Would this be like a company having an electrical outlet that is not secured?
Panhandler breakdancers can come and plug their Panasonic 'Super-Bass' Ghetto Blaster Mark 12 into it, and spin on some cardboard.
They are stealing electricity; they didn't pay for it, however the company is at fault for not securing the outlet. Much like the reaction you will get from the insurance company if you leave your keys in an unlocked car and it gets stolen.
The breakdancers are not depriving the company of electricity; the light in the executive washroom does not go out when the Panasonic 'Super-Bass' Ghetto Blaster Mark 12 gets plugged into the street level outlet.
If the company notices the breakdancers, they can get a locking plate and put it over the outlet.
If they do this the breakdancers may still show, but wont be ABLE to steal electrictiy. (Unless they bust off the cover, but then you get into the whole 'hacking' thing which I won't go into here)
Warchalkers are guilty of nothing but graffiti. What Nokia is trying to do is foist corporate responsibility on citizens!
Nokia doesn't want to be responsible for thousands of unsecured networks, so rather than help fix the problem, they are passing the buck to legislators who, as always will go after the symptoms. Which means that citizens will become criminals for nothing more than pointing out a problem.
My pal would pay his little brother a nickel to 'do the circuit' in Super Mario Brothers. Little brother would jump down into a cave, get a bunch of coins, come back up the other side. Repeat.
Apparently, he sat there and did it for several hours while my pal went to a movie and got some grub. Came back, little brother handed the controller to him, and my friend started playing.
A little brother will work for many games where repetition is necessary. You might also want to try this with other small children. Neighbor children can be used in a pinch, under the guise of babysitting, or collect your own!

I have super big pipes on my Civic and a VTEC badge and an "R" sticker and a "Powered by Honda" decal and TWO white racing stripes down the center, so my Honda can go 340 at LEAST before terminal velocity.
I can totally blow the doors off of any Mustang, so watch out! My plate says "00wnzU".
I mean they are going to be in this episode. I'll be watching with a beer in hand and wishing I had a TIVO. I'm sure they are going to *stuff* the breaks w/ commercials.
I feel bad for those New Yorkers who won't be able to record it.:(
If Cablevision can't return the boxen to their 'pre-DRM' state, I say, "GO Cablevision!"
I'd love to see a month go by of restricted service, followed by a huge angry mob of New Yorkers going down to Cablevision and 'fixing' the problem.
Too bad it's not hosing up analog RCA outputs too.
I think the t(h)reat of death and dismemberment by the largest city in the U.S. would stop any little pussy company from fscking with my fair use rights.
I have ALL WD drives from the early 90s to today, (2 - 40 gig 7200rpm) and they all work perfectly. They have been removed, reinstalled in different cases countless times, knocked over ect. and never a problem. I even have a 720 Meg from years ago that was making icky noises, that I got from a *thrown* (across a room) together pile! of misc. computer parts. I reformatted it a couple of times; it works perfectly. I have NEVER lost data from HD problems. From any of my drives.
Now take IBM. Please. My new mac's (1st Quicksilver) HD crapped out after 2 Months!!!
I don't see how this would work for a smaller band, since smaller shows aren't usually sold out, they (usually) don't have a relationship with the ticket seller, and unreleased music would be spread as soon as one file trader gets it.
Pehaps this could be submitted as an 'ask slashdot' (and promptly rejected), but what could a smaller band do to promote CD's in the face of file sharing? An old band I was in made little refrigerator magnets (by hand with markers!) for anyone who came to a show. What is something that is cheap and scalable, includeable in a cd, yet adds value (assuming the music doesn't suck:) to a CD purchase?
Why not send Brittany or Michael J up with the winner...
I'll go if I get to push one of them out of the airlock and watch their (silicone / children's skin, respectively) augmented body twirl, freeze and explode.
and got the results of my nerve test back. (They stick needles in ya and zap you with juice to see if your nerves are pinched). I left after being told that my nerves were perfectly fine, and that I need to stop or lessen to a considerable extent what I do. (Graphic Design)
I now work 6 hours a week (ordered by doctor) with an option for more, if the pain doesn't go away.
My suggestion would be to make sure you have good posture (back straight), that you are above the keyboard and in front of it (you'd be surprised how people type) and make a point of stopping and stretching every 5-10 min. (for 30 sec to a min or two.)
All these things have helped, but YMMV.
Oh I also stopped playing drums and guitar for 4-5 day. (though those didn't hurt...hmmm)
Back when xolox (for windows) was in ver 1.2, it would requery *forever*. Althogh this worked great for getting results, I am sure it killed the network.
They have seemingly 'fixed' this in the new release, but it now has banner ads and popups all through it. Ug.
It's pretty good, even though they have some catching up to do. (They went down for awhile for fear of getting sued alá napster.)
IIRC, Clear Channel got hassled over some list that got passed around a few day after Sept 11. It was a Do Not Play list. Here is a story about it.
It seemed to me that some executive stood on some moral high ground and decided to 'protect' everyone from emotions that might well up when listening to John Lennon's 'Imagine' or S & G's "Bridge Over Troubled Water. Dumb. Another example of how out of touch with *people* corporations are.
The only reason I think of this is because I happened to be listening to Ben Kweller's "Falling". (great tune) Hmm.
Does anyone see what is happening? MS who already is a CONVICTED MONOPOLIST, will have a new Monopoly! HARDWARE!
MS will control the software. MS will control the hardware.
You will NOT control it. You are UNTRUSTED. Where does this not make sense? Sure it will take some time, but it WILL happen. Government is firmly and happily swimming in Bill Gates back pocket. They have already shown their inabillity/ineptitude/disinterest/conflict of interest concerning this matter.
Linux, open source, fair use and civil rights are centered in the crosshairs of MS's TOTAL SOLUTION.

