Nope. They can make the caller id 555-555-5555 or any thing they want. It doesn't need to be valid number
I use the 555-0100 to 555-0199 block to call out to company cellphones. By saving something like "Sales" "Marketing!" "Cust Support!" "Server Room is 90F" as the name of each number we can know what the call is about.
Just just suck at playing Wii Retail. I got mine on black friday. I only had to kill a grandmother, and 2 college students and a little doggy too. The big N an't kid stuff.
I thought I would take a break. But with all the Corp Directors that are actually GMs and Devs poping up I guess I'm not going back. Eve is dead to me.
None of their 'hardcore' playerbase should still be playing and giving money to these people so they can build their private little playground with their old skool band of buddies. Enjoy rotting in your elitist club masquerading as a sandbox.
Maybe I go try WoW or some thing I though was shit back when I loved Eve.
You are right. You are more on topic than you know. It is a tad better now for a new player because they give new characters about a month of training when they first start, but the game is pure hell for a new player that doesn't know anyone. It doesn't have a learning cuve so much as it haves a leaning wall. Well actually the wall is actually tilted towards you with mines every few inches.
Eve is all about the groups being dependent on your comrades, which makes these alligations all the worse. Helping your friends, hurts their enemies. But their enemies are paying customers that have no way to match this cheating.
The latest seems to be that a leader of a big guild was a dev, a dev who was perfectly aware of ebaying and account sharing in blantant disregard for the EULA and all professionalism. CCP has also banned all of the whistleblowers accounts for his actions outside of the game. Posts are being censored within minutes on the official forum. The responce is pityful. There is no confirm / deny if anything happened. It seems to be 'oh they found out who was who. Time to delete them and roll some more alt characters lol.' You know I don't even want blood, I just want transparency.
I do not pay $30 a month for two accounts for the Devs to play butt buddy and give their friends free shit//advantages, so that they use that attack me. One of my accounts just expired and it seems I have about 12 more days left on my main.
For three years when I was still in school I worked 2nd shift the help desk in the main lab on campus.

Students are not generally as bad but... There was this Administrator of Justice Major who had her floppy die on her. This happens a lot so I keep a bunch of recovery tools on my flash drive, and I manage to get (most of) the files off of it and print what she needed. I gave her back the floppie and told her of the wonders of USB drives and to always keep backups of things.
Then 2 days later and her floppy is dead again. She storms out of the lab, calls her boyfriend, and starts crying. About a half an hour later she wanders back. It took me all of 40 seconds to grab a new floppy and dump everything that I was still on my flash drive from 2 days prior.
But here comes the best part... She was using the _same_ floppy as 2 days before!
I took it from her, gave her the new one from the lost pile, and told her to floppies are so fragile that even cell phone radiation can mess with them.

Next one is another student. His professor wanted a powerpoint presentation to be turned on via a CDr.
Alight not problem, I tell him to login, but he doesn't remember his password. This is understandable as he never changed his original password which tends to be very hard to remember. So I run him through the signature station to get his password again and then he logs in. I tell him to save the presentation to desktop and stick the CD-R in. He sticks the cd in upside down. I flip it over and notice that there is something written and crossed off in felt tip marker. Low and behold the cd is not blank. No problem there we can just add the.ppt to it....
I notice the name of the CD. It is NEWPORN. Tabbing back to the cd window I see directories such as/Piss/. Needless to say this takes me aback a bit. I was so tempted to just burn the powerpoint and send him on his merry way to turn it in to his teacher, but my professionalism actually kicked in for once and I told him why it might not be such a good idea to turn this in.
He was confused at all of this. Apparently Staples now sells brand new CD-Rs that have been written on with felt tip makers and have porn preinstalled on them. Who could have known. I didn't press the issue as the lab was packed at the time and I was fighting off laughter. I spotted him a CDr and sent him on his way. He gave me a buck for the new CD-r and let me keep the porn filled one...

