Well, in that case challenge the decision with a written and signed statement from mom with the exact details of what happened. After which you will get rejected anyway for being sufficiently stupid for handing out a login and password to someone you knows doesn't mind her own business...

Try the Tron 2.0 game, quite entertaining indeed:-) Although in most of the game the destroyer bots are after you, the player, even when you're running around in your own desktop pc...
Just because people can knock on every door doesn't mean that every door is as insecure as the next. You can knock on every door in a neighborhood, but some will be better constructed and have more secure locks. Still, none prevent one from knocking.
Well, I could think of a *few* things...how about a gate to prevent access to the premises itself? (it's not like a little 4 port NAT/router/firewall is expensive these days). Especially for Joe User who doesn't need all sorts of ports open since he's only browsing and emailing anyway it should work fine, things get a little more complicated if you want to get into gaming, but then again, the kids will likely know which ports to reroute.
At some point the formula was "reinvigorated" by adding time travel to the 4 basic plots, "malfunctioning system", "alien takes over ship", "alien disease threatens ship", "fight the Klingons/Romulans/Borg".
You forgot plotline #5 "Ship stuck in anomaly with crew frantically fighting to get out till someone suggests reversing the polarity of something"
Technical support is one of those fields. There's a great need for more people in this field, although that has a lot to do with the high turnover. The problem is that currently we're hiring people with a high amount of technical skill, which usually means people who aren't very good with people.
Yup, and as someone who's worked both on the phone and as a supervisor/trainer in a technical helpdesk environment I can vouch for the fact that it's far easier to mold someone with good social skills into an acceptable tech than the other way around. There's just this teensy weensy problem of the folks on the phone refusing to take a woman seriously and in some cases outright demanding to talk to a tech, read guy. Must be those social barriers again.
Then again, these days I do phone support in a completely non-tech industry and people still seem to prefer to talk to a guy, or are at the very least a lot less inclined to harass me than they do my female colleagues(roughly 95%). Funny how folks pretty much assume that when they ask to talk to a manager it'll be a guy. Even funnier is that in this case they're right, almost all of the folks on the phone are women, yet all the suits are men...
Yah, because your average windows install as utilized by Joe User is going to survive the entire 3 or 4 years that computer is going to be in use.

Why would you want to hide the fact that you view pr0n?
Well, that's rather obvious, isn't it? If you're going to buy your significant other a pretty piece of jewelry you don't want your cache full of websites about jewelry that might spoil the surprise either, now would you? Oh, you mean people use pr0n for non-educational purposes...my bad;-)
not to mention that even though it may have cost an average of 100mill, it's still total crap most of the time. That is one point where I can't help but agree with the MPAA, we should stop downloading movies, it's a bloody waste of bandwidth anywayz...
the whole point of the article is that many feel he's been sufficiently scared to death by now and that it's overkill to drag him through litigation hell. That, and the bad PR it's giving Apple...
But are we really so narcissistic that we think something that looks and acts human is a good design?
In terms of walking? Well, the human body is actually capable of performing quite well when walking large distances at a reasonable speed. I'll leave the exercise of looking for comparisons between humans and (other) animals as an exercise to the reader.
Besides, bipedal robots need only be made really, really large and we'll have mechs. Who cares about efficiency if you can have mechs?:-)
i could see if it was a highschool. Mine, just recently you have to isgn out 3 diffrent places to go to the bathroom becase of vandels. If they had rfid, there would be alot less smokers in the bathroom. Some rich prick reports a "funny smell" (weed smoke) they look at the last few in there and bust them.
Yah, that makes a lot of sense. And anyone who happened to need to take a piss at the time gets suspended for being guilty by association?
heh. the first time i found myself in a small airplane the pilot next to me asked if I'd ever played Flight Simulator. When I confirmed this he pretty much pointed at the stick like "go ahead, have fun". Suffice to say that it took me less than 5 minutes to decide to take a turn around a mountain a wee bit short and managed to end up in a huge updraft, resulting in the pilot getting a wee bit nervous and me no longer holding the stick;-)
DS9 had characters that served a purpose, and they were generally better written than the Enterprise characters.
Not to mention that those characters actually evolved. Sisco turned cool. Quark slowly, very slowly, turned into a...well, a wuss really;-) The doctor was about as 2-dimensional as one can get but steadily evolved into a personality.
don't forget to mention that downloading movies and music is legal here;-) software isn't though, but a lot of major isp's heavily advertise about how fast you can download movies/music...i'm sure my fellow countrymen will know what i mean when i mention "7 seconds in tibet", beats the original imo:P

Offering cheaper prices to people who buy larger quantities of a competing product is wrong.
;-) So if I buy my Athlons in bulk i can get cheap Celerons? Point's valid tho, but the other way around.
Not to mention stupid

every time i follow that line of reasoning in kotor 2 my character falls to the Dark Side. people not expert be in all things computers.

oh, I did, a little later on. Pretty much a waste of time, no way the CPU could keep up with 2 of 'm anyway.
Well, yes, I do indeed. a 12Meg Voodoo 2 i hijacked from work for a while to complement my lowly S3 Virge...quite an improvement indeed :)

This is why its more important than ever to support smaller independent studios. Eventually it will just be EA and Activision and they will pwn joo...
You mean the same Activision that published Vampire Bloodlines?

unless it opens a back door allowing someone to sneak in...no, it's not a trojan. Doesn't mean one can't use the same trick to smuggle one in though.

Fine, I don't wish to use it anyway, big scary yellow thing. Please remove it.
2. You cannot dictate what any internet user puts on their own website
Try putting the text of the latest John Grisham novel on your site and see what happens.
Does that change Orbitz' ability to dictate? Unless they just became a lawfirm...
