With all the bitching and moaning going on about electronic voting systems, one would think that this would have been the first idea to mind, but, apparently, the average citizen can only complain and deliver shit for alternate ideas. This is fantastic that someone has organized this into a feasible possibility to demonstrate to the public. With a few public showings, this might even break into the mainstream voting arena, and, while I don't believe it will assauge all worries that people have, it should help with most, and the others will be ironed out eventually.
Usually you try to steal from the blind people, not the other way around.

Are you a troll or do you just keep up much?
The use of infected systems for spam, web mirrors, traffic laundering, and bases for attacks on others systems has been commonplace for quite some time now not even mentioning the rampant spyware and ad placements these worms make possible.
I'm sure you know by now that your biggest mistake was allowing him to search the car. NEVER give permission to search anywhere or anything including your person. If the search is legal, no big deal, but, if you verbally protest to the search, either the cop will give up or he will go ahead and search, the results of which would be thrown out of any court. Plus, illegal searches are just asking for a lawsuit.
The GPL has done a great job of spreading opensource and allowing the code to stay free. The problem comes in when fanatics such as those at the FSF start critizing other licenses for not forcing all OS programmers to keep their code open for all time (aka copylefted). There are many programmers that enjoy giving to the world without needing anything in return such as those that release software under the BSD license.
The GPL does in effect take away the freedom of the programmers that modify code released under the GPL because it ensures that they will only re-release it under the GPL and not any other license, and when this idea is taken to extremes as people like RMS and ESR tend to, it creates unnecessary conflict in the opensource community.
As much as I hate to say it, the answer to this is tolerance. The OS community needs to realize that not everyone thinks that all code should be free and that if someone wants to allow others to profit off of their code then they should be allowed to and not criticized for it such as Sun or Apache are. Times like this are when I realize the communist nature of the FSF and understand why so many corporations are driven away.
I feel really bad for all you Irish. My mother lived there for about 3-4 years, and she would always complain about the per minute billing of the phone companies over there (in the US we have free local on our landlines). I always hated visiting her because of this. BTW, this was in Dungarvan, County Waterford.
Could someone explain the reasons the telcos in Ireland and many other countries give to justify pay-per-minute local calls?
For those using windows, asf streams can be recorded using wmrecorder. This is probably the easiest method of doing it. The demo only allows two minutes of recording per session.
Modded up as Funny, but more appropriate would be (Score:5, Sad and Depressing). Having great charachters left out and the one's left in watered down to shadows of their former selves ruined my enjoyment of the movies. Even as great as the movies were, the changes to the stories and the horrible treatment of the major charachters kept me from having even a little bit of fun. I might be over-reacting, but I think Tolkien would be disappointed too.
As long as it's not blatant "how do you like that" racism, a subtle insertion of race towards the end of a story does do a lot for prompting thought without making the story about race. Too often author's attempts to bring equality to a story fail through horrible attempts to make people acknowledge that the author likes [insert race here] just as much as the next politically correct person. These clumsy attempts at pushing an agenda in a novel more often than not fail and leave a bad taste in the reader's mouth.
Unless the race of the charachter plays a needed role in the story, race should be left to the reader's imagination most of the time.

Your argument might hold more firm if they had actually kept to the book instead of butchering the storyline. I don't care much for movies about cowardly men that constantly second guess their own actions.
IIRC, AAC is lossless, meaning that any wav files extracted from the AAC files should be acoustically equivilant to the original files. This would not lead to the creation of artifacts commonly caused by re-encoding lossy codecs.
I hate to tell you this, but New Orleans is being slowly swallowed by the Gulf, and San Fran, I hear, is going to fall into the ocean. You might want to find some other American cities to appreciate.
Both solutions given are priced per the devices lifetime as opposed to per day. I would say that makes the suggestions quite a bit cheaper unless you buy that cheap shit "Made in China".
There seem to be many similar problems in this article.
A file server would be better off without a floppy or dvd drives. A cdrom drive would suffice and provide a small security benefit as well.
A second ethernet port is definately needed in a production machine such as this, but why connect it to the internet. It seems that that would be unnecessary and possibly even dangerous firewall or no.
His suggestions for memory and cpu are probably way too high. The gig of memory I guess I can understand, but even eight ATA drives shouldn't require a 3.0 P4. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here. I've never had more than four drives going at a time.
This article should have been passed around a bit more before publication and maybe these errors would have been fixed.
I still have my voodoo 1 if anybody wants to purchase it. It's great for games like Quake and...uhm...Quake...eh...did I mention how good GLQuake looks?
Why, should they be illegal? If desired use is restricted to emergency vehicles only, then the device to change the lights should talk on an encrypted channel. Sloppy design is at fault here allowing the lights to be changed by a device that can be built for $40 and some spare time.
Think of the lights as an unpatched winxp box with every service running and no firewall in front of it.
I am speaking from the perspective of a nicotine addict and nothing more, thankfully. I have not done crack so I can't speak for that, but coke I can.
Coke never got my attention it a real soul-gripping manner; I had fun with it sure, but it never gave me severe withdrawal problems. Nicotine, while something that I have temporarily conquered and can manage to enjoy once again, will probably always be staring me down in a battle of wills.
The only severe withdrawal I've ever seen from cocaine was with a friend of mine who was also concurrently recovering from alcohol and painkiller addictions so it's not a solid base for judgement.
Due to my experience, I would say that cocaine is less addictive than nicotine, about the same as alcohol, and more addictive than acid, x, weed, or the various perscription drugs. Remember that everyone is different so these may not and probably will not be the same for anyone else.

Easily installable extension for firebird users here. I'm not sure if it works with mozilla, but it's worth a try.
Wow, you're right. I would much rather have my children killing people than evil monsters. That would make for a much happier game.

La, la, la...skipping through the desert...yay, a raghead. Kill Him!!! BANG! BANG!
This is a great argument for religion and all the good it has done for mankind.

Who the fuck moderated this interesting?
I really hope this was a joke, and I don't see humor where none was intended.
I wish I'd known about this only 2 or 3 hours ago, I could have picked something up for my special someone.

That's actually a rather poor idea considering how often spammers "Joe Job" using valid email accounts belonging to other victims of spam.
