Or, what if YOU'RE a large horny black man? Could you then get out of prison via an insanity plea because you were explaining things to yourself too much?
You could try adding the address of the plugin download to your hosts file so they literally can't download it. Of course they could still bring it in on cd or something, but most people won't think of that, and you're counting on security through obscurity anyways. By the way, why are you blocking chatzilla?
Fight your boss, or better yet, if he has a 'private' office, kick the shit out of yourself and make him call security, and make it look like he beat you when you told him you'd be leaving.
If you really need the power, wait about what....half a year, 9 months? and get a p5 when they come out, I believe they'll be running at 5-7 ghz, which should be more than adequate for whatever you're doing now...and unless you're running a render farm or something, I don't see why you'd need that kind of speed. Wait, spend the money if you need, but 64 bit I'd say is a no go for now. Not enough apps can take advantage of it.
www.mail2world.com works great for me, and has for well over a year now. varying mail domains, with mail2 being the only constant among them, great service...although their servers are a bit slow sometimes...but they do always warn of downtime, and I've never had any mail dropped.
Well, this definetly explains why I no longe have sleep cycles. But seriously, I have noticed that it's much easier not to sleep if I'm gaming as opposed to doing work. I'll actually take quick game breaks if I'm pulling an all nighter to stop myself from falling asleep.
The problem with the open door analogy, is that if someone steals things from your house or car, you no longer have them. Downloading through someone else's network does not cost them anything. Sure, if they were for some reason using all their bandwidth at that point you might cause a bit of lag, but then again, if they were using that much bandwidth, you wouldn't get a 200kb/s download. The only complication is if, like ewhenn said, their bandwidth usage is metered. In that case its wrong unless you pay them whatever miniscule ammount it cost.
How exactly is the touchpad on thinkgeek an improvement? You're still resting your wrist on something and moving something else. Seems oddly similar to a mouse, but I can't quite figure out why...oh I do wonder.
So just because it is "a major undertaking to convert" we shouldn't do it? Are we to keep saying that just because its too much work it shouldn't be done at all? I know most of use here are lazy, but come on, it doesn't all have to be done at once. Start in the brainwashing facilities the US calls schools, and work your way up. And the imperial system IS less usefull. Like you said, it can be annoying to work with, and since most of the world uses metric, it makes unit communication a pain too. Just convert and be done with it.
The other problem with my service, is that I never know what speeds I DO get. Sometimes it'll feel like 3mgdown/256k up...other times it acts lke 56k. And this is independent of how long/what os my machine has been running. Nor is this affected by who else is using the line and how much of hte bandwidth. Oh, and one other thing, it's got a habbit of going down randomly. It just disconnects and then comes back up.
Oh yeah, of course the potential downsides are negligible if you can afford to pay $100 for $hitty service. I'm having a hard time paying the 46 those bums are charging now. I mean honestly, is there any end to their greed. How many of you think Powell got a promise of free service AFTER the price jumps to 200 for a line?
Is it just me, or does that article sound eerily 1984ish? The People's Daily....massive growth reprorts/expectations....Might be beacuse I just read the book, but still, the resemblance in the writing hit me like a wall...and this IS coming from the country that blocked Google....
The Greatest Trick the devil ever pulled was making the wold believe that he doesn't exist. Wouldn't it make sense for M$ to release as little info about the project as possible (its not like they release much info anyayws...but still)...without any concrete info on what Palladium's implications will be, it can't be considered 'the enemy' , just as you said. But if its not seen as the enemy, and it really is, then they get their foot in the door by convincing everyone to try it, because, after all, its not the enemy, so why not try it out?..then once their foot is in the door they'll dump gallons of feces in the form of rights loss on every user. I'm well aware that Microshaft relases code not much better than 1000 monkies at 1000 typewriters, but I can't deny that they're devilishly good in the business world, evil maybbe, but I won't deny their effectiveness.
I'm not sure if Kleinrock invented the internet, but I do know that it was first created by the US army and known as the 'Arpanet'...... whether or not Kleinrock was part of the team I do not know.

Sure it's possible, it just turned out to be a really really bad thing so we erased our memories of how to do it.
