1. Create new PayPal account 2. Put $10 into it 3. Wait for a PayPal phisishing email (I get a couple a week) 4. Fill in the new PayPal details 5. Wait for the $10 to disappear 6. Report the phishers 7. Profit!
Sorry, a few more steps that the usual profit posts, but at least this one has a better chance of making it!
Well, almost. I remember one episode when an alarm went off in Thunderbird 2 because someone took a picture of it. They then chased down the photographer and took the film. Using their technology you don't have to alter the camera and it works with film or digital. Of course you have to chase down and kill the photographer afterwards but at least you know if a picture has been taken of you!
You have to store the data that you collect somewhere. Listening points could be set up all over the world. "Hmmm, how do we get the data back to our data store?" "I know! We could send it over the Internet." [Internet collapses] "Oops, my bad."
This is just what we need to go with all the ridiculous packaging that is added to almost everything that we buy nowadays. However, this coffee idea goes one better, we get extra chemicals to toss into the land fill as well. When will people wake up to the idea that all this "fast food" comes at a price (in addition to the price tag).
The only real use I can see for it is when hiking or as part of an emergency kit.
The only thing that I associate with WolfGang Puck's name is his crappy bake-at-home pizzas. I make my own pizzas at home, I'll carry on making my own coffee too.
As long as it can be heard (or seen), it can be re-recoreded at near identical quality.
Not true. Take a look at
Macrovision: "Macrovision copy protection does not affect video quality when content is viewed, but prevents or degrades copies made on DVD, D-VHS and VCR recorders." I think it plays with the luminence settings that are too subtle for the television to detect but plays havoc with a recorder.
I have installed the upgrade and all appears to be ok. However, when trying to read the hi-res Firefox ad (mentioned in a recent/. article) at http://www.mozilla.org/press/nytimes-firefox-final.pdf my preview program just consumes tons of memory and hangs. I have no idea whether it would have worked before the upgrade. Perhaps someone could try it out?
At least it is getting the word out. It does look good but looking at the low-res copy in the link, it is not immediately apparant that it is free. I know that it mentions open source but most people will have no idea what that means.
I tried to look at the high-res pdf but last night's upgrade to Mac OSX may have screwed my pdf viewer:-(
You haven't followed the links (well, this is Slashdot).
When you take into account the ink and paper cost, it is often cheaper to get prints made in the high street, or using online services
From the article "According to PC Pro, producing a print 8x10in on an Epson R800 printer using top quality paper costs £1.87. At Jessops the same image would cost £2.50 and at Snappy Snaps £9.99. A 10x7in snap at Boots would cost £4.99."
The quality of real prints on proper paper (eg. Fuji Crystal Archive) is hard to beat at home.
" Mr Ross said that a new generation of printers produced images with brighter colours and that were less likely to fade than many High Street developers or even some professional wedding photographers."
It looks good to me. The future is bright and rosy!
I've always been very happy with domainpeople. In light of the above I have just checked my domains (I can't remember when I last logged in there) and they are all marked as locked.
I can now go on vacation without loosing sleep, thanks domainpeople!
Really, this is all about forcing people to put real data into their domain registration records. Meanwhile, I think that I'll knock up a Perl script to run through my dictionary and apply for all the good domain names; I'm bound to get some!
The article is a bit sketchy, he actually took over 5 Million Australian dollars from scamees including 571,302 Australian dollars from a Saudi sheik.
The latter article make for interesting reading.

Destroying government property is rarely a good idea :p
but not if you have take reasonable steps to preserve it!
Me: Don't plug that device into my phone officer. I use that port to power my 100V hair dryer from my phone.
Cop: Yeah, right! That's the first time I've heard that one - Today!
plugs in phone
Cellebrite gives out smoke and catches fire
Me: I warned you!
Think of a powerbook with one of these in it!
The slashdot way to make money:

7. Profit!

Isn't this precisely what ink jet manufactures do? Sell the machinery below cost and make money later on the ink. Very American!
I wonder what the consequences would be if SCO actually won the case?
He needs to do more things like the incredible Star Wars: Revelations
