Not that I EVER cut Apple any slack (they are just as eee-vil as Sony, they just do it with more style), but AT&T are still into the "closed network" thing.
When an officer tells you that you have to do something, you must do it.
So, if you are a young woman, and the nice officer tells you to take off your pants, lie down and spread your legs in his back seat, you should just do it, right?
This whole, "THE LEO IS ALWAYS RIGHT" bullshit is, well, bullshit. Face it folks, the cops are out of control. And it is only getting worse and going to continue getting worse.
Yep, I only get (some) pr0n off USENET now. I get my BBC goodness via "The Box". Took about a day to get all of Torchwood series one. Though, it comes to 4.7GB for all 13 episodes. WHO thought it was cute to have it just a wee bit over 4.37, anyway?
You can get a UV light that screws into a water bottle now. You turn on the light for, I think, about twenty minutes and it kills everything living in the water.
IIRC, there is also a marketing law that, if you make a customer happy, he MIGHT tell one other person. If you make a customer unhappy, he WILL tell TWENTY other people.
What people buying from them should do, is, upon being told about the disks and the charge for them, DEMAND they be included free, or they will not buy the computer.
If the salesman refuses, raise hell with his manager. Purchaser gets the disks for free, salesman gets reprimanded (or fired).
I think this was covered in the story a while back about the ex Circuit City employee who disclosed all their "secrets". It wasn't in the main story, but was in the linked story.
That sounds a lot like the system I imagined as a kid.
Mosquitoes make a particular noise when they are "hunting". That is the annoying sound that keeps you awake at night. A tracking system that homes in on that whine, but with IR to avoid humans and pets, and maybe millimeter radar for fine adjustment, could work.

Sony is involved, so this must be evil, right?
Dammit, where did they hide the rootkit THIS TIME?
Go into ANY airport and just say the word "Bomb".
See what happens (if you live through it).
So you want private companies to report your activities to the Federal Government?
This is the PHONE COMPANY. You know, the people who let the NSA put a "special wiring closet" in their main switching centers.
I think number reassignment would be kind of minor, in comparison.
I thought he was eatin', screwin' and watchin' TV?

What is wrong with politicians from MA?
- People die in the big dig tunnels.
- They can't handle the Mooninite.
- Now students are getting tasered when asking them questions.
You forgot:
- Women drown when accepting car rides from them.
- Women get raped when partying with them.
Soon as I typed that, I expected a similar answer...
No, but I had a pretty good idea. It is kind of entertaining, though (which is the purpose, I think).
"Survivor Man" seems to really crap. But again, it is kinda watchable.

That is what I thought.
There was an episode of "Man Versus Wild" where he was drinking pee. I wondered how his kidneys would handle it.
In another episode, he was drinking the liquid squeezed from fresh elephant dung. Tasty!

Plus, you can use it to touch up your tan...

Or, in this case, a couple of hundred thousand...
RMS is just another stinking hippie.
"Damn hippies, say they want to save the world, but really just want to smoke pot and smell bad." - E. C.
That sign has the same force of law as a mild smelling fart.
Read up on your common law. Simply saying "we have a contract" means NOTHING.
shouldn't that be amarok?
Or maybe "Ragnarök"...

Heh.

I can't choose between "It's Butthead!" and "It looks like he needs to take a shit".

I am not worried. As long as the controlling computer runs Vista, that is...
Hell, that is just a bug vacuum cleaner. You can get those at Wally World now.
I am taking about a frickin' LASER! That zaps skeeters!
Fireworks! Vaporized bugs!
Or, a bug sucker...
Growing up in a mosquito infested area, I often thought that someday, an anti-mosquito laser system could be developed.
This technology could possibly do that. If it can focus a laser on a particular spot long enough to make plasma out of air, it can zap a skeeter!
And you thought a bug-zapper was entertaining...
I have been thinking about that.
He made a lot of statements that could be taken as fraud. I wonder maybe IBM could send a package over the the SEC or the Justice Department...
Actually, if the little turds use one of these modified pointers, you can easily find and pound their asses.
Jacking up the power like this make the ENTIRE BEAM visible, not just the point.
I still want a laser powerful enough to deface bumper stickers and write insults into the paint on cars...
