Enough to give you a bit of a pause, isn't it? All of these pollutants that we have dumped into the environment, now coming home to roost in us.
As far as a solution - how to clean yourself up?? It may be too late for that; water is contaminated, air is contaminated, food is contaminated --- time to set up that vacuum-pod in some sort of earth orbit....
And why should any of us be surprised by this? The politicians want to regulate it as long as it doesn't apply to them. I think that would cover quite a few things, not just spam.
Hell yes -- put it right here. There plenty of open space right across the street. There used to be a Wal-Mart there, but they left and the building is just empty...
I work for the fed. Our sensitive material is shredded through a large, commercial shredder. It only does a vertical shred, so you could reconstruct fairly easily. The best part is this: once the shredding is bagged, it goes out to our dumpster out back in the alley. It is not secure, guarded, or anything else.
Also, per our regulations, if you don't run it through the shredder, you have to manually tear up the piece of paper 6 times. This is social security numbers, addresses, medical information, etc.
I have often wondered how wrong this is, but my boss never seems concerned when I bring it up.
It has absolutely no mention of Windows ME. I ran this for a couple of years and had no problems with it. It didn't crash or blue screen - it was amazingly solid. My current system with XP Pro is as solid as ME.
Am I really one of the few who didn't think ME was a bastardized POS?
Do you sign a contract that states your usage of the EZ-Pass will not be tracked/used/etc...? Probably not, so if you allow yourself to be tracked and are doing illegal/illicit activities, it boils down to you aren't smart enough to be a good criminal...
of the Fed, I would have to agree. Where I work at, we rely (almost 100%) on Microsoft products (OS, applications built with Office, etc), so we are bombarded with updates, patches, and alerts. Also, I am the tech support in the District Office here, so whenever there is a problem with a workstation, it is usually (75% or so) user-related. In other words, they didn't know what the hell they were doing. My agency is one of the few that actually improved since last year, but we have a very long way to go before I would put my trust in them.
In addition, those of you who sound surprised, try reading The Myth of Homeland Security by Marcus Ranum (here. It is surprisingly accurate, and not just another 'chicken little' diatribe.
Canon A70/A80, as powerful and full of options as they may be, are not digital SLR's. The low end for digital SLR's starts at about $1000.00 -- not in the price range of the original question.
As I read the postings here, one theme keeps coming up -- "I can't believe Apple (or any other corporation) would sttop to price fixing on a popular consumable."
Please - why the shock and surprise? Apple doesn't have to lower the price, for Christmas or any other reason. The ipod is a hot item - for whatever reason. Apple will get the sales, whether or not the 1/2 dozen of you who think that they should lower the price or you just won't buy one continue to have your little coniptions....
Apple has very strict price points they sell and have their resellers sell their products. Best Buy/Circuit City/whoever contractually cannot lower the price without Apple's say-so.
So suck it up: pay the man or don't.... and get on with your lives already...
I know they are here somewhere..... there they are, covered with a layer of dust -- hell, the drive itself is penetrated so seldom it thinks it is a virgin...

The Myth of Homeland Security by Marcus J. Ranum. Shows the essential truth about homeland security.
Sounds like you have an issue -- were you targeted by DirecTv? Just out of curiosity, were you guilty of pirating their crap?
Wait a minute, what the hell am I saying???

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.. no, nevermind..
All the Mom & Pop download services will not be able to compete and they will go under. Another victory for corporate America....
Isn't WinAmp spyware?

Or haven't built their own...
Try these:
++ Learn to use the keyboard - there are easy keystroke shortcuts to perform the mouse clicks for you.++ Move the computer out of the bedroom into another room.
++ Tell your girlfriend to get over it.++ Get another girlfriend.
++ Go to bed with your girlfriend (what the hell are you doing at night anyway?).++ Get on with your life.
Could someone please explain why this was submitted???I forgot the {sarcasm} tag no longer works here at /.
So should I freak out or not -- it really doesn't say so (does it?)...

That may be true as well, but all the workstations and servers are running Windows 2000 or XP (believe me, it is true).

With an SS chaser, please...
