If you read the SANS article, the fake site apparently has a photo of the ticket recipient's car.
The example car is taking up two parking spaces.
Maybe everyone gets the same photo, but I suspect that the person who did this found a new way to take their frustration out on idiots who can't figure out how to operate their vehicle, rather than the tried and true method of parking against their doors so they can't get back in.
On a brighter note, sticking to your guns had probably proved to your bosses that you aren't any good at hiring, and a possibility that you might be the next one out the door.
Entirely possible. A lot of places will take the first warm body to fill the chair in the hopes that they get something done, and if a warmer body comes along the first guy can be dumped pretty quick.
those who wanted to learn ended up going to a University of their choice, and those who couldn't be arsed weren't allowed to disrupt the teaching
Funny, that's exactly how it is here, give or take a stray "you scolded my precious precious baby!!1!" lawsuit. The difference here is that if "half the kids were rough as anything" its because the teacher is an abject failure and should be thrown out on the street in favor of someone who can somehow convince "those who couldn't be arsed" to be arsed.
The rest of your troll aside, I agree. Cox IS right to do this, provided that
time-sensitive Internet traffic - such as web pages, voice calls, streaming videos and gaming
is not defined by where the data is going. If Cox blocks competitors' voice calls in order to ensure that their "time-sensitive" voice calls get through, or blocks websites so that their "partner" websites get through... that's bad.
Of course showing a correlation furthers your argument
An apple is a fruit, not all fruits are apples. The "direction" of correlation matters, otherwise we draw useless and incorrect conclusions, such as breathing air causes people to kill or videogames cause people to kill.
But correlation is a requirement of causation. If you want to claim videogames cause violence, then you have to show a correlation from videogames to violence. Showing a correlation from violence to videogames does nothing to further your argument because as others pointed out, killing spreeers breathe oxygen too.
This would go farther towards real network neutrality than any misguided law. Comcast wants to cut off google and iTunes? That's ok, a half-dozen more companies will show up and advertise the "real internet" to Comcast's customers.
Bonus points if it leads to the installation of empty conduit, the real infrastructure solution to "wah I don't want everyone and their dog to be ripping up the road every other day!"
I just have a bookmarks folder with each bookmark titled with the name of the account I need to pay and the day of the month a week or so before its normal due date. Most of them don't vary by more than a couple of days so I can just browse through that folder every week to see if there's something that needs to be paid.
they don't need to worry about additional security?
What, "security" as in after the guy who stole your card buys $5000 in stereos and TVs with it, they send thugs around to your house to collect when you dispute the charges?
Suddenly there's a "for sale" sign out front. I wonder what happened
So buy it (you can probably get it cheap) and tear it down. Break up the slab or fill the basement and nature will fix the rest in a few years. If you were there before the neighborhood, you shouldn't have any lawn or deed restrictions to worry about.
Slashdot Mirror
as soon as you plan to do something slightly advanced
Such as pull up the calendar in windows XP by double-clicking on the time in the status bar.
That involves the patent lawyer, and that is why he needs to continue talking to the patent lawyer instead of random /. strangers.
Patent lawyer: "Why yes! Of course you should pay me $10,000! Otherwise the boogeyman will get you!"
Sometimes a second opinion is a good idea. Whether slashdot gives a good second opinion is left as an exercise to the reader.
1. You are parked legally

If fetuses are living humans, how 'come we don't prosecute women who miscarry naturally? Wouldn't that at least be manslaughter?
Funny you should mention that... http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,595048573,00.html?pg=1 (not mentioned in all the hearsay in the article about her "fear of being scarred": her previous child was delivered by c-section)

The report is obviously not a techy. Its "IP Address"!
But is the reporter a science guy?
Bacteria are a tiny fraction of the size of your cells.
http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm has a nifty little flash movie demonstrating the size difference.
You cannot work for a large corporation and have true freedom of expression. At least you cannot in Europe.
Sure you can. You can say whatever you want, but then you have to face the consequences. Just like in America.
they are fanatics about locking down their own systems and a rogue program would be noticed very quickly.
Well, hopefully they're better "locked down" than the FBI was.
Richard Feynman mustn't have had access to this particular safe.
He's probably out there thinking "so that's where I put my aftershave!"
Not only that but the purpose of these units is to create analog output. NONE of them are going to have a "raw stream" to grab.

Yes, yes, "correlation doesn't imply causation,"
But correlation is a requirement of causation. If you want to claim videogames cause violence, then you have to show a correlation from videogames to violence. Showing a correlation from violence to videogames does nothing to further your argument because as others pointed out, killing spreeers breathe oxygen too.
Is it wrong to give it to them?
That's a good question. Let's ask Dr. Kevorkian, he knows all about giving people what they asked for.
a little insect
You obviously haven't seen how big insects can get.
heavily deregulating franchising laws

"HeadOn! Apply directly to the forehead."
That'd work so much better than just the usual "ding ding ding" to let you know you left the lights on/keys in the ignition/fly open/whatever else.
This situation makes destroying your HDD completely futile, eh.
If the car thief smashes your window and hotwires your car, it certainly made remembering to take the keys out of the ignition futile, eh.

all for the only work being looking for a job like the one you left
Most states unemployment rules make you take the first job that comes along, whether it was like the one you left or not.

People need to learn to eat their shredded wheat damnit.
For that there's Frosted Mini-Wheats (Which I do admit to eating when I want something sweet. But... what the hell is a mini-wheat?)
