Also if you actually bother to read the coolpad page they have a note and picture on the right side of the page siting research stating that "experienced touch typists" try to type using a negative incline. The picture shows the laptop on the coolpad with the direction of the coolpad reversed.
well, with realplayer you don't have to enter any registration info on the website to get the free player, and you can cancel out of the registration during setup as setup is actually already really complete at that point. They don't make you very aware of the fact that the registration is voluntary, but just hitting cancel will finish the setup without having to enter bogus data.
They don't make money on the iTunes music store so that would be impossible. The iTunes music store has helped sell iPods though. So for that reason alone the pricing makes sense. Of course the other posters have all mentioned why the pricing doesn't make sense so I won't repeat that.
Shakamojo is using the term opt-in to refer to a white listing system where all messages are refused unless the sender is on the white list. In this case you would approve or deny unknown senders before the message hits your inbox. Rejected senders would be refused in the future. Now, for this opt-in system it doesn't matter if the message is spam or not (using your definition of spam) as all messages have thier senders checked against the white list. You then have to approve the message regardless of it being sent to one person or 30 million people. This is akin to marking every message as spam from the get go. This is what I believe Shimmer was calling a "lousy idea."
Now, making spam (using your definition) illegal to send to people that haven't opted in is fine in the legal sense as we then have action we can take against spammers that don't follow the rules. However it's not dealing with the points that were made in the first two comments. Shakamojos description does effect legitimate email while not really affecting spam. You still have to approve or reject messages which is hardly differant than sorting them out of your inbox or sifting through a junk mail filter.
And how exactly do you determine that this same email has been sent? You are missing the point. The client has absolutely no way of knowing the message it just recieved was sent to 20 million other people. The server the client connects to has no way of knowing it was sent to 20 million other people unless it recieved more than one copy of the message to multiple recipients and does a comparison of every email coming through and then stores that information. The sending server could stop a message being sent to 30 million differant people if it scanned each outgoing message for its content, but spammers would never use an smtp server that did that so it would never work. There are also a multitude of issues with the server going through the body of every message it reiceves. From processing time to privacy concerns.
All in all several people have basically asked you how you determine a message is spam and you have failed to provide even a slightly detailed response. Just, if it's sent 30 million times it must be spam. Well, how do you propose we figure that out?
X as in OS X or OS 10. You'll notice that he compares the speed of X with the speed of 9. He's not comparing the speed of Panther with the X you are thinking of, but with the original Mac OS X release or possibly Jaguar.
It's not just Apple. The last five or six PC mobos I bought have bt capabilbites built into them. However none of them are being used. So the fact that bt is being sold in large quantities probably doesn't reflect the number of people actually using the tech. Just the number of OEMs pushing it.
All of Symantecs crap is like that now. Tons of registry entries, tons of files placed in the "Common Files" foders etc. It's become as bad as half of the malware out there as far as what crap gets placed on the system. It's also fricking impossible to remove all of it after an uninstall. Especially since the Uninstall barely removes anything.
No, it doesn't matter if the agent was on or off duty in the context you are talking about however, that's not what the parent poster was talking about. The parent poster is saying that he bets the FBI uses AOL accounts to catch people commiting these types of crimes. Which may or may not be the case. What I was pointing out is that in this case the only reason the FBI is involved is because an Agent recieved the spam. The article specifically mentions that the agent was off-duty. This implies that it was the agents personal account. So, even if the FBI does use AOL accounts internally for the sole purpose of catching spam that doesn't apply to this instance, noe is your comment relavent to my reply. We were talking about if the FBI uses AOL to catch scammers, not whether the person was commiting a crime.
Makes sense except for one thing. The article clearly states this agent was OFF-DUTY! Implying of course that this was the agents personal method of Internet access.
It is more likely that they had attempted to figure out exactly what they would get out of this hardware before hand. Then when nearing completion of the project found things to be turning out a little bit differantly than they expected. Hence additional tweaks and expected additional performance increases. Just because you have something planned out at the beginning doesn't mean things are going to turn out exactly how you expect them to. No matter how much time and money is spent on that planning stage. I also believe the results speak for themselves. They are hitting number 3 on the list based on current tests, and expect to get another 10% out of it. They haven't really spent that much money (we are talking about super computers not $.99 loaves of bread here). They got things up and running very quickly. This says they are either really lucky, or they had a great plan and executed it very well.
"But you don't care about that kind of stuff. Dont care about spreading freedom! Stop being a patsy of the negitive media. Wakeup and get educated."
You assume of course, as do so many, that this is what the people we are spreading our idea of freedom want. When the truth of the matter is they might not particularly care for our idea of freedom. Either because they haven't experienced it, or because they believe that things should be done differantly. Forcing the American idea of freedom on the rest of the world is no better than a dictator forcing his ideals on his populace.

That's because it's four standard sized internal drives... The extra cash is paying for the controller card and casing that puts it all together.
Maybe his point was that he can't get enough IP addresses now. Not entirely likely, but not entirely unlikely either.

That was my first thought as well. While EMC makes some nice stuff I don't see how anyone can justify the cost.
Not quite $40 but close enough for government work. Of course once you including shipping you are looking at $50.

No kidding. The primary problem is the ISPs and thier upstream.
Sad but true. The last thing HP needs to do right now is buy yet another company.

That's because it's a "secret"
This wouldn't matter. The banner would still be downloaded, it just wouldn't be displayed.

No he means PowerQuest Drive Image which now also requires activation. I know a lot of people that are dropping PQ because of the new activation code.
This doesn't have anything to do with Apple or Apples legal team.
How is this informative, it says right at the bottom of the news post

I couldn't agree with you more.
