They apparently have 60 years to decommission the plant.
"Although the plant will close by the end of next year, its legacy will live on at the Vernon site on the banks of the Connecticut River. Entergy has 60 years to decommission the plant under a plan approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The time will allow the company to accumulate money in a fund set up to pay for dismantling and cleaning up the site."
Thanks Bill! I was going to post something similar. My son also uses a PIN to pay for food. Nothing "big brother" about it. I can easily fund the account online and verify he's been eating lunch. Fox News is blowing a bunch of FUD up everyone's ass.
This isn't crippling. They are doing you a favor by not letting you "upgrade". Whoever thought that upgrading was a good idea should be taken out back and shot.
No, they just need to get a New Englander (well, one of the ones that knows how to drive) to get it unstuck. We have lots of experience getting stuck in deep snow.
Disable the traction control and rock it back and forth.:)
A bullet to the head is a lot more gruesome than being hanged (namely for the people having to watch). Also, the family of the person being executed might appreciate an intact body.
The question then would be, is 6 vulnerable to this? Or any of the vulnerabilities since it's last patch (early 07 I think). I don't have 6 to test with, but I have to wonder when they say previous versions may be vulnerable.. Sounds like they just want you to upgrade a product that may be working fine (and at a cost of $99 for a standard upgrade copy, multiplied by the number of employees in your corp that may have it.. that's not cheap).
And what if the network has DHCP disabled, and you configure your network card with a working static IP? Just because a DHCP service is enabled/running doesn't mean you had permission to request an address from it.
How would this be any different than walking into a companies building and plugging in an ethernet cable to a jack in the wall and getting assigned a DHCP address? Just because your PC was given an address doesn't mean you were authorized access to a network.
The authorization to access a computer or network comes from another human being, not from a service running on the network.
Apparently the courier's van had a broken lock on the door. Also, from what I've heard, the tapes were encrypted when they were sent to Mellon, who then created unencrypted backups which were transported to another location.
I drive about 100miles a day 5 days a week.. The funny thing is, it's *STILL* cheaper than moving closer to work (rent costs are outrageous where I work compared to where I live).
.. but what percentage of Vista PC's have Nvidia cards (and what percentage of those pc's reported a crash?) You can't really compare it to the percentage of crashes reportedly caused by other drivers without knowing that.
I imagine you no longer work for them because they went out of business because of such shoddy products. I know I generally don't buy products from the same manufacturer if the first one fails in a short time period. I certainly hope others have the same sense..
Though, most likely they're still in business selling cheap/shoddy products to OEMs.

Not only that, but it allows the wireless NIC to both connect to another WAP as well as act as a WAP (ie, you only need one wireless card, not two).

Except that it is moving with the current. It probably moved 3 miles in the time it took him to go 15.
Besides, they'll write it all off as a loss and get a tax credit.
Your passwords are utterly useless to you when they are saved. Pretty sad that you can't remember your passwords.

I would inform them of your insults, but apparently their site is slashdotted.
Exactly what I was about to point out. The cheapest macbook starts at $1000. You can find low-end pc notebooks for under $500.
Except they'll probably retain the trademark they have on the name.

Perhaps you should consider working on something other than an open source project :)
Shouldn't we have some superfast herds of buffalo roaming around then?
Not that I need an SSL cert at the moment, but I'll have to remember these guys next time I order one!
Untrue.
You can get a chained cert for very cheap from godaddy (and others) that will use your own domain name (www.yoursite.com).
Use it for observing the radiation emitted by passing communication satellites, particularly in th 4-8Ghz range.

I wouldn't recommend using it though, as that might cause you some trouble.

But, isn't it the user of the software who is actually breaking the EULA by using the software (I haven't read the EULA, nor do I actually care to).
