Great idea; just don't do this at home or work; it would be easy for them to use caller-id and add your phone number to their database that they like selling;
calling them at from an airport on 10 different phones may be more entertaining;
I hope you are not there to collect your 419 money

I'm thinking that I may have the winning key stuck on my computer;
The story: I downloaded 1000 blocks, archived the blocks, processed and sent 300; the hard drive died; I restored everything to a new HD and then restarted processing the blocks; the maintainers of the RC64 thing complained and threatened to block my account because of the duplicates;
Since the RC64 admins are big whiners and aren't smart enough to just ignore some duplicates, I stopped participating; it would bad to find out that the winning key is in my archived block that I was offering to continue processing a couple years ago;
Yes and that's is why is high school chemistry labs we should allow children access to dangerous chemicals without supervision.
Thanks for bringing back some good memories; I had no chemistry experience but had a cool chemistry cookbook; they gave me permission and free reign to prepare for a chemistry demo until people started getting nervous about the smoke filling the halls;
I remember back in the day when Netscape was the only "cool" graphical application on Linux for awhile -- it was in everyone's screenshots when showing off Linux; now it seems to be popular to bash Netscape even though they helped to inspire lots of Linux development when things were just beginning to happen for Linux.
Nice story about some (or even many) Baptists in Alabama, but I fail to see how that specific story can be used to prove that I'm intolerant. Your intolerance to see me as a tolerant person with an opinion is starting to turn this discussion into a childish, albeit fun disagreement.
(I'm even tolerant of your use of the word 'cracker')
I suggest that you save some money and take a trip across Europe and see how Christianity is very much a part of the history and culture there. What more can I say?
You have (some good)/(some great) points; I just don't want my argument/opinion associated with some of those bad stereotypes you mentioned. Just because I'm advocating/preserving my freedom doesn't mean that I am trying to belittle someone else.
I did not say it was a culture; I said my culture is based on Christianity; (the other cultures I mentioned also contain Christians) - when a culture is based/relies on a religion, you will see religious events and religious structures and religious people become an important part of that peoples' culture and heritage.
What nonsense! As a Christian, this offends me!
Many people try to label their bias and prejudice as "christianity" and defend it with the banner of religious freedom but it's all redneck asshole intolerance to me.
Racial slurs aside (must be a part-time-attend-Easter-and-Christmas-only-Christi an), my arguement is about freedom for all.
You may come from a culture of intolerance, but don't call that "christianity". True Christianity is all about tolerance (Love your neighbor as yourself and all that).
Since you don't know me, I don't know how you came up with that conclusion.
Next time you want to force everyone in your community to pray to your god, think how you'd feel if someone else tried to make you pray to their god.
This was not one of my goals (the forcing part) - I don't know where you got that from; I was discussing freedom for all;
Finally, this (the RIAA legal threats) is nothing like the example you site. It's more like if, say, you wished to teach a class in comparitive religion and the Scientologists sued you for using their copyrighted materials. For that reason alone your post is not at all "insightful" (more like "inciteful") and should have been modded down as Flamebait.
I'll agree that I'm not on topic when viewing my comments against the main story, but I'll argue that I am on-topic when viewing the parent comment.
The americans decide to teach the fighter pilot a lesson and do a little wing waggle or the like to give him a scare. Nobody here has ever had the temptation to pull on their car's emergency brake while some idiot is tailgating, right?
Quite a wild accusation... (possible, I guess) anyway, I've taken flight lessons in a tiny 2 seat plane - even in these tiny and slow planes, you don't "fly-by" another -- especially without radio coordination -- accidents are more probable if a person would do something that stupid. Now apply common sense and rules of physics to larger and faster planes...
...Almost as bad as Japanese expressing surprise at learning that civilians were aboard military subs -- even though this fact was shown at length before the accident on CSPAN (cable/satellite/etc)

That's a poor generalization; almost as bad as implying that all Democrat's in office harass their interns;

I heard bad things can happen!

I wonder if Katz is trying his luck with someone else's name on the article... :)
I vote for the harddrives as being the biggest noise makers (atleast in my house)
Spam was meant to be fried.
they named their project after the wrong movie
Now I can finally run vi at a decent speed.
...but can I ever see my mom using it, nope
:)
adopt her out and get a new one then
Let's not get full of ourselves ;)

Of all the people to say that...
That man is not a micromanager. Blame him for everything and maybe "our guy" will be elected next time.
Just imagine Tom Green (MTV) visiting known $cientology sites -- I'd start watching MTV again!
...and the quantum disk drives that they use to store every packet ever, they already know your underwear size,
Good idea, I sometimes forget and buy a size too small; I knew my 10G Quantum was good for something.
One more reason we shouldn't make international business too centralized -- imagine if only one patent office was allowed in the agreements.

Too bad I didn't attend your school (I wish I could have); not every public school is as open as your's was.
Christianity is not a culture, it's a religion.

I wish I had a shotgun and that I were left loose in the RIAA building with a license to kill. Oh man, it would be a frag fest by the time I come out.
There goes the theory that violent games don't influence people to commit violence.
now all I need is a LUG in central wisconsin
