Considering your spelling, you're not even 17, you don't know what you're talking about, and you should go back to learning highschool math and eating your parents' hard-earnedfood.
How do you know his parents' own their home in joint tenancy? What if his Mom is the only one with title to the family home? In that case, it would be "...eating your parent's hard-earned food.", no?
You know... It's people like you that gave us C# and Java crap (I can never write code that properly uses pointers, so pointers must be A BAD THING! Let's create a language that doesn't use pointers!)
Learn about threads and synchronization and stop writing code with race conditions!
Is it a game? I admit I didn't go too far beyond the "What is There" blurb, but it didn't strike me as a game. It had the look and feel of an online singles bar.
If it actually is a game, perhaps they need some marketing guys to look at their web page.
Perhaps I've become an old curmudgeon, but what exactly is the point of There? Clicking on their "What is There" buttons gives the following blurb:
There is an online getaway where you can hang out with your friends and meet new ones--all in a lush 3D environment that's yours to explore! Check out the pictures below for just a glimpse of what you'll find in There. Then sign up for a free trial and see it all for yourself!
Maybe it's just me but everyday I open up the door I enter a "lush 3D environment". (Ok, not so lush. I live on Long Island -- part of the New York metro area.) But it's immensely more satisfying than any online experience.
5. They are not totally unemployed. No benefits are payable for any day on which they performed some work whether full-time or part-time, or on a self-employed or freelance basis.
I couldn't find anything about having to be paid for self-employed work and I'm not a labor lawyer. Are you?
My father-in-law owned a used-car-lot in NY. He went out of business and began collecting un-employment during his job search. During this period he sold one of the family cars. The department of labor found out and made him pay back his unemployment benefits.
All right, if your willing to stare at a video image of my newborn sleeping, knock yourself out. You can even get the audio of his weird little grunts if you want.
Hell, I'm his Dad and I can only watch him for 5 or ten minutes, in real life, not video!
There was a landlord, I believe in Long Island, New York, who was video taping his tenant, a young woman in her bedroom. He was convicted of some strange-ass crime like Criminal use of power, because his videos contained no audio but he had the camera plugged into her power.
But I thought in New York they passed a law to make video snooping illegal. San Francisco's not in NY and perhaps the law makes a distinction about receiving a broadcast signal and placing a camera to snoop, I don't know. Of course, IANACL (I am not a competent lawyer).
I remember telling my father once after he had bought a 40Mb hard drive that this should last him forever. Nothing could ever fill up more than this. Of course this was well before the days of.mp3 and.mpg.
When I was a kid, I remember watching the Jetsons and when George came home from work he coomplained that he had just finished a hard day at work pushing buttons. I remarked to my father that Noone could ever get a job where all they did was push buttons all day. Now, except for the one knob on the 'scope under my desk, all my interfaces to the outside world ARE buttons.
Here's a cut-n-paste of an email I got from Dell support this morning. I don't know if the guy is from India but he did have some type of accent on the phone. Anyway, I kind of understood the first paragraph. Anyone want to take a whack at deciphering the second paragraph for me?
I don not believe that problem is related to heat compliance, you did check all the system and there was no errors on fan. Usually when we run dell diagnostic we are going to see the part that may need to be replaced.
The enviroment when we move our system form one weather to other that minimize the live on hdd, at this point I can replace the hdd. The Latitud C810 has a lot of ventilation this system has two fan that work when it detect heat on system.
I going to do a dispatch for you, and going to send in other email.
Now, my original complaint was that we've already replaced the hard drive a few times and wee ought to look for an underlying cause. That was completely ignored...
I am planning to purchase a PC for my almost techincally illiterate parents. Anyone have an idea of how bad Gateways service is?
That damn Microsoft. How dare they tread on my right to free spee...
Gak... Spam is bad! Microsoft is bad! My little karma whoring fingers can't figure out which side of this article to comment on! What a slashdot-dilemma!
It is unfortunate that the telemarketer in this case was probably some guy who didn't know what he was doing, but the fact is that the telemarketer was breaking the law (whether that was his intent or not).
Right. Isn't that exactly the point, though? It's OK for a lawyer proceed right to formal legal communications when he's planning on suing a telemarketer (or any other SlashCrowd hatee), but it's not OK for a lawyer to sue a student that's sharing files on his/her school's network.
Why are these two cases so different? In this case, the attorney did try and contact the defendant, but he clearly implied that he already planned to sue when he was looking for contact numbers and that this search was part of his being "over-prepared".
Someone needs to explain to me why "hilarity ensues" when an attorney sues a telemarketer, but it doesn't ensue when an attorney sends a cease and desist order?
Shouldn't the attorney have just called this poor landscaper up and asked him to stop making calls first?
Aren't MAN pages and other docs also covered, by and large, by some form of "free" license? If so, then why aren't they required to freely distribute the pdf files?
I guess you didn't read the article, huh? Actually what happened is I agree to grant you a license to live in the house (AKA a lease) and I specifically prohibit you from transferring this lease (sublet it) to anyone else.
I think we can all see the value in letting an owner protect his property in this manner, no?
IP 65 is some european standard for equipment sealing that, I believe, specifies water jets in all directions. There's another spec (maybe IP64? I forget) that specifies salt fog.
Googling IP65 brought up a number of manufacturers of sealed PCs. Probably fairly expensive, though.
I also saw sealed keyboards and LCDs. Perhaps a better (cheaper) idea is to keep the PC belowboards with only a selaed keyboard and display.

No, you're missing the point. European sports just really don't matter, now, do they?
Hmmm...
From the NYS department of labor UI site:
I couldn't find anything about having to be paid for self-employed work and I'm not a labor lawyer. Are you?
My father-in-law owned a used-car-lot in NY. He went out of business and began collecting un-employment during his job search. During this period he sold one of the family cars. The department of labor found out and made him pay back his unemployment benefits.
I'm sure I don't know all of the details...
You didn't cash on unemployment checks while you started this business, did you?
All right, you got me. I was lying -- hoping to make a point. I only have the audio monitor...
All right, if your willing to stare at a video image of my newborn sleeping, knock yourself out. You can even get the audio of his weird little grunts if you want.

Yeah... Remember the old 5-1/4" floppies? They were, what was then called full-height as well.
I remember booting a DEC-20 off of an 8" rack mount floppy drive. But now I'm just shamelessly geezing!

Did you configure your BIOS to boot of CD?

You forgota reason. Because the bastard is guilty and wasn't denied any rights. He just lies!

Bzzzzt... Wrong!
They just weren't allowed to sell during the quiet period. Which is an absolutely normal corporate practice and generally considered "A good thing."
What annoyed the SEC is that there was an appearance that some corporate execs were allowed to sell off their holdings during this period.
Could be... I think it's been probably 15 years since I've been reading any fantasy. I may have mis-recalled the author.
