It's almost like your telling the government not to use sonar guns to catch people on the roads.
I hate it when the government used SONAR guns for speed enforcement on the highways. The ear-shattering pulse almost made me wreck my car. And the pings bouncing off all the other cars just makes a cacophonic mess.
OK, I'll give you that, but what legitimate reason does a library have to keep track of what someone checked out once it was returned? In an ideal world, any link of personally identifiable information to the checkout of a given title would evaporate upon the book's return. Of course, in the real world of backup tapes and funding sources wanting stats, this is unrealistic.
I wonder how long it will be before it will be illegal to lend or sell books without ID and records kept!
Public surfing from a VM with undoable disks, with/tmp pointing to a big honking RAM disk. Of course, all this is moot for libraries like our local one, which log who and what machine was in use at a given time.
I crack the Win-whatever CD in half, never use it, and I'm happy with a Dell running Linux.
You'd better never transfer that machine. It's illegal to do so without the operating system. (Note that MS has sanitized the language to make it less flagrantly self-serving and deceptive than it was before all the hits from that Slashdot article.) I'll come visit you in Leavenworth if you can get your family to post your prisoner number here.
OMG. "Corporate communication policy server side solution"? If you really are Mr. Hardt, please say you don't mean the sort of system I read about in Communications of the ACM a couple of years ago taht tries to enforce "chain of command" for emails (e.g. a clerk can't email the CEO without going through his front line supervisor, who passes it to the department head, who passes it to the Deputy Assistant Vice President for Keeping the CEO uninformed, ad nauseam). Please. PLEASE.
Yep. I had a CLIE. It was replaced with a Handspring next time I upgraded--after they failed to provide source for their modifications to POSE, which is a GPLd application.
They didn't seem to give a shit, since they didn't reply when I told them so. But you're not the only one (as they no doubt want us to think) so keep it up!
If you have sent a confirmation email to every subscriber with a unique identifier, and they have confirmed by providing you that unique identifier by clicking on a link containing it or sending you an email with it, then you're not spamming. Note that buying a list that claims to have done that, or relying on the word of a third party that someone has opted-in is not sufficient.
Those "people with too much time on their hands" are the ones keeping your mailbox from running over quota with spam before you ever have a chance to delete it. Spammers that listwash to avoid complaints still hit the mailboxes of busy, successful people like you that only have time to hit "delete."
And for some strange reason, the demographic sector consisting of transgendered 22 year olds born on 1/1/80 and living in Schenechtady, NY (ZIP code 12345) has been on the upswing.

Hire me! I'll be out in just three more years with good behavior!
Thanks for the link. Makes me want to head out to my local Best "we aren't subject to our merchant agreements because we're so big" Buy with my MasterCard right now.
Does your boss only places his wet, pen and ink signature on secure pieces of paper that can't be photocopied or scanned? Because if not, being anal about the security of a scanned signature's really pretty pointless.

Wow! A truly inspired troll from someone with a three digit user ID! Come with me to the dark side, Wakko.
Yep. I figured that out after I hit submit, but good catch anyway. The point remains, though--the offspring/spouse only needs the ID card for the benefits: if they don't want the benefits, they aren't required to show it, and certainly aren't required to carry it, like a military ID. My mistake.

(Perhaps you meant RADAR?)
What if you ILL it? What about the cameras? What about the nosey TIPS people seeing you reading an Arabic looking book?

Damn. That needs modded up, seriously. I'm ashamed to not have known about that paper before.

So, did you ever finish that Masters, or have you completed "some graduate school"?

I'm in favor of the steady increase in cup sizes. I suppose this trend can benefit the ladies, too, since guys also wear cups.

May the humorless pieces of shit who modded that down burn in hell. And this is my troll ID, so bring it on.

A non-physics major comes out: is there an end to this? Is there a meaningful parameter for the rate of change of jerk?

Largely because many users lack the manual dexterity to hit the close box on the first try, I imagine.
My cat * | grep adware; cat * | grep spyware didn't turn up anything, either.
