this sounds like a jurisdiction question. He should appear specially without granting in personam jurisdiction (which is analgous to his "first trial"). This is what they do in real trials.
The difference is that trespass to chattels is a civil tort whereas breaking and entering is a criminal offense. It's great to have the criminal part of it (which we largely do already with all the computer crime laws) but there also needs to be an area for civil recovery to provide redress (read: money) to those who suffer harm.
despite the bugs and glitches, bf2 is still the most advanced FPS warsim published to date. It's very playable and the experience it provides is top notch.
I dont ever think computers will be able to spot a "good" wave - I'm with you, this thing is ridiculous. I go surfing to escape from everything - not bring it with me. I even get annoyed when those advertising banner planes fly overhead.
It's interesting to watch everyone salivate over google stock when there has been virtually no financial data published by the company (it is private after all).
Sure google is the most popular search engine and employs smart people but there's no telling what's happening on the business side of things.
A lot of people are talking about the quote with the xx's.. this is common practice in PR, we write the quotes in the release, they sign off on them.
Did you actually think the pr people were interviewing the ceo for a press release?

The social networking craze is eerily reminisent of the dotcom heyday - sure the technology is cool but does it really make all that much of a difference in the world or to people? Will people pay for it? I doubt it.
I have no idea why all the VC's are dumping money into these things.. it's only a matter of time before this little "bubble" bursts.
I don't know if it's a hack or not.. but on an East coast trip in HS a friend and I decided to take apart our disposable cameras for the sake of shits and giggles. After unwrapping them and exposing the circuitry we discovered by accident that if you charge the flash and then touch the two metal rods going to the flash it delivers a nasty jolt that makes your arm shake - all off a little 9v battery.
Needless to say, we carried that thing around everywhere "stunning" people until we were caught and it was taken away.
well shit then...since you're not selfish will you send me (via paypal) about $1000 to cover some miscellaneous computer and technology upgrades that I need around my house?
Until vendors can provide a benefit to consumers that motivates them to use a micropayment system, people aren't going to care about the overhead on their transaction. As far as they're concerned they've already paid the money with their credit card and could care less about how the vendor processes the money.
If the only reason motivating consumers to use micropayments is "so the store I'm doing business with makes more money" it just isnt going to work.
Your idea sounds very similar to those "flooz" dollars or whatever they were called. They were marketed as "the" net currency and they were giving them out on rosie on donnel and wheel of fortune a few years ago. I have no clue what happened to them.
I don't see what you're complaining about - it's support from big companies like HP that is helping the music industry transition their business model into the digital age.
Besides, it's in the best interests of consumers that there are these duplicate services - may the best service win.
I think you're looking a little too far into this - gateway did this to be competitive with dell, who as you recall has been a long time partner with redhat.

it's just an interview with a book author dude, just an interview...
check your inbox... one should be there
i resent that.. I have a comm degree. Let's be honest, the girls in liberal arts are hotter ;)
good call dude. I couldn't have said it better myself.
So goddamn true.... this is brilliant.

your mba program didn't require any post grad work experience?

They could be losing money for all we know.

Only a selfish person would say no.
but this is really ridiculous unless you own the building and are planning to lease network access to recover the costs.
Why not put the 7k into a low risk investment and sit on it a while?
i think there are nicer ways to put it ..wait no you pretty much hit the nail on the head.. you're right.
well said.
i couldn't have said that better myself.. if I could give out medals - you would certainly get one.
micropayments are a vendor problem.

it's too bad that this book was published at the same time that red hat announced the end of it's rh9/consumer linux support.
I'm willing to burn karma on this,
When they look back at slashdot, and talk about the point where it "jumped the shark"
this suggestion/news item/post will definitely be considered.
