Slashdot can mark the single such post as -2 and it will disappear.
Even if the offending posts are marked as -2, the information is still sitting on a server somewhere without Microsoft's permission violating copyright. That's the problem. To remove the offending posts destroys what I feel is basically evidence (for lack of a better term). How will history look back on this? 100 years from now when my great grandchildren are studying history, what will they think when they can't relate to what actually occurred because "all the wrongs have been righted?" How can future generations learn from our mistakes if our mistakes are wiped clean? Maby a mistake wasn't even made here. History has always been written by those currently in power. Ask an Irishman and an Englishman the same particular question and you'll probably get two very different answers. Neither of them will be knowingly telling a lie.
The unauthorized redistribution of copyrighted material is unlawful. That much is true and I'm fairly certain someone is going to have to answer for that. Hang in there blueunderwear. Maby we can make a poster child out of you (pun definately intended)

I have a PPro 200mhz system that can't be overclocked... aparently if you baught one late and the board guys knew there wouldn't be a faster one out there, they didn't put enough jumpers on the board to let you play that game. I've been looking for a "Socket 8" board that'll let me clock it up, but have been unsuccessful.
A 200 mhz chip running cool at 200 mhz seems like such a waste!
I took a very sweet 6' rack home from work when we actually baught steel shelves for our server room. I'm not about to buy $200 cases for all my boxes (well there aren't that many) but I would like to get them in there because if I don't use it, it takes up alot of room.
With some 1" Angle iron, a drill, a hack-saw and maby a roto tool (for those sexy rounded corners), customizing your rack to hold your boxes in whatever configuration you want is a snap.
If you didn't get your rack for free, I think you would be better advised to purchase a set of steel shelves... A rack that can hold four or five cases is going to be pretty big, but very expensive.
I'm sure you all did. it basically said as "random" systems get more and more complicated, they start to resemble predictable organisms. the movie delt with chaos theory and the stock market and how it was a large enough chaotic system that it could be predicted with the right algorythm and a large enough number cruncher.
Anyplace where I can go to my family farm's home page and accidentally end up being asked for my credit card number for porn might be just chaotic enough to qualify. I don't think the internet will be large enough until it spans "heavenly bodies." When I can go to homer.crater.lun and end up sending packets to the sea of tranquility, THEN the internet will be alive.

There isn't really an undo button for precidence.
What board do you use?

So that's why we couldn't finish our game last week...
