Well, Mike is reassuringly candid and although we have not seen Microsoft's letter and the company has yet to confirm or deny its threats are real, it seems to hang together.
So The Register readily admits that they haven't seen a shred of evidence other than this kid's word that this has taken place?
It ought to be more flexible. What if I only want to send Eugenia my regards? or my best? Am I forced to give her my love? I could be running low on love and only giving out regards instead of love.
Many wasted hours with Basic & Hitchhiker's Guide....
Yes indeed. BASIC on a cartridge! 321 Contact magazine always had a basic program in every issue to try out. As far as games go, Kings Quest was my weapon of choice. Did you also have the outboard 64k memory upgrade?
I remember having to convince friends not to burn cryptonomicon after reading the first 200 pages
Cryptonomicon didn't string you along like Quicksilver does. Granted, Cryptonomicon had a bit of a snooze as a setup, but the ensuing WW2 action ensured that I couldn't put it down. I'm 200+ pages into it (I bought it the day it came out and agree with the uphill battle comparision mentioned above) and it feels like no end is in sight.
I think Stephenson pushes the reader in each book to see how much fluff they'll put up with.
This is also being done at JFK International Airport. When you leave the parking garage to go to the toll plaza to pay the parking fee, the screen next to the recepticle that takes the parking ticket says that is scanning the plates while the ticket is being read.
There were millions made when the CD replaced the LP and millions of older releases were sold to people who already had the album
This is true, but now we've reached the point where the average person can now convert their cd tracks to MP3 or other such digital formats. Who would buy a digital copy of an album they already own when they can do it themselves at no cost with little effort?
If I was a mid-level bureaucrat in the FBI, I'd make efforts to establish accountability policies, citizen review boards, etc. even if the current administration doesn't think they're necessary.
and prepare to be out on your ass flipping burgers the following day...

I always thought Mac users were odd, and this proves it.
The original title of the article was "Feel Free to Jack Off on my iPod". See what a single-buttoned mouse will do to a person?
After building their l33t pumpkin server, the geeks settled down to some D&D. After rolling a 26 and casting a spell of protection, a curious odor could be smelled wafting around the room. It wasn't the usual unwashed geek, it had a decidedly female scent.
They put down their die and walked toward the room with their pumpkin server. The door creeked open and a haunting sight was in their midst. Some of them passed out, others began weeping uncontrollably. The more dauntless of the group stepped closer, and closer to......

How come they do not mention Cap'n Crunch running around all bug-eyed at raves in the Bay Area?
Probably for the same reason they omit his "energy workouts" that he was trying to get the younger boys at H2K to do with him.
You could add a check that says if there is a knock on port 2001 or 2003 then this guy is locked out for a while.
If you're logging by IP address, it would be trivial for an attacker to try from another system at another address and try again.
I believe it was the red snapper or what was in the box.
Nothing! You get nothing! Stupid! You so stupid!!!!
This was provided that the second hatch had not failed and excrement flew everywhere.
Whoda thought that there would be real number two behind door number two.
or for the old school fans of "Lets Make a Deal"

By far, the biggest draw of the HOPE conventions over the years is the Social Engineering panel.
Just watching illustrating what Mitnick wrote about in Art of Deception displayed before a live audience is well worth the price of admission.

I bow to your superior knowledge of BttF (and your google bookmark). :)
I think you mean Dave Barry. Unless you're referring to Chuck Berry's little brother.
What on earth made you think they had the right, or the authority for that matter, to look at FILES?

You never know if those pesky terrorists found a way to make a boxcutter look like an email to Mother...
The words "fix" and "presidential election" seem to go together rather well in a sentence, considering what happened last time...

There is a very famous scream in Star Wars (Episode IV) that occurs when one of the stormtroopers falls into the Death Star chasm.
No way, I heard that scream coming from the audience during Episode I.

It's a nice, safe, social sharing event without the drawbacks and risks of disease or mental impairment.
Drawbacks?
Mental Impairment?
You'll have a heaping serving of both if you jack into an iPod full of boy band tripe. Then you can repossess the iPod on principle.
It's patent-encumbered and lossy, yet has somehow permeated popular culture
;)
True, but its freely available and the difference in sound quality between a 256k encoded mp3 and the source cd is negligible at best.
Most of the public are not audiophiles. The music lovers listen to the music. Audiophiles listen to the equipment.
I just shudder to think of people with their pants around the ankles, receiving a fax...
Keep in mind that Rotten Tomatoes just takes the average. As more reviews are added, you'll have a better idea of the score.
What's the other ~5 million going for?
Mountain Dew doesn't come cheaply, my friend....
Yeah, but thats all of one pixel of titlating panty goodness.
