This bothers me. It sounds like a nice little loophole for telemarketers. Sorry bout the double post. I got a bit ahead of opera:)

This makes me glad I ordered a whole slew of phone tap warning stickers from CrimeThinc. I can't wait for them to arrive. Maybe it can help make a difference against the evil Patriot Act.
This comment reminds me of the South Park episode "Sexual Harassment Panda," which was just on recently. There was the landmark case of everyone vs everyone until they decided to tell the lawyer behind it all to fuck off. Sadly, real society hasn't quite made that choice yet.
For the money we sink into manned space travel, we can afford to lose 90% of our unmanned probes and still come out ahead.
For the money, yes. But missions to Mars take time, whether they be manned or unmanned. For a sample mission, let's assume that you wanted to return a soil sample of Mars to Earth for analysis. Your first 5 unmanned probes crash, malfunction, or otherwise fail. You must launch probes over a year apart from each other, as it takes a year to reach Mars (I actually think it's longer, but I'm not sure). Taking into account the build time of each probe (why build three expensive similar probes when one is supposed to get the job done?), you could get a turnaround time of 7 to 10 years on your soil sample. Now, send a manned mission that is able to both recognize and correct problems in flight. And if there is a problem with another earlier mission while the manned mission is in flight, the manned mission will have the versatility to both return a soil sample AND perform another (or many other) simple task(s) that a probe could accomplish. A manned mission could be told halfway to Mars that their mission was being expanded to include something extra, such as an attempt to grow a plant on Mars or even to unjam a stuck antenna on an unmanned probe. The true benefit of a manned mission is it versatility.
Our dollar theaters are either $1 or $1.25 depending on which one you visit. Every show of every film is the same price, except on Thursdays, when the $1 drops to 50 cents. I was never aware that there was minimum pricing on tickets, as these prices are so stable. I was always under the impression that the reels of film were leased at a fixed rate per week / day / month, which diminished over time. Example: Nemesis may have cost $10,000 for the release week, $5,000 for each week after that, and then $1,000 for another few weeks in Jan/Feb.
My guess is that there just wasn't enough theater space devoted to it. On opening weekend, there were 2 screens in town (out of 30) showing Nemesis. Showtimes were about every 4 hours... It made it difficult to work seeing the film into my schedule. In addition, I never saw it make it to the 2nd run "dollar theaters" in town either. They would have sapped another 2 or 3 bucks from me if it had. I guess the other "big" films of the season just pushed it right out of the way.
Ummm.... Purdue students can get microsoft software (including WIn XP Pro) for $5 thru MSCA. I'm sure other universities have similar programs. Last time I checked, they didn't sell NAV or McAfee at the Union. So it is quite easy to get IIS LEGALLY for $5. Not to mention the pirated copies floating around....
I had problems logging in because they partially deleted my account after I had connection troubles (very long story). I ended up demonstrating to the tech that my account info was damaged on their end by logging in to PPPoE with a newuser name and password I found buried deep inside the Macintosh instructions. This username allowed me to only access pages on sbcyahoo.com and related domains. From there, I could register a new name (and I tried to many times). I think the relevant info was under the OS X section, as OS X has PPPoE built in. They provided a temporary userid/password and the website at which to point your browser to set everything up. I could have done it all with my Linksys router if I'd really wanted to. No Windows required.
Will, youse just give me and silent bob your phone number, address, bank numbers and some time with your fine-ass wife and we'll beat the shit out of anyone you want. Snoogans.
The article doesn't mention Opera. Anyone know if it is vulnerable> I certainly hope it isn't. Mozilla is marginally functional at best, and slow as molasses. Having Opera fail would mean there is NO Win32 browser that is safe to use. My bank's gonna be pissed if this gets out too far after their "Safe, Secure, Internet Banking" campaign. Oh worry me.....
This is a wonderful oppertunity to use Knoppix or another similar, customized Linux-On-CD. Just lock the cd drive (or have the main case behind the librarian's desk) and you're good to go. an external floppy or zip would take care of any need to save information. It'd protect anonyomity and eliminate any records to search, as the OS reloads from CD every time it is booted. No hard drive is even needed. Just a little time for the initial setup.
Basically no macrovision defeaters are openly sold, but not because it would violate copyright law. When they first developed the macrovision scheme, the makers worked out every way to defeat it that they could come up with and patented them all. So a macrovision defeating device does not break copyright laws. It breaks patents held by the makers of macrovision.
After reading about it on Slashdot, I downloaded Knoppix 3.1 (I love my Cable Modem), disabled my hard drives in BIOS and booted it. Here I am, 10 minutes later. This is a truly amazing peice of software. I just might take it to Best Buy or a computer lab at the local community college to get some weird reactions. Convertomg people to Linux by abandoning CD-R's in public computers just might work. The only problem that I ran into was having to reset the H-Size scaling for my LCD panel. But all-in-all, an EXCELLENT package.

Don't you love over generalizing things?
That's wonderful if you live close enough to the phone company.... All the telco offers here is iDSL (ISDN+DSL prices, ISDN speeds, gargantuan install fee) Nobody except those that truly NEED the bandwidth (businesses) actually have it. Everyone else is on AT&T cable modem
the most used key would probably be w, as in www. and it won't necessarily be in his pw. if he lived in an english speaking land, probably rstnl and the vowels would be the most used... you only have to log in once to type a very long document, you know....
according to this article on cnn time is money. so in fact, time is the root of evil. but time is what keeps everything from happening at once, so it must be evil to not do everything simultaneously.
you're paying $2 for a pack of cigs!?!?!?!? You're getting screwed, buddy. Try going to the discount tobacco stores in your area. Cigs go as low as $1.10 a pack and "little cigars" for $1.50 / 2 packs. Do some price shopping, buddy.
I recently bought my first cell phone. I shopped around the few places in town, trying to determine who could meet my needs the cheapest. I needed to be able to contact my girlfriend 150 miles away cheaply and often. We'd been going through about $150 in phone cards monthly and needed to majorly cut that back. After explaining this, they tried to sell me a 300 minute a month plan. We've been known to go through 300 minutes in a day. Then they tried a few plans in the thousands of minutes, but they were rapidly approcahing the cost of phone cards, and for fewer minutes. Their main argument was that they had excellent nationwide coverage and none of their competitors' networks actually functioned. I left in frustration and signed up with a regional provider who offered unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes on their network, so I got 2 of the cheap plans and am now saving over $80 a month. In conclusion, Verizon sucks. Little guy rocks. Sounds like microsoft and linux:)
