There's something wrong with storing sourceballs at/root: it implies you compile as root. Never make or compile stuff as root! Make a "common" user (common among your admins) and throw all the sourceballs in its home dir. Alternatively, you coul set up a very lax umask before make/compile.
The IRS, itself, had a 20 year sunset clause; it was supposed to help the US get through/recover from the Great Depression. It failed on both counts; it still exists and I still am greatly depressed on April 15th.
You're just bleeding troll juice, but I'll bite. First, you not responsible for unauthorized activity on your CCs (call company, dispute charge, end of story). Second, if any card numbers were to be "stolen" from you, it is extremely improbable that they were sniffed off the wire; more than likely they were discovered on one of your pieces of litter, i.e. receipts. Third, if you want to give up your right to privacy for negating some petty inconveniences, I promise you that I'll hire you a maid/bodyguard if you let me hook up web cams to watch you everywhere you go as well as strap a GPS transponder on you.
There's nothing wrong with providing a service and hoping someone pays for it. I'm perfectly willing to shell out cash for a good service. The problem is, it's got to be one heck of a service when there are free alternatives available.:)
I paid for Opera. I plan to pay for v7 as soon as they fix that !@#$ flash lock-up bug. I don't contribute to Mozilla... because Opera kicks its tail. I'll give mozilla.org fake info. (Heh, in fact, I'm using a shared "serial" on Opera, even though I paid for it... that's another story, tho.)
On the other hand, I really don't feel the need to pay for/.
The real problem with requiring live e-mail addresses and other info is that it gives someone opportunity. Now, I don't know you from Adam, but I bet that if I gave my credit card number to a dozen strangers (about the number of reg-req'd sites I frequent), someone would try to charge something on it. So, even if you really do stand by your word, there are thousands who don't. Whom to trust? But, if all you're after is time, I guess you win; in my case, you probably win more, due to the time it takes me to think up another "profile."
Psst... I don't even know what sort of info is being collected by him.;) If it's just email, then I suspect its a measure of control to be used to control jackasses. (Which is kind of moot, as jackasses will be jackasses... browse at -1 sometime.)
If it's more than that, though, then we have something here.
Now we must find out why my private, personal details are needed. Why must you know who I am to tell me something? On that note, do you care if I give false information? If so, what can you do to prevent it (aka email alias I use for account activation, then remove once account is active)? If not, why bother me?
I'm not trying to provoke a reaction... I'm just in a position I'd never thought I'd be in: getting to ask someone "why?".:)
Right now, maybe they don't sell your info. In a year? When the money's tighter than ever? Who knows?
That's why I have a whole list of "profiles"; aliases with fake names, fake addresses; some are mix and match - the name of a ficticious person with the address of a real business (never a residence) complete with matching fake phone number (with proper area code). Yup, sell it all you want, boys! Muahahahaha!
Anachronox had one hell of a story, lovable characters, a suck-ass combat system, a very cool universe, and some great plot twists.
It also was the most unstable game I ever had the misfortune to play. Even with all the fixes/patches, I crashed several times an hour, on average. I grew to dread quitting because it would mean I would have to try to load my saved game again, which was where most of the problems occurred. The only problem was: I was drawn too far into the game to even think of quitting.
So, there you go. Sounds like I'm going to go through the same feelings all over again while trying to get this movie.:/
Now you're just being silly. Heat is one of the very reasons why manufacturers want smaller die sizes. Less material for the electrons to push thru == less heat.
... but don't slam companies for the faults of their stupid customers. Case in point? I own several AMD processors. None are overclocked; none have any problems with either heat or stability at all. Period. Thus, the generic implication that AMD == heat == instability is false. Admittedly, I did use quality components when mounting the proc - swiftech heatsink and Arctic Silver 3 - but don't blame the company for the fault of stupid/cheap users.
Yet I've managed to be somewhat intelligent and hit the karma kap, and thus ineligible to begin my reign of moderation terror muhuhahahahaha! Oh, wait... I said "terror". That knock on the door must be the BATF and the CIA. Dammit.

lucky you! I recieved nothing but nickels in change for a small purchase with a $10 bill. It hurt when I sat down. :(

Gov'ts do not relinquish power.
Actually, no. Merely cancel the CC number. Anyone who doesn't do that immediately after seeing bogus charges if a total nimrod.
(Let's see if I can close my tags this time.)
He set us up the time-bomb!

The fact is, the vast majority of the vocal followers of this project want to use copies of games that they didn't pay for.
Wait, did I just call all the fans of this project crooks? No. The vast majority of the vocal followers are, however.
Ashcroft was pushing the CIPA. Bad, bad... for free speech, anyway.
Aside from that, he's not too bad at all.

My firewall's IP is 192.168.0.1! C'mon, probe my ports! You know you want to... *sultry wink*
... is that their silly site and login schema does not work with Opera; it is not W3C compliant. Pisses me off.

Here's an animated graphic (.mng, currently viewable only in Mozilla) of a torrent transfer.
.mngs just fine. :)
I can testify that Opera 7.03 also displays and animates
In the former Soviet Russia, bugs execute bad programmers.
That has to be the funniest "in Soviet Russia" comment I've ever seen. Good work, man!
On a side note, why the hell do I have to log in to post a reply to the parent?
... and is that not "illegal?"
..." However, this is America. :/
The proper phrase should be "should not be illegal to modify equipment
Now you're just being silly. Heat is one of the very reasons why manufacturers want smaller die sizes. Less material for the electrons to push thru == less heat.

Only problem with that is detailed by this story: when a vuln is discovered and does affect your server in the future... you're screwed.