Penn State President Graham Spanier and Recording Industry Association of America President Cary Sherman are co-chairs of a joint industry and university committee that is scrutinizing the possibility of putting legal music services on campus HOOOO HOOOO! GO PENN STATE! ... RIAA!!! HISSSSK! GO Penn... RIAA!!! HISSSSSSSSSSK! ... Go.. *so very confused*:(
I want to know about all the people living off campus. Some people I know don't even have computers of their own and do all their work on campus. So they get to pay for music for other people? Along with me, as i only have OC Remix and independent artist mp3's and ogg's on my box?
A University spokesman said he did not think the ($160) fee would be raised as a result of this arrangement. So they are over charging us as it is? Hell the PIIs in the lab I moniter sure need to be replaced, as well as with all those crappy hubs they have running the dorms.
Back in my Freshman year I had to take an Engineering Seminar at my university (as with all the Engineering Majors.) My teacher was a department head of Engineering and he literally got 4-5 pieces of mail/email a day from Quack theorists. Ranging form mumblings about aliens and the moon to the decay rates of photons. Most of the bad Science could be shot down by noting the logical fallacies that were oh so rampant.
He also brought in a clipping once of an advertisement (From Parade Magazine or was that Popular Mechanics/Science) that promised to be selling an device that could derive energy by burning water. It used a jumble of big words like Hydrogen and Oxygen. That would be nice to get free energy by exploiting the energy taking conversion from water to Hydrogen Peroxide. Of course things like that are money seeking monkeys, while the quacks tend to just be insane.
While the some materials of the shuttle may be toxic, any of the little fuel carried on re-entry should have burnt up. I might be wrong but I think they may be saying that to stop people from collecting pieces to keep and any shit like this SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA DEBRIS! (Even though that one is obviously fake)
anyway Red Fuming Nitric Acid is nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) and Hydrazine is monomethyl hydrazine (MMH)
Hypergolic propellants are fuels and oxidizers which ignite on contact with each other and need no ignition source. This easy start and restart capability makes them attractive for both manned and unmanned spacecraft maneuvering systems. Another plus is their storability -- they do not have the extreme temperature requirements of cryogenics.
The fuel is monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) and the oxidizer is nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4).
Hydrazine is a clear, nitrogen/hydrogen compound with a "fishy" smell. It is similar to ammonia. Nitrogen tetroxide is a reddish fluid. It has a pungent, sweetish smell. Both fluids are highly toxic, and are handled under the most stringent safety conditions. Hypergolic propellants are used in the core liquid propellant stages of the Titan family of launch vehicles, and on the second stage of the Delta.
The Space Shuttle orbiter uses hypergols in its Orbital Maneuvering Subsystem (OMS) for orbital insertion, major orbital maneuvers and deorbit. The Reaction Control System (RCS) uses hypergols for attitude control.
The efficiency of the MMH/N2O4 combination in the Space Shuttle orbiter ranges from 260 to 280 seconds in the RCS, to 313 seconds in the OMS. The higher efficiency of the OMS system is attributed to higher expansion ratios in the nozzles and higher pressures in the combustion chambers.
I love how various anime fans I know go running around using the words like 'bakas' (hurray for pluralizing Japanese words \o/) in the middle of English sentences, squealing at the site of pockey, and insisting that you tack -chan at the end of their names.

Ah that guide was great fun back in high school. How did that guy running for president get flyers in the faculty bulleting board? Simple says I, Ninjas! The MIT guide mentions the file down master key trick, that was 1991.
With this new article I may have to try again, the last time I tried to do something with the a master key at my university I ended up matching the right pattern for the key that pulled the cylinder (used to change the lock). It was not fun to explain why my dorm lock had 'magically' come out of my door to the Office of the Physical Plant. Lesson learned don't pick your own nose if it is exposed, err locks I mean locks.
Late last month I got an tech susport question about this, the dude even provided a picture of the pop up (which showed his ip) A quick google search, a request in an irc channel, and about 200 popups later. I finally replied with this.
