Man can't take all of the credit for the extinction of the Mammoths. Current thinking is that there were three contributing factors that caused their extinction: Its called the Chill-Kill-Ill theory. It goes like this:
- Chill: As the glaciers melted after the last ice age there was a period of time where the temeratures were lower than normal. This was a stress on the ecosystem that the Mammoths were used to as they had lived through at least a dozen previous ice ages. - Kill: Added to the mix the arrival of a new predator (man) that they had never encountered before. - Ill: Further added to the mix is the introduction of a whole slew of foreign microbes that the new predators brought with them.
Any one of the above were probably not enough to wipe out the mamoths, but combined they put enough stress on their ecosystem that the mammoths were unable to survive....at least that's what was on the Discovery Channel two nights ago.
I do the same thing. but I now find myself in a bit of dilema
I'm in the market for a new provider. My current one just doesn't have the coverage in my area that they should and I'm getting sick ann tired of lost calls and poor reception.
I've been shopping around and wouldn't you know it, the providers with the best plans are also the ones that don't offer vibrating phones. Sure you can spend $400 to get the 'Upgrade' phone, but who wants to do that? I don't need a phone that I can run my life out of. I just need one that can make calls, receive calls, and not have and vibrate.
Let's say I produce a AIM bot and ActiveBuddy issues a cease and desist. I respond with a brief detailing exactly the prior art that I have based my work on. ActiveBuddy persists and I end up in court.
Given the enormous volume of evidence that this patent is non-enforcable, can I countersue on the basis of a frivolus law suit?
Can I win that suit?
Is the prospect of me winnning my counter-suit enough to deter ActiveBuddy?
- Water just rolls out of our ears on its own. - We actually do have muscles that allow us to close our nostrils, they just aren't used that much in every day life. - Noses are angled in such a way that as long as we stay upright in water we can keep the water out.
I used to do a lot of swimming. I never wore ear or nose plugs and never had a problem with water seaping in.
1) This is fantastic. Perhaps blindness will be extinguished within my lifetime. This is something that I never thought I'd see.
2) 1 fps is about what I was getting last weekend when I installed Serious Sam the Second Encounter on a Pentium II 450. It really sucked. But even that would beat the crap out of being blind.
According to Ars Technica it costs NetFlix 37 cents to ship a DVD to a customer. Granted, NetFlix doesn't have to burn the media they are shipping but if they did I can't imagine it costing more than a dollar.
However - especially here in Europe - many big Telecom companies have paid a huge amount of money (several US-billon $) to the governments to get a UMTS license because they thought it to be the only way of getting mobile Internet access.
Since it seems like most of the governmental flames here are generally directed at the American government, I'm sure you'll understand if I take this opportunity to do some good ole'fashioned EuroBashing(tm)!
To bad all I can think to say is "Are you sure you don't live in America?"
The guy that misinterpreted this email is a moron and didn't read the email carefully.
He made a big deal about it and now everyone is standing around nodding their heads all thinking, "I can see how he would think that. Lets fuck those Comodo bastards up." It's the mob mentality in a major way....but I suppose that is to be expected here.
I think that pretty much sums it up.
-- the above is just the opinion of a simple groundling, pay no attention.
Exactly what kind of fraud is being commited here?
All they did was to offer their services as a cert provider. They never claimed anyting untrue. Heck, their letter actually sounds down right friendly... but you would know that if you had read the letter.

funny you mentioned that. A few weeks ago my company was shopping for a wed developer and I was exnchanging email with lots of salesmen. I kept getting bounce messages on my replies to one of them. At first Ifigured that it was a mail header problem and resent the message to his real address, but that bounced too. Then I actually read the bounce message: "Remote host said: 550 5.0.0 spam not accepted here".
It was quite convenient really... I had been looking for a way to pare down the vendow list without having to sit through a dozen demos.
I'm not an EE so forgive my ignorance, but why not just drop the cameras in a buck of water over night. It seem to me that, that should discharge those capacitors and drain the batteries sufficiently that they won't recharge.
Even though the hospital may not support fetal stem cell donation, that does not stop you from banking the cells yourself. There are commercial services that will bank these cells for you for a resasonable fee. ViaCord and CBR are two such services.
I chose CBR for my son. I pray that he never needs the cells, but if he does, they will be there.

Thanks for the laugh. Thats was really funny.

I too agree. We used Resin where I used to work. I was a solid product.
Perhaps Emergency Personel shouldn't go to a movie during an emergency.

Apparently that's too much to ask.

We don't need muscles to close our nose or ears.
- Water just rolls out of our ears on its own.
- We actually do have muscles that allow us to close our nostrils, they just aren't used that much in every day life.
- Noses are angled in such a way that as long as we stay upright in water we can keep the water out.

With all due respect, I think you're wrong. I see no implication of association the term 'upgrade'. I really don't see any fraud here.
Bah! shaddup and go meta-moderate. Here's a shortcut ya slacker.

As someone that hasn't used any of the above tools I'd really like to hear an objective evaluation of each of them. Can you oblige?

Don't worry, once we run out of Petrol, we'll just swithc to Methanol/Ethanol. You'll still have plenty of reason to wheeze.

Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heathen folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Man's burden--
No iron rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper--
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Man's burden,
And reap his old reward--
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden--
Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness.
By all ye will or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Man's burden!
Have done with childish days--
The lightly-proffered laurel,
The easy ungrudged praise:
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers.

We can adjust the atmosphere back to pre-industrial levels?!?
COOL!
I want to go back the the mini Ice Age of the 14th century!
Ohh Ohh! Then lets raise temperatures so that Greenland is LUSH and FERTILE again!
So many things to do, so little time! Lets get cracking!
No...Not LEECH.
SLEEZE. When referring to a marketing decision the proper adjective is sleeze. Eg: "Bob is the least sleazy marketer I know".
