I'm fairly certain that unless you live in some sort of toxic environment, the water is already quite clean even without a filter, at least as clean as average well water.
I spent $40 on a decent Gel seat with some small spings underneath as well. Now I can bike for hours, maybe more but I'm out of energy energy after that point.
I agree though, if it were anything like the seat my bike came with I'd crawl instead.
Agreed. I'm not that old.. I was using a 36k modem to download some pretty big files only around 5-6 years ago, used bittorrent with it even. So long as you use a program that can resume downloads if the connection fails your set. (Napster was AWFUL, you'd download 3/4 of a song, and then everyone with it would be offline or stop sharing it!) Worst case just leave it running over night, no one wants calls at that hour anyways:)
There's always using dial-up to connect to another country. Slow, but I know downloaded tonnes with dial up when I was kid because there was no other way... Didn't stop me one bit.
Unless of course they decide international calls are also "hacking"..
I'm sure a stalker could get get all except for 'method of duplicating key with picture accurately enough to be of use' without much work, now if the they happen to be reading slashdot today...
I messed up the paper ballot process recently. Apparenty I was to first give it to the attendant to tear off a stub before putting it in the box.. No one told me though, until after of course.
The most severe problem with them is the transaction processing. 50%-70% of the time when you complete the entire process, it times out when authorizing your credit card or debit card, forcing you to complete the entire process again. On busy nights the problem is worse up to 90% of the time.
When talking to senior management, they confirmed the problem as well as confirming the model they had previously used in other theatres don't have this problem. However as the new machines have tamper proof mechanisms, they feel they are still the best choice and had no plans to look at other options.
"This particular kiosk is not any more complicated than a ticket-sales kiosk at the train station or movie theater, or than an ATM, and we can easily design those to respond instantly."
So we'd like to think, personally I've had nothing but issues with the new ticket kiosk's at our local movie theater. After a long discussion with serveral managers who felt these problems were something I should live with and not complain, I no longer go there. Unfortunatly with elections, you don't have the same choice.
Well, considering they don't feel the constitution applies, they probably don't feel too strongly about about any of your right. You probably don't want to try this.
I believe that's the case in the US too, just apparently highly paid corporate laywers are very very good at making senseless things sound like a good idea...
For my desktop I always make a habit of using usb ports on a PCI card for devices that I plug in & out often so that when the connectors become damages I can cheaply & easily replace the card.
Agreed, if people paid attention to the less invasive messages this wouldn't be and issue. Unfortunatly most people are so click happy these days that your need something this invasive to actually make them look at it before clicking 'ok'.
it's actually amazing that all of the sets over the years are pretty darn compatible. It's the rare Lego that simply falls off.
Very good point, I have some nearly 20 year old legos that fit with brand new ones like they were from the same batch. I suppose I took it for granted without really thinking how much work would go into this level of quality control.

Correct me if I'm wrong...
"Canada is also a part of this RIAA farce."
Great, we should be able to find a copy of it on the side of the road somewhere!
In Canada pretty much all the big cellphone companies still offer paging service:

But really,, who on slashdot can pay attention to the radio for hours? without pictures most of us will fall asleep!

It would be handy in a large building. Maintainence could be notified automatically whenever a bulb dies.
Burn the data to mixed mode disc's & label only the music on the disc for extra obscurity.
Due to the sheer convenience of being more reliable, of course...
Lame hack, but much more lame trying to pass this as news......
Nope, ME still ran on DOS.. just did a better job of hiding it than 98.
I believe that's the case in the US too, just apparently highly paid corporate laywers are very very good at making senseless things sound like a good idea...
Very True! now if they just called it that, they could cut off the ridiculous 'super speed' suffix and start fresh.
Using an external USB hub would also work if the bandwidth bottleneck isn't an issue.

I think it's actually Meccano

Well, considering how easy it is to access a current engine or gas tank, I don't think it could get much easier...
