It's not illegal software. It simply allows a search interface to the windows network. I can find the client, but not the server? Seems to me this should be as prevailant as DeCSS. It could easily be modified to look for files that are very much legally shareable (our company has a proprietary file format and test files are always in demand) I could modify Phynd to allow only searches for this file format and we could easily browse the entire organization's network for these files. As it is we use XP's search engine, but phynd would be much more L337
I have a GA7VAXP Gigabyte mobo with USB2.0 and Firewire.
Is it the real 2.0 or the 1.1 2.0? I want to buy a 6 in 1 or 7 in 1 card reader with a USB 2.0 port in the front. Is that 1.1 2.0 or 2.0 2.0?
I bet the USB board members all have 8in dicks that are really 4 in dicks renamed to 8 in dicks.
No, that's what the automation team has done to our QA Organization.
Meanwhile, Metricsuptheassology is what the management team has done to that same organization.
It's nice.

Infomercials are the best showcase of the truly innovative inventions of our modern time. Where else can you learn about the roto-till, the latest hair-removal cream, the newest ab-exerciser and the best and last set of knives you'll ever have to buy, ever! (until next year)
my cousin's nokia does all that too. It has video, blue tooth, camera, games.
He has a doom port on there, a gameboy emulator and tons of rom files and he also has the ability to play tv shows and videos created off the phone. Bonus! It dials and calls people who have regular phones! neato.
I don't think he has pocket excel and word though, so you can't get your spreadsheet on. Or the other palm apps.
so it still sucks. but it's only 300 dollars.
anyone still reading this? Perhaps someone can answer what is the functional difference between a hardware rounter like the fancy dancy linksys 4 port router/switch/firewall and a linux firewall? My friends and I are split, some think there is a difference, some of us don't and neither side has any reason to beieve one way or the other.
If you don't like the way the NYT's runs their web site, you're more than welcome to start you own f_in newspaper and you can put it online and NOT require registration. If you can be good enough to get good articles written by good reporters to the point that slashdot would actually want to link to you, then we will all be able to rejoice at the fact that you don't reqire free registration. Really, this isn't a flame. There is no one stopping you from doing this - so please, do it so we won't have to hear another whining post about NYT's registration.
Or you could get hired on at the NYT and change thier registration policy.
btw, I assume your's was a legitimate question wrapped in a whine and someone already replied with a good answer addressing the question, hence I'm addressing the whine - which is not unique to you at all. So don't take this personal, any of the NYT-Reg-Whiners could start their own reg-free newspaper so we can quit hearing about the free-reg paper.
I learned basic, then messed around with perl-sorta, then VB6, then other scripting languages like vbs and cold fusion, then C, then C++. It wasn't until I took C that everything else I had learned finally started to make sense. Learning C improved by visual basic by a million times, because I now knew what it was doing behind the scenes. Learning VB first is a good way to get simple apps built, but a really bad way to gain any understanding of Computer Science. Truth is C isn't that hard to learn, and it makes VB a lot easier. Also, doing anything useful without some knowledge of data structures is difficult. All I learned in VB class was arrays. I took Data Structures and learned about trees and linked lists and queues and stacks and then with the knowledge of how to do all that in C, I went and figured out how to fake it in VB. Now I was able to do lots of good stuff in VB.
I suppose somoene will write back saying VB.Net is truly just as powerful as C++ in the new.Net framework. I haven't tried, but it sounds nice.
I've taken qbasic. It was my first programming class. We called it basic then, but it was the dos version, not the visualbasic. Anyway, we did all sorts of accounting type problems and some math problems and some word games based on simple logic. I figured this sort of stuff was its only use.
Come to find out quite a number of games are written in Qbasic. How do you do graphics in qbasic. Is there a secret library I don't know about and some secret include capability? How did these people learn this stuff - did they have secret classes at their schools in Advanced QBasic? Was it just the few MIT QBasic Programmers and a few CalTech.
There seems to be a huge gap between the Qbasic I was taught, and the full potential of Qbasic.
No kidding. And MS is one of/.'s (biggest?)advertisers. Ha.
On the other hand, at least they do a/back. How many "news" outlets never follow up in any meaningful way. Sunday night at 3am they list all their mistakes that week, in spanish no less. Or stuff it on page 4 in the bottom left corner. Or never do it at all.
even if it was improved upon. Can the idea of ranking based on links popularity be patented? Did google patent it? if not, how much longer before some asshole lawyer in melo park or amazon/ms/aol does and tries to shut down google.
I don't see why they need to be more secret than they can already be legally. Spammers are a pretty blazen bunch doing MASSIVE mailing. That shuold be easy to detect without special powers.
Bob #1: We're trying to get a feel for what people do around here.. so, could you just walk us through a typical day for you? Peter: Well, sure Bob. I generally come in at least 15 minutes late. I use the side door; that way Lumbergh can't see me, and after that I just sorta space out for about an hour-- Bob #2: Ah wait--space out? Peter: Yeah. I just stare at my desk. But it looks like I'm working. I do that for, uh.. probably another hour after lunch too. I'd say, in a given week, I probably only do about 15 minutes of real, actual.. work.
worked for me for about a year and a half. Then we got a new director who didn't suck ass, and she got new managers in place that didn't suck ass and now we're all happily doing more than 15 minutes of work. Though I still find time to search slashdot and post office space quotes. That can't be considered good. But fuck it, I'm salary.
