I always stake my territory by signing the back of the checks from the people that are paying me to do the work. Sure, an info file with compile options, versions of libs, and contact info (only to be used if they want me to sign more checks).
Ok, this is a first. Thanks Enron. By your scamming of the public, you have caused new laws that hold executives accountable for this under the table crap. 5 years ago, this stuff went on, but would never be in a public disclosure. Now, little Steve could actually go to jail if this was not reported. I just think it's great than Enron actually ended up doing some good.
Actually, these are fairly insightful. Thanks. I didn't realize how wrapped up in the world plan this all was. Ixohoxi, and Lawgiver1, have opened my eyes.
I appreciate Ixohoxi taking the time to point out the rational explanation to this disaster. It had nothing to do with tiles, but numbers. The "Real Insight" link in his post directed me to some wonderful info. In fact, it helped me decipher him. His usernumber is 170656. Add these together, and you get 25. Genesis 2:5 clearly states: when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up.
Understanding this "herb" of which God speaks, made me understand that the bible clearly states that Ixohoxi is growing pot in his backyard. Furthermore, the Balognians used Ixohoxi to describe as the collector of fluid used to clean out the whore of balogna's vagina.

Really, go to a local travel agent for this trip. This is not your average vacation, it's your honeymoon. When you go through a real live travel agent, you end up with this nice neat packet containing all your tickets, information, transfers, luggage tags (they handled it from the airport to our hotel room). The agent can tell you things you won't have heard of elsewhere, and can steer you clear of crappy stuff. With a wedding going on, the last thing you want to have to worry about is all the details of the trip
Here is a true story. My wife and I just went to Hawaii last month. Unfortunately, traffic at Logan airport was insane, and we actually missed our flight out. We grabbed our cell phone, and left our travel agent a message at about 7 am. We got to Hawaii about 5 and a half hours late, due to rerouting to all new flights. When we got there, a nice woman had our names on a sign right at the gate to meet us. She gave us leis, got our luggage taken care of, and escorted us to our hotel. We were completely taken care of, because our agent wanted to make sure we were ok, and that we had a good time when we got there. Let's see priceline do THAT.
If they would use Smart Digital or Compact Flash I'd get one is a heartbeat.
Well, no. See, there is a thing called business, and they do it to make money. If you have a Sony camera, they want you to buy a Sony PDA (or the other way around). They don't want you going out and buying a Tungstun, or PokiePC, they want you to buy Sony. Once they get you for the first product, you will see that it is best to reuse a small part of that in your next purchase. It's kind of like a drug dealer, the first taste is easy, and then your in.
I say that, because I had the exact same problem when I got my wireless setup (linksys card and router). Sitting on the couch (about 25 feet from the AP), I would have to tilt the laptop on my lap, just to get a signal. It was quite awkward, and I was REALLY unimpressed after reading on the box that I should get hundreds of feet, and yet, it lost connection if I put it down on the coffee table.
I read some online forums, and saw people who had much better luck with Orinoco cards. I called where I had ordered it from, and got an RMA for the linksys card, and bought a brand new Orinoco silver card. I can now be anywhere in the house, and 300 feet down the street with perfect signal.
This made wireless just what I thought it should be. Stable, and good signals everywhere. I kept the linksys AP, because that seemed to work great with the Orinoco card.
Find a friend who has an Orinoco card, and try it on your laptop. You will buy one that night.
I just want to clarify that "lifetime service fee" that everyone keeps harping on. It only covers the life of the unit, not your life. This is clipped right from the tivo website:
Product Lifetime Description
Conditions of use
A product lifetime subscription to the TiVo service covers the life of the TiVo Digital Video Recorder (DVR) you buy--not the life of the subscriber. The product lifetime subscription accompanies the product in case of ownership transfer. The subscription remains in effect if your DVR needs to be repaired or replaced due to a malfunction (see manufacturer warranty details). Because a product lifetime subscription is linked to a particular DVR, it cannot be transferred to any other DVR (unless the DVR is replaced due to a malfunction covered by the manufacturer's warranty). Each DVR purchased requires its own service subscription and activation.
Of course, hardware products don't last forever and their lifespan will vary among individual products. TiVo makes no representations or warranties as to the expected lifetime of the product aside from the manufacturer's warranty.
As I'm reading these stories, I am amazed at all of you that won first place (almost like every woman who was reincarnated was Cleopatra). Me, well, I used to come in near the bottom of the pack (pun intended). My "Dad" was no help. I still have a couple of 30 year old cars tucked away in the basement somewhere. The Lemon. Bright yellow, with a dribble of lead that I slopped out the back of the car sticking up as an antenna (ooh, that helped). It was still fun. Sure, I would get killed on the track by other kids dads, but I took pride in building them myself.
If nonprofits are exempt then can't they just solicit everyone on the do-not-call list?
True, they could, but if I go to the trouble of putting my number on a "do not call" list, what are the odds that I'm going to want that call from them. What are the odds that I will give them money, or votes? Not very good.
I will never buy from a telemarketing phone call, or a pop-up ad. NEVER. Get it?
I got the A30 a while ago. Put in a second 30 Gig drive, and stuck in a Gig of RAM. Is it as fast as my desktop? Ummm, no. The drives are too slow (need to upgrade them soon). Does it fit the need? Yup, and quite well. It travels around the country in a nice leather shoulder bag (mostly plugged in, because I went for the extra drive, and not the batt).
As soon as the EFF has the monopoly on freedom, they can send me a bill in the same amount as my cable bill (with modem). Until then, it's small donations. Sorry guys, but I'm just not going to send a "Microsoft Tax" to someone else who is trying to guilt me into it.
Dear TweakTown (and all web developers (are you listening Tom's Hardware)),
I REALLY don't like having to click through 6 pages to read an article (when it's really slow, it makes me just close the browser). I understand that you like to call it 6 hits, and you get to charge 6 times for the ads, but really. Unfortunately, I got the first page, and left your site because I was not going to keep going through this, even though I wanted to read the article. Could you please stop this.
And I'm afraid that you are spreading FUD about what the question was in the first place. Get off your damn soapbox for a second, and read the original posting.
"Nicsterrr" is "considering contributing" to this project. He is not asking about using it himself, or modification for himself. (or herself, sorry ladies)
I'll be happy to appoint you as GPL Nazi for Slashdot, but as such, you should learn to read the actual questions before going off half cocked.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it