You might want to check thisand this out. Here is the findings of Caltech/MIT - Big PDF and Little PDF
It seems to me that open source would be the way to go, if only so any 'backdoors' or bugs can be found. 10 million stupid people or 5 million bored, smart people could really put our voting 'system' at risk.
This would also have the added benefit of removing the 'special interest' kickback that I'm sure the manufacturer/local politico is getting on some level.
Besides, what could be more patriotic (real patriotism, not bandwagon flags on your mailbox. ) than helping to create/debug a secure, fair, easy to use and accessible voting system? (Besides actually getting off your fat ass and voting.;)
It's a crazy fun filled romp told through the eyes of a giant Software Company! Convicted of being a Software Monopoly, It shrugs off all naysayers and punishments and heads right into Hardware Monopoly! It controls the software AND the hardware!

Yes! You too can be part of this laugh riot! Just Wait and Do Nothing. We are bringing it to you this Fall!
No. This is highly illegal. I urge everyone to join my Class-Action lawsuit against Apple.
We Mac users do not want change. We fear it. We would like to run one program at a time, like God intended.
This is an affront to Mom, Patriots everywhere, and just think of the children! This cannot be allowed to continue. OS 9 is what this country was founded on, and frankly, if you think otherwise, I think you may be aiding the terrorists. For it would take a terrorist's evil black heart to come up with such a hellish fate for Mac users. Deny our children the God Given Right to use OS 9!?
No! We will fight tooth and nail! From hill to dale! You will need to pry my OS 9 CD from my cold dead hands! There will never be Freedom until OS 9 is freed from it's oppressors! Join me now! We must win this battle FOR THE CHILDREN!

I'll stick with WD, thanks.
Robin Williams would probably be a better choice, though.
The Rolling Stones(old and dead) would make a good Disaster Area, or perhaps The Who...(loud and louder)

What you you want to see?
I need the keygen for Bon Jovi 1.0. Reply "me too" if you n33d it too. Many thanks to the CR3W!

That would almost be as sweet as Pepsi.

Its got a big crater in it. Pretty cool.
Moderators. C'mon. Use a clue. This post was ontopic, and certainly NOT a troll. Was I soliciting a response? No. Did I ask a question? No.
Was it funny? Apparently not to someone as acne-ridden as you. Was it overrated? Perhaps, since you *enjoy* the company of cock -whores .
Poor moderation is making /. stupid. Don't be part of the problem. Be part of the solution.
Read the FAQ, come back and mod this down (-1 Overrated). Geez. Do I have to wipe your ass for you too?
The last thing anyone needs to see is an acne-ridden cock-whore at 200 dpi.

I believe Doom 3 will take advantage of that, however the video card will still need upgrading.
