You may be in luck if the company uses a domain with a TLD mandated by ICANN (COM, NET, ORG, BIZ, INFO, etc.).
With the new WDRP (Whois Data Reminder Policy) from ICANN, domain registrars are obligated to make sure their customers provide valid whois data for their domains. If they don't the domain can be pulled.
As for carorcar.com, the whois data shows an owner in China, but with a US country code and zipcode (I think), and a phone number (+01.3212353319) in Brevard County, Florida. Heck, I can even see it's listed with a R. Young in Orlando.
If you can convince their registrar that this is bogus, he might get the domain shut down.
What they also don't seem to mention is that you can't set the price of your bandwidth. They do that for you.
But, in relation to the parent comment, It'll only be a matter of time before this is ported to Linux, and someone gets it installed on those configurable, cheapo LinkSYS routers.
MacCentral is reporting that "pBop's resemblance to the iPod was unmistakable, especially when the product first launched: It was originally called pPod, and featured an interface that was practically identical to third-generation iPods."
it was so similar, in fact, that Apple asked them to make some changes, including the name.
Starbrite has "cooperated fully to address Apple's concerns" but, if you ask me, it is still pretty much a rip off of the iPod interface (GUI and physical). Isn't this kind of thing legally protectable?
Babies eyes don't settle down to their final colour until sometime bewteen 6 and 12 months (source, another).
So, their irises do change, certainly in colour. There aren't many 6-12 month-old terrorists running around, so maybe that's not an issue. But what Lockridge said is clearly wrong.
Well, the presence of a magnetic field induces a current (electromagnetic wave), and vice-versa... so I'd say you are talking about the same thing, pretty much.
Or have a forgotten all of my high-school physics?
. So the only effect on the customer at all is the possibility of Wal-Mart dropping prices even more as their inventory process becomes more streamlined.... which will lure even more consumers away from mom and pop stores like Prada!
Until the 1990s, when the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing added new security measures such as a watermark and a security thread, U.S. banknotes had changed little for decades. Federal officials told the HP team they wanted to keep it that way.
That precluded any major changes to the currency itself, including techniques used by some other currencies. The Euro, for example, contains fluorescent fibers and foil features, which cannot easily be reproduced by conventional copiers or printers.
So, the US government is too lazy to fix their "broken" currency? Instead, they compel private companies to fix their problem for them.

Actually, people that don't wash their hands after taking a shit and later touch a keyboard might as well pick their asses and touch the keyboard.
Assuming they wipe their asses.
Maybe this is what's stalling Duke Nukem Forever.
Well, for one thing, they are needed every year to shovel Toronto's snow.
Extruded doesn't mean it has to be curved.
There is even a few animations of it doing a straight wall.

I also got the shivers from this part:
...
I got a 400W power supply that I spray-painted black
That's just asking for trouble, I think. Unless he used some heat-resistant paint, this machine is going to make some nasty fumes.
What about non-english speakers who use neither "cell" nor "mobile"?
... you insensitive clods!)

Even better: use his internet connection, but resell it to your other neighbours!

Unsafe, and illegal.
At least here in Canada.
And it will get itself in and out of the ball ... how exactly?
I also imagine that the "guts" inside one of these tumbleweed balls isn't as sophisticated as a rover.
If that is case, I must be a friggin' genius!
You are someone who actually did imagine a beowulf cluster of those!
Around here, that must make you a god!
Your argument is made moot by the fact that AAC is an open format. It's only the DRM portion that's "closed".
I already rip my CDs to AAC format instead of MP3 for the higher quality/smaller filesize. So why would I need OGG?
I don't see why one of them hasn't yet filed a lawsuit alleging discrimination.
we might as well accept our clippy enhanced future now
I, for one, welcome our clippy overlords.

Man walks into liquor store and heads for the Italian section. Clerk in robe comes over.
Clerk: These are not the wines you're looking for.
Man: These are not the wines I'm looking for?
Clerk: (offering Lucas Wine bottle) This is a much better purchase.
Man: This is a much better purchase!
Clerk: Move along.
Math lesson:
... which is < 1
prime = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04
But thanks for the links to the historical data.
No one has yet posted a modified version of the goatscx photo that takes advantage of this security "hole".
