Um, not all spammers reside in the US. What elite strike force is going to bring them to justice? Navy SEALs? No, this is a poor use of my already overtaxed paycheck when simpler (cheaper) methods will do the job. And is it just me, or isn't 6-figures a tad on the steep side for snitch work? Something about this reeks... Like another group of people looking to stick their hands in the taxpayer pot of money.
And of course this all leads to another question-- If spam is so despised and so much of a problem, why do you need a six figure prize award to get the ball rolling? Really now, I'm serious. You'd think people would be jumping in line like a "do not call list" to shut these people down for free. They aren't freakin drug dealers, for cryin out loud.
Something is very very rotten here. Not sure what it is, but it's stale, rotten and decaying like a mofo.

Can we PLEASE stop fixing the word 'hacking' to the hobby of ones choice where it really REALLY holds no relevance?! Hey, tonight I'm microwave hacking, so what sort of TV dinner would you like? We can talk about the sky hacking I'll be doing with my friend's RC plane over the weekend. What? You'll be doing some lawn hacking with your mower? Too bad. After our sky hacking session we were going to do some car hacking and put a spoiler ON MY DAMN CAR.
Using this word superfluously is starting to take on the characteristics of the word 'kool'; You sound like you have an IQ of 5, so give it a freakin' rest already.
Y'know, the recession isn't entirely to blame here. IT is the red-headed step child that NO company really wants to spend money on, and won't if they can possibly get away with it; At very least as little as possible. It doesn't help that IT is becoming a saturated market, much like all the A+ and MCSEs. Those are a dime a dozen these days and it doesn't help that you have a lot of wannabes out there to.
Frankly, you've got two strikes against you before you even get to the economy these days, which, according to every other indicator, is recovering. It just doesn't come as a huge surprise in either case.
"Mainly, the Nitrous Oxide tank has increased in size to lengthen the amount of time before the dropoff of thrust when it goes from a liquid to a gas."
So they'll be laughing themselves all the way into orbit? never know when you might need that extra 20% buzz...
"How are you. I am back. My name is mister hamsi. I am seeing you. Haaaaaaaa. You must come to turkiye. I am cleaning your computer. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. Gule. Gule." ("Gule. Gule" is Turkish for "Bye. Bye"
AMAZING. The first virus that has the capacity to destroy not only the victim's computer, but his BRAIN as well. I swear, these guys need to start hiring professional comedians to do their dirty work, or we're all screwed.
So does being done on Apple G5's constitute a washing away of all of lucas' sins, or will they have to burn the hardware in order to keep the contamination from spreding???
I've always wondered how well those little self-contained motion sensor alarms you can find at Home Depot or Walmart would fair as an extremely budget car alarm, or at very least the foundation for one. They're not more then $30 in most places I've seen and I imagine you could hook a lot of stuff into it. About the only serious problem you would have would be disarming, though most are timer activated, so that wouldn't be too much of an issue; Just feed in the code before 30 seconds expire. If sensing movement outside the car is a problem, I imagine you could place it so it's detection radius is limited.
The creative geek could link so much into this small, cheap, portable package it's not even funny.
Annnnd...? Don't take this the wrong way, but so what? They write fiction for a living. Hey, Earl, Fred and Myself are getting together and discussing the stock market. Because we're all experts in the stockmarket and our opinion will undoubtably be considered with some weight at the-- Well, Ok. Maybe we're not exactly experts. But we know stuff. Actually, we just complain how we didn't get the Microsoft stock back when and act like we know something about investment by playing 'Monopoly'.
I mean, isn't this about on level with Hollywood actors weighing in with their expert political opinions? Excuse me while I sit out this meeting of fiction authors speculating on real trends and events...
Ironically, both of which have collaborated on more than a few books. If you want some modern space history done 'right', go and hit Weber's 'Honor' series. I'm talking the modern day rise, decay and fall of socialism framed in the future tense spanning at least, what, is it six books now? Social and political depth combined with a deep tactical warfare drama that's infinitely more readable than Tom Clancy's stuff. It's a stark contrast to half the scifi's out there featuring communism and socialism being the pinnical of human government, which is even more scifi fantasy than the material itself in light of human nature.
Personally, I want the budget of Lucas' next movie put into his books just for the epic fleet engagements alone. My favorite author to date.
You've only been living with this uncertainty concerning the series for the last 15 years. We'd think you'd be used to it by now... Personally, it's become a dull, annoying throbe as of late, but that's just me.
...Well, not that you'll really have anything to do with the launch itself. But you can take tickets. Maybe do some crowd control. Oh, and don't forget my latte. Fact is, we're next to broke, so instead of hiring professionals, we're hiring you and will be keeping that 10 million for ourselves. That's fair, right? After all, you're a part of history, directing traffic and all that.
Solar Power!? Let me guess, they're not using AMDs:D
Seriously though, plug some pentium M's in there and you might be able to do the job fairly efficiently. That, and I've always wondered if you couldn't somehow recycle all that excess heat bled off by the chip itself. Kinda like the regenerative braking in cars in away...
"reporter William S. Kowinski writes about questions of the Star Trek franchise's viability due to overexposure, audience fatigue and creative exhaustion."
Frankly, there is no other reason. The fans are there, thirsty for a great new series. They will always be there... As long as the franchise owners stay true to the spirit of the creation. Sadly, that's not the case. Right now it's being ass-fucked, and everybody knows it. Should Trek die? Of course not. It should recieve a drastic change in ownership however, anything that would stop the raping it's recieving now. And don't let Shatner near it either. If Tek Wars and Star Trek 5 are any indication of his writing and directing abilities, the best you'll be doing is adding some KY.
But if the only way to save Trek is to kill it and starve the owners out of such a huge revenue stream just to get the point across, so be it.
I'm a conservative. I think Michael Moore is a liar and freakin retard. BUT, I'll give him the go ahead to try and air his movie on TV... As long as the Swift Boat Veterans are allowed the same consideration and the bitching stops about who they are funded by. I mean, who here doesn't think Moore's movies and books aren't backed by similar political interests? I won't even get into the legality of such a connection, let alone airing it within 60 days before an election, but sure, it makes great fiction considering how many his credibility has been shot to shit in outright lies.
So let's air this crap, just drop any and all pretenses that it's nothing more than guerilla political advertisement and let everybody in on the game.
Nostalgia can be ruined by pushing quantity over quality. Since they'll be packing 85 games on the disk, there will be little incentive for players to play any one game for long enough to "master" it.
But I think we're missing the target audience here. I have a tough time believing that Atari thinks they can realistically sell these to anybody who hasn't gown up with them, let alone a pokeboy. At least not in large enough quantities to make a dent in sales. No, this disc is for old skoolers who might very well attempt to master it for old time sake.
1. It mini, it's cheap, and it's cool!
Come on. Any kid whose only exposure to gaming is a modern console is not going to find these games cool. My cousin has a knock-off system with 500 clone atari games on it or soemthing, but given the choice between the DC I gave them and that thing, the clone-boy gathers quite a bit of dust.
3. The low cost games will encourage "impulse buys".
And the GBA is already there. The SP's might be up there in price, but the old style GBAs are will within impulse buy range. The games are about $20 more expensive, but then, the graphics are lightyears better AND the unit is portable.
Not saying that these aren't worth picking up, just that they won't have anywhere close to the traction with the kids as they do with us.

I'm sure it's that bastard who composed the "Intel Inside" jingle, sapping company profits with his royalties each time they run it!
"All those licensing fees for our DVD-ROMs for nothing?
Of course not! My retirement is well padded now, thankyouverymuch.
