Voip calls aren't free, someone has to pay for the networks thats running the IP traffic. Then there's a cost for your internet connection.

You actually beat doom 3? I got bored with the same dark levels, constant spawning of enemies behind you. Story length has nothing to do with how good the game is especially if your doing the exact same shit over and over.

I think those reviews are fair, little bit on the high side. 80% is what I would have rated it because the story should have been longer. Compared to morrowind(90%) whose story is too drawn out and takes you an hour to get anywhere.
Camera's help, help get revenue for the government. Here in LA they found that a red light camera was "mis-timed" and gave out 10,000 tickets to people who didn't run the red light. You can always tell a red light camera intersection from a regular intersection by yellow light times. Yellow light times on camera enforced intersections are insanely low, if you don't slam on your brakes when the light turns yellow, you'll run the light.
My favorite is that red light cameras have no way to catch people with brand new cars(Aka higher income demographics). Since all you get a little piece of paper and no plates. There's no way to figure out the owner of the car. I went 1 year before I actually putting on my plates, I know lot people who've went longer. Since its just a fixit ticket if you actually get caught, and no one checks. Also red lights camera's appear in lower income areas. You won't find them Santa Monica,Thousand Oaks or any other well off city.(Note: I said city, bev hills is part of LA city) Those cities do have cameras at their lights but they are regular monitoring cameras.
Considering a user would have to go into his IE settings and set "Restricted" zone to allow for both scripting and activex which are off by default. Why is this even posted? It would be lot easier for phishers to attach a zip file with an executable and tell the user to run it.
Umm. If someone called up my company and asked to know the my firewall manufactor,or anything about my network. I'd tell them to get lost. If it was customer, I'd tell them we maintain 99.9999% uptime and thats he needs to know while supplying him with MRTG graphs.
I have both original xbox(bought 1st day), and psx2(bought 1st day). They easilly have built up thousands of hours of usage. Between me and my other roommate and collection over a 100 games, we never experienced any problems with both. We have experienced lot of software glitches, "ready to rumble" psx2 crashes on a regular basis and "morrowind"(xbox) my saved game became so large it no longer works. I had problems with crimson sky crashing, but then realized it wasn't smart idea to put the xbox on top of our dvr, too much heat. And it stopped crashing when I moved it by it self.
Only 1st hand account of problems with a gamesystem is my friends psx2 stop reading discs, he took it back under warranty and got a new one and hasn't had a problem since.
DVD burners are quite common now, you can easily pick one up for $30(after rebate) or $60(no rebate). They are also becoming standard on prebuilt computers. Now if only dual layer media(currently $8 to $10 a piece) would come down in price, I need way to record HDTV shows since my dvr only store like 15 hours of hdtv and the harddrive is always full.
i'm left leaning and both bush and kerry support the 9-11 commissions recommendations(aka patriot act 2). Third party choices are the only way to go now if you want your civil liberties protected. Such a sad state the US is in.
Not a lot missiles can reach 70,000 feet. No chance a shoulder fired missile could hit it, you need a very big rocket to hit something that high. Only time they be vunerable is taking off and landing. They also use helium instead of hydrogen.
Whats worse is that 9/10 of the bug fixes were patched in earlier bug fixes. So if you were already fully patched, only 1 could affect you. I don't understand how this is news. If you were running unpatched, you were already vunerable.
Messaging client isn't executing the code. The user is recieving the file and executing it manually. We can blame ms for allowing users to recieve.exes with messenger, but after they ban.exe, virus writers will just zip it first.
DirecTivoHD is $1000+ if you can find it, my adelphia HDTV reciever is $15/m(including hdtv service). My adelphia box is getting software updates every couple weeks, just last week I got a guide that actually shows the next couple hours of shows instead of what was currently on. Still waiting for the DVI driver to get written, adelphia says they are working on it so i'm stuck with component.
Other than the box is slow and no dvi yet, its lot cheaper than shelling out a grande for directivehd.
Dumb users don't know how to patch their systems or install every single activx install popup. Bad choice for dumb users, which is why I put my dad on opera.
My company's first experiment in web applications was a php app. When I started, we were recieiving customer complaints about the application being slow. It could have been poor coding,I dunno since I don't program in PHP. CTO ordered me to do a line for line port to asp.net. Peforming asp.net bad practices of using inline code, and having business logic embedded pages, we finished the line for line port. Application ran at least 50% faster, now it could have been that php runs as ISAP filter on Server 2003 and asp.net runs native. But still, 50% faster for the line by line port. But anyway we eventually rewrote the app, and never had a complaint about the app being slow.
Now all our apps are either JSP or asp.net. I'm never programed in php, but the experience with performance issues has left a bad taste in my mouth.
Yawn, Those trusts are tax scams and make a good way to pay your relatives or friends. Read the fine print.
(b) all transaction costs with the excersise... including the Annual fee of the Administrative Agent
Notice the administrative agent is blacked out. I wonder who it is, and their salary(friend or family member). If he's getting at least $200k to $400k a year, that $8 million value is going to disappear pretty fast.

Stop light technology wouldn't work in the US, people would try to time it and which in return will cause people to run red lights.

If you put anoter cert up on there, you'll get a warning message both on IE, mozilla and other browsers saying the cert does not match host.
Of course this is meaningless since most people don't know what ssl is, or even to look for a key so the phishing website won't even have ssl.
$1200 for $0.10 worth of gold that is going flake off eventually.

I want a cat that can kick itself. So i don't have to do it myself.
Who wants to buy a "beta" product. Tell me when its done and gone gold, then i'll consider it.
WTF would is child obscenity? When your child says "shit","dick" or "pig fucker"?

At least new technology will answer my question, "Did i leave the oven on?".
The CERT Coordination Center has received reports of a vulnerability in implementations of the Java Applet Security Manager. This vulnerability is present in the Netscape Navigator 2.0 Java implementation and in Release 1.0 of the Java Developer's Kit from Sun Microsystems, Inc. These implementations do not correctly implement the policy that an applet may connect only to the host from which the applet was loaded.
