Both organizations wised up to it -- people were dumping electronics that may or may not have worked on volunteer workers who don't know technology enough to figure it out. They then were saddled with the cost of getting rid of it.
Neither organization will take computer equipment or anything but the most basic of electronics anymore.
Most cities have recycling days where you can get rid of stuff at zero or near zero cost.
I Craigslist anything of value to try to get a few bucks. Anything with no value I put up for free on Craigslist (there are whackos on there who will take damn near anything just because its free!).
Yes, but if you say away they may then suspect that you are, in fact, an elite black hat hacker who is staying away precisely to draw suspicion away from yourself, so in fact a real black hat hacker should, in fact, be there or they will immediately be suspected of being a real black hat hacker.
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
Well I'm guessing this is probably a case more where people are trying (poorly) to be funny, but its probably appropriate on a Sunday to be discussing groups of people who get together in a room to discuss their believed truth in entirely irrational things with some seriousness.
I suspect there may be a lot of that going on today.
Fly a plane. Get shot at. Drop a bomb. Get shot at some more. Land plane. Eat dinner with grubby sweaty guys. Dodge mortar attacks. Crawl into bed dodging sand fleas.
or
Fly a plane by remote. Drop a bomb. See results. Take a break, talk about last night's game. Fly some more. Hit Taco Bell for lunch. Fly some more, drop another bomb. See the results. Grab some coffee. Stop at Petco to get cat food on the way home. Order in chinese, watch How's It Made while you're eating. Surf the net, crawl into bed.
No, it doesn't..NET DLLs are not loaded using normal Windows entry points (although there are ways to make that work). When loaded into a process hosting the runtime, they are entirely isolated from the host process except for entry points the host process chooses to expose.
And for what its worth, even ActiveX controls loaded into IE run in a sandbox these days, although they do have greater system access than a.NET DLL does.
About 6000 people die in the US every day, day in and day out. Some days are higher, some are lower.
Think about that when looking at 9/11 and considering what the fallout of it has done to this country.
From the standpoint of someone who knows a couple people who lost their lives that day, and has direct connections with people who lost loved ones that day, I will still stand here and say very rarely a day doesn't go by when it doesn't piss me off how people have used the events of that day to control populations and steal from the American people for an event that represented barely a 5% blip in US deaths that week.
How many people who died that day do you think would believe the deaths of several other Americans and perhaps a *hundred* Iraqis was worth their life? How many people that day would think the tattered wreck of our global standing and economy were worth it for vengence?
Get off your fucking high horse. Our country could use a giant dose of taking it lightly and maybe taking real things that are happening seriously for a change.
No offense, although I'll probably be moderated as a troll for this, but you're just an idiot, plain and simple.
It doesn't take a triple digit IQ to know the phone didn't have SSH and a terminal, so either you're trolling or really are an idiot if you bought the phone knowing that only to turn around and complain about it.
Blackberry also passes all e-mail and everything else through their servers. Again, troll or idiot.
So, if I tell him the sun MIGHT not come up tomorrow, will he not bother going to work? After all, I can't prove that the sun isn't coming up tomorrow - there's always some chance it won't.
Mind if I quote you if my boss asks where I am tomorrow?
Actually I'd like to think we don't just focus on ignorance when it rears its head as theism, but rather smugly mock all ignorance even if not waving the banner of faith.
After all SCO isn't claiming to be on a mission from some deity and we can mock them for irrational thinking as well.
No, Hollywood would've made Mary a down and out prostitute who was claiming she was a virgin to her parents who spent time with a wealthy gentleman who acquired fiefdoms and then took them apart to sell for a profit. That gentleman would eventually fall in love and pull up outside her mud hut on a stretch camel and take her away to live happily ever after.
Jesus would've just been the immigrant landscaper or something and they would've expected us to ignore the strangeness of needing a landscaper in a desert.
The fact that moderators on here moderated your post "Interesting" and not the "Funny" it was clearly intended may be the most frightening thing I've seen in recent memory on Slashdot.
Unless its subtle additional humor, in which case jolly good show moderators!
Put the word "cloud" in your business plan and the VCs will definitely listen to you these days.
I won't say its a bubble, but its definitely the hot trend of the last few months. A ton of companies have been funded this year dealing with "cloud computing" and we'll be seeing a lot of product and marketing announcements over the next 12 months about it... and most of them will make no sense (like this...)
If they build a Linux device that works as well as the iPod touch (equally durable hardware, equally nice touch screen, equally polished user experience) then that's great.
Anything less and it suggests they don't really understand the market and will produce a device that will end up with no user interest beyond a brief blip of Linux enthusiasts (think Chumby, or a bunch of other tablets over the years)
Make a Linux based one with a glass screen and multi-touch that has that level of polish, and that level of simplicity and people will be interested.
Give them plain ol' Firefox on a lousy LCD with a resistive touch screen and it'll have the same success every other internet tablet has had... ie, it'll end up on TigerDirect at 80% off.
More power to them, but they need to scrap their list of requirements and put one thing at the very top: usability. If it doesn't have the UX and physical usability of an iPod Touch (where my grandmother could figure it out), its missed the boat. If the software is getting less than 95% of the attention, then they've missed the boat.
Have you ever seen a 70mm print of Lawrence of Arabia? Its an entirely different experience from watching it at home. You get a whole different view of the movie, the way it was intended to be seen.
Suggesting otherwise is like suggesting that looking at the Sistine Chapel on a webpage is no different than seeing it in person. Its just ridiculous. You see the image, but not the detail.

Anything leftover goes to the town recycling day.
Just get the US government to reprint their passports with them wearing the breathing masks.
Then it'll be okay.

Yeah I think I could deal with it.
I can vouch for this.
I mean, um, wait. Um.
Nevermind.

Yeah because there's nothing massively parallel about biological intelligence...

I'm not entirely convinced the project is supposed to actually make sense.
Like a lot of MIT hacks, this strikes me as more of a "because we can" than a "because we should".
Like a Warcart.
That 3rd photo looks an awful lot like a stargate.
I'm assuming its a shot facing downwards, thus the pool of water or whatever that is, but it just looks cool.

And there was no secrets about Mobile Me.
So which is it? Troll or idiot?
Don't forget: we blame you for not getting your dollar to fall in value along with ours.
Now lap dances in Montreal are expensive.
I shudder to think of what 8K porn frames would be like.
Some things are just best left blurry.
Per byte its probably still a lot cheaper than using SMS.

I want a 9" iPod touch.
