I'm confused. Your point is that/. users would add 'terrorist-like' tags to the end of thier emails to over fill a parser device that saved all suspect email. Your trying to say that because some people might have done this it's the faults of lamers who trade p0rn?
I don't think this argument can hold any weight. I honestly think that the majority of/. readers do *not* trade files, or engage in warez activity. IRC is the forum for those clowns, slashdot has a fairly high level of 19-28yr. old people in the IT/tech industry, with another segment of 'nerdy' teenagers who are fairly clean. I'm not going to deny that there are some lamers here, but the general populus they are not.
Before 9/11 carnivore was such an absurd system that it was absurdity. I do not agree to any form of blanket-wiretap, if such a tap existed, I would have my telephone lines encrypted. I do not have anything to hide, BUT they do not have any reason to know that. I severly doubt that anyone who has any respect in this world would dare to put terrorist-like messages in thier emails post 9/11, it's simply not kosher in this era of post-crisis nationalism.
I would guess that carnivore instead accidently collected *all* emails/communications that passed through it, weither they were the target or not. This was not the intended behavor, so they made a big deal about it and tried to cover it up. Typical behavior (I'm not for/against it, I'm just stating this is likley what happeend).
I have no objection to the type of wiretap they imposed against mafiaboy (he could only get one of a set of ip's, they tapped his phone line, very specific packet sniffing), I am against this sort of blanket 'big brother is watching' actions.
Before you reply, I'd like to make it very clear, I am 100% for selective wiretaps with a judges approval. I am not for the ability to bypass the judge, and I am not in any way supportive of the police acting in thier own authority when it comes to extended spying.
I did the same thing two weeks ago, it was 380 for a p4 1.7gig and the works. I spent another 190 on a graphics card (I'm not that big of a gamer). It was significanlly cheaper than my system origionally was, because I didn't have to buy a new case/hd/dvd/floppy/nic/sound card, you will be amazed at how much those save.
Asus p5a with an amd k6-III 450 3.3v is the most unstable mobo/cpu combination I've ever seen.
I don't buy asus anymore, because they refuse to acknowledge the problem, even though I know 3 other people who have it. I have replaced every single component (even the powersuply) and the random reboots still happened.
I went p4 on my most recent system because of my bad experience with the asus motherboard, and I've seen very few p4 mobo's that were unstable.
aluminum isn't horribly conductive, you would be much better off attaching a more conductive metal to the great majority of your heatsink, then running that over to a side of your case.
Also remember, your going to want to be able to insert/take stuff out without a tourch..
my brother had one of those, I did a little playing with my tourch last weekend, and it's all good now.
It was really really bad to, you could literally rock the mobo back and forth, disconecting the various cards, without unscrewing anything.
it was some no-name case I bought years ago from computer renisance (I liked the outside, I wish I had opened it up back then), and they don't get my buisness anymore =p

no, I'm saying we don't know enough about the world around us to try and understand the insane complexity of interaction that is the brain. It very well could be using some sort of extra-dimensional process; but I'm saying we don't know if it is or isn't yet, it could also just be some basic law of quantum-ish mechanics that all the synapses use to organize and stuff, but who knows.
almost the whole dlink.com site is fubar, but I'm almost positive it's because of shoddy coding, as it's looked identical in mozilla since about 0.4, and it takes roughly 6 seconds to render in IE

4 yr. premed (at a decent school, if you want a chance in hell of making pharm school). 2 yr. pharm school (memorize every drug ever made, ect).
You will need a 3.7+ from premed to even get a shot at pharm school.
You will work 60-90 hour weeks, and make 40-90k a year (avg starting is around 65k). If you want a 40-50 hr. work week, you will need to work at a hospital, and your pay will be just over 55k.
It's awfully glamorized, but all the phamacists I know don't seem to be making a killing or enjoying thier jobs alot. Not to mention it's just about as hard as becoming a doctor, with exactly the same amount of competition for pharm school.
You would have better luck earning the same becoming a PHB, unless you really think it's your thing (some people really like it, I've met 2 pharmacists who seriously enjoyed thier job), you should choose a better major because you will not enjoy it as much as you think, and the money isn't *that* great.

*Exactly*, it's sad that I was trying to explain to my friend -- a second year CS major at the Univerity of Iowa, that CS was a science. And he replied with "no, CS majors are programmers and the like".
I wonder what CS/CE will be like in 20 years, with people like this entering the field for the past 10 years or so.
I honestly don't think you could ask any high school student coming from the current high schools what CS was, and get a valid reply. It's almost pitiful how the field has been is equated with that 70k/year job working for `Excite' doing basic web work 3 years ago, and even a great deal of the CS majors don't understand the diffrence.
has microsoft ever released anything that wasn't bought by buisness that ended up being popupar?
I think not.
They got where they are by being 'the pre-installed os', and office grew because people 'needed it to talk to the office'. I dare you to show me a hit, that they charged real green $$ for, that was not a buisness item.