Peter: We don't have a lot of time on this earth! We weren't meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day... filling out useless forms... and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements. Michael: I told those fudge packers that I liked Michael Bolton's music. Peter: Oh that is not right, Michael.
Peter: So I was sitting is my cubicle today, and I realized.. ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me.. that's on the worst day of my life. Therapist: What about today? Is today the worst day of your life? Peter: Yeah. Therapist: Wow, that's messed up.
compare this to selling air and restricting breathing instead of selling land. Ideas are unlimited and can originate in several minds all at the same time. This is very different than land. The ownership rights to land do not compare at all the the ip rights we've invented.
Is this where I get to blame King George, seeing as how the FCC is ruled by a Republican Majority. Republicans are for smaller government, yeah riiiggghht.
Pubs steal from everyone and give to the corporations (which we've pointed out is where most of this will go, corporate welfare for the incumbant telcos in rural areas). Dems steal from everyone and give to the poor. These are only the extremes, and the real reality lies somewhere in between for both parties. So, if you are a corporation or own a large company, being a pub is good. If you are a real person, being a dem is good. (even if I'm not poor?) yeah, because poor people who get benefits are less likely to screw you, the middle class working guy, where as companies who get benefits are MORE likely to screw you, meanwhile, the poor getting even poorer are also more likely to screw you.
Just one way of looking at the economics of politics. Trust me, if I owned a large corrupt company, I could consider being a pub, but I don't. Poor and middle class republicans never cease to amaze me? "Why should I give money to support some poor kid's education?" umm, ok, but "Why should I give money so that halliburton can clean up Iraq and World fucking Com can supply them with 8,000 dollar cell phones?" At least if my money gives some poor kid an education, there's one less crack smoking fuckup in the city and one more educated enterprising American.
It seems like it should be punishable in some way by the decieved.
let's analyze some examples in other disciplines. NFL recruit says I can run the 40 in 3secs and it's really 5 seconds. NFL scouts recruit without checking first (like that woudl happen) in order to be first and are out XXX millions that could have been spent on the dude that actually runs it in 4secs.
You tell a nice lady you have 8 inches and stuff a sock to look bigger. She's stuffing her bra though, so it's ok. Plus, you shouldn't be paying for this, even if you call it an investment.
Lying on your resume...
Vaporware...
It's got an 8cyl in there (it's a 4 cyl).
Seems exaggerating for money is lying, which is defrauding, which should be (what's the word?, repre...means you should be able to get your money back, reparable???) .
Just as you said. I've taken some that were amazing. I actually learned more in the online class than others did in a similar (different instructor) real live class.
On the other hand, I took one that sucked balls. Just like you described. Waste of everyones time.
Of course, at that school real classes were the same sort of hit/miss. THe trick was to drop early enough to save your money.
Apparently some people who weren't wroking 80 hrs a week knew enough fellow classmates to know which profs were good and which blew.
true. Good point regarding gas tax. I guess I went off topic.
I was thinking more along the lines of vehicle registration. I had to pay 202+194 dollars today to register my vehicles with the state. Does it really cost that much to give me a license plate and link my VIN record with my DL record? Please. It's a loan to the state government that is refunded by the federal government when I file my tax return next year. It's an interest free loan. It's a crock of shit.
This is ridiculous. But let me give you a better idea. Charge vehicle tax based on vehicle weight. The more your car weighs, the more you pay. Holland does it this way, and that makes good sense to me. If you have a 5000 ton hummer you are wearing and tearing the roads more than joe bob in his 3cyl 50 pd geo metro.
Also, the more your car weighs, the more force it takes to make it move, therfore the more gas you use. makes perfect sense to me.
All of this was obtained from http://assessormap.lacountyassessor.com/mapp ing/vi ewer.asp. In this case I did this after entering the Long/Lat from the coastline site into Mapquest and then determining the search area would be near ZUMIREZ DR in Malibu Ca.
I could have just as easily been trolling through Malibu's Coastline on the LA County website or Mapquest/GlobeExplorer/Terraserver looking for obscenely large houses.
The only thing I wouldn't know if it wasn't for the guy's website is who owned the property. That (as he pointed out) is available publicly, but not online.

Contrast that with Matthew Keller, who owns 500 times as much land just down the road. His name is in the legal description as it's called the "Land of Matthew Keller". Why is his more public than hers? (it's a winery, that's why). Course mapquest shows houses on this land, so maybe he's sold off. Whatever.
The Point is that land ownership is ultimately public information. As long as we pay taxes on it, that is. Do away with property tax and we'll be able to make more of a case for privacy.
Many counties have a parcel search web site. You can search by parcel ID, lot/plat# whatever, address, or taxpayer name. If Ms.Streisland lived in my county, and her house was registered in her name, I could look it up, have a plat map, and with the click of a button switch to Orthagonal Photographs (which are better than satellite becuase the lines are straighter).
Search google for "parcel search".
In my state (and many others) you can also search for civil, criminal and traffic records on line. It's the same info you could always get, but now it's a click away rather than a drive downtown to the clerk's office.
Some info is public, she needs to just deal with it like the rest of us.
