At my high school (until next monday, when I graduate), half the fun is to install & play the games without the teachers knowing. The other half is telling your friends what you were able to get away with.
is the call for hackers to find a way to circumvent the login system to retrieve the data, or do they want the password 'recovered' by using a dictionary attack, or another brute-force method?
Though, at this point, they probably aren't too particular.

some guy creates cool thing
said guy puts directions on his homepage
some bored/.er finds it, submits it to/.
editor likes it, it gets posted
INSTANT DEATH to the guy's homepage
inventor guy looks at how many hits he's gotten, realizes why server is dead
guy learns not to share innovations online
This is how we thank people that invent cool things in this day and age.
I'd hate for them to cater to the largest market share. What are they trying to do, make money? By having google write enhancements for the masses, more people use google, so google makes more money.
If you like an open source browser and want enhancements that you can't find, you write them yourselves.
how big of a surprise is this? The whole idea behind kazaa is that you can get music that you don't own. This reminds me a lot of the warez sites out there. How many of us trust them?
FYI, the people on the list that have the status of "maimed" or "fatality" (aka dead) are women that died either during their abortions, or complications from their abortion. I believe that they're wrong not to clarify that on the site, but if you take the time to click on some of the names that are hyperlinked, you can figure it out.
Anyone advocating for attacks on any person for any reason should not be trusted and slapped w/ lawsuits & criminal charges. They don't seem to be directly advocating for violence, but if they're not, they need to make it clearer that they're not.
Did anybody else out there read this story late at night and see "John Katz" instead of "Joe Kaz", and wonder why he didn't post the story himself? Of course, even in my bleary-eyed state I knew it wasn't Katz posting, as it was only a paragraph of text.
It's the best mail account that I have ever had for not getting spam. If you sign up for a hotmail account, you will have spam within a half hour. I've used yahoo mail for about 6 months WITHOUT ANY SPAM WHATSOEVER. and if you do get spam, they have spam filters (which haven't caught anything, as it tells you) My secret: DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR MAIN EMAIL ADDRESS ONLINE. keep a spam account for site registration purposes. No online service has my home phone and/or home address either.
As I recall, all it took was one visit to http://subscribe.yahoo.com/showaccount to remove myself from their marketing schemes. they sent me an email advising me to go there if i cared.
I'm not sure why slashdot keeps making such a big deal out of it. I haven't been forced into anything. I'm happy with the service. I'd actually recomend it as the best free email service I've ever had.
As another Nevada resident, I can affirm his claim that the majority of Nevada voters are very ignorant about the issue. Heck, even the elected officials are ignorant.
Representitive Shelly Berkley (D-NV) recently came to my school (:Advanced Technologies Academy:) to talk about current issues, how important it is to register to vote, etc.
I happened to miss the fun, but my fellow students tore her apart on the issues of nuclear power & Yucca Mountain, eventually making her say that she wasn't informed enough on the issue to comment on their questions.
Among the items:
She tried to quote a report on how a French container for nuclear waste failed a safety test, not the American one that has passed the same test and been approved.
She believes that fusion reactions will create higher amounts of waste than the current fission plants (the only radioactive product fusion created was a short-lived isotope of hydrogen last time I checked)
She believes that natural sources of energy (such as wind and geothermal sources) can create just as much or more power as nuclear plants. (yeah right)
Per student education funding in Nevada may be one of the lowest in the country, but I haven't been asleep in science. She's the one that needs to go back to school. She's not going to get my vote when she's up for re-election.
As if most people weren't already scared to open the case of their computers... now they'll think that they'll not only break it, but that they'll get sick too.
This may actually make tech support easier, if more morons were afraid to pop open the case.
but your enemies even closer... M$ should be the experts on how the open source business model (and the projects/companies that are part of it) is working, as they are trying to fight it.
Gates argues that free software can exist, but should be like a free unix called "VSB" (probably a transcription error for BSD), without the GPL around it.
Step 1: See an interesting product online Step 2: Fill out reg. page, using fake info / your email addy (@hotmail.com @excite.com, etc) that you registered just to get spam sent to it. Step 3: Check email immediately, only to realize that you didn't get the link yet. Step 4: Go do other stuff ... (a few days/weeks pass)... Step 5: See the email in your spam inbox, if you can find it. Step 6: Realize that you don't really need it that badly / have found something else. Step 7: Repeat Step 4
Just another reminder that it's not the degree you have that counts (though degrees are a good thing), it's what you can figure out / how fast you can learn & adjust to an environment that determines how productive you'll be. Q: Of all the things the children did and learned, what did you find the most surprising?
A: One day there was a document file on the desktop of the computer. It was called "untitled.doc" and it said in big colorful letters, "I Love India." I couldn't believe it for the simple reason that there was no keyboard on the computer [only a touch screen]. I asked my main assistant -- a young boy, eight years old, the son of a local betel-nut seller -- and I asked him, "How on earth did you do this?" He showed me the character map inside [Microsoft] Word. So he had gotten into the character map inside Word, and dragged and dropped the letters onto the screen, then increased the point size and painted the letters. I was stunned because I didn't know that the character map existed -- and I have a PhD.
During any period of fast paced growth, workers stop sleeping as much, due to employer demand. During the Industrial Revolution, all of those poor workers were working like crazy for 12+ hours a day, in crappy conditions.
How many of us today are actually getting excited about a way that could possibly allow us to work a few more hours a day? (people from management / human resources excepted)
I'll laugh the day we read about the next scandal, where some cutting-edge technology company is caught providing these pills to their workers to increase productivity.

I'm always ahead of my class... During a lot of the period, I'm walking around the class helping people [mostly the 2 girls we have in there, (= ] I do this with the teacher's blessing, and I also enjoy the _group_projects_ that we do, because in the work world, group projects happen.
I'm not going to do CS in college, but I would have imagined that college would have been _more_ like the work world than high school, not the other way around.

Very true. Airplanes and trains have to be designed within certain jerk limits for operation. Rollercoasters shouldn't be an exception.

How many licks does it take to get to the molten core?
(Let's just hope that some owl doesn't come and take two licks and bite right to the core, forever leaving the problem unanswered)

flightship.net/technology has information on how this thing works...
Any additional info on why it works would be good to read.
Home phone number? How many of us can be reached at home throughout the entire day? Giving out his cell phone number would be much more effective.
Of course, we'd have to have a way to dynamically update the licence as he kept changing his phone number.

more like the 'PARROT ACT', where the telco sits there listening to you, then repeats it verbatum to the Feds.

You usually have to have a legal residence in the state you want to get your drivers licence in...
It's possible that a P.O. box could work for having a residence.
