Because the question wasn't "What would make an ideal doorstop?"
Seriously, I used to use a ZIP drive at home until one day 6 years ago I went to Fry's to buy disks to back up my (probably) 20Gb hard drive and realized that it would cost more just to buy enough ZIP disks than it would to buy a CD burner. So I bought a CD burner instead and have used that for backups until I got a DVD burner.
Now, the CD burner part is irrelevant here. I would advocate the method already suggested of getting an external USB hard drive. Make it FAT32 format, as I believe OS X can read/write to that. If you do that MAKE SURE you know the max FAT32 filesystem OS X can support. I ran into this problem with RH EL3. The 2.4.21 kernel doesn't support FAT32 filesystems beyond ~130Gb. Well, it doesn't complain if you make them, but after you put about 130Gb worth of data on them, they get subtly corrupted.
That Wired article was dated 2002. Does anyone know what's become of the suit? (Yeah, I could just Google....)
Seriously, though, if it's not EverQuest, it's Marilyn Manson, it's this, that, and the other. The Wired article explicitly states that the son was diagnosed with depression and a personality disorder. THAT'S what made him kill himself. Depression is a potentially lethal disease. And as other people have stated, he was gaming because he was depressed and unhappy with reality. I seriously doubt it was the other way around. Did EverQuest feed his further withdrawal from healthy real-world interaction? Most likely. Is that Sony's fault? No. If they don't put a breathalyzer on every car ignition, then game makers can't be expected to put personality tests on every computer game.
I seem to recall reading around the time the series ended that Duchovny and Anderson were both contractually obligated to make a second film, if it came to that.
Question: I was excited to read that a second X-Files movie is finally being made. Do you have any more info on the plot -- other than that it will be a stand-alone horror flick? -- Jack K.
Ausiello: Actually, it looks like David Duchovny was getting a little ahead of himself when he told USA Today last week that the film was slated to begin production later this year. "There's nothing at the moment going on," Chris Carter's agent, Elliott Webb, says. "There is no negotiation, there's no script written, there's nothing other than a desire for people to get together." Bummer.
As a co-worker of mine pointed out, the ISPs are probably safe because there was probably something in the user agreement about, well, not allowing bulk commercial mailings from their accounts.
Oh, yes, Microsoft could take a rock-solid protocol/standard/technology and break it, easily. It's probably equally possible that SMB has become more secure or less secure in Microsoft's hands. However, I was correcting the widespread factual error of "Microsoft invented SMB." Microsoft doesn't even call their implementation SMB anymore. It's CIFS now.
I don't know much about this specific bug, but c'mon people, there have been linux security bugs concerning technologies and protocols Microsoft hasn't managed to put their grubby little fingers into. There are enough valid complaints against them to keep us from having to start making them the de facto scapegoat.
That table is a small sample of both Senators and votes/issues. The text makes no mention of how this particular section of the whole table was chosen, and also doesn't tell you to draw conclusions from it. I don't think it's wise to extrapolate a person's entire record from it.
Ah, but think of it in these terms. A woman is murdered. There's a ~30% chance it's her husband/lover/boyfriend.
Maybe I look at those numbers and they just seem far too large.
Anyways, with over a thousand of these murders a year, it still doesn't explain why the media is wasting their time and ours on Scott Peterson. Oh, wait, Laci was an attractive, white, pregnant woman.
It makes me wonder if some women didn't react so vocally to this game because the mindset of women as property isn't so "dead," even in our supposedly enlightened culture, whether that's American or slashdot.
Um, I rail against the inhumane treatment of women far more than what a few very fortunate, anorectic women can do. Ever consider that the media would rather talk about (and run accompanying photos of) the models? Hell, the American media would rather talk about the trial of one American male who is charged with killing his wife (hardly an oddity) than, well, almost anything else.
Never assume that just because you don't hear about it, it's not happening.
Exactly. It's not the world's problem that you can't tune TV out. (I generally can, unless, well, my human companion is a total bore.) Just avoid restaurants with TVs or asked to be seated in an area away from one. For airports, you can generally find an area relatively far away from the TV. Most of these places probably put the TVs in in the first place because (some of) their customers requested them.
While the "launch a pre-emptive" strike part is ambiguous, I think it can easily be interpreted to mean not, "start claiming voter intimidation is already happening" but "let's make sure it doesn't happen by taking these steps."
This is necessary for about six billion reasons. Ok, I can think of 2 off the top of my head.
1. Some states allow voters in primaries to vote only within their party. 2. The number of voters registered for a party can determine the amount of government funding their candidates can reason, whether they appear on the official ballots, etc.
actually, i think this is just an attempt by the IT industry to scare away all the people doing it because computers are trendy and get down to business. at least, you can always hope.
Actually, perhaps this is an attempt by Big Business to make us *happy* that they're trying to off-shore all our jobs. ``You don't *really* want to work in IT, you poor deluded little thing....''
I seriously think the government underestimates the terrorists and well maybe they dont, they just take the US public for fools and yes the majority of the public are fools.
I think what it comes down to in many ways is that the government is more concerned with looking like they're doing something. I was going to add "than actually doing something" but I don't think that's fair. But, yes, they need to cover their bases, and they think/hope/pray that the masses are too clueless/paranoid/apathetic to realize that either having to forge a fake ID or forge the documents needed to get a real one aren't going to stop anyone serious about getting on a plane.
And what about foreigners traveling through our country?
See how the other people in your building feel about the situation. If enough people are pissed off, er, concerned, then you might be able to put some pressure on your landlord.
Possible repercussions:
1. Your toilet takes longer to get fixed. 2. Everyone's rent goes up to pay for $300 worth of software.

It's easier to find a CLI interpreter for perl (/usr/bin/perl) than for php, even if php is installed for the web server.

Of course, if Microsoft were to be believed, they really do own all the protocols.
Microsoft did NOT in fact invent/originate SMB. IBM did.
Normally I would agree, but advertising is really only useful if you have an actual product to sell...

No cocoa beans? I'm not going...

And judging from the attitude and language in some of these posts, they damned well deserve it.

Dude, I haven't called my parents about bike-riding questions in years. Even when I crash 10 years after the fact.

But a huge number on using it. Sorry, the original argument doesn't hold.

"Not everything is true" and "everything is false" are not equivalent statements....
Even in jokes.
It should be "better than we," "retard".
