I've been able to access it just fine literally minutes ago. I keep my scripting off though, because a couple of months ago, a tainted ad server tossed a trojan into my stytem. It's been purged, and since I remembered to turn scripting off, it hasn't happened since.
At least I hope someday everyone will agree and kill this form of advertising. Hello, I do not live in a cave, I know who's running and for what in my state. I work at home, so every call is potentially important, and I don't need to have my time wasted by a telephone recording.
It's a pity the do not call list doesn't apply to non profits or PACs.
I'll never forget the day a few years back, when visiting a local Goodwill, and noticing that one of their "premium" items (the ones locked in a case, which folks with half an IQ point would recognize as being worth somewhere between dick and squat), was a Cuecat, for $2.75 no less. Even more ironic is that a few years earlier, they were being handed away for free at a Radio Shack.
So keep an eye open, you might own a piece of nonhistory from a nonprofit (hah!) for a few bucks.
Before planning on colonizing Mars, they should first build an orbital station in lunar orbit, and first set out on building a permanent lunar base. With regular cargo shipments of fuel, parts, construction supplies, etc, would a Mars colonial expedition become feasible.
Hell, if you commercialize it early on, the expense would be reduced (Rei/Max would pay a ton just to have a photo of a "For Sale" sign on the surface of Mars), perhaps even halved if enough companies sign on.
What if you're a passenger in a car? Even if they could pinpoint the location with GPS's limitation, how do they know you're the driver?
In addition, every state, and every country has a different speed limit (even different counties). For example, the speed limit in the stretches around the Puget Sound range from 55 to 65 MPH. Other states in the US have speed limits up to 70, and some of which where the highways have little towns and even less local traffic (such as N. Dakota) have little to no speed limit at all.
So hypothetically speaking, anyone using said technology without an up to date map of regions allowing for said speed limits could not only be capable of false negatives, but could be used for damning (albeit erroneous) testimony, applied in regions where a similar case would be applied, such as a jury that doesn't *know* you could drive legally at 70 MPH in any given region.
Or is it that as current and previous news reports on/. shows, the music industry wanting a larger cut of iTunes profits, and Europe wanting removable batteries on the iPhone, Steve Jobs is murmuring about taking his ball and going home?
Not only that, but your willingness to see the bible as "proof" can determine your entire political future.
Case in point, the libelous e-mails claiming Obama is a Muslim. Even despite being proven wrong (repeatedly!), 2/3 of the people who received it are voting McCain because "They don't want a Muslim in the White House".
Meanwhile, John "Agents of Intolerance" McCain plants his puckered lips on Falwell's buttocks, and all is forgiven.
So all you need to get into office as far as the GOP is concerned, is to believe in some invisible monster that'll give you everything you want if you smooch it's omnipotent butt in front of everybody.
Too bad we can't do what the Brits did when their religious nutjobs got too annoying, then we'd be more like the United States of Canada or something.
Now that American protesters can be charged as terrorists (such as in Ramsey County, MN) as seen at http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/09/rnc-protesters.html, how long until all politically dissenting videos are blocked from YouTube as well?
Better watch out regardless, based on one of the charges used against the protesters, jaywalkers get a free trip to Gitmo (for disrupting traffic).
FTA: "Kramer isn't resting on his laurels, though. He is currently working on a new device which will record telephone calls and send the audio file via email. The device is expected to be used for business meetings and interviews."
Buh, wha-? That sort of thing's been around for at least a decade now. Hope he holds onto those iPod monies, he's gonna need them.

Well with a fowl attitude like that, no wonder nobody gets your yolks.
So you think Jack Thompson is gonna try for 2012? Well, at least that may result in electronic voting going out the door, being videogames and all.
And pencil in J.R. "Bob" Dobbs while you're at it!
Huh. I would have gone with:
Where are we going?
Planet Ten!
When will we get there?
Real soon!

Great, just what we need, The Lockhorns on Mars. Uh oh, Loretta crashed the Mars buggy through the wall again!

Crow T Robot, "People have such cute names for sex."
There, that should have made it overload and melt down. I hope you didn't have it on your lap.
Wow, guess I hit a nerve in the Christoid segment of /. That sure taught me! Thanks for proving my point, douchebags!
Actually it was a paraphrase from MST3K, I don't think they had the space to quote an entire scene from a David Lynch movie.

You forgot the most important part: Eraserhead Chicken. They're man made and they're new!
Mike broke the Hubble in MST3K: The Movie.
Guh, can't believe I had to explain that. I'm either very very very smart, or have very very very little of a life.
But sticking the whole chicken up your butt DOES make you very kinky.
Sorry, had to respond to your .sig. Couldn't resist.
Give Apple a foot and they WILL try to take the whole yard!

IIRC, Vonage, a few cellular providers, and major ISPs have been doing "Voice E-Mail" for almost a decade now.

No longer would we have to call Dutch Elm Disease a disease, we can just call it "Urban Renewal".
FTA: "Tolkien's hobbits would feel right at home in new dwellings made out of living tree roots and designed to protect inhabitants from earthquakes."
Wut? I'm no expert in Tolkein, but don't hobbits live underground?
