They do have a customer agreement and that agreement specifies that it would only be sold to a company that would be continuing the service clear provided for the customers that still had time left on their membership. They were still pushing the $199 renew fee pretty hard even as they went out of business though.
They do NOT issue sequential last four digits any more. They used to, e.g. my mother is a fraternal twin and she and her brother have consecutive SSN's, I too am a franternal twin however, the only thing that my twin sister and I share in our SSN's is the first five digits. The last four are unrelated.
I graduated from Central Michigan University in May 2008. While the current network policies may seem restrictive, I did live in the dorms during the 2003-2004 school year, and between xbox gaming and unlimited p2p filesharing, we had to survive with bandwidth that had the throughput of a coathanger. Average download speeds would rarely top the equivelent of dialup.
I know that there is a plethora of affordable off-campus housing in Mount Pleasant, most of it with broadband included in the price of rent. If you aren't trapped by the horrible if-you-get-any-scholarship policy that makes you live on campus for two years, I strongly advise you to look into it.
This is very similar to off-road use diesel fuel, which is also dyed. It is not uncommon to see a truck pulled over and an officer checking the tank for dye.
To begin with, I have not RTFA (damn you websense!) nor have I ever played WoW. But I can give some examples of addictive games that I have played, such as Sid Meier's Pirates! As many other posters have pointed out, one of the features that they feel makes WoW addictive is the social interaction. This has no appeal for me, which is why MMORPG's haven't ever really captivated me the way most single player games have. I think that the addictiveness has to take into account both the nature of the players and also the player's goals. In the case of Pirates! the game became very addicting because the quests that would be given to you could be accomplished in about 20 minutes each. This, coupled with a fairly intuitive control scheme using just the number pad on the keyboard made for a great pick up and play kind of game, but always having the ability to complete a particular quest in 20 minutes or less triggers a "just one more" kind of play style where I lose track of time and next thing I know I've been playing for 14 hours with minimal breaks. Having short, attainable goals that tie into a long term goal provides a sense of accomplishment that produces a desire to keep on playing without interruption.
To say that it was kept somewhat secret is true, but don't discount that many, many people knew about the extermination. The prevailing theory in most circles was that most germans didn't know what was going on, but after What We Knew was published it became apparant that wasn't the case.
Most FAA rules are self-inforced. They just don't have the manpower to police everyone. For instance, if you were to build an ultralight aircraft that is capable of 200 mph no one is gonna come knock on your door and write you a ticket, unless you have been doing some incredibly stupid things like the RAF seems to be doing.
But then again they ARE fighter pilots.
All our soldiers that are U.S. citizens (at least in my unit) are required to vote. If an absentee/overseas ballot is not turned in by every soldier, the LT's and company commanders catch hell.
Keep in mind that the 250 grain.338 is going to retain ~2221 FPS at 500 yards, while the 200gr will be at ~1700 FPS. This translates into much better kinetic energy redirection, especially with a bonded bullet.
Also of note is that the author of the article says that the springfield is a bolt action that requires a manual reload. He fails to mention that the M1903A3 has an integrated box magaine that holds 4 rounds. A good rifleman can easily get 1 aimed shot a second off.

Clearly you haven't read the constitution. How about ammendment 10 - Specifically titled Powers Reserved to the States. It says that anything that the constitution doesn't say the federal government can do, the states can.
Well, unfortunitly, the state militia as mentioned in the constitution no longer exists. What the courts interpret to be it's modern day successor is the National Guard. However, if you look at notes and letters writtin by the founding fathers, you see quite specificly that they had no intention of the Federal Government funding, training, or having any control over the militia. The Federal Government provides arms(Which they are only suppossed to specify what kind the states should buy), training(National Guard troops go through basic and combat training alongside regular army personnel), and the Federal Government has on serveral occasions commited National Guards men to duty inside a state, even directly over ruling a state governer. So, the state militia no longer exists as stated in the constitution, and that power MUST fall back to the individual, NOT to the federal government as has happened.

Does the GPL require that source code of modified versions be posted to the public?
The GPL does not require you to release your modified version. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.
But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL.
Thus, the GPL gives permission to release the modified program in certain ways, and not in other ways; but the decision of whether to release it is up to you.

So, if Linksys did modify the software, they (for the most part) must release the source. If they didn't modify it, and only messed w/ configuration files, then they should be good.
All I can say is this: It was the most amateur piece of work I have seen in a long time. The CG looked rushed, the story (much like the first movie) was mediocre at best. I think the key was that we didn't get any near nipple shots of Angelina Jolie (or however the hell she spells her name).
I love and will use my sidewinder gamepad untill the day I die, but I had 3 sidewinder joysticks fail on me in under a year. In every case the joystick( or usb, for the last one) connector practically fell apart.
I got into it for relatively cheap with a late 80's car (Merkur XR4TI) and joined one of the sports car clubs that have rally divisions - the SCCA. It didn't take too much to get my car and gear in line with the rules, and find a race that was within less than 200 miles of me. It's always a rush, as long as I don't crash.
id software has always been big on open source and cross platform compatability. Hence the reason that OpenGL was used quite extensivly, and the reason that id released the source to doom, etc. This would be completely out of character and therefore, not very probable.
I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. We have only just started to convert the music, with about 13,000 albums finished. We have a rather large SAN set up to handle all of the music. It doesn't take too long to rip the music off of cd/record/tape, because we have access to equipment donated from NPR.
First off, I work for a fine arts academy, where we recently converted all of the old records, tapes and cd's we had in our music library (750,000+ albums) into mp3's encoded at 320kbps. Some of the legal issues we ran into were had to do with students copying the mp3's onto their local machines, in essence making illegal duplicates. Because the library only paid for one copy, and must pay a nominal set fee for every copy they make of the music, we either had to come up with a way to keep track of how many copies were out going and bill the respective student's expense account accordingly, or make it so that we only kept one copy and all the students had to share it.
We went with the one copy system using a web interface and streaming the music because it gave us the best accountability, and we were able to keep track of all the music's statistics using a SQL database. Because our music contract states that we cannot remove the actual music from the library, we located the 2 servers underneath the circulation desk, solving that little problem. Because of our VLANing and general setup, only non-wireless trusted clients can connect. This means that the students can log in from their dorms and listen to their music, with out having to trek a 3/4 mile across campus in the snow.
You can still play games on your PlayStation 2, and you would have to switch HDDs if you wanted to play a HDD compatable game. None are yet availible however.
The VGA moniter with Sync-on-green is need for the install, and you can use a tv as the display, but it's low resolution will not look pretty and you will have to do the install "blind".
The 8Meg memory card is needed to contain the boot up info and Playstation configuration. If you already have one, look at it under the sony memory card manager. You should see a file that has Playstation 2 configuration info in it.
For some reason, I don't see how the government's inability to quarter troops in my home in times of peace helps criminals. Seriously, though, at least get the admentment right if you are trying to make an argument.
The Center for Disease Control keeps very detailed records of how many children die each year in the United States from firearms violence. Suffice to say, I have yet to see any organization, Brady or NRA, that gets these figures right.
My friend and I went on Friday to purchase our Live kits. The salesman asked to open them to be sure that the Cd was enclosed, and not just the headset. Well the first 12 we got off the shelf did not contain the CD, and aparently the entire shipment lack them. Over 120 XBox Live kits. Luckily he had 4 more from a previous shipment in the stockroom, so we were able to get online.
