For example, how much spam does the Whitehouse get?
Well, they did say person, not organization or account, as I'm sure uce@ftc.gov has to be high on the list, and possibly the guy who owns fuck@off.com...
I wrote up a review of the domain registrars I've been with. I liked RegisterFly the best because they seem to have the most bang for the buck and offer 99 cents WHOIS protection. If you're looking for 24x7 phone support, however, you'd probably want to go with GoDaddy, Register.com, or NetSOL. RegisterFly is an eNom reseller, and to date, I've had good experience with eNom. I noticed NameCheap, another eNom reseller, currently offers WHOIS protection for free, although it may be a limited time offer.
From the article: "A digital TV broadcast can be easily grabbed and saved to disk as a perfect copy of the original, which alarms the studios that produce the shows."
Yum, can I record a butchered version of Top Gun laden with commercials and blank out curse words? At least it will be in perfect quality so I can feel the full effect of how Dawn takes grease out of my way.
They completely ignored me for the half hour I spent walking around the audio department (and they were NOT busy - it was Friday morning right after they opened)
Did you actually ASK for help? Maybe they're finally getting the hint that most of us don't want to be bothered until we ask for help. I don't think I'm alone in that desire.
cPanel is by far the most popular, but my favorite is Plesk (available for both Windows and Linux). I think it provides the most pleasant experience for the end user. It's not cheap, though. If you're looking for cheaper, you might consider DirectAdmin. Cheers.
After the elections are over, should the politics section stay or go?
It should stay in the archive and remain Google-accessible, but I would discourage posting articles to it until the next election (maybe some big newsmakers can still be allowed).
Well, looking at the replies, nobody agrees with Parker and Stone. I do, however. I think every citizen who is not a felon should have the right to vote, however, I don't think you should exercise that vote if you are uninformed. I don't care if you vote for the same guy I like, just take the time to read up on some of the issues and where the candidates stand. It's not that hard and helps encourage national well-being.

ALL pieces of hardware are known to stop working for some amount of people. That's why people get WARRANTIES. The most common reason for things to stop working is due to misuse... e.g. putting it on the carpet so it collects dust.
I'd be careful, otherwise Best Buy might sue your ass for infringing on their copyright by posting excerpts from their employee handbook. Aren't you supposed to be dusting shelves, or are you on your lunch break?
Banky Edwards: Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, OK? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four people, OK? Are you following? Holden: Yeah. Banky Edwards: Good. Over here, we have a mild-mannered, restrained, God-fearing Darl McBride holding the stolen SVR4 code. Down here, we have an SCO-hating, angry as fuck, full of rage, frenetic IBM lawyer. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? Holden: What is this supposed to prove? Banky Edwards: No, I'm serious. This is a serious exercise. It's like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? The mild-mannered Darl, the angry IBM lawyer, Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny? Holden: The angry IBM lawyer. Banky Edwards: Good. Why? Holden: I don't know. Banky Edwards: Because the other three are figments of your fucking imagination!
Ugh they even have an IE icon on the desktop of one of their screenshots, as far as I know it's not even legal to run IE on Gnu/Linux! & why would you want to?
IIRC, they have CrossOver Office installed. You can go into the wizard thing and have it install Internet Explorer for you. Before it does, it will ask you to provide a legal copy of Windows to get the files from. It's a pretty slick setup. Might be nice in an office setting, which is what it's marketed towards anyway.
Makes perfect sense to me. Once you've made use of tabbed browsing for surfing porn, you can never go back. Ctrl+Click, Click, Click. Ctrl+Click, Click, Click, Click... I guess that's why my control key is sticking...
How about polygamy? A marriage has been traditionally defined as being between one man and one woman. You want to change that to fit the times to be between two people of the same sex. What happens when polygamists want to change the definition to include them as well?
