Many receipts no longer display the entire card number. I'm not so sure I would shop anywhere that did display the whole thing anymore. My only experience with ID theft was when my card was stolen by a clothing store employee via the receipt, but this was 12 years ago or more.
My latina friend had her identity stolen to provide papers to an illegal immigrant.
If your identity is stolen visit the ftc.gov website.
Uh, no. The story was told to me by a pilot who served in 'nam. You should hang out at VFW bars too, you hear amazing stories.
You can return to your Tom Clancy books now.
The original version of the A-6 Intruder had some sort of non-digital ballistics computer, the AN/ASQ-61. It evidently would freeze and require a reboot by kicking a certain area of the cockpit floor. The computer had a mechanical drum that actually got stuck and needed to be "booted" in order for it to get going again.
Told to me by a pilot, I can't verify via a quick google.
Copying Russia got the US into space, why shouldn't China start out the same way.
Copying the Germans got everyone into space. Were it not for the "rocket-scientist grab" that occurred at the end of WWII, neither party would have gotten anywhere for quite some time.
I disagree with the OP as well. Soviet technology is quite robust. What better model for a fledgling space program that doesn't have to worry about accidents condemning them in the court of citizen's approval.
I've been using Spambayes for the last week as well and I couldn't be happier. I get about 40-50 spams a day and about 100 hams. So far not one ham has been mislabled. I only get 1-2 "unsure spams" a day.
I haven't tested this against other filter programs but I'm not planning to at this point. I told my boss I'd test it for a month but after 1 week I'm already recommending it.
Thomas Bayes is my new favorite dead guy.
I put a poster of Thomas Bayes up in my office and added the phrase "Spam Killer" between the first and last name.
I'm only halfway through the posts but in this regard I have a bit of advice to offer.
If you plan to do this at a hotel, find out who is in charge of building maintenance. Not the guy in the suit, if you know what I mean. Involve him in your power testing that let him know what type of load you expect. In general these guys know their stuff and will give you some good info straight off. (and if he turns out to be a she please give her my email addy)
Also remember, in a hotel tipping is everything to service. You probably won't have to clean a rented conf. room at the end of a party, but to get some busboys in and out to empty bags on a regular basis will take a little grease.
Unfortunately, I signed up to have my name delivered on the Mars Polar Lander. I guess my name did make it to Mars, as a teeny-tiny collection of letters.
I checked out NorthCentral and Central States based on your comments. NC is regionally accredited but Central is not, only approved by the California Dept. of Ed. Both schools require a minimum of number of credits to be taken "with" the university. NC tuition cost was about $10K (US) and CS about $5K.
It seems these are "degree-completion" programs. All of these completion programs must run off the same playbook. They offer some sort of BBS degree that is heavy on the Total Quality Management garbage that we couldn't escape in the 90's.
There are already open access points in Manhattan, Bryant Park in midtown is one of them. Additionally there are plans to set up similar free access point in much of lower Manhattan. No registration or payment required. There are no efforts to stop this due to security concerns. I wonder where you get your information?
There are many free in things in NYC, you just need to know where to look.
I can't agree with your statement. Max Payne, Medal of Honor, Deus Ex were not crap. I could list many others. You say they cost too much money AND they take too long to play through? Most gamers want lengthy games. Paying $60 and getting 8 hours of gameplay isn't my idea of money well spent. They almost never work properly? Back in the early-mid 90's this was true but in the last 5 years I've found that the majority are pretty stable at release.
Cracked games on Kazaa usually lack the sound and video that makes for a rich gameplay experience. The cracks make them buggy and/or lock you out from online play. Additionally, everyone and their brother renames old garbage files as the latest releases so that they get "credit" for the uploads.
As much as/.'ers love to pick on Windows, I find XP to be a stable and excellent platform for graphics rich, content filled gaming. Say what you will about consoles, but games look better on my PC every time. Console graphics aren't as good as a decent PC.
1) I don't know how many suicides there have been on ST, but this one struck me as powerful. Honestly though, how much cogenitor character development do you want in a 50 minute show? Obvious? I don't know. My feeling was that an obvious Berman ST ending would have been that she lived.
2) Point taken, but does he interfere with cultures or individuals, and does it really matter?
3) Character development. Did Reed sleep with her? or did his icey character seep through and make him back off. I think that was the point.
4) No reprimand? Bakula was Cap'n Hardass last night. Tripp was devastated by the simple dismissal. Tripp worships Archer, considers his friendship with the Cap'n to be one of the greatest parts of his life. Somehow I think that this is much more powerful a statement than rank demotion.
I was impressed by last nights episode. Haven't enjoyed a trek so much since the last few seasons of DS9.
I don't think there's any legal obligation to secure a wireless network.
It looks like NH will pass into law a bill that says if your wireless network is unsecured, no charges can be filed against anyone who comes snooping around your network. I think that's great and coincides nicely with this idea. Can anyone shoot some holes in this theory for me? I wonder if any of those college kids who are getting hit for $97 billion had a wireless setup?
I've had a Nextel here in the US for 5 years now and this problem has always been around. It's the 2 way radio in the unit. If you don't use it, deactivate it. Otherwise, I've learned to keep my Nextel in the luddite corner of my apartment.
I wonder if this could be the type of thing the airlines are worrying about.
Yea, I have to wonder how long it will be until we see reviews of Mini RC cars. Not that they don't look cool, but I have to believe that nothing touted via spam works...I could be wrong, but then we'd all be B I G G E R.
Interestingly enough, the Army's most powerful tanks, the M1A2, don't run FBCB2, they run the older and incompatible system which I believe is called IFIS. The 3rd Division in Iraq had M1A2s with IFIS and the recently deployed 4th is outfitted with FBCB2. The 4th is considered the Army's most "wired" division.
Too bad the links in the Tungsten C story to Staples and Amazon listings didn't work. If they are going to beef this model up to 128 MB RAM it would be very nice to get at the price of $499.
And props to palminfocenter for being awake enough to avoid a/.ing

Thank you. Now I understand the relevance. I will no longer be able to hear Muzak in elevators. A damn shame.

Except something will go awry in the first few attempts and he'll probably run into ET.
NASA knows that the Russians need money for their space program and will probably tolerate this guy as well.
I'm not a fan of unions and wouldn't like to see them dominate the IT sector.
I always thought we should also add the "demi-girlfriend" category to that pitiful group.

we have paper computers. No, no fire risk here.
