Why do you think you have imperfect DNA? Maybe it's a random mutation that will save us all when your descendents are the only survivors... or something?
Besides everyone wants to get married and have kids.

I, actually, own a patent on multi-atomic carbon molecules of all kinds, such as... carbon nanotubes. Actually carbon nanotubes were patented in like 1900 by someone who didn't know what they were. That patent has since expired. Someone is misinterpreting things here.
Really? I seem to remember you're right, that some probe Russia sent (and crashed) onto the Moon had 1atm in it despite it being unmanned, but why do they do that? And for sattelites too?
That's not true.
In lawsuits, they have reported exactly which files someone has downloaded - from someone else. This is done by making fake supernodes or in otherwise, wiretapping, as they watch data go through it.
No matter how you look at it, if the only way the RIAA knows about something is through illegal wiretapping, which is what they're doing, then they would never win in court. If someone declines to pay the fee, the case will never go to court because the RIAA knows how much damage they'll get if it did.
Naturally the RIAA probably sends people NDAs and settles for free if someone declines to pay anything. A couple thousand bucks is pennies for them. BUT the cost of going to court, and the publicity, and the risk of losing, is worth millions for them to avoid.
I have a feeling a Dad like that's gunna be installing keyboard loggers and/or cameras in his kids rooms, hiring private investigators to follow his kids around, etc.
After all, his house, his rules.
Jesus Christ, you sound like one snoopy bastard. Imagine when you were young if you heard a click because your Dad picked up the phone to tape record everything. He might not say anything but what the hell.
I think you're snooping and "protecting them" is just an excuse of yours to make you feel better. Do you easedrop your wife when she talks to her friends through e-mails? Jesus!
You might want to try Spybot Search & Destroy which MAY be able to protect against it being installed. Or try creating a file with a name equal to the directory it likes to install itself. Example: create a file called C:\Program Files\Gator or whatever the hell that crap is calling itself. And make a directory called gator.dll in the location that DLL (or whatever it's called) likes to install itself.
And this is highly illegal of MS because they don't have the legal right to see stack traces and memory dumps which they can then reverse engineer, for it could violate your license agreement.
I often think that if for each mail someone sends they have to perform a computationally expensive computation to "digitally sign" the message in a way specific to the recipient's address, then it will no longer be economical for spammers to send mail because if it takes them 100 milliseconds per spam sent, 10 million e-mails takes more than 240 hours.
After all, we all sign our messages when we write a letter, so why not insist the same for e-mails?
Alternately, if each SMTP server admininstrator agreed to add a 100 ms delay, per email it sends - and if the client disconnects before then it does not send the email, then we're in business.
Right now we're having a hell-of-a-time tracking spammers. That is why I think the digitally signing - which is computationally expensive - idea is the best solution.
Our client then contacts the server of the sender and asks them to confirm that the user in question really did send that email - sort of checking the signiture. This is connected with "return recipt requests" since it is a similiar concept.
I don't really know, but I have the following theory: hard drives usually have what appears to be a sticker on them that says "warranty void if [the sticker is] removed." I think that if you remove it, it exposes the disc (platter) and by powering up the drive I'm guessing you can use it to spin the disc and put a little probe down the hole where the sticker was and read it with minimal damage.
Just a guess though.
Based on what they said, I think that when the CD is popped in people will find they can't so easilly rip it because of copy protection, but WMA files can still be accessed, requiring a codec that doesn't come with your computer. You can install the codec from the CD-ROM, perhaps automatically via autorun, but, that same program will DISABLE ripping of the CD.
Probably you CAN rip the CD by holding down shift when you pop it in and then running a ripping program in VMWare or better, in bochs where you have total control and can hack it till it works. As long as you don't use a PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to circumvent copy protection, I believe it's legal and in compliance with the DMCA to do this to store it on your harddisk as "fair use."
VMWare does not have circumventing copyprotection as its primary purpose and you didn't create a new program to do this, so I think you can do it legally. Mybe. IANAL.
Yeah there was a/. story about that and that is what this story means by the recent deceptive practice ruling, I Think. Also my mom got one of those fake threats; I googled for it and found out lots of people did.

There is nothing wrong with your DNA!

When I first read this I thought the 7 Up was poisoned. So THAT's what he meant....
Well, you always hear how the biggest problem in the ISS for astronaughts is putting up with "cultural diversity" which of course means the Russians.
So I don't know, they still get in "fights". There's the russian section and the U.S. section.

Yup, it's a conspiracy!
"repeatedly waived his right"
They put him in solitary confinement, possibly in the dark, for what, for 8 months? Until he finally signed the damn thing.
Also they can legally lie to him but he can't lie to them. Sucks, huh?

So it's extortion.
What is it about porn that's so bad anyway?

I wonder if the microchip catches a virus what THAT does -- could be lethal, right?

Actually I've always wanted to make an Internet Draft.
That is the best idea.
