It could be that a few outliers caused the average to rise. Most computers might have fewer than 90, but a few dozen porn addicts and/or bonzi buddy lovers could have thousands of spyware bits each.
Dumping all that extra heat into the environment isn't really an option after a certain point. No one wants computers which will raise the ambient temperature 15 or 20 degrees in a bedroom (AMD and P4 jokes aside)
As I understand it Sun has been willing to take a hit at universities, since they figure you'll get used to their machines and request Sun hardware when you get into the business world.
I agree with you in principle, however the effect seems to possibly be the exact opposite.
I don't think I know anyone in my department who enjoys using the sun labs even for something as mundane as internet or email, but after a few semesters of being forced onto Sun boxes (one of two models, forget which offhand) to use Mentor Graphics and other discipline-specific software, about 99% of the electrical and computer engineering students positively loathe anything with Sun's name on it.
I know I won't be particualrly requesting Sun hardware anywhere I work unless at some point I get to use a differently (properly?) configured Sun machine and find it to be a much more rewarding experience
If it's not already transferred into her name, he didn't really give the domain to her. The site might have been created for the girl, but if his name is on the bill, it's his.
The Allman Brothers are taper-friendly, but have a strict no-electronic-trading policy, and tapers don't want to risk the former by breaking the latter,
I'm curious about the logic of that statement. Have The Allman brothers (Who i'm not familiar with at all) given a reason for the line between digital and analog recordings?
Alright, here's my signals and systems, microelectronics and Network theory I and II books, I'm sure after you've read them cover to cover you'll know just as much electrical/computer engineering as i do.
Only you won't, because I've had access to a lab, materials, a clean room (which I seriously doubt you have in your garage) and several professors and TAs which all have explained and added insights to the book material to increase my understanding of it. Reading text only goes so far, and while it may be far enough for some disciplines, for many it doesn't scratch the surface
I couldn't actually tell you my passwords, and could swear to that in court without perjuring myself... "I" simply don't know them. But I can type them with no problem.
I believe you, as I've run into that situation before (not knowing the password but being able to type it perfectly without thinking too hard about it)
I did in a way. I was sick of leaving my various email addresses unattended for a week and coming back to find they'd been bouncing messages cause the inboxes filled with spam. Google combined the relatively spam free approach with a huge inbox, so no more "We're sorry this recipent's inbox has reached its maximum size" crap ever again
I thought the same way as you when I got Gmail, but my stored email is up to 106 megs in a year, with only a small fraction of that having any attachment at all to jack the storage space usage up. I'm sure I'll use that gig eventually.
By then hopefully Gmail will either upgrade the space or provide a way for me to download it for backup
Why should the injured party not be expected to be responsible for themselves and contact a lawyer, rather than the other way around, lawyers fishing for cases, which could result in meritless crap clogging the courts
As I keep mentioning in my posts. I'm employed at a small independant bookstore. It's funny to watch my coworkers when they encounter an unsigned or "see ID" card. They always, without fail ask for ID (Our boss is an e-fraud paranoiac and chews our asses if we dont) BUT...what do they do?
Compare the name on the CC to the drivers license. Signature? By the time the reciept's been signed they have, 99% of the time, handed the card and ID back.

I wonder what the penalty is if the saudi government catches you doing this. If it's stiff, then the risk factor might play a hefty part in the pricing
There have been plenty of innovations in Windows since win95. But guess what, not only are they not useful to everyone--Think of the quintessential grandma who does nothing but check her email--if her win9x system does that to her satisfaction why SHOULD she upgrade?
Also consider places where old OSes are embedded into a system or bussiness: The bookstore where I work uses thin clients running a horribly out of date IBID software. Sure brand new celeron based PCs using cash register software might be sexier, but guess what, those thin clients and their old OSes do the job. Why upgrade?
How is it that a person who for whatever reason, chooses not to complete the promotion is "getting screwed"? Seems to me that's the way it ought to go--if you don't fulfill your end of the bargain, you don't get your toy.
If the destination account was in a country who's laws make it advantageous to bank there (Think the Caymans, or Switzerland for example) or a country that doesn't particularly respect the victim's home country, getting your dollars (well, pounds) back is going to get alot harder, if not flat out impossible.
Of course, the thief would reveal his account number, which can be tied to an identity (or at least a contact) but the difficult issue is leaning on the bank to give up that information.

That would be creepy.

I didn't even know that button did that until reading your comment and clicking it to see :P
Wow, it even mangles the rendering just like slashdot...

Good point... I'd wonder though, if 5 gallons of oil has more or less hazardous stuff in it than the mfr process for alkaline batteries

However, good luck convincing a judge of that.

I hate to break it to you, but any email server scanning your messages for spam filtering purposes is "reading" them as well.

Bullshit.
A program's uninstaller should never, ever touch files that aren't part of the program.
I'm not saying you're lying, but I don't see how that works unless by removing the space the PC was taking up you get to ptu two people at a desk

I believe some financial institutions give you this protection on their own.
