Ironic how a story about security patches... Has been post bombed into oblivion. Do/. editors clean up messes like this, or do they just moderate the trolls down to -1 and leave them on the system?
Yes, addresses outside the USA are not "confirm"able by PayPals laughable standards. This is why Canadapost cannot be trusted in their eyes to deliver material to and from Canadians, even though the Xpresspost works well for tracking, and delivery signatures.
PayPal has just introduced nonUS currency accounts, and they trick people into sending money to Canadians in CAD, while slicing off an "exchange fee" on top of the exchange. Then if the person in Canada rightfully rejects the useless CAD payment, then the full payment is not refunded to the sender because it is converted back the USD where PayPal takes another cut. They are slicing the pie at both ends.
And if you live in Canada, you can neither send nor receive merchandise, and be covered by PayPal's seller protection, because Canadapost is not recognized as a shipper by PayPal.
www.paypalsucks.com and if you use it for anything more than playmoney on the internet, you are a bafoon. PayPal is only for buyers with credit cards, not for sellers who are dumb enough to use it.
The only reason "cutting edge" drives the economy, and determines whether or not a technology lives or dies, is because the economy is driven by "bleeding idiots" who are manipulated by anyone that wants to stay ahead of the curve.
Every Amiga user I've talked to [one] can't stop raving about how wonderful it was, and how it got them interested in programming, and computers. Maybe we leave the bleeding idiots in the dust this time, and set our own trends...?
Well AC smoker, you prove my point rather well. The whiner doesn't even have the courage to speak to me and face the wrath of the moderators.
How can you compare the economic style of the world with the incalculable human suffering caused by hunger and smoking? The space program is providing medical treatments, and increasing our knowledge about the universe, while cigarettes are the symbol of ignorance, poverty, and greed.
It is sad that Russians are seen as such as separate entity from North Americans, that our money is too good for them. We'd rather burn our money, than help them work with us and build unity, and science. AC smoker you make me very mad!
Russia has problems that plague the USA, and NASA. Just a few months ago, a person on the ground was killed when a Proton rocket exploded when launched. Less than 20 years ago, NASA lost 7 people to the Challenger disaster. I don't think Russia has any greater problems than NASA.
In fact I think it is wonderful that they are given the oportunity to contribute to a world class effort like the ISS. Go and look at it.. There isn't anything more spectacular in the space program than that, for the moment. Missions to the Moon are a long way off for NASA.
The discussion of space exploration always brings out the whiners about how much money it is costing, when it could be feeding the hungry. Oh, yeah? So could all the money put into the tobacco industry, and canceling cigarettes would actually benefit mankind, not removing our link to space.
I hate getting audio to work in Linux Mandrake and Red Hat. I had a run of the mill opti 931 audio card, and neither distribution had support for it. I popped in a new card in my custom machine, and had better luck in both my Dell 166MHz, after trying Mandrake 9.0 Linux is not yet for desktop entertainment computers. I can't wait till it is ready, and I can kiss MS goodbye.
Real already knows my genenetic code they have so much junk watching me when I install Real software with default options. They've probably figured out a way to have my monitor probe my brain.
It's been a long code, Getting from IRIX to here, It's been a long time, But Linux time is finally near. I see Torvalds dream come alive at last, Kissing Irix'es goodbye, And they're not gonna hold me down no more, No they're not gonna change my mind... yadda yadda you get the idea...

"If I write something then I own the copyright on it. If you copy it, you are in the wrong."
Actually that is the "copywrong law" you are talking about. Please read the link and think about it before you post comments on it.
The idea of pay-per-use is so very wrong, that I think anyone who has had to use a pay toilet will know that I speak the truth.
Yes, and so does UPS. If you want to pay 5 times as much for a brokerage fee, a US courier is better than Canadapost.

Using an AOL site as a reference, is like...
well I don't know a good analogy, but SHIT man, you just DON'T do that!
3 seconds, Wow! That beats both my Commodore and Radio Shack color computer II!

I'll have to keep my eye on it too

Actually AC, the Proton is the rocket, the Soyuz is the capsule.

You beat me to my favourite Moores Law joke.
I guess that proves Murphy's Law:
If anything can go wrong, it will.
How much longer before we all get WiFi...
Installed in our brains so the government can track us, and we can operate eBay from our cars?
Paranoia? I don't think so!
Vmyths ought to steer this OP right.
Mr. Gibson does about as much good for computers, as Symantec Antivirus does for JokeADay.com.

They don't pick noses.
They don't get stressed.
They go to sleep when told to.
They aren't ticklish.
And they are smarter too. I can't read binary, but my computer can beat anyone who can.

There are 11 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who don't, and me.
Don't most Linux distros tell you that you are a "stupid fricken moron" for running anything like IRC when logged in as root?

Captain! She canna take it na more! I have to shut the engines down!
DOH!
Err, your fly is down!
Made you look!
hee hee.
It's been a long code,
Getting from IRIX to here,
It's been a long time,
But Linux time is finally near.
I see Torvalds dream come alive at last,
Kissing Irix'es goodbye,
And they're not gonna hold me down no more,
No they're not gonna change my mind...
yadda yadda you get the idea...
How could it not be a hoax?
"Hodges had tried various other ways to ameliorate the discomfort his de-gloved testicles gave him. Ether vapour worked."
No scientist other than a biologist would write that in a log.
Ever seen Star Trek IV where Scotty sits down and talks into the mouse? .... Hello Computer?"
"Computer....
Other guy: "*ahem* you have to use the keyboard."
"KEYBOARD?! How quaint."
