Then there is the whole thing where most browsers show link urls in the status bar (there are hover tricks that can be done in javascript, but Slashdot filters comments, so no worry here).
Absolutely, they should ban user installation of server daemons on user workstations, not restrict it to a particular type of software that happens to default to serving everything on the computer.
We probably don't need it, but I bet millions of people are willing to buy it.
(Personally, I will probably upgrade to Windows 7 when I buy a new computer and 64 bit will probably be a shopping point, but I don't expect everybody to wait)
Does that apply to the various objects containing lightbulbs that I own?
I would hate to think that the FCC could come to my house and confiscate my filament bulbs (I already use CFLs in sockets that see high use, I use already purchased filaments elsewhere, CFLs wouldn't save me a dime in those sockets).
Right, for really low usage, pay per minute makes the most sense. Closer to 100 minutes a month and the minute packs make more sense (I forgot about pay per minute because I would be paying a lot more per month if I was paying $0.18 per minute).
It is probably also worth mentioning that they usually offer several phones for $10 or even $0 after you factor in the airtime credit that comes with the phone.
You can pay Virgin Mobile $20 every 30 days, that buys 200 minutes that roll forward (you can also pay more and get a better prepaid per minute rate, or pay monthly for somewhat better rates, with the lowest rate being $50 a month for unlimited voice). That almost addresses both of your concerns (it still wastes a bunch of minutes, but the cost is lower than any contract).
If people aren't doing that, Spamgourmet is effective (I don't use it, but I was curious how far they took things). Even if spammers were doing that, you could set up a filter and have the option of dealing with those emails on a lower priority basis.
Also, they have a feature where you can require a changeable prefix in the address (i.e prefix.whatever..., anything without it gets ignored) and offer the ability to disable/delete accounts.
SBC was both chopped out of what was once AT&T. They acquired AT&T (the long distance and wireless operator) and renamed themselves AT&T. Shortly after that, they bought Bell South, another big chunk of what was once AT&T, at which point they were able to rename Cingular to AT&T wireless, along with consolidating the two wireless companies.
If that rule doesn't apply to the market for entertainment, I don't know where it possibly could apply. If you had to no choice but to purchase some drmed media for education or work, well, that sucks, but that is a pretty narrow sliver of the media market.

The only person I knew in the nuclear program at school was planning on going into medicine.

Nearly anywhere hackers can be found?
39 and 40 are the first two messages from the summary.
The third message linked in the summary seems to be from a different thread.
It might depend on a little on how much each store paid.
I mean, the right to be smug isn't even worth $1 an hour to me.
So why did they buy ATI, to get rid of CXOs and fuck around with the accounting books?
It isn't like a a multi-million dollar division is going to be run by that many fewer people.

The vast majority of the security improving changes in Vista are user facing (mostly the default configuration and UAC), not under the hood.
Judging from litter, around here is is probably Busch Light, or maybe Coors Light.

For people who doubt, paying cash is entirely possible in the U.S. (you might have to buy a phone instead of a SIM though).
There are probably several providers who will do it, I have only done it using Net10.
I suggest relaxing with a nice drink before you drive.
The convenient thing about jerks is that, nearly by definition, they aren't worried about justification.

When I first glanced at the headline, I wondered if they were running it on top of a botnet.
It would have a nice poetry to it.
Ah, the one in Toledo.
SBC was both chopped out of what was once AT&T. They acquired AT&T (the long distance and wireless operator) and renamed themselves AT&T. Shortly after that, they bought Bell South, another big chunk of what was once AT&T, at which point they were able to rename Cingular to AT&T wireless, along with consolidating the two wireless companies.
So it is only sort of a different company.

If I can look at it on my computer screen, I can tell my computer to make a log of it.
'free of ambiguity' is not something I see as a goal for a spoken language, so I might call it an implementation detail, but I wouldn't call it a bug.
Measuring from the outside, both equate to "can't", hence my comment that the distinction isn't very interesting.
