Well, not sure about where you are, but around here, adnauseum is the mail server.
It could also be an openX server

Note to developers: It appears that if you make your application as silly and insanely annoying as humanly possible, people will use it and continuously sent me messages with it. While you might make money doing this, I have spoken to God and you will in fact be going to hell.
You know, I asked god the exact same question and got his reply on video.
DRM does it again. Does this mean consumers who've been affected by this can sue? After all, Epic did technically violate an inherent contract in the buying and selling of video games: consumers give money to a company in order to play the video game (permanently). Since the consumers essentially do not have their game anymore, they paid for nothing more than a rental. It's akin to selling your car, then taking it back a few weeks later and pocketing the money you stole, er, made. At least they should be giving a full refund to the affected consumers.
I'd like to know the answer to that myself. My understanding from several years ago is that, assuming that EULAs are enforceable, and that they all say similar things (I haven't read GOWs EULA), they usually have a clause that says that the software is sold "as is" and that they only guarantee that the media on which it is sold is usable.
Why is it the customer's responsibility to enforce the law? If I own a convenience store and I have a problem with shoplifting, it isn't the law-abiding customer's responsibility to become volunteer crime fighters when they're in my store.
And, if my attempt to prevent shoplifting involves giving every customer a full cavity search, making false accusations, and occasionally not giving the customer what they paid for, then I have failed to come up with a realistic and workable business model. I would have no one to blame for that fiasco than myself.
So, yes, Epic should be held responsible for the business decisions they make and for the consequences those decisions have on legitimate customers.
The old studies showing that marijuana causes memory loss were refuted long ago. In fact, almost all of the supposed negative effects of marijuana use were reported by one biased research team and their work can generally be dismissed outright.
Excellent point. If you want something artistic and original, go see an indie film. If you want something high budget, with mainstream appeal, go see "Blade Runner 2: Wrath of the Electric Sheep".
Its only 35 years ago every "Expert" and "Scientist" (sorry to kill your God here Atheists) was telling us we were heading for a new Ice Age. Don't take my word for it, look it up.
ok, i did look it up. here are the results:/quote>...They find very few papers (7 in total) predict global cooling. This isn't surprising. What surprises is that even in the 1970s, on the back of 3 decades of cooling, more papers (42 in total) predict global warming due to CO2 than cooling.
Absolutely! I hear you brother. I've totally lost confidence in *them*. Let's face it. Every time *they* have predicted the end of the world, *they* have been wrong. EVERY SINGLE TIME!
I mean, if once -- only one time -- *they* got it right, I'd be willing to listen. But let's face it. *They* must be absolutely insane, because in my long life (and my father's and his father's before him) I have *never* EVEN ONCE died a horrible death from a world wide disaster of our own making.
And like you say, technology *always* saves us (a fact that *they* are always too eager to sweep under the rug). Every time technology has saved us from imminent disaster, every single time mind you, it has been *technology* that has saved us. *They* would have us think that there are limits to what technology can do for us. But who are *they* anyway to say such nonsense. Let's just look at history.
I'm just so tired of all this crap. I say, let's forget these stupid scare mongers and get back to something *important* like getting terrorists out of our beautiful country! ]
No. If we wait long enough someone will invent a terrorist killing machine, and we'll be done with it. The secret is to go shopping, so that businesses will have enough money to fuel their technology inventing machines.
Yes, I was. I think the fact that the show begins with the flying man premise makes it possible for you to get over it quickly. The technology is different, since it can happen at any point in the show.
I am also a hypocrite because I like it when shows like "heroes" try to provide a realistic portrayal of what it would be like to have super powers.
It makes me cringe watching something like Smallville that pulls so much crap as far as hacking goes. It didn't used to be that way but now if someone needs something they walk into a room with a 'wireless device' that pulls information off of the servers automatically. Or wirelessly copies hard drives in matters of seconds. Or so many plots that involve Cloe hacking the NSA/local police/DHS mainframes in a matter of seconds to get that vital piece of information.
I thought it was unrealistic the way the guy could fly, and how bullets would bounce off his chest.
IMO, Computer skills, in general, are becoming what literacy was a century ago. Sure, it is a skill that some don't have, and those that don't often are not constrained by money, or availability of the requisite materials.
And in some cases, such the case of the elderly, or a factory worker living in a trailer park, somewhere, the skill may not be needed. But those who choose to do without are limiting themselves and their potential.
As for their children and neighbors, well, they are part of that other 1/3, and the fact that they are outnumbered does not make computer literacy any less useful for them.
How ever can you say such things? Don't you know that saving one child from a single nude photograph that involved no physical contact is far more important than preventing murder, rape and even genocide of entire populations.
Hey! If it were genocide, they would probably pay for the data.
Since they're basing it on open source, but not necessarily releasing it as such, it seems that they could implement any kind of orwellian controls, such as undroppable firewalls/net nannies, back doors, "phone home" apps that make it easier to spy on people, etc...
This is all speculation, but have we seen anything similar from China's operating system?
Tice further explained that "even for the NSA it's impossible to literally collect all communications.... What was done was sort of an ability to look at the metadata... and ferret that information to determine what communications would ultimately be collected."
So... they didn't really spy on everyone in the sense that they listened to my conversations so much as they COULD have.
Doesn't your quote imply that they did listen exactly as much as they COULD have? IE, to the best of their ability?

Removing "dont ask don't tell" and changing it to "tell, who cares". Obama is pro-gay, but he isn't beholden to just the gay community either. He is beholden to every citizen in the country, regardless if they voted for him. If he picked some openly gay pastor, you'd be happy but Obama would have pissed off another segment of our country.
But seriously, I might not agree with Mr. Warren's views and I might not be of the same faith as he, but you have to admit he gave a hell of a prayer.
"Pro gay" would be if he were encouraging people to be gay. Right now, the choices are "anti gay", "less anti gay", or neutral.

don't you mean that he should be stripped of his grandmother's basement and his MMORPG accounts?
It's about time Americans realised that the rest of the world is comprised of sovereign states not subject to their jurisdiction.
And if Italy saw things that way, then they wouldn't have arrested him.

I would hardly call the red dwarf sets elaborate, they look like they are about to fall apart most of the time
So how do we make the earth look like that? Oh, wait, problem solved...
Bug #1.
Donna keeps bitching about my software. time to "fix her".
Bug #2.
Never mind. Eric is a quick learner. bug fixed.
Don't you linux people have to reboot when you install firefox?

i don't know how you define the word "every, but "7 out of 42" is not certainly not how I would define it.
You know what your problem is? You're trusting "facts" and "logic" (sorry to kill your god here atheists)

Ok, I can buy the Microsoft may not be evil part, but slashdotters making out? That's never going to happen...Not even for practice...
What do you think they were looking for? Have you ever tried to pick up a 3g signal in a corn field?
Hmmm...B.H. Obama. Jeffery, get out the phone book. We need to determine where this guy lives.

televised over the internet??
Either it's televised on the television, or streamed on the internet. Just saying.
If televised is television, then what is it when your psychic gives you advice telepathically? As in, Miss Cleo televised me not to make this joke?
