I dont know, why dont we just fine the companies to which these emails link? Send a couple of them large enough fines, and THEY will resolve the porblem of spammers. No company will allow a spammer to hork their product if it ends up costing them more money than they could ever make
Um, ok 'The Bible Code' and 'The Da Vinci Code' are very different books. The Da Vinci code is not a book that claims that the bible holds secret messages about the future. It is more of a michael crichton-style murder-mystery that brings up a lot of ideas about the bible and religion that most people have not thought of. It does not claim to be a book of facts, more a new spin on topics that really cannot be proven one way or another. It is definatly a worthwhile read, if you are open to the posibility that maybe, just maybe the bible is not a completly factual record.
if your in the San Jose, CA area, RAFT takes donations of all types, and cleans/fixes them and sells them them back to teachers. They have a department spcifically for computers & computer related stuff. if you want to donate, or are a teacher looking for cheap classroom computers, i stongly reccomend them.
i agree, i may play once for old times sake, but 50cents? that is insane. I cant believe they think they will really make that musch more by charging $.50... crazyness
Anything they cant see at home, can easily be seen on a friends computer, or a school computer. Unfortunatly, all you can do is trust them. Having an active family discusson on the topic, where everybody is involvedprobably the best thing you can do...Although, porn discussion my be best for the older childern, i dont know if the younger children should be involved in that one
Um, anybody ever heard of the fifth ammendment? even if IBM did do something wrong, they could never, ever be forced to talk about it. this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.

"The sugar cuts the bitter beer taste and and leaves you with a mellow sweetness that isn't bad drinking.
While i wont dissagree with these findings, its been my personal expirence that sour skittles do a far better job of cutting that beer flavor...of course for those of us that acutally LIKE beer, this is completely unnecessary.
ok buddy, i KNOW which one it is. The calculator is not the type of thing i use on daily work, if you read my post i said "Its perfect for all those times your taking a test and just cant remember" Im sorry, but i really dont care how much I study, I feel that it is my duty as a student to use every thing i can to my advantage, and if my teacher will let me use a calculator that will tell me the integral of sin is -cos you bet you ass i will be using it, to not use it would be just dumb
ti-89...gods gift to physics students this bad boy gives me exact answers (i mean it leaves in the roots and pi's and trig functions etc..), it will do integrals and derivatives for me. its by far one of the best investments i have ever made. Its perfect for all those times your taking a test and just cant remember it its the derivative or the integral of sin that is negative. if you want to check out its functions, download derive from TI's webpage, its basicly the same thing in a hand-held form.
If they're going to use a computer to judge the content, than I'm not going to hesitate to use a computer to write my essay.
Most teachers dont give you the option, they tell you if you dont have a computer they you can use a computer lab. I just want to know who is going to design the software. If microsoft made it you could probably get a better grade just by writing it in M$word
Why dont you start a "book club" at your school. It could be a place where students could meet and trade books on any subject they like. then the school would provide the facilities.
"The MSN Messenger ban of outside clients and cited security issues... The company's Internet unit, MSN, contacted third-party providers like Trillian and Odigo with a suggestion to buy access licenses."
Using this logic, the licensing for windows should make it the most secure O/S in the world!
the real question is how i can tell everybody that i know outside of work 'no'. I mean at least you get paid at work! i know slashdotters understand me when i say that i have no desire to fix anybodys parents, aunts, or friends computer!
its all about the XGameStation!! I cant wait till this thing comes out, give the market a good kick in the anti DMCA direction! It dosent matter how good the system is, as long as its being pushed to its limits!
Intresting, when i use the macs at my school they almost never work right. Atleast when a PC stops working i can usually fix it. If a mac that im using dies, my work goes down with the computer.
wait, am i reading this correctly "it was black smoke brought on by an automatic shutdown" what the hell kindov system is that? what happens when the system crashes? does it decapitate the operators?
all this talk about ADD is so depressing, i mean i play advanced D&D myself, and i know how much time it can take up. my advice, only stop when you need to get your work done;)...sorry somebody needed to say it

ya, and how about something durable? i want something that i can throw in my backpack and not have to worry that if it gets dropped its gonna break.
a new who? I had not even heard. well, sweet, the doc rocks!
i always liked the uniballs

this is going to enforce the message to parents -- watch what your kids are doing online.
How many pr0n collection will be found by parents trying to keep their children from d/ling music...The though is just too much to bear
