Daniel Peng, one of the defendants at Princeton, may think that the lawsuit was "settled amicably", but I do not think that this is an "amicable" settlement. In fact, I am outraged.
They will pay for what they've done.
Hey RIAA, if you see a nerd dressed in all black wearing a trenchcoat, ala
"the Matrix", coming into your building...DUCK!
They'd only get in trouble if someone complained. In this case, we're talking tax fraud which involves the government and their friendly IRS attack dogs. With a fax scam, an investigation would turn up the originator's phone number. Try that with e-mail spam being bounced off some open server in China.
That goddamned microscope puzzle was the one thing I couldn't beat.
I bought the 11th Hour and somewhere along the game, they had a similar game with a honeycomb filled with blood and honey. I actually beat the computer on the first try! And then the damn thing locked up. I gave up on 11th Hour after that:(
Not exactly. It was lowest minority or woman owned bidder. Sadly, they were some of the most incompetant businesses I have ever seen. The only thing that saved us was a change in policy where managers were given corporate credit cards with a $500 limit to do as they pleased.
One of the things I noticed about working in a NYC government backed institution was their inexplicable ability to "back the losing horse." During my tenure, we had a network based on Token Ring, routed by Bay routers, on a Novell network, and editing documents using Word Perfect. No joke. We must have spent millions as an organization on Token Ring cards for every laptop and PC.
I would have rather Turner had spun off all of their anime and "edgey" shows into a Toonami network. It could have been a nice mix of stuff like the Adult Swim line up with hardcore anime shows mixed in. Anime is good, if taken in moderation.
Which is why there was much backslapping when a Chinese archaeologist
claimed to have found a fork in a cave in China dated to about 3000 BC - it's
not that they have not discovered forks, it's that they have moved
on.
How do you know if the Chinese inventor of the fork just didn't market his or
her idea well enough for it to catch on? Either that or maybe people resisted
the change since they didn't want to give up the simplicity of braking twigs off
trees to eat? Just because a technology is superior doesn't make it the popular choice.
The 666 bugaboo has been attributed to so many different things, it's impossible for anyone to take it seriously. The pope, Ronal Regan, barcodes, socal security numbers, driver's licenses, you name it.
Based on the reports since 9/11, the government can already monitor cell phone conversations. Most new ones have GPS built in, so not only can they hear you, they can tell where you are when you say it.
Don't forget, "Does it run Linux" and "Can I make a TiVo out of it?" and "Who could possibly want this thing when you can buy a [XBOX, Walmart cheapo computer, PS2 running Linux]?"
Of course, Verizon could just adopt a policy of keeping NO records whatsoever. Then, there would be nothing to actually hand over. Trouble is that once the spammers, script kiddies and
pedophiles find out that their access is truly anonymous, all hell breaks loose.

Keeps the FP away!
I had thesame problem. I tried viewing them with the Divx player instead of Windows Media Player and it worked fine.
So if I wanted to get my competators in hot water, all I'd have to do is spam people with a link to their product. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Useless quote for fp!
If he were a humanities student he would have known how to spell his post right.
Have you ever seen what passes for a college student these days?

So where's your evidence?
Baloney. There's been countless tests that prove there's no perceptible difference between tube amps and transistor amps. It's all in your head.

How is he expected to go on interviews to find a coperable job when he's got to work 9-5 doing menial work?
There was a character in Spaceballs called "Pizza the Hut." Why didn't Pepsi sue?
It's a good thing that modern loggin companies plant new trees when after they cut them down. Too bad a lot of enviro-wackos forget that part.
Could it be?
