Actually, closer to two years. But, if the company he works for is anything like the company I work for, the imbeciles in upper management just got wind of this massive clusterfuck about a month and a half ago.
I spent hours trying to tell my managers about this the day it was signed into law in 2005. So you can imagine my enthusiasm now, in 2007, about being asked to patch 200 AIX and Solaris servers.
This is going to be a huge mess. But did anyone really expect anything less from George W. Bush?
The use of WiFi and the ability to have ringtones and pictures that don't cost you 2 bucks a pop from the phone company is a daring move for Cingular.
I've never had a problem loading MP3s and pictures onto my current Cingular smartphone through either the USB connection or the memory slot. This isn't really groundbreaking. They've allowed this for quite a while. Even my old Verizon not-smart phone let me do this.
WiFi means that these can be Skype phones too.
Cingular's current Windows Mobile phones can do this too.
You have some strange anarchist mindset where if we just allow everything we don't like then we won't accidently damage anything in the crossfire.
No, what I have is called common sense. I've got nothing against some laws. Others are draconian and idiotic.
Take drugs for example, why is it that cigarettes and alcohol cause tens of times more death than all illegal drugs combined? Is it because they are less dangerous?
Sure, let's lump everything into one category called "drugs". That makes it really easy to vilify them and their users. Nice straw-man, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand, and it's ignorant.
Your argument against both drugs and spam boils down to this: "people can't be trusted to police their own actions, so let's make their decisions for them". And that's not only hypocritical, it's undemocratic.
For what reason? The United States would look even stupider than it already does (and I know that's REALLY hard to imagine because we already look SO FUCKING STUPID to the rest of the world) if we were to unilaterally attack NK for this.
You honestly think kids go around at school bragging to their friends about how many MP3s they downloaded the night before, simply to score "cool points"?
What the HELL, man?? Go back and reread what you wrote. Kids aren't retards.
I "steal" music and I'm proud of it. You'll thank me in 10 years when people have realized that you don't need a cartel of 3 multibillion dollar corporations to tell you what to listen to.
Um, so whose music are you stealing? Let me guess: music owned and sold by 3 multi-billion-dollar corporations.

The average Dell buyer barely knows how to turn the computer on.
Normal people do not upgrade their CPUs. They just buy new computers.

He is no longer in charge of anything other than running his big stupid mouth.
People seem to forget that scumbags such as Newt were forced to resign over serious ethics questions late in the 1990s.
What he says is unimportant, as well as being retarded.
Maybe you should go back and reread what he said a few times. You don't seem to understand the point he was trying to make.
And it's a pretty simple point.
that doesn't stop me, or anyone else i know, from gambling online.
"But it is not possible to say if the 300-millionth American was a new-born or crossed one of the US borders."
Is this really necessary?
If that's the case, can't you just put a "DEFECTIVE" sticker on her and send her back for a replacement?
"This one is DOA..."
i've been using linux since you were a sperm cell, little kid. look at how leet i am, and you're posting anonymously.

Are you a Nazi?
also not-receiving tons of legit email from people within the netblocks that get blacklisted by these sites. loads of fun.
not being able to send mail to people because your IP is included in a range of blacklisted IPs is fun too!
However, just because ICANN suspends a domain doesn't mean that its out of DNS.
Erm, yeah, it does.
Anyone with a DNS server can still serve the records. Not all root servers are under ICANN control.
Yeah, just, you know, all the ones that matter.
Oh boy, a "spam" blacklisting site closing its doors. Good fucking riddance.
When are people going to realize that blacklisting causes more problems than it solves?
Since I wrote software that stopped working after SP2, I (or rather, my company) paid quite a bit for SP2.
How did you even manage to do that? Every single piece of software I own worked fine after I upgraded, on all of my machines.
whoever doesn't have a fast internet connection in the year 2006 should seriously consider killing themselves.
So were are the Linux and OSX Honeypot PC's?
What would the point of those be? Why would anybody waste their time setting one up? To watch a bunch of Windows-specific breakin attempts fail?
Also learn to spell.
For what reason? The United States would look even stupider than it already does (and I know that's REALLY hard to imagine because we already look SO FUCKING STUPID to the rest of the world) if we were to unilaterally attack NK for this.
I'm more worried about dying from a hangnail.

MySpace has taught more kids CSS than all of us combined.
If by CSS you mean "nothing at all about CSS", then I definitely agree.
You suck at politics and your opinions are just fucking wrong.

Really, what's the point of even posting this now? If people weren't aware of it, it's too late to do anything about it now.
Don't worry. For, you see, I know Superman.
I can get him to fly real fast around the world, thus reversing time and bringing us back to a point before when this story should've been posted.
does poker count as a gaming addiction?
because i am hella addicted to making money.
