The problem is when governments like Bush's gets elected they don't give a shit about those who didn't vote for them. Remember the line, "You're either with us, or against us" ?
I was thinking the same thing, it's like "golly, now they'll almost be as bad as a bank!" what an amazing improvement.
I suppose this means that paypal is going to have to set new hours of operation for their website, something like 11am till 3:30pm. I'd expect a "Down for Maintenence" page any other time of day..
Your first reaction is "oh, some scammer is posting his profile over and over again". Not so. Every one of those profiles points back to the same user account and same user profile. What's really happening here is yahoo is duplicating their user profiles to pad their results to make it seem like they have more users than they really have. Every time you change something in your profile, be it change your description, header, photo.. yahoo then makes a second account listing, but it points back to the same profile.. in the end you have 2 listings for the same profile.
I'm still surprised that no one has caught on to the fact that of the top 10 dating sites right now, at least 4 of them employ the use of fake profiles and even pay employees to chat with their members in order to get them to pay for premium membership. I know, because i've seen it happening first hand.. why doesn't anyone catch on to this?
Ever recieve a flirt/wink from another rather attractive member, only to find he/she doesn't reply back when you message them? Or how about receiving large numbers of flirts/winks in a very short period of time when your member profile contains close to no information?
Do a test yourself. go to www.mate1.com, make a profile, but profile no personal infomation about yourself. wait a week and see what happens. odds are you'll be messaged by about 15 people who are all supposedly interested in you.
This is actually a pretty common tactic. I was sued half a year ago by a former employer who believed i had stolen their code. They had the most horrible evidence that anyone who knew anything about computers would have known to be bullshit, but the judge didn't know a mouse from a monitor so he granted a search and ceasure, lucky me, they got to confiscate my computers for 2 months AND got to poke around throught all my files. Of course the judge didn't give two shits that i work from home and need my computers to earn a living as a contractor..
that's just because it's so much harder to play games on a console than on pc.
i can bet that if there was a way to network the same pc game to a console the person on the PC will handsdown always beat the shit out of the guy on the console, this holds espcially true for any time of shooter or fast paced game. I'm fairly certain halo 1/2 was made far easier for the console than pc since i had a blood hard time beating the game on hardmode while on pc (and i consider myself pretty good with fps) yet a friend of mine said it was a breeze for him on his xbox at the supposedly same difficulty level.. and he's just a casual gamer who plays a few times a week.
personally, after having read into the new shooting a lot, i feel if anything this guy watched the matrix too many times and felt he would be cool if he started shooting random people like in the movie.. that said, it isn't the movie's fault he can't tell fiction from reality.
Considering the shooting took place less than 2 weeks ago and many of the victims are STILL in hospital, you'd think a slight grieving period would be warranted before claiming it's part of history that is fair game to be represented in game form.
I'm sure you'd be all for the game if you knew someone who had been shot. I happen to live 4 blocks from Dawson College, and having spent 4 years there, i can say it's really shitty that someone's going to get some kicks out of pretending to be someone who's killing students there.
You forgot the newly defined word "Advantage", here's my new definition due to MS's "Geniune Advantage" service packs..
Here's the old definition: 1. any state, circumstance, opportunity, or means specially favorable to success, interest, or any desired end: the advantage of a good education.
2.benefit; gain; profit: It will be to his advantage to learn Chinese before going to China.
And here's my new version:

Seems to me, saving every password in a company in a central location would be the first place any hacker would go after.. and should they gain access.. you can say goodbye to that company.

I even know of Americans that somehow got health cards...
Uhh, that doesn't sound legal, since you have to be a citizen to have free healthcare benefits in Canada..
because this is only something that's come up within the past decade..
plus, american's can't just move to sweeden or canada without a visa or citizenship..
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ they've got a "help defeat cancer" program.. i run it on all my computers as the screen saver..

want to show me how to "make more than one profile" listing in the search results and have them all lead back to the same profile?
Don't be so sure.
Here's a screenshot i took on yahoo personals a little while back.

Because all those chinese are nothing but evil communists! duh..
They're against everything we stand for and hate that we're free! NUKE IRAN- err.. CHINA!
they dropped the case after finding nothing. i got stuck with $11,000 lawyer fees. joy.

Hmm, i would assume they've thought of that.. prehaps the chat is encrypted?
What's that? You're going to wait for the 80 core CPUs? I was going to buy a memron, but since yuo're willing to wait, i think will too! :D
ANYYY!!!!1!1!!one!

Let's be honest, given how often you have to reinstall windows, does anyone ever really use the "rollback" feature?
my bad :P

So, the question is, will MS do with zune as they did with the xbox and sell it at a loss just so they can overtake apple.. ?
also, why is a zune price leak in the apple section?

Dunno if i'd buy a PS3, but that's just because this is probably the only good thing i've read about a PS3..
$1000? What's that worth? 2 hotels?
You'd be better off carrying $10,000 and a pile of get out of jail free cards.

and they shouldn't care either.
