So I create some piece of software that has a login window where-in anything at all with the numeral '7' contained it is a valid password! Can I now send take-down letters to any website that has the numeral '7' on it? Maybe with my take-down letter I'll also send an invoice for $50 for an 'out-of-court-settlement'. 1. Find all websites containing numeral 7. 2. Send take-down and invoice. 3. Profit!

... as all the Linux geeks rush out and buy a drive and a movie just so they can watch the movie on Linux then boast about it to their friend.
Lots of people have already mentioned A and B, but your C, D and E really could put the 'social' back into "welcome to the social".
C would be like that phenomenon I read about where-by two random iPod users would stop and swap ear-phone jacks for a short while, just to 'try out' what the other person was listening to.
D would be fantastic for bands wanting to make a more lasting impression on people going to live shows. Let them 'be squirted' a couple of tracks from the show, and they are far more likely to remember said show/band.
E This might be cute for couples etc, and also groups of people who need to 'sync up' (like practicing cheerleaders...hrrn...hrrn) without disturbing others around (if there is not too much latency).
It's a shame I hate Microsoft and anything they do so much, otherwise I would inclined to send them a message with these suggestions as these would be the sorts of things that could really make me want to buy a Zune (not that I like stranger's music, go see live bands or have a partner, but still, it would be cool).
Yeah well, the image that immediately came* to my mind was a couple of cheerleaders in matching mini-skirts and clingy tops, each with a zune, practicing a new routine next to each other... in rhythm.
I RTFA and I don't recall it saying anything about it affecting his ability to work (the actual firing incident that is).
According to TFA, during a 5-10 minute downtime (whilst the 'machine' did some sort of wafer measurement or something) he logged into a chat-room. Then he was called away from his desk and a cow-orker passing by decided to read all the stuff on his screen and found a textual description of a sexual act.
Nothing ever said that he couldn't do his job.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that all PJ did was report and provide comments on publicly available transcripts and documents that were part of the courtroom proceedings.
Has she ever referred to or made comments on any information that wasn't available to the general public anyway?
From time to time I need to run things like activity monitor or disk utility.
Currently I have to open a Finder window, type 'uti' (or scroll down using the blue thingy), expand the utilities if not already open, type 'act' (or scroll down more using the blue thingy), press 'Enter', remember that this was not the right thing to do, press ESC to get back out of rename mode, press Apple-O to open it.
Using spotlight not only navigates there just as quickly, but lets me open the app by pressing Enter.
That Apple-space combination is good to know. Thanks

In my particular version of cubicle-hell I estimate that there are probably 120 people within the same "open plan" area (ie. without walls) and all the partitions are only about 1 metre high.
We are group into "corrals" of 8 people, and I can clearly hear the conversations of people who are 3 corrals away. Sometimes I can even hear people right at the other end of the space, ie. the full '120 people' away. (I think the ceiling must be particularly reflective or something)
As for the open-plan apologists who prattle on about "collaboration" etc, the people 3 corrals way don't even work for the same company as me.
Needless to say, I get very little work done there.
Nothing's stopping someone from hanging the same sign on a 'cube.
<sarcasm>Yes, because of course all of sound waves emanating from the 50 or so noisy people crammed around my particular cubicle-hell will defy the laws of physics by instantly halting at my cubicle wall just because I stick a little bit of yellow paper there.</sarcasm>
Wanker!

Hey, that's cool. I literally copied (^c) and pasted (^v) your python implementation of InsertionSort into a python session in a Terminal and it worked exactly as advertised!
What's cooler is that I then tried it with letters which also worked as you would expect... >>> y = [ 'm', 'p', 'r', 'a', 'z', 'w', 'hello'] >>> InsertionSort(y) >>> y ['a', 'hello', 'm', 'p', 'r', 'w', 'z'] >>>
I don't know what they use or how they do it, but my main email address is with Yahoo and they seem to have solved the problem.
Each month I get maybe 800 odd spam emails and a dozen or so real emails.
Once every month or so I get an email in my inbox which is spam and I click the 'this is spam' button. About September last year was the last time a real email ended up the bulk (spam) email folder. I used to check and delete the spam emails every couple of days, but now just let it build up and be deleted by the 30 day time out.
Obviously a web-based account is not quite as convenient as a local account, but it seems to handle the spam onslaught and still be useful.
I still dont understand why companies dont like telecommuting.
It's because most middle-level managers get paid on the basis of how many employees they have under them. In order to increase their salary, they prefer to have lots and lots of inefficient and unproductive employees rather than only a few efficient and productive ones.
I can hold a conversation with the guy on the other side of the wall while speaking in a low voice
You're lucky. I used to have to email the guy at the next desk to mine because he couldn't hear me over the general hubbub of the "open plan cubicle hell" that we worked in.
I have a pair and they are great. Everyone I lend them to is amazed at the sound quality whilst still being able to clearly hear what is going on around.
I have ended up buying about 4 pairs now just because my girlfriend, brother-in-law, girlfriends aunt, etc. all wanted a pair after they tried mine.
The ability to fold does not seem to affect the durability as the hinge is metal and quite strong.

Seems to me what you are really saying is that the internet should ban Thailand.
>Users who call up a company they have no relation to in order to tell them their tech decisions are bad are complete morons.
Unless of course that company is EV1Servers and their decision is to pay the SCO license.