I think there is a difference. In my opinion (and I think this is where we differ), a person does not choose to be homosexual. However, having multiple wives is a conscious choice, and rules against it do not discriminate. Suggesting that a person's sexual orientation should dictate what type of social benefits they should be "priveleged" to doesn't sound right to me.
I don't consider myself a liberal, but I do think the rules, whatever they are, should not be discriminatory.
3. Gay marriage: This also comes down to definition, but has the side-effect of affecting my wallet so it matters to me. If a judge in MA says that gay marriage is legal, then 600-some benefits will apply to that couple nationwide. An example of those benefits is insurance for married couples. The addition of scores of individuals to an insurance carrier based solely on gay marriage will raise insurance premiums and thus affect my wallet. I have no problem with civil unions, a gay couple has a marriage ceremony, or if they refer to themselves as married. I have a problem when something that I don't agree with ends up affecting my checking account balance.
So you're saying an individual's sexual orientation should dictate what rights that others are entitled to? That makes them second-class citizens. Perhaps we should disallow blacks from getting marrital benefits, since that affects your pocket book as well (assuming you're not black - but you understand what I mean). I know, I know, you think being gay is a choice and a person is not born that way like skin color. I very much disagree.
But what I wanted to say was this: Religion dictates a moral standard. If our President feels obligated to live within a moral standard of "not lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, etc", because of his religion, then so much the better. Religion gives a person focus, and if it helps keep a politician on a more honorable path, so much the better.
Yes, and this side effect of religion is admirable. However, I think most of us non-believers have a problem when they start pushing their faith-based values onto us like anti-abortion, prayer in school, banning gay marriage, etc. If it was just about having a high moral standard for yourself, most of us wouldn't care. But please don't tell us how to live a moral life - we can make up our own minds.
Yeah, I agree. Disallowing Outlook is clearly a move to encourage people to upgrade. They have that right, but if I'm going to pay for e-mail, I'm going to pay for a qualityservice.
Amazingly, 5.4% for Bush is considered bad, 5.5% for Clinton is considered good.
How can you even compare the two? Remember what jobs were like during the Clinton administration? Are they the same quality now? Are they even close? I'd like to get a newspaper from the late nineties and a newspaper from today and look at the classifieds. I think it would be an interesting comparison.
Yep, we're looking for a house right now, and we're only considering places that have some sort of broudband available (Cable or DSL is fine, both is better but not necessary). We're also interested in good schools for our future kids. Why can't you have both? In my area, partially because there has been a huge housing boom, there are lots of places that offer broadband, good school, a park nearby, and a decent neighborhood, and a lot of them aren't in the middle of the city either. Hell, even the new suburbs and development areas have cable, so you don't necessarily have to "settle". Yes, schools are important to use, but a house without broadband available is essentially useless to us. I'm a developer, and keeping up with the latest trends on my free time would be much more frustrating and unproductive with dialup. Also, as you said, we like using the Internet to lookup movies, TV guide, recipes, maps, we read a lot of news and politics, etc. Why are you a "junkie" if you use the Internet a lot for such things, but not if you read the local newspaper cover-to-cover every day?
I'll admit I spend a lot of time on the 'net, but I also learn a lot too. I don't spend it playing online games, I'm usually after the tech and current events articles (with the occasional Fark for comic relief, which in itself is relaxing). I dare to say without the Internet I would be a lot less informed because the Internet is on demand. Unfamiliar with a term? I may or may not be motivated to find it in a paper dictionary. However, online, I always look up words I'm unfamiliar with. See something on the Discovery Channel I don't understand. It's only a Google search away. I may or may not be motivated to look the same thing up in an encyclopedia, and even if I was, I might not get the diverse results I can get from Google (which I suppose can be both good and bad, but I look at it as good). I'd probably read the newspaper a lot more, but the Internet gives me everything the newspaper has plus more (ie, if I'm looking to escape the American slant, I can hop on to an overseas newspaper and see what their opinion is of the latest American catastrophe).
Ok, I probably sound lazy, but I like to think of it as efficient;)
