Gmail needs a few things to compete with yahoo just yet.
It needs pop/imap, and synchronization with outlook or (in my case) evolution would ROCK.
Second, they need to offer domain email hosting. I use yahoo mail right now because I can have yahoo mail host my domains email. It costs like 15$ a year, and saves me the trouble of running a PHP crapfest (like squirrel mail) on my server. I am dying to get away from yahoo because I'm tired of their evil bullshit (blocking gmail invites, tracking their users, blocking the linux yahoo client... the list goes on), but what can ya do?:)
Yep, adelphia cable seems to base your IP address on your MAC address. If I need to change my IP address I just change my routers MAC address, sometimes my subnet even changes.
It is *terrible*. Briefly: the author invented a rule based method for classifying email, and then added a few paramaters so he could call it a "learning algorithm". As if adjusting the ratio of links to words will allow you to detect spam, then he seems to throw in a Neural Network for no reason.
I think about the only good thing I can say about this article is, at least he's not out killing puppies.
could not manage their way out of a wet paper bag.
Yea I worked for a few. Let me recount my 3 days employment at "minka lighting":
"Our platform is solaris on intel, windows, and SCO. One of your first assignments will be to do something about our spam problem, we seem to get about 5000 spams a day."
"Great, I'll install and train a copy of dspam..."
"We don't host our own email, SBC does. And we don't allow linux."
"But SCO is linux?"
"..."
"I see, I need to take friday off for an interview."

yea, what I was trying to say was something more like "false in one, false in all" (whats latin for that again?). They've already fucked up big time and done incredible evil, why should we trust them we now? And it seems we agree
Score one for Europe! Who the fuck wants to find out if monsanto (the most evil company in the world, literally) has been responsible with GMOs by dying? You know they've poisioned whole counties in the US, right?
You should take your own advice buddy:) Despite your spelling, 1984 is neither "si-fi" nor "sci-fi". Infact, there is almost no technology in the story whatsoever, save for two way television.
Yep. They are used to being able to gouge the customers. My father wanted to buy a truck, and unlike the rest of us, he has enough money he can just up and pay cash for it. He went to the local Toyota dealer, negotiated a price on it, and then the guy comes back "oh Im sorry, this model has such and such, its a little bit extra" ($1200!), so my father renegotiates, they shake on the deal again, the guy comes back, "I'm sorry my manager won't let me sell it at that price, he says it has to be at least..." At which point, My father says something like "fuck you" and the salesman looses the easiest sale of his entire life.
Um, WTF are you talking about? The POT release is *the* worst, most amateur cam release I've ever seen in my life, ever. The image is framed terribly (you're missing a big portion of the screen), it constantly flickers, the sound is almost inaudible, and to add insult to injury, they used *3* wrong formats distributing the thing. They rar'd iso's of VCDs? 1 gig? WTF? Distribute a 250 meg DIVX and let the lamers still using VCDs transcode it themselves.
No. Baggage has to be tracked during transport. I agree with you RFID can and will be abused a number of ways, but tracking baggage will not be one of them.
And the reason is! |drumroll| Bags are already tracked!!:) Its just by those stupid tags they stick to your luggage. So it doesn't really matter, regular tag or rfid tag eh?:)
Hydroelectric dams provide bountiful, clean electricity, at a fairly reasonable environmental cost. If China is embracing hyrdoelectric, I say more power to them.
Know much about china? They have tons of dams that protect 10's of millions of people from chinas natural state, which is merciless flooding. I used to know a lieutenant colonel and we talked military strategy alot (it was better then working:-)) and he told me were we ever in a serious war with china, the first thing we would do is blow up their dams killing 10s of millions of people, crippling them. Which is why we'll probably never get in a war with them. Their dams are indefensable from a tactical perspective (say from a long range missle).
Can someone explain how the IP addresses are still routable if they've been "moved" to a new ISP? My brain tells me this would only work under rare circumstances.
Keeping in mind this was almost a year ago, here's the best of my recollection:
Here's the situation: The defendant is on the witness stand and his translator is sitting next to him. It was a very small court room, and he was sitting not more then 2 meters from the jury box. They were questioning him about something, each time he would wait for the translator to speak then give the answer to her in spanish, and she would say it in english.
I'm sorry I don't remember the contents of the conversation, but I do remember roughly what happened. On cross, the prosecution asked a question and then misunderstood (either on purpose or by accident) the translated answer. Prosecution repeated the question, and once again misunderstood the translation, so the defendant addressed the prosecution directly (instead of his translator), and in *perfect* English, with *no* accent whatsoever and explained what he had meant.
He clearly spoke english as well as any of us did. From that point, logically if he was lying about not speaking english, it was almost ceartin he was lying about the confessing, and the police officers who had testified that he spoke perfect english while he gave his confession were not.
The importance of him claiming he only spoke spanish was that he confessed to the police, in english, and claimed HE ONLY SPOKE SPANISH, so he coudln't have confessed.
Not only did his slip up demonstrate he *understood* english, he spoke in perfect english on the stand.
Also, most crimes that go to court result in conviction (well over 90%).
I would like to tell you about a criminal who wasted a week of my life:)
I got called in for jury duty, and was assigned to a case of a fellow who sent his g/f into a burkes outlet store to steal clothes for him, and then when she was caught, punched out the security guard. There was videotape of the g/f, but none of the punching. To make things worse the guy confessed to the whole thing.
We weren't allowed to know this, but it was pretty obvious this was a 3rd strike case (mandatory life sentence). His defense was, he doesn't understand english, didn't confess (the lawyer claimed the police were lying), and he just saw a guy trying to harass his g/f and tried to help her.
That may or may not have been a good defense, however... At one point during the trial while he was testifying, the lady who was translating for him got a bit tongue tied, and was behind in the translation. He jumped the gun, and he answered a question *before* the translation arrived -- In perfect english.
The real crime is the defense lawyer wasn't disbarred for suborning perjury.
They did, it was called "The Passion of the Christ", and it sucked.
Moore's problem is he doesn't know when to quit, the k-mart incident you mention was just terrible to watch, but the movie as a whole had a very valid point, which was "The US is uniquely violent for some reason, and the sensationalist media tries to scare people to keep them buying things." If every person in the US could learn that lesson, we'd be in ALOT better shape don't you think?
I haven't seen FH911 yet, but I am told that moore has learned his lesson and taken himself out of the film, and primarily uses footage of bush himself to make his point. I can't wait:)

Could you maybe get the lower price by setting up a loan and paying it off the first month? Or do they have fees for paying it off early?
Yep. They are used to being able to gouge the customers. My father wanted to buy a truck, and unlike the rest of us, he has enough money he can just up and pay cash for it. He went to the local Toyota dealer, negotiated a price on it, and then the guy comes back "oh Im sorry, this model has such and such, its a little bit extra" ($1200!), so my father renegotiates, they shake on the deal again, the guy comes back, "I'm sorry my manager won't let me sell it at that price, he says it has to be at least..."

Clearly, it should be called "Fraudster"
If you want to understand whats happening now, read 1984 and then watch Brazil.
