I kind of agree. I do agree that they should give a discount to all previous MacOS owners (of any recent version AFAIAK). However 10.2, while it is a minor upgrade as far as the numbered release version indicates, it is far more than just a minor upgrade. It's been said that 10.2 could really have been called 11. Personally I don't like the idea of jumping quite that far. Maybe 10.5. A lot of major new things are included in 10.2 so I can kind of understand charging more for it. It's not a minor "pay us $20 for the CD" release. I still wish there was a discount though.
Another thing worth pointing out is that you can get 10.2 for only $69.95 if you're a K-12 faculty/staff member or Higher Ed faculty/staff/student member. The discount isn't directly offered to K-12 students. Through a school you can usually get a discount. Apple Specialists would probably also give you a discount for your daughter's computer. Since I work at a Unv and K-12 I bought mine for $69.95.
I think the robot simply had a laugh sensor and just made variety of different motions until the laughter of the audience reached a certain threshold. The Moon Walk was a runner up.
There's his first mistake. For anything more than suing a spammer YOU NEVER GO PRO SE! When will people get it through their thick melons that they don't know the law well enough to argue against a high-priced lawyer?! ARGH! Even if they have watched enough Law & Order to talk the talk, the judge still won't give them credit and will bias in favor of the one that passed the bar. We shouldn't be sympathizing with this guy. We should be blaming him for his inaction that caused a precedent to be set that can be used to affect all of us. This guy would have most likely won if he had just highered a decent lawyer.
And to think I was pissed as a new EE when they made me take those stupid-ass Java courses. What the hell will and EE do with Java? Even the instructors were pissed.
Is it me or has NASA forgotten about basic maintenance on their equipment? Whenever we used the tracker loader or hoe we always spent half an hour or so greasing it and checking for damage. Did NASA forget to do this with their workhorses? Hell a farmer spends much of his winter doing maintenance on his equipment. I think NASA needs to remember some of the basics before they fly again.
I think the kid said he hadn't ever used the "Godzilla" name though. So he has a domain name with 5 common characters in it and a lizard on his website. I don't think there's much of a violation there. Now if he blatently ripped the image from the official Godzilla homepage or something then yeah I'd say he's SOL. I think if he could afford to stand against Toho, he'd win fairly easily. The cost of ligitation would still suck though.
Do you have any suggestions for all the geeks out there on how or what to cook that makes us look good to our geek girls while not being too hard to accomplish? Ie, how to pick a wine and use it in a recipe or how to cook something with veggies that look good to a woman and yet aren't rubbery? Geek girls dig these things from what I hear.:)
Lets say that Firestone tells Ford that if they want Firestone's high performance special tire for a new Ford hot rod (only made by Firestone) Ford has to outfit their entire product line with Firestones. It's an all or nothing deal. What happens then? Bridgestone, Cooper, and all the other manufacturers sue. They'd probably win too. How come that doesn't work here? This just plain sucks.

I wonder if the stockholders can say something about this though. Could the stockholders join together and say 'no, we won't let your directors absolve yourself of your debits. we're the majority here, not you.'? I don't know exactly how all this crap works but I would think the stockholders as a whole would have more power than the directors and would have the ability to overrule the board's decision.
Something I started doing recently was replying to spam with a message that contained web bugs. The web bugs were links to Linux ISO images. If only a couple of those spammers clicked the OK button (or if their MUA didn't ask and just downloaded) their BW would be wasted for hours.:)
This article is complete bullshit. It wouldn't surprise me if a spammer wrote it themselves. So much for journalistic ethics. The link above is to a reply from the so called stalker. Karen (the stalker) sets the record straight.
I don't see why not. All it takes is one article to be published about them to be considered a celebrity, a public figure. Once they are a celeb, you can follow them around, take as many pictures as you want, dig into their life as much as you want, and publish whatever you find. That's what we need! Paparatzi (sp?)! We need the Paparatzi to hunt our spammers for us. Once they kill of a few of each other a good law might get passes.
Frankly I don't like the tone of the article. It makes ME as an anti-spammer sound like the bad guy. It makes ME sound like I'm inhibiting free enterprise! There's nothing free about spam. Spam costs ME money. Bandwidth IS NOT CHEAP. Drive space for multi-thousand users IS NOT CHEAP. Processor time to receive, block, or deliver spam IS NOT CHEAP. It costs me money for spammers to send my users their shit.
All this article does for me is piss me off even more and make me want to block even more spam. I'll probably go out and dig up another couple hundred spamming domains for my blacklist.
Let's see what they think of me from my profile of the last items I purchased at Wal-Mart:
Condoms (must be for the 72 virgins) K-Y Jelly (must be for the 72 sheep) 4 boxes of Winchester S&W.40 ammo (must be for hijacking a plane) Mountain Dew (now I'm a cyber terrorist) Ramano cheese (Italian mafia terrorist!) Extra Virgin Olive oil (kinky bastard... He's corrupting our youth!) DVD of Blazing Saddles (He's learning to disguise himself, OMG!) Milk (he's a baby stealer too?) Reese's Pieces and Rolos (now he's after our women. To arms!) Solder and speaker wire (He's making a thermal nuclear bomb!) Onions (he's preparing to torture someone) Basalmic Vinegar (Sick freak!) jalepenos peppers (this is just too much! Attorney General Ashcroft, save us!)
I understand that TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1 and Volume 2 are valuable. I own both but haven't yet read either. (sorry for the amazon linking. I don't have anything else handy)
I've used one of these before. They are sweet. They make ear muffs in the same manner. They take in sound and basically play it back in your ear. It detects loud noises and reduces their level to something that won't damage your ears. My Dad has hearing problems and the doctor recently recommended that we buy him a set of these.
Ah.. but if that happens, they won't be looking for copyrighted works on consumer's machines. They'll be attacking my business. I don't need permission from "the guy who got beat by a dead guy" to sue them for that. $250 isn't hard to prove either.

Take him to a bar and see how well he can hold his liquor. If he holds it well, higher him. If he also buys, make him the CEO.

You heard it here. It's called the "family license".
If Bill Jones is a victim that only made a few mistakes then Ted Bundy is also a victim that only made a few mistakes.
Common Carrier doesn't apply to ISPs. That precedent has already been set.

I'm not blaming NASA for equipment failures. I'm blaming them for not performing basic maintenance.

I'd rather have one for lawyers. I don't know anyone that can speak legalease.

I also loved the Perl CD Bookshelf, especially the Learning Perl volume. I found myself frequently referring to it.
