If somebody on Slashdot was the target of one of these lawsuits, would the community join together and help raise money for a lawyer to stand against the charges?
Coolio didn't write the song either. Listen to 'Pastime Paradise' by Stevie Wonder from the album 'Songs in the Key of Life'. Did you seriously think a rapper wrote a song?
Because then the PHB can't use AIM to chat with his friends
AIM will run on more than the default port. At my last job I ran it on port 21 to get through the company firewall. It will probably run on other ports too.
This one time, my friend told me his administrator password for his Win2k server. I proceeded to use Terminal Services to get on his system, I wrote a batch file that would infinitely append itself to the end of itself, and I let it keep going after disconnecting my session.
He couldn't figure out why his server was going extremely slow due to command.com using 99% of the CPU, and he didn't want to restart becase he was going for some personal uptime record, so he let it run for 3 days before I finally told him.
He changed his administrator password, and the problem was fixed.
Perhaps yet another reason to move away from oil based car engines.
One gallon of oil weighs 3.26 kilograms.
Last time I checked, kilograms were a measure of mass, not weight.
only about one-10,750th of the original carbon in ancient plant material actually ends up as oil
The rest of it has to go somewhere. Coal maybe? It just doesn't disappear.
I would like a little more basis from where he pulled these numbers.
Its about portability. You can't keep a nuclear reactor in your car, but a couple of tanks of hydrogen and oxygen gas is not a problem.
Second part: With current technology, everything goes back to fossil fuel (the gas used in the motors of the construction equipment to build the nuclear reactor or the gas used to truck in supplies). So nuclear or wind or solar, etc. Even though they all are getting powered from fossil fuels somewhere in the chain, it will fade out eventually.
New point: If batteries get better with larger capacity and faster recharge time, we won't even need fuel cells.
You don't have to have oil to make hyrdrogen... Water (H2O) was plentiful, at my last check, and if you run DC electricity through it, it will separate into its component gases, hydrogen and oxygen, one on the anode and one on the cathode.
Couple this with a non-fossil-fuel electricity generator and you have hyrdrogen without oil.
Living in an engineering dorm, a good gaming system made me a popular person for a while. If all you are going to do is type papers, there are plenty of free public computers for that.
Also, large hard drives full of fileshares make you popular, but I do not participate in or condone illegal file trading.
Then again, it could look worse due to the way older special effects look compared to modern day ones.

CDs already have holes in the same place on both sides. Its just a matter of manufacturers making double sided discs. The biggest reason not to is the labeling dilemma. I guess you could glue two discs back to back and hope your drive doesn't explode.
Ad-Aware has an option to backup files that you are removing. Did you do that or just permanently remove them? You could have restored the files in safe mode and that would have proven your theory beyond a doubt.

Use "id-10-t" so as not to offend them in person.

It wasn't until relatively recently that Froogle was linked on the Google home page, right? Maybe that has something to do with it.
You'll probably get an email about it later.

When I was a kid, and we went on family vacations, it turned out there was a lot to see outside of the car.
The next time you get mad at a virus, think of all the people at Symantec and McAfee that depend on them to feed their families.

That is my only virus contribution to the world.
If there weren't viruses to exploit holes, then holes would not get fixed.
If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger... something like that.
Good point, but in a science article for a university he should at least use it properly.

The first thing I thought of was overpopulation. Its already a problem in some places, now make that happen everywhere.
Also unfair distribution could lead to an upper class who have exclusive rights to things like this.

The separated hydrogen and oxygen are just portable forms of energy... a clean energy. They burn together, and the output is water vapor.
Described here. Do you know how fuel cells work?
They use a simiar process in rocket engines using liquid oxygen and hydrogen.

Recently many CDs have been coming with bonus DVDs with various things on them.

Chances are DivX won't last 20 years.

Side note, punching holes in floppies was fun.
Interesting story.

Advertisers just need to go and pay congress to make laws requiring us to view ads. Problem solved.
The new law could be called the DMAA.
Maybe its my really old monitor at work. Its not so vibrant anymore.
The blue on black theme is messing with my head.
Otherwise, good idea.
