Windows ME is a evil plague unleashed upon humanity. I make sure I tell _everyone_ that mentions Windows ME to never ever ever use that atrocious POS. I advice people to upgrade to 2k or XP if their system can handle it or downgrade to 98SE if it can't. Anything but ME! Evil! Evil! Evil! It's like it comes preinstalled with every version of spyware and scumware preinstalled.
heh...I rooted my own machine like this when I forgot the password (it had been sitting for months). I took a Debian install CD, booted with it in, mounted the / partition, fired up pico, and deleted the chars that where my encrypted root password out of the shadow file. When I rebooted off the HD, all I had to do was enter root as the user to get access. Of cource I changed the password then to something other than a blank.;P

[sarcasm]Well its nice to know the nerd and IT community's opinion means exactly DICK to the rest of the American population.[/sarcasm]
At least my mom took my advice, although TacAct is an ad-laden POS as well. She asked why it was such a big deal. I had to explain the boot track as "if computers had private parts, this would be one."
It seems like its related to my patent on "A method do induce a genetic engineering situation in macroscopic organic systems utilizing pressure and temperature bio-electric sensors suspended in a protective polypeptide substrate. Further, it is intended that an organic lubricant in Dihydro-oxide solution be used to protect the subrate from damage to to excessive friction."
Sorry, my company IPWhores, Inc. has already patented that idea and is waiting for some shmu...err...has no plans to develope a product using that technology at this time.
You can not sue the government, or a governmental agency, without the permision of the government. You can, however, sue an employee of a government if they are personally negligent.
I still find it funny that everywhere I go I see cameras....stores, parking lots, parks, city streets, stop lights, interstate hiways to name a few... Yet the place that stores federal surplus equipment in the state I live in has no cameras for miles, a wide open gate, no security excluding the janitors and stock people, and even has public auctions for the state's surplus, which is in the same part of the warehouse, about once a month.
Just "don't walk over there."
Lets you know who's business they're interested more in. Yours, not theirs.
If I remember correctly, most universities with a clue have something in the AUP that says they can't use the university network for profit. They don't care about ebayers or the banner bars, but it keeps the students from hosting porn paysites and stuff like this.
Ask Kevin what 8 months in solitary is like, or what he thinks about his now quite probably streached asshole. People don't fear prison just because they can't go see the latest Britney Spears concert, you know. I personally know a guy that hung himself before he even went to trial because he feared what would happen in prison so much.
Usually one doesn't cause physical damage like that of blowing open a bank vault when penetrating a firewall. There is some "damage" caused by having to go in and resecure the software.
Yeah, notice what happend? Enron, Worldcom, etc? What happend? About 2 weeks of inconclusive rambling on the news, several thousand peons laid of, a resignation or 2, and it all quietly went away. Know what that sounds like?
The richies got to keep the lions share of the doe they swiped. Most got recieved no punishment. Those that did got off light. And the peons got taught not to blow the whistle if they actually want themselves and their friends to not go bankrupt and jobless.
Why is it the rich are treated like pinacles of society just because of the money they have?
As I said before, I'd love to have a billion dollars, and not for the spending value.
God Bless the US of A, land where equity...err...equality is the law of the land.
After I graduated highschool, I started getting flooded with calls from varius credit card companies and the military. Finally, one day I got fed up and started asking where they got my info from. After a few tries, I finally got an answer. It went something along the lines of "I don't know specifically how we got your contact information, sir. But, usually, we get them from stuff like college applications."
I can think of one. Distribution of pornographic materials to minors. (Think reality, folks.)
I can think of another: contributory copyright infringement.
And this one's gold, with all the differences in law between countries, how can you be absolutely sure that all those people in the pics are US legal to be in pornography? It might be rare, but chances are, you help distribute child pornography, even if it is accidental.
Ignoring your website, you, like everyone else in this country(assuming you are in the US), violate the law every day. Speeding (its only 5mph), spitting in public, sex (believe it or not...), standing in a public area too long, etc... Hell, I just found out I'm breaking the law by not registering my bicycle with city hall. I was breaking the law by chasing after the kids that where stealing my bicycle, and would have been charged with assaulting a minor if I had caught them, even if all I did was take my bike back.
Isn't it nice to know that if you piss someone off the wrong person you'll be picking up soap? And it'll be all nice and legal.
Granted I'm running on year old information, but isn't Chaintech known for producing POS motherboards? And anyways, a little research will show that Amptron, PC Chips, Chaintech, ECS, and ASRock might as well be the same company. (PC Chips motherboards and Amptron motherboards look surprisingly similar.)
I experienced this on what should have been routine for them by now, yet another sub7 varient. I didn't know it was sub7 at the time other than it did basically what the sub7's before it did. I tried it on a dummy box, and it waltzed past Norton Antivirus. I verified the infection when my firewall started complaining about illegal requests from the trojan phoning home. I submitted the executable as packaged, discribed its infection stratagy, removal guide, and packaged it all in a nice little email explaining that I had the latest and greatest patches and list for their current corporate version antivirus. This took me about 3 hours total, from research, infection, tracing, removal, verifying removal, formating a report, and submiting it.
About a month an a half later, I get a terse email from Symantic, stating that they already knew about sub7 and that they had had the definitions for a month now. They recommended that I should keep my antivirus updated more often. This was conveyed in a nice little way that sounded like I was some AOL newbie that couldn't tell the left from the right mouse button. Needless to say, I am no fan of Symantic now.
I would interpret this to mean the following: (no profit recycling please)
1. 4.4 of the energy is stored in atomic nucleuses and some exotic particles. 2. 22% is stored in matter we can't directly observe, but can observe its effects on surrounding objects. 3. 0.6% is electrons and other small mass particles, measurable energy, etc.
Guess: Up to 73% of the original mechanical energy of the big bang is still in the form of mechanical energy (kenetic energy + potential energy). Guess#2: Or 73% of the original ME of the big bang has been lost to entropy.
Aside Question: Given 2 objects of the same mass and potential energy at rest. Raise one of the objects to a higher potential. Does that not raise its mass relative to the first since the mass is its total energy/c^2? I remember NASA was puzzled by the Voyager probes not making it as far out as they expected them to be by now. Perhaps because they gained mass relative to us? Also, if 2 objects accelarate relative to each other and thier KE increases (relitively), does that not increase the mass, and their for the attraction between the two objects?
Heh, according to admin of 2 class B nets, he gets calls all the time from anal admins because some sap pinged a dns server on their network the wrong way. Then its either remove the student's access or end up with the other going legal on him.

I didn't say they couldn't try. I didn't say the government will always snub lawsuits especially when media coverage is involved.
Please, try sueing the IRS for extortion.

Work at home, get revenge, sounds too good to be true. Just listen to the spleal and make sure they say the 800 at the end, huh?
Would not a sphere of unimaginable size have a surface that would essentially flat?
For millenia, most of the world thought the earth was flat and people could fall off the edge. Could this just be an extension?

Bah, time to RTFA.
Yes, but they all seem to profit by shooting themselves in the foot with a machinegun.
"What the hell business school did these idiots go to?"
The Bush-Gates-Valenti-&-Rosen Business School for the Top 1%.

The problem is, do you really want them shooting themselves in the foot while they are busy stomping on you?
Heh, according to admin of 2 class B nets, he gets calls all the time from anal admins because some sap pinged a dns server on their network the wrong way. Then its either remove the student's access or end up with the other going legal on him.
