I've been very careful about keeping my credit card information safe, but somehow, someone got my credit card information and used it for an online spending spree for e-goods.
I then used social engineering to MY advantage to get information about the person using my credit card information. This moron did absolutely nothing to cover his tracks. After the police and Visa are through with him, maybe I'll post his information here and see if he likes being on the receiving end of this kind of theft.
About nine in 10 principals said it is important for all students to learn some journalism skills, but most administrators say a lack of money limits their media offerings.
More than one in five schools offer no student media opportunities; of the high schools that do not offer student newspapers, 40 percent have eliminated them in the last five years.
Lack of money limits their media offerings, but they'd rather plunge a red-hot porcupine up their asses than cut a football or basketball program, even if their program is losing money.
I don't doubt that schools and students benefit from sporting programs. But what life skills are actually learned in sporting programs? Instead of cutting sports, they cut the arts, funding for computer labs, and so-called "media offerings."
Mr. Holland was right. If they quit teaching anything other than reading and writing, pretty soon the students won't have anything left to read or write about.
Actually, it says that it takes conventional rechargeable batteries one hour, not one minute, which is 120 times faster. That's a significant advance in my book.
If I can run my RC car for 10 minutes and recharge it in 30 seconds, that's good enough for me.
At my first programming job, my first moronic PHB treated us all like we were a big MBA project. Yes, he WAS getting his MBA at the time.
He came up with a "mission statement" that had three parts: "Productivity, Punctuality, and Preciseness." He actually had a great big banner made up with a logo with three great big P's on it.
Truth be told, our productivity remained about the same, but the banner itself boosted our morale greatly. On the way to the restroom, we would look proudly at the banner and say, "I've got to P, P, P!"
Later, when designing a database to track our P, P, and P (at the PHB's request), one of the developers edited the logo, turning the P's upside down, making the new logo have a big 666 on it.
That PHB was an utter moron. But on the bright side of things, some of the other people I worked with were top-notch and are still great friends to this day.
The company itself, however, did stupid things, the least stupid of which was firing the newly-MBA-titled PHB that came up with such imbecilic mission statements and logos.
It's simple really. Both will be around as long as there are people shelling out enough cash for the games. When the PC game market becomes unprofitable, then and only then will it die.
Consumers have the power. If they continue to buy PC games, game developers will continue to put the money into developing better games for PC platforms.

I don't need that. My second-hand vending machine is sitting there between my theater-style popcorn popper and the second-hand soda fountain I made after reading about it on Slashdot yesterday.
I have all the major food groups -- sugar, salt, fat, and cholesterol -- all within reach of my computer!
When I walk to the pantry from my home office to get munchies for the day, I can take last night's pizza out of the refrigerator and put it in the microwave. This will save me the trip later. At lunchtime, I won't even have to wait the two minutes until the pizza is hot. I can turn the microwave oven on from my office, nearly fifty feet away!
Wow. Technology is grand. I'll hit that 350-lb mark yet!
Thanks for the questions. Now does anyone have any answers? A very philosophic paper, but philosophy doesnt solve problems. It creates debate, but those that fight the most for their side of the issue will be well-funded by Disney, I'm sure.
I think on line 2 you typed [space][space][tab][cr][space] when you should have typed [space][space][tab][space][cr]. When I made that small change, it worked just fine.
In related news a flurry of lawsuits were recently filed:
The first was filed by Disney, because they OWN TRON.
The second was filed by SCO, because they OWN Unix, and this whole TRON thing might somehow cut into their profits.
The third was also filed by SCO. It was a billion dollar lawsuit against Disney. SCO also threatened to pull Disney's TRON license, which could prevent Disney from using bits, light cycles, or recognizers, or strange old men rotating in I/O towers at any future time.
I'm perfectly fine with a fuel-cel-powered vehicle. Sign me up. I'll buy one today...IF you can answer some VERY important questions for me:
When I'm 50 miles from the nearest re-hydrogenating station and I run out of hydrogen, how am I going to get more hydrogen? I can't really hitchhike into town and borrow a gas can now, can I? Would I have to wait for a hydrogen tanker to come fill me up? Or would it be cheaper just to call a tow truck?
At any rate, I can imagine that a "hydrogen can" might be a lot heavier than one of those red plastic gas cans...
Dave, how has (PUT THAT DOWN!) parenthood changed (STOP BURNING YOUR BROTHER!) your humor and (DON'T EAT THAT! IT'S STILL CRAWLING!) your outlook on (WHERE'S MY VALIUM???) life?
Most of the reviews that I see are either very positive or very negative. There are very few reviews that label a product as simply okay or adequate.
This is probably due to the fact that only people that have had extremely positive or extremely negative experiences with a particular product will actually take the time to post. Well, other than a few people with too much time on their hands that want to be listed as top reviewers.

Better yet, draw a circle with an Etch-A-Sketch.
If the reserve oxygen supply starts running low, I'm sure they'll send up the space cowboys. Those guys can do ANYTHING.

And then when you filled up your car, you would be flagged as one in violation of maintaning a vehicle with an operating GPS.
This car moved zero miles, but used 30 gallons of gas? Call big brother immediately!

There are comments in code???
If it has to be explained, that's pretty telling too.

Hmmm... This sounds vaguely familiar:
"Remember, quality is our top priority."

Actually, no.
Here is a previous slashdot article on the matter.
To sum up the article:
...taking a leak!
Microsoft can now sue you for...

The phrase "with the ladies" shows that you are NOT a geek.
Or maybe you are a geek and you're just saying "with the ladies" so you look less stupid than if you say "with the guys."

Or about 1/3 of a serving for your normal Slashdot poster...
