they are overzealous in their blocking.
They have repeatedly blocked the class B of my providers, provider.
Then your provider's provider needs to re-evaluate their customers and the way their smtp architecture is setup. I would've felt sorry for you a few years ago, but recently we setup anti-spam filtering and found that 75% of our incoming mail was spam. That's astonishing to think of the resources we were wasting before to process that shit.
The Purpose of the government is to serve me. people got together and created the US governemnt to be an insitute to serve the people. to be a servant of the people. And one of the primary duties of the government is to protect the people.
Yes, yes, yes. The government "served me" a few weeks ago when it extorted half of my income from me and redistributed it to other people. I'm all for a limited government, but the people chose in the 1930's under duress of the Great Depression that the government would no longer be the servant and would instead turn into the master.
The government is NOT supposed to protect someone from themselves.
Then explain drug laws. I'll sit here patiently and wait for your answer. Using "drug lords are dangerous and fund terrorism" as an argument will be immediately discarded since if drugs were legal, drug lords and street pushers would be eliminated by simple market economics.
It's Governments that need to be put under surveillance- NOT the public.
What garbage. The Government is there to protect us, its children. That's why we have things like welfare, social security, etc. We are children and the government is the parent. Anyone in their right mind accepts the fact that the parent must sometimes invade the child's privacy when necessary to protect them (searching for drugs, sexual and/or criminal activity, etc.). So accept that in a modern democracy, the government must invade your privacy at times to protect you from harm. If you don't believe that then maybe you should be grounded for the next few years in a terrorist detention facility.
That's way less than they anticipated. Only 5 million out of 100 knocked me flat. Since iTunes serves a pretty specific market, I guess that says a lot. Especially since the tracks are free. The question on my mind: how many of those 100 million winners actually reached folks? TFA mentioned something about distribution problems.
I redeemed my 3 free songs and to be honest with you, I'd never use iTunes Music Store again unless they had another free song promotional giveaway. I can't easily convert the songs I downloaded to MP3s unless I burn and re-rip (loss of quality). In the end I will continue to use Poisoned for my music needs since: a) songs are free with that, and b) no DRM mp3 format. Besides, who has 99 cents to blow on a single friggin song? I'd rather spend my money on something more useful and just use P2P networks to get lame ass songs.
Sure a WYSIWYG is good for short memos and shit. That's why "write" exists. But for manuals, books, papers and reports LaTeX is always the best choice.
Whatever. WTF are you writing that can't be done in Word? LaTeX looks like some complicated programming language.. hardly the thing the average person is going to use to write a paper or even a book unless you're some science nerd.
We've got unopened copies for the PDP-1 and the DEC Rainbow, maybe we can cut a deal too!
I don't think they're making a version for the PDP-1 or DEC Rainbow, but it's worth a shot asking if they plan to port to that platform. Otherwise I imagine their upgrade policy will apply to the same platform you're upgrading to or *maybe* going from Windows to Linux if you're lucky.
...the system works with the 'woofer' producing the single note within a sealed container. From what I heard on NPR, the sound is no more loud then walking into a large server room and hearing the fans run. It's just a bit deeper of a sound.
Err, I guess I won't be getting one of these for my house anytime soon. My "large" server room really needs hearing protection if you're going to stay in there for a few minutes. Farking loud Cisco stuff.
Most have. A few have been dismissed (the most famous is the grandmother who has a Mac). At least one has countersued. But for the most part they've been paying up.
I guess honestly if you play with fire then expect to get punished. I was speeding, got pulled over and got a speeding ticket. Instead of bitching about it I just paid it. I was clearly in the wrong doing almost 20mph over the limit. People sharing hundreds of songs via the Internet is clearly illegal and they should expect consequences if they lose the gamble that no one will catch them.
You can't get WMP9 without Windows. Hence the quoted price. What are you smoking?
Windows comes for free on almost any new computer unless you go out of your way to buy one without it (which is next to impossible). Also my campus bookstore sells copies of Windows XP Pro for $20. When coupled with a $20 copy of Office 2003 Pro, there's not much reason for my to use Linux for my office computing needs. I admit that's a special case as most people would pay more than that for that software but we have campus-wide licensing deals with Microsoft so we benefit from that.
Why are you reinstalling your machine every month? I've reinstalled once in about 3 years and that was because I put in a new motherboard and upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro and didn't want crufty driver issues popping up down the road. What the heck are you doing to your system that you need to reinstall it so often? Regular spyware scans and a good antivirus program has kept my machine running like a top. Sometimes I really wonder why people bitch about Windows since it's been running great for me on my hardware.
