Holy shit, I wish I had some time on my hands. What in the hell are they going to do if someone shows up? Fine them for thinking about possibly doing something... maybe?
So... how much money did those suckers make on the people who don't scrutinize their monthly bills? Enough to cut you a check to pay that recurring charge.
but since the author decided to use the word, "ginormous" I really can't take it--or him--seriously it's a word that should only be used in the description of titties, not buses.
If it breaks down, your whole mass transit route comes to a standstill until it's repaired.
If the thief is reading your email, you can send an email to that account along the lines of, "Hey [your name here], I got that weed you want, meet me at [a nearby park] and we can do some business." The Thief shows up, and so do you with a baseball bat and a couple of friends. You probably won't get your laptop back, but you can get some... satisfaction...
If it's 20 year old technology, I'm guessing that the patents on said technology are only now starting to expire, and real research and development is being done.
Pornography. Some men apparently like the cam whore to see his dick while he's rubbing one out. Some men like to talk to the cam whore. In the non-porn world, this can translate into video chat applications that can be run in a browser. Don't poo-poo the innovative power of the porn producers. There are conference call phone services--call an 800 # and put in your code to join the conference call--why not be able to scale this up? I'd like to attend a conference call where I can see real people. I wouldn't have to pay for any software licensing, and wouldn't have to worry about people needing compatible clients because it's all handled by the browser or the browser plug-in. You want to conduct a conference call, you pay to host it on said website.
That's just an example, though, of a legitimate, non-porn use for a website to have access to your camera.
I had kubuntu 8.04 on my last laptop and it was fantastic. 9.10 was the suck, but I put 10.04 on my new thinkpad and things are just about right--I only wish they'd have ported over some sort of GUI for my trackpoint. Ah well, haven't used Win 7 since April 14th. (Tax software...)
It isn't the cost of the paper labels, it's the cost of the labor to replace the shelf tags. I work in retail and that costs craploads. And it isn't every few weeks sometimes it's weekly--you have sales, you have price changes, etc. And you're not just printing out one or two shelf tags to get that.01 each, you're printing out hundreds to make it cost effective, and then you have to ship them out to the stores--more labor--have someone sort them--even more labor. I can see an automated system paying for itself quickly.
Back in the day, I had an audiovox cell phone which survived falling from the top of my car going 60 MPH. The battery didn't keep its charge very well after that, but the damn thing still worked after I walked the 2-300 yards and found all the pieces.
Slashdot Mirror
Only because you give them food.
Well, I have no bloody clue what people do for hours on Slashdot every day--except troll people by being contrary.
Kinda like brother Bluto in Animal House when he smashes the guitar, then looks at the shocked people and goes, "Heh, sorry."
And hundreds of chairs in Redmond breathe sighs of relief.
Yeah, right. Right now, deep in HP's R&D labs, they're trying to figure out a way for cell phones to use ink.
Why in the world someone would want to listen to me poop is beyond me.
After all, what were the end results of Sun v. Microsoft?
.NET
Duh.

Color me skeptical.
Pfffft. Sounds like you still are.
Bread and Circuses works world wide.

That's just my guess, though...
He didn't say he was going to prison, just that he was hired!
Isn't it the same thing?
Oblig: chatroulette.

You don't live with an ex-smoker, do you?

I guess they don't make 'em like they used to.
Believe me - my boys did some wild crap when they were younger. Actually - they still do, sadly.
Maybe if they had a caring school administrator to spy on them, they wouldn't have turned out to be such ruffians.
They also make soldiers take a loyalty oath. Heck they even make the president take one--in front of thousands of people!
can you still do the crossword on it?
