I don't have a cell phone (yup, there actually ARE people without 'em) but I think there should be a way to get credit for the minutes that Spam costs a receiving cell.
The answer is simple. My previous provider, Verizon, used to charge me for incoming SMS, although I requested them repeatedly to turn off that feature. Now, I'm with MetroPCS, I don't get as much spam as I used to have with Verizon, and as an added bonus I don't get charged for any of it. The free market did work in this case.
It's much more involved than just "standing in front of a projector" since it appears in this case that the projector is inside of the object. Take a look at the one video where he holds a ball and a brick and waves them around.
I repeat, the projector and the camera are not inside the object (or the cloak). In the case of the ball for instance (in the second movie), you can see that the background was prerecorded, otherwise the head of the kid would have appeared in the projection (because it was behind the object).
Regardless of how it's done, it's still very impressive.
It's a cheap magic trick, that's all. It seems very impressive until you begin to understand it. Unfortunatly, once you begin to understand how it's done, you feel cheated because the trick is so simple and very limited in its use.
They refer to it as "camouflage" as well, not invisibility.
This is not an invisibility cloak, it is more like a invisibility studio. The camera and the projector are not inside the cloak, they are outside of it.
If you want to test out this "invisibility" principle yourself, just stand up at the screen of a movie theater the next time a movie is playing. Depending on what you will be wearing, you will become partially "invisible" to some of the audience, but do not expect any standing ovation for your scientific discovery.
Chances are, the "anonymous donor" is the company providing the service. I don't think there is a conflict of interest here. Companies are allowed to give away their services/products if that's their wish. The reason the transaction is kept anonymous is so that the company can pretend the University is one of its customers.
If "Just about everything created by that culture was racist (as it was in most of the world)" then why not label early Tintin as racist?
You can label things whatever you want, but what I'm worried about is that those books get banned from school libraries as a result of being labeled racists. If it happened with Tom Sawyer, it can happen with Tintin. There are different degrees of racism, some of it is just cultural insensitivity and some of it is willful mean-spirited race-bashing. And I don't like to see both those types to be lumped together in the same category.
Yes, and don't you think that the best way to be sure that the people have reasonable access to the airwaves, without clutter and interference, is to provide some rules (regulations) for access? The roads belong to the people, but without traffic lights, things would be a mess.
In my company, an IT support guy fell for it and sent out the email to all our eleven thousand employees. It was about the Jamaican area code hoax.
I did reply back with a url saying it was a hoax, but i never got a reply back. I suppose he was probably busy for a few days deleting all the replies telling him this was a hoax.
From the writeup it sounds like it's mostly corporate/gov't/military types looking to get a look at The Enemy from the inside.
From the actual people interviewed in the writeup it sounds like it's mostly unemployed inarticulate high school kids who were given the class free-of-charge because they were friends of the instructor.

Hackers are believed to cost global businesses billions of dollars every year, and the costs to defend against them are soaring. One study by Good Harbor Consulting showed that security now accounts for up to 12 percent of corporate technology budgets, up from 3 percent five years ago.
"This is definitely bleeding edge -- so bleeding edge in fact, sometimes, that it's frightening," said Loren Shirk, a student in the class at Mt. Sierra College who owns a small-business computer consulting company.
This program seams like a stripped down version of computer science for people who are only interested in security related work.
No, this program seems like a stripped down version of computer security for people who are only interested in the stupid media-prestige that the term "hacker" might bestow.
What did the guy invent anyway? He launched a new format, that's the only thing I could see from the article. Launching a new standard is not synonymous with being profitable. As an executive, his primary job is to make his company profitable, it's not his primary job to launch a format.
He didn't invent DVDs. He didn't invent the laser. He didn't even invest his own resources in this technology, his company did. Not only, this guy is taking the credit for something he hasn't invented, but now he's complaining now that he didn't make enough money. Sheesh.
However, apparently no one follows this law. I see plenty of businesses that attempt to limit their gift certificates, some even for only 6 months.
In California, the cash value doesn't expire period, but it's the same thing where it comes to employee ignorance, the person working the register usually doesn't know the law.

I'm guessing that if your company expensed the options, it would make their financial situation significantly worse.
No, you're guessing wrong. Like the parent post said, his options aren't worth anything, and chances are he is not going to be offered any options any time soon.
The people that should be worried are the *executives* of the company. Nowadays, the only people benefiting from options are top executives. When their options aren't worth anything, they simply reissue themselves a new batch of options at a more attainable strike price.
Masterbation is not evil, it's safe sex, and I would think the religious crowd would be supporting it to some degree. After all, what practical solution would YOU offer an ultra-horney 16 year old boy or girl? (yes, normal girls get horney too, get over it). That's right, tell them to solve their problem, but do it alone, and leave the stuff that has adult consequences for when they're an adult.
I saw this in Budapest ten years ago, but it probably wasn't a paternoster lift. The one I saw did indeed reverse the cabin, so it was probably a precursor to the paternoster, it looked really really old.
It's not prison I suppose, I just think colleges putting these restrictions on students is, well, evil. No one can really grow as an individual if you're sheltered by your parents, then your college.
And some parents require their adult-kids to attend local nearby colleges so they can force their kids to live at home while studying. That's life.
For every choice we have available, there is a price we have to pay for that choice. Get over it. Stop talking like a victim. Like the other poster mentioned, you can disown your parents and become independant if you really want to. Most kids would never do this, but the choice is there nevertheless.
If the campus is going to run like an ISP/business then your arguement falls flat. Every ISP I've ever dealt with in NE has a very long agreement dictating the exact terms of service. For example, when I first signed up with Comcast, I was required to provide a Windows computer. No other OS was (and I believe still is) allowed by the TOS. Is it enforced- obviously not. But they still had to come out and install their software on my Windows box.
My ISP, Speakeasy, allows Linux in its very long TOS. And no, they didn't need to come out and install anything.
Have you seen www.bugmenot.com ? They have a very handy little extension for Mozilla/Firefox too which gives you logins for registration required sites.
Yes and no. I looked at bugmenot, but this is the first time I hear of a Mozilla extension. I'll go check it out. Thanks.

I was responding to the parent posts.
And chances are, this cell-phone tracker can probably track your jammer, so be careful with it.

...and in case you don't want to get your own domain, you can still do the same thing for free if you get yourself a spamgourmet.com address.
I don't think it's a question of intelligence. Sometimes, the answer to a problem is so simple, some people just can't see it.
This advice is so dead-on. It should be modded up. Unfortunatly, simple advice doesn't always get modded up even if it's dead-on.

Good point, but your road analogy is slightly flawed.
Or check out spamgourmet.com in case you want to use this type of service without having to install it.

Masturbation is wrong and unhealthy, here are the facts.