Now all we need are the HD porn channels to go with it! Buy it once, watch it again (and again) later!
Pssst, don't tell anyone, but there's pornography right here on the Internet. You don't even need a TV or DirecTV subscription. Don't let anyone else know or they might shut us down though so keep it on the down-low.
I think if this sort of thing isn't against OSHA standards, it should be. Stools should be required for any employee that would otherwise have to stand in one place for hours.
There's a funny Seinfeld episode where George insists they give the security guard a chair because the poor guy has to stand around for 8 hours. He of course falls asleep once he finally gets a chair.;-)
X1 is best bang for the buck, but be aware that you may notice "rainbows" from the unit (search the avsforum for description of the phenomenon). I noticed them and knew I couldn't tolerate them.
I bought one (Infocus X1) and didn't think I'd tolerate it either but I soon began to ignore it. I never notice it anymore unless it's a really dark scene with a lot of motion. Otherwise it's fantastic to have a projector at home. I never go to the movie theater anymore and just rent/buy DVDs instead. Hell, I didn't even buy a screen since it looks great on my blank white basement wall (drywall w/white paint). If you've got the money to spend I'd definitely suggest going this route and picking up a projector. It's very cool.
This is exactly why I didn't buy one (or two or three), even though I'd have been a prime candidate. I don't want to pay a monthly fee, and Tivo screwed the pooch by not selling people like me what they have and we want.
Yea, they should let you choose to either use their guide data for a monthly fee or get it via some other mechanism like through a PC that screen-scraped it with xmltv. Whatever, I just built a MythTV box and pay nothing.
in Part 3, it's explained that the time circuits run on Mr. Fusion, but the internal combustion engine (which dies due to a fuel leak) physically moves the car. No engine = no movement = no way to get to 88 mph.
Which is why I mentioned that in 2015 electric engines will be pretty common. You'd think he would've thought about swapping out that 30 year old internal combustion engine with a new efficient electric engine that probably puts out a LOT more power AND could run off Mr. Fusion directly.;-)
We don't have the right to distribute pirated works online, but do we seriously expect this right in the future? Is anyone SERIOUSLY arguing for the right to disseminate the creations of other people for free?
This is Slashdot, Of course we're seriously arguing that we have a right to disseminate the creations of other people for free. Personally I believe copyrights, patents, and trademarks should be completely abolished. It's an antiquated system meant to create a temporary monopoly for decades when the speed of the success or failure of products in modern industry is measured in months or even weeks.
What happens when the amount time it takes to transfer all the data from one medium to another is longer than the life time of the media on which it currently resides?
It's probably time to start re-evaluating that decision to use quantum computing. What the hell kind of media are you going to use that it takes 5 years to transfer your data to? By another drive, or two, or three.
The army needs to find a way to harness the power of online gamers who spend most of their waking hours playing games. They need to build robots that are controlled via a FPS game like Desert Combat so that you're actually controlling a robot when you're running around the map. It would make warfare against other nations fun again. They wouldn't even need to train soldiers to fight anymore, just get the gamers to do it for them.
With a Mr. Fusion you'd just have to give some lamer, cheap excuse....
Like "I never thought ahead to convert my flying time machine to run on an electric engine instead of this antiquated internal combustion engine"? What kind of scientist was Doc Brown anyway.. he couldn't think of that? I imagine electric engines would be VERY common in a time when you can buy a little conversion kit called Mr. Fusion to supply gigawatts of electric power to a car. Even still, you'd think he could've built an electric engine when he was trapped back in the old west and just used batteries to store power generated by Mr. Fusion if he wants to use the excuse that he needs every bit of power from Mr. Fusion at the time of time travel to power the flux capacitor. I guess I'm too much of a dork to be analyzing that lame ass third movie this much, but for the record, my time machine coupled with a fusion reactor that runs on garbage will most definitely be a GM EV1.
Sounds like the average middle-class worker in the Democrats' minds. People making over $50k/year are "rich" according to them and their oppressive taxes.
Oh wait, if it went off without a hitch in an electronic system, there's no record. Nevermind.
Of course there's a record. How do you think they count the votes? If there's one record then they can have the machine create two at seperate locations. Hell, create a dozen records in different databases. If they don't match up then discard the vote as flawed.

Not usually. You'd need to start in a lower court and work your way up. It's very unlikely your spam case would ever reach the Supreme Court.

eBay is a shady company? Never had a problem with Paypal yet, but I've only used it twice.
