Nope. I live in CA and currently have two tickets on my record for doing 20+ over the speed limit[1]. Both were infractions, meaning they aren't even misdemeanors, much less felonies. Where ever did you get that idea?
You get a higher fine for going 20+ over, but that's the only difference. It's still only one point on your driving record, and it stays on your record three years, same as any other traffic infraction. Each fine was around $340. A normal speeding ticket is usually around $120.

I agree with the previous poster that the 17 inch powerbook is not necessarily Apple's high-end model.
Why? It's too damn big. At 17 inches it's really pushing what can be considered "portable" I wouldn't be surprised if most of the 17" PBs out there are rarely moved off the desktop they're used on. Anyone who wants a laptop they can easily carry around with them should opt for the 15 or 12 inch models. I'd say that the 15" PB is still the best buy while the 17" is for people who want a desktop computer without the space requirements of a G4 tower and monitor.
I've been waiting for the next revision of the 15 inch powerbook to buy one to replace my 12" iBook. If this rumor is true, I couldn't be happier. It looks like I'll be getting even more than I had planned for! OTOH, with the demand there's sure to be, it'll probably take forever to actually get it:(
I've always liked the idea of allowing people to delete or edit posts, but only until it's a) replied to, or b) moderated.
This would ensure that the conversation remains readable (well, as readable as it ever is on/.), by not allowing people to change what they've said after it's commented on. It would also prevent abuse by people getting modded to +5 interesting and then changing their text to a goatse.cx link or something.
Honestly, that's one of the things that bugs me about the whole "GNU movement" (aside from it being a "movement" in the first place, as discussed above). GNU/Linux just looks and sounds stupid, especially since people can't even agree on how to pronounce it ("nu", "guh-nu", "gee en ewe").
Netflix has an affiliate program. It's possible some of those ads are being paid for by users of this service who are getting a commision from the sign-ups (if any).
Affiliate programs have long been a favorite of amateur spammers, it wouldn't surprise me to see people buying web ads for them as well.
You think it is trivial to keep and recall login records for ISP users?
I would hope any ISP is keeping this information (in the form of RADIUS logs) anyway. Otherwise they're going to have a tough time tracking down the spammers that will inveriably flock to their network once they figure out they won't be identified and shut down.
The ISP I work for keeps user access logs for 30 days, including RADIUS, POP3 logins, etc. Storage is cheap and recalling the info is trivial, given the right tools.
Ebay works fine for me with any version of Mozilla I've ever used (starting at 0.9.3) on Win2k. That's browsing, buying, and selling.
The early 0.9.x versions had trouble with the JavaScript Ebay uses on their auction listing forms, but it never caused a crash and it's been working fine for well over a year now. I don't know if that was a Mozilla problem fixed in a later release, or a JS bug eventually fixed by Ebay.
Who said anything about being forced to share your wireless network? If you don't want others using it, secure it. This law just says that you can't be prosecuted for using an unsecured one.
The original (and preferred) term for it is "confirmed opt-in". Spammers started calling it "double opt-in" in order to give the impression that it requires twice the work on the part of the end user, and is therefore undesirable.
Obviously, spammers (and even many legit companies and organizations) don't like the idea of confirmed opt-in, because it requires verifiable confirmation from the user that they want to be included on a mailing list. In other words, they get fewer subscribers when they can't use sneaky and/or deceptive means to get people on their lists.
Which season? I'm in the Santa Ana distribution area too and Sopranos season 2 disc 1 has been a "Long Wait" for a long time.
Surprisingly, out of 47 movies in my queue, only three have wait times at the moment. Metropolis (the original) just went from "very long wait" to "short wait" some time in the past day or two, and if I remember correctly, the Sopranos disc above used to be a "very long wait". The third is Twin Peaks disc 1, which was available the last time I noticed and is now a short wait.
I do know about the online validators but normal development take place behind a firewall using dynamic server-side scripting, so every time your change the state of a page you would have to save it and upload it to the validator.
I had that exact problem until I installed the WDG HTML Validator on my development server (if you're using Debian, just do "apt-get install wdg-html-reference").
When I have something in development, I add a bit to my global footer saying something along the lines of:
if (mode == "dev") {
print "<a href=\"$WEB_DEV_SERVER/validator/validator.pl?url= referrer\">Validate this page</a>"; }
One of the big reasons why the RIAA and MPAA have been so nuts about trying to stop the material they control the copyrights of is that if they do not the copyrights expire automatically, similar in the way that patents expire if they are not defended.
Actually, I believe it's trademarks you're thinking of. Copyright, patent, and trademark law are all different. Neither copyrights nor patents "expire" if they are not defended. Only trademarks must be defended to be kept.
I'm pretty sure that page is meant to be a joke. I mean, come on: A player is a cheater if he... walks. Walking makes no sound. How are people supposed to prepare for such cheating?"
Anyway, Slashdot has been defaced at least twice that I can recall. The first time the main page was replaced with a picture and modified quote from The Princess Bride about Solaris. As for the second time, you can read the inserted story yourself, and then CmdrTaco's full explanation and disclosure , complete with comments.
I'm thinking of writing an (anonymous) article for/. on the subject. Anyone interested in reading about how I turned a malicious spammer into an honest netizen?

I think I'll take M-W's word for it over RMS's. Those letters were pronounced "nu" for a long time before he came around.
Irrelevant. Care to back up your previous claim?
Why "New-nix?" GNU is pronounced "guh-NEW".
Not from where I'm standing, it isn't.

www.apple.com is running Apache on OS X. Strange to see store.apple.com running something different.
Yeah, but look at the telephoto lens on that thing!
Chimps have had 4-7 million years since we split from a common ancestor (according to the article) and they're still swinging in trees.
You're right, the chimps are definitely the smarter ones here.
Either that or 'Ditto'.
