Post back with what you find. My guess is that I got it from a source that had hacked up the exe to install gator, but you never know. At the very least I'd recommend that people only download it directly from their website at www.javacoolsoftware.com.
That's interesting. I usually stick with ad-aware, but decided to evaluate some other products for use at work. Within 2 minutes of installation (The first time I ran IE afterwards), I had a popup from gator come straight up. I'm not saying without a doubt that spywareblaster contains gator from the original source, but the copy I got my hands on snuck gator in. Anyone else seen this? Did you download your copy direct or from a download mirror? (Also interesting to note is that spywareblaster, as of the last version I saw, did not detect gator as spyware.)
Or you can download the docs in pretty much any language and print them yourself if you really need them. I don't know how common it is, you sort of imply that you bought or received a package that contained these manuals with the installation source... I've always downloaded my distributions, are a lot of people buying prepackaged linux distros now?
It looks like you are writing a hate-post about clippy.
Would you like for me to:
a. Divert your post to a want ad at alt.gay.sex
b. Crash Internet Explorer and offer to send an error report
c. Crash your computer with a GPF and silently erase your harddrive
I'm concerned less with it giving off any emissions rather than it acting differently when having emissions bounced off of it. Different electronic gadgets will alter waves that are bounced off of them in different ways, very much in the way RFIDs work. It's very likely that it can be detected, as a can full of soda would certainly respond differently than a can full of GPS/Cellphone. You could also do the same thing with a sonar-type device configured to measure the density of the material inside the can. The point is, however, it's all pointless because with the amount of coke moved out in the time period that this competition will run is inconceivable. Unless the device were screaming "I'M OVER HERE, OH YEAH, AND I'M THE WINNING COKE CAN" you aren't likely to find it even if you're in the same store as it, at the same time as it happens to be passing through. Oh yeah, and to address the other post regarding them knowing the approximate location so they can rush out to it when they press the button. I say good luck to them with that. I'd find it very funny if the person who gets it happens to pick up a 12pack just before returning on a flight from Miama, FL, to Portland, OR. That'd mess up their plans to seem all cool by rushing out to the site of the can within 10-20 minutes with a TV crew, now woudln't it?:)
I agree. They had to have used a librarian or something for the library. I'd NEVER have thought to look in the places they looked, much less do it in the times they did. And I'd also like to know where they got the phone numbers when they needed to contact certain places... maybe they googled for them:)
And that would be an interesting answer in itself. My guess is that there were most likely a higher ratio of non-natives to natives in the installfest than in the country's general population. If this is true, then it would be interesting to know if (or that) geekdom trumps differences in religion. That's what I'm getting at here.
Parent has a very good question actually, even if they don't directly ask it. Hoes does the religion make-up of the install-fest compare to the religion make-up of Egypt? Are there fewer or more of any specific religion that attend? Was religion even present? What about nationalities? Did you find that natives or non-natives to Egypt were more likely to attend in comparison to the # of natives/vs non-natives in the general population?
Many LUGs even meet at libraries. I'm sure an arrangement could be made. It would serve as an excellent opportunity for a LUG to train its less clued members and to accomplish something to help their community library at the same time.
Tie a very long very large cable to it in a couple million years in order to move the earth slightly away from the sun, thus adjusting for global warming.
Story posted at 7:41, you reply at 7:43. Probably took you about a minute to type that up... so let's see... 1 minute is "been on for a while?" hmm.. okay then. I mean we're geeks, but come on how many posts did you expect in 1-2 minutes? heh.
The issue to this is that if you look at the headers that most browsers send to the site they request files from there's a referrer tag. A site owner can actually with minimal effort block requests unless they are referred from their own site... This seems like a lost cause to me.
Slashdot Mirror
no, I'm not.

and stop stealing the cocaine from the line!
All of them stated that both CDRs, RWs, AND commercially duplicated CDs were affected.
this is about the 8th time this has been posted on slashdot. seems like the editors should be required to at least read /.

Right. My Brother is the CEO of the Coca Cola Company and he says that we can believe you!

Windows is slightly larger in Egypt than America. This is mostly due to the translation files that need to be included on the disk :-).
Readiness is fine. But I'm going to have to say something about "Triggerism" Dubya are you posting on /. again?
Does this mean that you held onto the hook and threw the fishing pole at him?

If you're tired of MS ads then why are you reading slashdot? The only site with more MS ads than slashdot is hotmail.
You misread the announcement. It's slated to be released 2080 not 2008. Get your facts straight.

What's the fun in that? The only reason I read slashdot is to watch poor sites get DDoS'd by a very large group of unconnected web browsers!
Yes it did. It always is.
I like this one better:
In soviet Russia, Optional Reading comprehends you!
