the real question is if guns in the hands of civilians saves more lives than they take (remember to count fatal accidents including ones involving children). or if a highly armed populace makes the US a safer place to live.
i can make a cc purchase across town, go home and pull up my online statement and see the authorization "pending" just a few minutes later. with the name of the business, amount, and the zipcode.
sorry if your cc company sucks, doesnt mean that everyone else's does.
i would at the very least demand a written apology signed by the individual responsible for making the decision to disconnect you. or some term of free service. since it was their mistake.
it's not free. it's contractually provided. and the university network doesn't belong to them, it belongs to the government. it's not the IT department's personal playtoy to decide who can communicate to whom on the internet.
if that happened to me, the phone call to the ISP would have been to cancel my account, notifying them that I was moving to an ISP who would actually bother to check RIAA claims before disconnecting innocent users.

they were.
i remember force feedback video game controllers using variable speed motors going back to the early 80's. in arcade games too.
i remember feedback devices (including video game controllers) existing as far back as 1982 or so.
immersion's patent was filed in 1990.
i found the use of shock mode annoying in MGS and disabled it almost immediately.
in fact i disable shock mode in all the games i play because it's more annoying than anything else.
renaming to .mov doesnt make it playable either.
isnt this what the RIAA is for? it would be nice to see the RIAA beat up on real criminals for a change, and not college students.

awesome! you totally owned his ass. no need to post anonymous, makes it harder to mod up :))
and yes, he does desperately care. 13 comments proves it beyond all doubt.
few states let you kill someone in order to protect your property. they only let you use lethal force as self defense in the face of lethal force.
your last paragraph you're justifying lethal force to protect property.
iirc texas is one state where you can shoot and kill someone to protect property, eg a kid siphoning gas from your car.
file a small claims against the police or VS. attempted robbery is still a crime.
why did you stop? you get busted or something? how much did you steal and did you ever pay it back?
leave it to /. readers to get upset about credit card frauders getting caught.
when you know the punishment they will receive is worse than you could ever personally inflict. you know, pound-in-the-ass prison and all that.

if it is a public school, it is not their network. so no, he doesn't have to put up with it.

why should we think the PSP can just waltz onto the scene and take over?
er, because sony did it a decade ago with the playstation?
the only way for google to be lawsuit-safe is to avoid indexing any page with any AFP content.
google would just be using a legitimate means to protect themselves from frivolous copyright infringement lawsuits.
the only way for google to be lawsuit-safe is to avoid indexing any AFP content.
that means any webpage which carries any AFP articles or photos needs to be removed from google's index.
since AFP doesn't rely on google for anything, there's no problem in doing so.
as for afp.com? a quick null route of 158.50.0.0/16 solves the problem for me.
exactly! google can no longer safely index any page with AFP content.
removing all pages with any AFP content is the only way to be 100% safe.
the vast majority of spam i get is spanish/portuguese, chinese or korean, and hence completely irrelevant to me.
i've noticed turkish spam is on the rise though, it's now outnumbering the russian language spams. and i've just started getting spam in arabic.
prison terms sounds better.
you're thinking of john keister".
i know it's still around, it's just not the same without ira.
sorta like how scientific american frontiers wouldnt be the same without alan alda.