I am using Linux. Send me 8 copies of 2003 Advanced Server (under the GPL of course) for the same price, and I will be happy to switch.

OSDN, The parent of Slashdot, has filed a lawsuit against Linus today for cut-and-pasting the first three letters of OSDN.
CmdrTaco was quoted and saying "Linus and this Shift-Insert stuff is getting WAY out of control".
Linus was unavailable to paste in a reply.
Can you imagine using a hard drive that was designed a decade ago? Or a processor from two centuries past?
I do use a processor that is more than two centuries old. It's called my brain.
PS: QWERTY still works for me. Should I switch it because that would increase new keyboard sales?
This is one slashdot story I'll need to read at -1, just for the vibrator trolls
Sorry, my wife used Occam's razor to shave her legs over the weekend. It's a little dull now, so it must have been the aliens
contain a chip that disables the cartridge if it is refilled and replaced in a Dell printer
Ok, time to start filling the cartridge while it is still in the printer. That way, it's never "replaced in the printer"
The MCSE with > 50 karma. Do *you* believe in miracles?
Excellent Smithers. Excellent.
1. We don't measure karma in numbers anymore, we measure in words
2. You could never have > 50 karma, because it was capped at 50. Remember 50 + 2 - 1 = 49?
So, your sig should read:
The Typical MCSE who is behind the times, does not understand the measurment, and needs a GUI to count.

Plain and simple. It's the card.

Can I also send a letter of demand to my ISP and get every record of everything I have done on the internet (excluding my stupid comments on /.).
Can I then demand that that information be removed from all systems they own? I feel a lawsuit coming on to test this damned DMCA.
