The scientific benefits are still uncertain, and the statistics as to whether your child would need it are pretty low. Better to donate, save your money, and increase the odds that someone will be helped
Guns are the easiest and most common way to commit suicide, falls account for only 2.5% of US suicides, where as guns are >50%. To have that high a suicide rate without access to the "best" method is even more frightening.
My wife and I didn't understand the tag thing, and had put our DSLR camera bag inside her carry on duffle bag. While in the airport (5 hour delay) we took the camera bag out. The guard checking bags at the gate before we boarded had a panic attack that the bag didn't have a tag. We offered to put it back in the other bag, but instead had to run back to the security check point and rescan it so it could have it's own tag...
Then the police have a way to tie the burglary and murder together, increasing the chances the criminal will be caught. Or you can run around with a tin foil hat thinking they are all out to get you, your choice:)
There are a number of difficulties that arise from spam fighting at the sending point. If the ISP allows pop/smtp access the server, there is no standard way to transmit the captcha to the user. You have to return an url, and hope their email client will display the url, and that the user will be able to figure out to go it. The other is that as long as only some ISPs present captchas on outgoing mail, users will be inclined to switch to ones that don't. There is little benefit at this point to an ISP to filter the outgoing mail. Much easier to let the receiving end be responsible for mistakes. And all of this ignores the fact that the majority of spam is sent via compromised home machines not routing the traffic through an ISP mta, or vulnerable formmail/web scripts.

Actually, that's really only true if you go about it by trying to "find" the bad users.
If you want, instead, to look for good, legitimate users with regular useage patterns, the only thing you need is the data and a single sign-on distributed across the systems. You make it easy to get a bad reputation, and hard to get a good one, just like real life. Then voting systems can more heavily favour the consistently useful users, etc.
omr-blah is actually AOL's e-mail bouncing complex. That is why all the messages show up as having a null return path. No real spam filtering on those, as the messages aren't considered to have really been "sent" by AOL, someone else hit AOL with mail from fake addresses, to addresses they knew didn't exist.
I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard starts releasing games with a monthly subscription fee soon. I also wouldn't be surprised if they would like to be able to use their existing server infrastructure. If someone knows how to emulate it, and can set up competing servers, how are they possibly going to get their monthly fee out of you? I know, oh boo hoo, they can't get more money out of me, but it is their product, their service, and I bet if you couldn't get it for free you would pay for it anyways, so it isn't that ridiculous
You mean, some senator, who has been sending letters for who knows how many years, doesn't think it's unreasonable that people know the same amount about his e-mail as they do letters. Or that, having actually left his house over the last couple years, has come to grips with the fact that if you walk into the little pornking store next door your neighbors might notice, and so can anyone who cares? I really don't think anonymity is all it's cracked up to be. If you haven't got the balls to say what you want/need to say you need to either get balls or change the system that makes you afraid to talk. Not learn how to talk without anyone knowing who you are. Civil Disobedience is doing something against unjust laws and saying I did that, and this is why. Not being anonymous. Get over the fact that just because you are sitting in your home, your ethernet packets aren't and people can see them. Sheesh
The article makes the point that fandom.com relies on traffic from people like trekkies to be popular. Most of them, from what I've seen, will simply abandon a site if they don't like the ideas behind it. Within a year or so, companies will realize that it simply isn't possible to make a living off of doing things like this, the money will be gone, and the whole issue will be moot. People seem far to eager to look to a law or court to settle things like this, and then turn around and complain that laws and the court are too omnipresent. The internet can not be controlled, and eventually these people will simply whither and die
Both Gore and Bush are basing their dollar amounts for new projects based on very rosy best case estimates for the budjet surplus. What are the percentages various areas receive, as opposed to actual numbers, and if the surplus falls short, which items will receive the most priority and which will be axed.
People seem to be confused about whether this is a Napster clone or a Gnutella clone or a SETI clone, etc. This is rather reasonable, since as near as I can tell it is a combination of Napster and SETI. SETI works on a small amount of data that is stored locally on your computer. This will work on a huge amount of data, which is stored in a distributed fashion as well. So, when a work request is submitted to a central computer, it gets sent to an idle machine, which accesses the relevant data through the network, performs the desired calculations, returns the results to the scientist, and probably also stores the results in the massive distributed database. It is more similar to Napster than Gnutella, I think, due to the centralization neccessary to manage it
If you want privacy, don't use public forums/exchanges/etc. Same thing goes with the "real" world. If you don't want people to see you have sex, don't do it in Time Square or Central Park. To take what people think privacy should be to the real world, you would have some means of completely disguising your identity, so that you could have sex in Central Park and have it be "private." Anybody with a brain, however, would realize that you aren't doing it privately, only anonymously. We are not guaranteed a right to anonymity, and I'm not entirely sure we should be able to be anonymous in a public forum. If you aren't willing for it to be YOU saying it in public, then you quite possibly shouldn't be saying it. If you should be saying it, you should be working against the forces that make you uncomfortable voicing those thoughts as a human being, not fighting for your right to hide.
The article mentions that this is a question that has interested both scientists and philosophers. This is semi-correct. Philosophers are curious about what it is like to see red, or not to see red. Just because we know the brain interprets red as formula x, we don't know how it FEELS to actually see red. We could make a machine that would use formala x to recognize red, but would that machine experience the same feeling as a person would? That is the philosophical question, which there discovery doesn't really answer at all

This plug-in goes some small way towards rectifying the situation, using a trick with layers to fake CMYK support.
If the developer himself says it only goes some small way to fixing the problem, and fakes support, it's hard to say CMYK is supported

omr-blah = the systems that send out bounces. virii and such sending mail that says it's from your domain to addresses that don't exist at AOL either.
You are misunderstanding the plethora of commas in that sentence. You are prohibited from doing each comma seperated action.
No e-mail server.
No ftp server.
No business enterprise.
Etc.
It's an or, not an and.
Please bear in mind, the server you are killing is not "the spammers" computer, it's a computer that spammer has compromised.
You are actually rebooting some poor schmuck who used to have a "slow" computer, and now has one that doesn' work right.
Check to see what netblock the dsl line is in and let the provider know instead.
