At one point, foreign government spies checked out the number of pizzas being ordered by the White House to determine if there was something up at the White House. It is now policy that employees of the White House are not allowed to order food from anywhere but the White House kitchen.
What percentage of them are actually used? I'd like to see all TLDs that don't have content hosted on them after, say, 60 days, freed up. Use it or lose it.
Two problems here.
1. TLD is a top level domain, like.com or.org; I'm certain you meant second level domain.
2. What if people aren't putting web content on them? What if, for example, they are using it as a second level domain specific to a particular non-web service, like email? Some companies have domains dedicated to email, for various (legitimate) reasons.
Glad to see that ham is still going strong, and is no longer the exclusive domain of middle aged white guys. In fact, one of the most interesting guys I've ever talked with on 2-meter (voice) is 12 and is blind. Good thing they're using 2 meter, since any class of ham (at least in the US..) can operate on 2 meter.
Fortunately, the people have learned; just one week ago, the Memory Stick Walkman was dropped by CompUSA, and dropped in price from $399.99 to $299.88
Do note that when the price of an item goes from XXX.99 to XXX.88 in most any U.S. store, the 88 cents means the item is either discontinued or the store is reducing the price to get rid of it because they will no longer carry it. It is this way at Wal-Mart, CompUSA, Staples, Office Depot, etc.
No need, there is at least one amateur radio operator on the ISS, some European CQ'ed the ISS during its several-minute-a-day window over his country and got a contact via ham. I'm fairly sure the guy is at least a Tech w/code priveliges, so I bet they can already communicate via CW with decent proficiency.

Jesus Christ, did anyone actually READ the fucking press release? They didn't patent anything, they licensed the patent from the Medical College of Wisconsin. Further, it appears that the biggest and most important part of their patent is a genetic test that can test for hereditary deficiencies.
As well, they misquoted the press release. Intentional or not? You decide.
Did anyone bother emailing them to ask about their technology before declaring a price on their head? Probably not. Did the editor? Hell no.
Lets say the program gets into the public domain.. The admins of those system discover that there is a problem immediately, perhaps before any incidents occur.
Now lets say that only a few people have access to it. They could potentially shut down hospitals nationwide at their whim and the admins of the systems wouldn't have a clue what the hell is going on.
Perhaps I missed something, but it seems that the operators are merely being forced to display "harmful" games separately from "non-harmful" games.
The last time I visited a video store, the adult section was totally separate from the non-adult section. In fact, my local video store has the adult section in a separate room with a self-closing door.
Why do we not decry this breach of our "freedom of speech"? *smirk* Are video games more "speech" than film? Certainly not.
I know this is offtopic, but has anyone else noticed that the link at the bottom, "Comments are owned by the posters, The Rest Copyright 1997-2000 OSDN"
(open source developers network)? It used to be Andover.net, not OSDN. When did this change? Why did this change?
With too/little/ friction, the point would kinda be gone, because while you would certainly be aware of whats going on, you wouldn't feel it, and orgasm would be almost impossible.
The word postal in the slang term is not an adjective, it is an adverb. Adverbs modify verbs, in this case "go", as in "go postal." Adjectives modify nouns, like "carrier" in "postal carrier."
For most companies, the cost of retraining users, etc, is MUCH higher than the cost of a copy of Microsoft Office. Ever heard of the concept of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)? It is the main reason that StarOffice is not deployed in more places. Yes, SO is free, but the TCO of SO is *much* higher in terms of training, etc than MS Office.

The trick is to set up a Windows machine and give them some games, then let them install the games themselves and spend 6 hours on the phone with tech support. The ordeal will either drive them away from computers forever, or force them to explore the computer on their own, since tech support isn't often helpful. =p
And the US wants to have trade relations with them? That to me shows that the US is becoming very tolerant of communism. Ya, give the finger to the people who died in wars against communist nations.
I suppose, given your logic, that desegregation gives the finger to all the Confederate soldiers who died in the American Civil War?
No, you are just unknowingly doing his work on the Earth, and destined to join him in Hell when you die. Sad, but true, unless you repent and fight the Devil.
On a serious note, *I* find it sad that you crusade for your religion in the first place. I find it even sadder that you crusade on the Internet, and waste your time preaching to a bunch of people, like myself, who merely brush you off as humorous. Why don't you go to church and do some more posturing and "preaching to the choir." It might make you feel better.
On a somewhat less serious note, if you feel that denying yourself simple pleasures, and believing in a single supreme being who would force you to deny yourself simple pleasures makes you a better person, by all means please continue, just leave other people out of it. Meanwhile I will continue to masturbate constantly.

After about the third or fourth shot of anything good, you gotta start chewing your shots, or at least you think you do.
