Well then, we just have the US intranet. We only export those sites who wish to be under the UN's thumb.
I find it very difficult to have respect for governments who think they need to control the information their populous sees.
So if I as a feature to a browser that lets you automatically play a sound file, then someone can patent using that feature to emit an advert?
Sounds like the patent should belong to the browsers who added the feature that lets you do a pop up.
I'm sure I'm missing something. But this stuff looks like crappy graphic from a 1989 version of Corel Draw.
Perhaps the technology is really cool but those screenshots are VERY unimpressive.
The FCC is more and more becoming nothing more than enablers for Monopolies.
Here is 2003 have we not yet come far enough as a society to where the government doesn't fight monopolies with one hand and grant them with another.
Monopolies are NEVER, EVER, good for the consumer or public.
It will be a breath of fresh air the day I see the phone and cable companies have their monopolies revoked. It's just damn unamerican./soapbox
Good point but in my opinion then 'entered' missori when they connected to missori mail servers to deliver the illegal mail. Virtual or not it is a tresspass onto assets in missori.
I'm sure this isn't how the law works. Just an optinion.
I had an excellent experience at university of Phoenix Online. While I did experience a couple lazy instructors, there were requirements for daily discussion and interaction with other students about the material. This led to a situation where the material was covered in great depth almost in spite of the instructor.
Let me address your points individually:
1. No, someone could not charge every CC in the world. There is a small computer inside the card and two way communication is required. There is no way for a satalite to charge cards.
2. EMF if used in a mall right now would scramble the mag strips on existing cards and probably screw all the cash registers. No difference.
Uhhh.. Visa is doing it. Which means if it actually happens, it'll be accepted at MANY more locations than speedpass. Additionally with a decent amount of storage and the high bit rates, you could use one card to buy stuff, get into your gym etc.
Let's see. A crowded line at an amusement park... I'm sure I could pick up 100 credit card numbers an hour with my wiz-bang pocket card reader. "Excuse me sir... I didn't mean to bump into you..."
While I disagree with this poster, exactly why was this moderated 'Offtopic'. He expressed and option about the topic. Even if it isn't very well informed it IS on topic.
Now this post on the other hand. Is offtopic.
Ok so we need to get Linux, BSD etc to 'randomize' their TTL values. This will make everyone running those OSs look like nat boxes. Basically making the method useless. Alternativly, I alter the kernel on my linux NAT box to not decrement the TTL. Someone actually spent time writing about this. WEAK!
It's slightly corporate but a great site. www.noggin.com is the site for the kids tv channel Noggin. It has some great educational games etc. My 2 year old LOVES to play 'Pigeon patterns' with Bert on in the "play with me seseme' section.
This is almost too stupid to be true. The majority of the world would disagree with this, even my MOM!:)
I think their ad exec provided a self portrait with that Dodo.
I'll take the safe any day1
You don't havn't seen the 15" Dell screen have you. I don't have any problem with eye strain like I do on my CRT at 1600x1200. The LCD has such a great distinction between pixels that you get an incredibly sharp image compared to a CRT at that res. Also you can use slightly larger fonts and still get much of the benefit of that resolution.
I was so impressed at finally being able to stomach 1600x1200 on my dell laptop that I went and bought an LCD for my desktop.
This happens all the time. If a few members of a high-school basketball team keep brawling with the opposing team and the school does NOTHING. Eventually that school will not be allowed to play until they clean up their act. This my not be fair to the players who don't fight but it is reasonable.

The outlets are for engine warmers. You plug them in the winter so you can actually start them again.

Now we just need this guy to design a universal remote control since most designs suck!

My first thought was..... "Dammit, I already used all my mod points today!"

Thanks... Missed the link to the forum... Doh.. This is a sign I need coffee
Does anyone have this comic mirrored anywhere? I'm sure we'd all love to see what the fuss is about.

The Free Software Foundation membership card is a bootable linux CD in the shape of a card. It has many nice utilities and it's Linux!
Another stumbling block on the way to 100% broadband coverage.
Dammit! I already used up my mod points!
While I agree with you, how do you expect such comments to be taken seriously if you post anon? hmm
