Star Trek, like Terri is being murdered by corporate types that don't know anything but what lawyers or marketers tell them.
It's wrong to starve a brain damaged woman to death. That's something you wouldn't even do to a dog, much less a helpless invalid. And it's also wrong [although not quite as much] to take away millions of people's entertainment because they weren't employing the right writers.
Will this reduce projector room fires?
I know my family went to a film in Toronto, and at some point in their movie, the frame stuck, then a spot started to grow on the picture. My Mom realized what was happening, and left the theatre to find some staff, and after explaining longer than she should have had to, got one of them to go put out the fire. The theatre gave them a pass to see another film.
Are you from Saskatchewan? But seriously, I knew you weren't, because SaskTel, the Crown owned phone company, is government operated under the guise of providing equitable service to both urban and rural customers.
But they end up screwing rural customers in a lot of ways anyway.
I for one welcome our VOIP packet shaping telco overlords.
But seriously, this has been a known threat for a while, at least it is a threat to every other P2P service on the Web. Universities routinely packet shape their networks, filtering out P2P filesharing programs, or giving them such a low priority it's as if you're using dial-up when using Kazaa lite.

Tonya Harding is rumoured to be not competing at the Extra Special Olympics, so as not to tarnish her image and hurt her boxing career. This was the reason she gave this past week anyway for not showing up at a wrestling match that she was going to take part in.
On the topic of steroids, I have no doubt she's used them too.
It's not as senseless for Congress to be doing MLB's job, as it is for the media to hype the M Jackson trial. So in that regard I'm glad baseball is providing a welcome media diversion. When/. features a Michael Jackson story, THAT IS when we know/. will have Jumped the Shark.
World wide web standards are going to benefit emensely from Firefox's popularity, since I assume it's a browser that uses real standards, so for people to make sites that work well with it, they will also be making a website that works well with other standards compliant browsers.
In this way Firefox is trailblazing through the world wide web, and going to make things easier for other IE killers.
Assuming they don't want to get caught by/. reading police, he shouldn't say how she found it, or it would give the police another search string to google with and find this story, and then track down the people interfering with their bugging.
http://www.johnytech.com/home.asp The problem with this kind of software is that it can't be tested, without a mole working in the company who's product is being modified. When you type a message in AIM, for all you know it records the characters in a buffer separate from the one that gets encrypted and sent to your friend. The unecrypted one would naturally go straight to AOL for datamining.
http://www.silcnet.org/software/download/client/ At least with an open sorce solution, there's less chance of other people spying on you, but then there's no chance your friends are using it unless you've told them about it. I wouldn't download Silcnet though, because their website sucks, they don't even have an FAQ I could spot to see what the program is or how it does it better than others.
And I propose that in WI they make the tax for downloading an article in/. to be at least 8%, so that the money collected can go to preventing duplicate headlines, saving BSD, and building a functional beowulf cluster of tax grubbing moron politicians.
CBC News just reported about 4000 small earthquakes about 200km off the west coast of Vancouver Island, none no more than 5.x on the Richter scale.
They believe this may be related to the growth of a new underwater volcano, and hope to see it's initial erruption. This is almost certainly connected to the eruption at Mt. St. Helens, and I suspect related to the large earth quakes in south-east asia in December.
Obviously the best way to crack this server is going to be to socially engineer the linux administrator at this company, and get the real root password.
It's probably something like: thislinuxis2coolforU2crax0r
Hmm, that sounds like something I should use as a root password. Forget I mentioned this.
Odds are this company isn't going to publish their friend's IP address. But it would be insteresting if anyone's done that before, and advertised an IP of a foe they said wanted to be cracked.
You know, I think it has more to do with having America as a neighbour. By comparison, Canada's politics is boring, and subdued. However many people are proud of this, even though voter apathy is allowing governments to get away with everything short of murder, and sometimes even that.
One proposed method, supported by well over 50MPs, although I don't know the exact number, is to allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote in federal elections, thus giving them a chance to become active politically before they grow into 18 year olds ready to coast on the system in place for them.
" A $50,000 bond would be a drop in the bucket for ebay,"
Not if it's per-registered seller.
And they are officially a venue as stated in their user agreement, meaning the seller is the one conducting the auction, although that might not stand up in court.
The fact that eBay wasn't considered is even more reason that this law shouldn't go into effect, it wasn't thought out at all.
That's also highly unusual. Fewer than 2% of Canadian adults are actively involved in party politics, which means that that powerful few is who is deciding everyone's leaders, and the next Prime Ministers. A PM doesn't happen unless he's voted into leading a party, and only those 2% do that.
The possibility of having one's blog data mined by identity theives, or your family's enemies is something to keep in mind when writing too. If you wouldn't want your Grandmother discussing what you're talking about, it's probably a better idea to vent verbally to a friend [as long as you don't know Linda Tripp], than to put your rant into writing for potentially hostile people to read.

It's an annoying idea too, because what happens on the weekend, when you want to FIND the damn thing to program it not to go off at 7am?
Each day you have to hunt for a device that should just BE THERE on the table.
".. wanna buy a byte? Brand new...."
How much for a 0 bit? I'll give you 2 bits.

IE7 will be known as Microsoft Interweasel.

Can someone confirm that only the latest ALPHA version is multisession, and
Also I wish they had a torrent available, I feel almost bad with Puppy being caught with its pants down, torrentless.

Maybe Google's toolbar should be known as "Screw-ware".
It uploads your datamined hard drive's details to them so they can better screw you with their marketing department.
It's the software that you keep paying for, and don't even realize you're bending over.
