Guess you missed the 1990s... You must always replace He with He/she/it/that/thing/whatever. Otherwise you'd never hear the end about your "insensitivity to the plight of wymyn and transsexuals."
I went to high school in the 90s and I still use his as a neutral gender. If the womyn/trannies complain, then she can suck it. I'm not going to contort myself to fix someone's messed up self image.
My point is that I'm in a different problem domain than you - of course I don't care about a 1M executable - my stuff runs on a 1Ghz box and uses perl as a middleware. If I was messing around on a Z80, things would be different - no stl for you!
Except your cache -- and your instruction pipeline on the frequent cache misses.
My code doesn't need to be fast - it mostly waits for the database, so I don't care about that either. The major performance factors in my application space are data models, decent algorithms, and database speed, in that order. It'd be different if I were messing with physics processors of games:).
There's others who've hired programmers and try very hard to keep them away from their embedded designs, since your typical CompSci grad thinks a MB of compiled code is compact!
It is - 700k of that is symbols (we have sucky STL libs). Actually, I don't sweat 1MB of code because we have 1GB ram, so nothing's hurting.
Personally, I disagree slightly, but then IANAL. However, if I was told by a police officer to stop using a network, I'd stop. If I really thought I was in the right, I'd consult with a lawyer before continuing.
If he told you to stop driving past a high school, would you do that too?
I'd wager that they never bother to charge him with theft of services or anything, if they can get him on more substantial parole violations.
IANAL, but isn't that out the window? If you don't charge someone with a crime that you could have reasonably suspected him of, then you don't get to use the sex offender bit for anything - otherwise, you could randomly detain people and then go rifling around in their life trying to find some dirt.
Anyway, what parole violations? The summary mentioned him being a sex offender only in passing.
Telling your credit card company not to accept charges might not be a perfect solution. AOL will continue the account for a few months and your bill with them will continue to increase. After a few months, they will get their collection department on you. If it gets to that point, they might file something on your credit report.
No they can't. Apparently, they've pissed off so many people that the CRAs don't take them seriously any more.
Do you ask every single person who you go out with, before you've bought them dinner, whether or not they're going to have sex with you afterwards?
You're a dense one. Can you really not tell the difference between someone going on a date to see if they like that person and someone going on a date to get a free meal?
Whooooah there. Wait just one damn minute. You surely can't mean what I think you mean, do you? Please tell me I've misunderstood what you've said.
Okay, hows this: if I'm on a date and the girl I'm with asks me to come up with her, I expect there's a good chance she'll screw my brains out. Better?
hey should rename themselves "The Entertainment Wants To Be Free Party,"
Pirate Party rolls off the tongue - your name sucks. In today's media saturated world, that's important. I for one would love to be the first Pirate President.

It would seem to me that if a sprint phone could get cloned, then why not a tmobile number.
Because the technology is different. Some guy at the top of the thread explained what happens when you try and clone a GSM number.

Or it's just whoever is also on the family plan. Why would you care who that is?
Make your own damn plot arcs.

Please point to the part where our perp defaced the coffee shop's network.

Yea, you're right... still, I thought that an arrest included charges.
Convicted, not charged.

According to the article, this guy had previously been asked by the police to move along and stop using their wireless network.
Unless there's some law against using the wireless network, that doesn't mean anything.

Sure you can... unless you signed up by credit/debit card or eft. If that's the case, your only recourse is to close the account.
You can always chargeback the cc account, claiming fraud. This will get their attention.

And of course the Jolly Roger would be the new official battle standard of the US army.
Why not? It's already the official flag of Congress.
Don't have to. We walk on water.
Make the first IRL meeting be with both sets of parents involved, like any other meeting of two kids outside of school will be.
Maybe if you're 10. Certainly not after 13-14.
What if he were actually a 14 year old? Those are always innocent, after all.
Unless they're boys, because boys are evil tools of the devil.
/still a tool of the devil
//want to see my tool?
That's the most politically incorrect post in this thread so far.
No it isn't. It's reality - if I'm wining and dining someone who just wants a free meal, then I'm being used. Try and talk your way out of that.

There's also ninjas. They can flip out and kill a whole boatload.
Of course by that time the sillycone will be 4 times faster than these are.
Based on what? Has silicone gotten much faster in the past year?
How do you like my new Athlon 64 X100 with 1TB of memory running at 16 GHz?
