I think Nike and any other company that exploits 3rd world labour forces, should be taken to the cleaners. They are as despicable as big tobacco, and just as ugly. I would support any other company that makes a sneaker that is as comfortable and lasts as long.
Nike is no dummy when it comes to marketing. Considering that nearly everyone wears shoes at some point in the day, it is a cut throat market. I'm sure many good companies have gone the way of the dodo, because American law didn't provide them with adaquate protection from companies like Nike who exploit the human race.
I don't know about your email servers, but don't you go under the assumption that your email is being read by your ISP, or your boss?
How does the US expect their defectors to reply to the offers? They can't very well send them by email for fear of being nabbed. Maybe they tell them to draw a big 'V' in the ground so the spy satellites can see that they want to vacate Iraq?
Luck is on the makers of Kazaa's side. California doesn't have a millitary, so they can't do anything. Personally I'd take it as a compliment if California didn't want me, it would mean I'm on the right track.
Any state where they let OJ go for murder, but rule he is responsible in civil court, is so messed up, I can't understand why most people haven't left.
I remember buying a 10MB 2 bay high MFM hard drive which cost $10 [Canadian], exactly 10 years ago. I got it to replace a 170MB drive that had just died, but my Dad later repaired.
I wonder if I can get 20 one GB drives for $20US. I'd buy those now. One drive that large though, just doesn't make sense to me. Why not just buy a DVD burner?
Now if we combine those 3D printers with this project, and come up with a cheap material for the printer to use that can produce Crown Royal and Coke, then we're in business...
I know you were making a joke, but surprisingly my Timex/Microsoft DataLink watch has been the most reliable watch I've ever owned. For many years it kept accurate time for up to 3 weeks at a time before needing the seconds reset, and the Data Link can be used with P4 computers running at most Windows 98 [maybe ME, and 2000] as long as they are slowed down using a utility for making the processor very busy.
The only thing I get close to a BSOD is the Indiglo when I press the button, and it turns the screen a bluish green colour.
Do you remember about that software package that was mentioned on/. about the coder that was fired for putting a comment on the "help" button: "What kind of an idiot needs help with this?"
Not an exact quote, but you get the idea. He was fired, and the company sent letters to their customers explaining that they didn't think they were idiots afterall.
This isn't too surprising since all a planet has to have to be habitable is a small enough mass to not crush our bodies, ideally a natural radiation shield, and only enough heat per square meter to provide energy while not cooking our structures. Some natural resources that we can eat and drink would be nice too.
Jupiter like planets will have satellites that might have the right sized radius to allow us to live on them. They don't all have to be planetesimals like Mars.
I was a big Hotmail fan until I found Yahoo to have twice the room for free, and literlly NO SPAM. The custom filter option in Hotmail now is restricted to just 10 filters. I have 32, and if I edit them once now, I'm sunk. 10 can't possibly keep out all I'm succeeding with now.
Boobs [I wish I had real email with this in the title, but I don't] Virgins [Once again, wishful thinking] DVD [Don't own a drive yet] FREE [Do your friends tell you you are getting something for free?]
And I don't bother reading any "Re:Your Inquiry" emails. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to send an email to someone with the subject "Your Inquiry"?
Not lonely, but another analyis could determine that I have too much broken junk on my shelves. It is just a coincidence that some of it depicts male sex organs.
And AC, no I didn't go over and suck on the joysticks.
Don't call me wierd for saying this, but I was looking at 2 dead joysticks on my shelf the other day, and noticed how they looked oddly similar to male sex organs. Now if a feminist made this connection, and had a thing against male sex organs, then the computer gaming industry could be in real trouble;-)

Your grousing is another fine /. tradition. My grousing about your grousing, yet another.
"The message includes instructions to the e-mail recipients to contact the United Nations in Iraq if they want to defect."
OK evilempireinc, what method of contact did the email's recommend? Telephone, winking, email, fax, letter bomb?
You haven't heard of telephone monitoring? My goodness even a mother of a teenager knows about that.
You aren't being very sensitive. Pictures of Allah are forbiden because he is too holy.

I bet that the "toner" for printers like this will be a tad more than the average laser printer toner.
Anyone want to bet against me?
Dude, I bet you can still sell them on eBay. People buy anything, even guns and stuff they lost for original toys.

I have an Indiglo Datalink, so my watch gives off radiation, and reads computer screens. It was also less than $80 5 years ago.
Who got the better deal, me or the shumck who know how many rads they got?
So you are saying that by installing Linux on your desktop PC, you are dumping a load of crap on it?
But if you install Windows you are tinkling on it?
I went to read more about him and got this:
"Blog from William Gibson Coming Soon"
You'd think a writer would keep a blog up-to-date.
Well did you think BeOS, or FreeDOS is the next big thing?
What else would be number 2 on the desktop? It is hard to install OS X on "desktop" computers, and we already know what is number 1.

I've only had my Yahoo account since last year and my Hotmail account since 1997, so this may not be a fair comparison:
Yahoo spam today:
0
Hotmail spam today:
18
Which is doing a better job at stopping spam you say?
Can you imagine having a mandatory GPS in the Pioneering days? The Oregon Trail game sure would have been different:
Travelled: precisely 15.24 miles today.
Health: Pa died of snake bite.
You mean a scientific hypothesis could be wrong?!
Holy moly, who'd have thought that science could have taken a hypothesis as fact, without testing it first?
Really, did anyone think that we wouldn't ever improve our understanding of science to think of "constants" in a different way?
Not lonely, but another analyis could determine that I have too much broken junk on my shelves.
