When I went there, I saw signups for paid file planet memberships, and free basic memberships which is what I used. They didn't ask for more then an e-mail address (and I happily gave them an @spamgourmet.net address) and a username/password.
Blizzard asked me for more information then gamespy did and I gave it to them (thoough still with a spamgourmet e-mail address).
I'd give exact links, but fileplanet seems to have failed their own stres-test and is now inaccessible.
You must not be looking in the right place. I signed up, didn't even give gamespy my name much less my credit card number and downloaded all 2.2GB of WoW goodness. I installed it, but the stress test isn't up and running for a few more days still.
It still IS free, you just have to sign up for the free fileplanet registration, then wait on one of their retarded 'download queues', but thats still free.
Look at the damn pictures of the Womens and Mens sabre. There wasn't a weapon in sight.
Epee... well, epee hasn't been shown on tv (or at least not that I've seen) but there were no wires outside the uniform for any sabre matches (mens individual, womens individual, mens team)
Not completely wireless but nothing connecting the fencers to a normal fencing 'reel'. Just the body cord connecting the sabre, the lame, the mask, and the wireless gear.
Just like 'wireless' internet needs wires somewhere (the base station usually) this is still considered wireless fencing.
Actually other then the fact that the fencing equipment in the olympics is wireless, there isn't much new to the electronic sensors. Fencing was one of the first sports to benefit from electronics due to the extreme speed of the action (sabre fencing is the fastest martial art in the world).
Even with the sensors, an extremely skilled judge (called a director in fencing) is required to determine which competitor is considered the agressor and has 'right-of-way' to see who gets the point.
On a side note, as a long time fencer actually getting to watch the sport in the olympics for the first time I realised one thing. It is a really bad spectator sport if you do not know the sport yourself. I watched the events on tv with family and friends and unless they showed a slow motion replay, people were just at a loss as to what happened (unless they were fencers themselves).
Drawing blood in fencing is rare, but the way it happened in the above linked match is about the only way it will happen. Two over agressive fencers clash blades (or blade to mask), and one blade snaps. The point where the blade snaps can be somewhat sharp though in this day and age it won't do serious damage.
In an olympics in the early 20th century, a fencer was killed when a blade broke, and the remaining part of the blade went through the mask and into the opponents head.
Now though, the only thing that happens much is the occasional knee injury (like I had).
Its already started in limited ways. Dell and other companies that originally moved their support offshore have moved their corporate/government/education etc. support back to the US. This was due to wide spread disgust with the level of support from the overseas tech people (both in tech knowledge and in communication).
Whether the average American consumer will continue to deal with it is a different question though.
I have about 50 old nes games sitting in my attic. Most or all don't work anymore, and the NES certainly doesn't work.
What did I do? By one of those Flash memory GBA cartridges with a USB link.
I can fit about 35 NES games on one GBA sized cartridge and be able to save at any point during the game. I wouldn't even think of buying these games for $20 a pop.
They have the technology. Release like 20 games a cartridge and charge $50 for them.
More then once in my computer I have either bent/pushed in/broke a pin on an IDE hard drive/cd drive.
I just built myself a new computer, so I'm glad I got Serial ATA hard drives. They are so much easier to plug/unplug. I just wish my DVD Burner was Serial ATA as well.
That is the WHOLE point. They are not beholden to the political powers, they do not have to campaign, fundraise, watch polls, etc.
They do (almost universally) what they believe is right, not what will make them popular. You may not agree with a federal/supreme judge's interpretations of course, but that is our right.
Though that was the original meaning of the word, carpet bagger has long been used to refer to someone who previously had little ties to a state/city/region/etc and moved there shortly before an election to run there.
Most famous recent example: Hillary Clinton - a Chicago native, who moved to Arkansas, to Washington, and then out of the blue moved to NYC to run (successfully) for US Senate.
How can you compare bind and sendmail configuration with a straight face?!? Bind is SO much easier to setup then people say, MUCH more so then sendmail.
If you think they are on the same level, you didn't even bother reading anything about either.
Nor does this bug happen for EVERY dual boot installation of Fedora Core 2 either. It is a small percentage of cases (too small to ignore, true), so people shouldn't think that every time you try to dual boot with FC2 you're going to bork your partition table.
I run a medium size mail server (>10000 users). My problem isn't the 'your message contained a virus messages'. I can train spam filters to put those in the bit bucket.
Its the "Your receipient doesn't exist" messages that are also noise from the viruses that are the problems. I can't filter those without filtering out legitimate undeliverable messages.
I wish more mail servers would do what we do. Check for viruses. If there is a virus discard. THEN check to see if the recipient exists. If you check for the recipient first, you have to bounce the message back if the recipient doesn't exist.
Why do so many people think Mythbusters is the final say on science? It is a TV Show people. They tried it. It didn't happen. That doesn't mean it CAN'T happen. THey didn't scientifically prove ANYTHING, they just didn't get it to occur which showed it to be unlikely.
I do remember last week when I saw the gas station closed with the fire trucks all around it (I live in New Paltz) and was like WTF but I do believe it was the cell phone that did it.

a company centered in Denmark came here and started selling marijuana even if online, through an american domain
Anyone know where I can find this hypothetical domain for... research purposes?

Horizons had some nice ideas but the implementation was horrible. The game felt incredibly lifeless and boring.
There were no equipment drops as far as I was aware. Only items that could be used by crafters to create equipment.
The combat was extremely boring and had little to keep anyone interested.
The only interesting things was the extensive crafting system but it wasn't enough to keep this game from dying a slow death.

A lot of what he's saying is that in the current market it would be almost impossible for someone to do what he did.
No, that was a kernel issue that could have (and did) effect other distros too.
Stop blaming everything on fedora!
Since Jeopardy and Wheel are syndicated, it could just be that way in your local market.
Then again, I am in New York which will definately go Kerry so they don't bother wasting their money (either side) on ads here.

Not likely. There are a LOT of people (especially in Higher Ed Institutions) who use Mail Man as a Majordomo replacement and love it.

Yes, but since it is in the constitution it CANNOT be altered significantly (as this proposed bill does) WITHOUT a constitutional amendment.
The recycling program was temporarily suspended (not long after 9/11 when the budget was in its worst shape).
They phased back in (every six months or so):
plastic & metal
newspaper
and glass (brought back about six months ago)
Note that they lump Sys Admins and computer support people in the same group.
That may account for the skewed numbers.
