If these Anons are, as we are led to believe, under the age of caring, why are these actions deemed so wrong? Shouldn't they be seen as the only appropriate action?
UK and US children have known nothing but war since they day they were born. Sadam makes a threat, we bomb him. Sadam does a naughty, we bomb him. Bomb on planes and trains, we carpet bomb someone.
And we expect our own offspring to behave themselves when faced with authority?
I think we're asking too much of them. Until our own actions change, virtual bombing will continue.
For the start of the book stats, more stats and even more stats.
If a team normally wins 1 in 10 games, offer the punter odds of 5/1.
Ultimately, after the book has run a week, see where the money is being placed. If the team receives a number of high value bets, reduce the odds to 3/1. And so on.
It's all pure maths. I wish I'd gotten into the game when I didn't need money to pay the bills.
A non-geek mate recently bought his first netbook. Obviously I had to set it up, free of charge, even though I paid him to lay carpets weeks earlier...
He told me he already had email; had a Hotmail account for years and wouldn't let me get him a gmail account.
After I was done, I sent myself an email so I'd have him email address, as you do.
6 hours later his email landed in my inbox. And people still use Hotmail?
Page-down broken. Side panel pointless. Top bar pointless. Crashes IE6 at work (hush it, I don't want to know) 50% core usage every 10 seconds plus network traffic. I don't need three guesses... Very bright. Actually hurts my eyes.

Of all the things you could have spend hours coding, you choose this?
The fault lies with the hidden "Open and repair" feature. It will open 99.9% of corrupted Word documents and list the errors (which are normally referencing errors)
A functioning society needs money to circulate. Earning more than you need and hording it is bad for everyone.
Overcharging for a product eventually has the same effect. It even affects the mega-rich. When your favourite coffee shop closes because a software company is taking more than it's fair share of money, then the minions no longer have spare money for coffee, then you'll understand.
PS I play the game, but I know the rules are wrong.
I can and do download 14gb per hour. I know other people who do so faster. It's no different to the 230mb (65 x 3.5mb) game rips we used to download back in the days on 56k. Hey, maybe a new scene will popup where all the media is compressed or removed from PS3 games.
USB connected hard drives are cheap, cheap, cheap.
I can't see a massive problem with 50gb downloads.
The strengthening ridges behind the rear number plate of the BMW X5 are in the shape of the designer's initials (or they were when I left the project just before the tooling was made).
I saw an increase in spam from this site; a site I've never visited.
LinkedIn's response to my complaint, after the 4th piece of spam from one of their users, who was advertising decorating services, was that I should be happy someone in the world wanted to make contact with me. You should be thankful we exist, Mr Inda. Without us your life would be poorer.
I don't normally complain but LinkedIn emails get past Gmail's filters too easily.
You can get your address blocked from LinkedIn by sending them an email.
The CCA is your friend. Most companies cannot provide the original paperwork. Debt collection agencies have never provided me with paperwork when requested. Most give up and sell the debt when you start sending CCA related letters (these can be downloaded from the internet *duh*:))
If my memory serves me correctly, NTL, who were bought Virgin Media, bought the domain name ntlsucks.com and turned it into something useful. As in, the user's questions were answered by NTL's desktop support staff.
I love taking all my small change and feeding it. I know the people behind have to wait, but I'm showing them the True Way (tm). Saves the 6% those nasty change machines charge too.
Some people get stuck with the multi-button choices, so here's another trick: you don't need to press any buttons. Scan then feed in the money. Nothing more.
1. Get credit card. 2. Max limit. 3. Pay minimum for a few months. 4. Default on the debt. 5. Contact CC company. Tell them you cannot pay because of X, Y and Z. Interest charges will stop here. 6. Drag the process out by fibbing and lying. Save your normal monthly payments in a savings account (very imporant). 7. When the legal letters get too much to handle, phone them (probably a debt collection agency by this stage) and offer 50%. Pay 66% if you have to.
Make sure you have big balls before starting the process.
Sounds like me throughout school. It did me no favours. I too have an IQ around the 140 mark.
One year, towards the end, the teacher asked us to list the things we'd learnt. My list was one line long - "Chinese numbers from one to ten". Those numbers have served me well...
Sucks and continues to suck as I approach my 40th year.
Thank the FSM that the new style academy schooling in the UK allows for the more clever children to take exams early.

They made a wand that didn't perform as expected. Their games are over priced for the younger market.
They live on their name and nothing else.
I read all this sort of stuff and probably only understand 10% of it. I find it all fasinating.
I have viewed some of this PS3 hacking stuff and didn't understand much of it. I don't even own a PS3, nor do I want one.
Lock me up and throw away the key?
This won't get read but hey, who cares?
Recovery disks (first thing a new user should do as explained in all manuals) and system restore not good enough for every user's needs?
It looks italicized on this PC.

atdhe.net was also removed, so I was told this morning. I cannot check from this work PC.
myp2p is still going strong.
iraqgoals is still a firm favourite.
SopCast can never die - true p2p
Trawl the sporting forums, there are a metic shitload of these sites.

Sorry but I disagree.

Why's this funny?
I find the red button is best.
Why answer? Does everyone jump when told?
Try Tesco first (they run on the O2 network)
£20 buys you 750 minutes (phone them to get this), unlimited texts and unlimited internet.
But, don't most people use a WiFi connection for this sort of downloading?
It's common in all design work.

The wife's HTC Wildfire is more powerful and has more RAM than the P3 I still use to run FF, file servers and other stuff.
Amazing for a budget smart-phone.

There are laws in the UK for this too.

Just call each other's mothers fags and the flames will end.
I used to visit an anti-spam website. It would load all the images of an offending site over and over and over.
This type of DDOS is not new.
