not sure of possibility 1, but possibility 2 isn't that attractive.
when I send business mail through my magazine's STMP, I don't want my recipients to have my ISP's email address, because I want to keep them on a business level. it'd be like giving out all your numbers to everyone you come in contact with.
you just don't want some people to call you at home or on your cell phone.
I have a friend that hasn't even owned a computer until recently that has been a regular online: sending emails, posting to forums, etc. thanks to public libraries. so yes, free email does exist.
I'm active duty US Army. The military doesn't really care what your views on the world are, so long as you soldier up and do your fucking job. I'm pretty liberal (compared to the "average" American)and had a libertarian roommate when I was in 3rd Ranger Battalion. I'm pretty much openly critical of the government and the mainstream media and I've yet to get treated any differently than any other soldier.
everyone knows that there will be other men in their company that they will disagree with. they also know that they can count on the same man to pull security for them and save their ass when the time comes.
India is the world's largest democracy, not the United States of America.
if by democracy, you mean republic, yes, you're absolutely right. but if you say democracy and mean democracy, then no.
I agree that the "news" many major Arab dailies dish out are appalling from the standpoint of verifying background facts, sifting through stories for ones to print and to ignore, and weighting editorial opinion.
But, those defects happening there do not by any means imply that U.S. news sources have necessarily reached the pinnacle of journalistic standards for factual, unbiased and independent reporting.
true enough, but that you refer to America as a democracy proves that they may not be particularly good at providing information, but they are quite good at putting a slant on it. the average person in the world has absolutely no idea what the word democracy truely means or why democracy is actually a bad idea.
there's a bit of a difference between 11 million dollars and 11 million pounds. even if he isn't up to doing the stunts, I hope they keep him in. he fit the role of spiderman almost perfectly.
Congratulations on your unsuccessful attempt at being analytical.
No, I played the game. I enjoyed Myth 1 better. And Syndicate Wars above Myth. Thus Myth 2 spent little time on my hard drive as I didn't think it was fun.
My comment was a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that I, like many others, didn't find the game to be fun or worth my money and time.
that's because porn flicks are nothing but scenes loosely grouped together. best scene is therefore a better award than best picture. a good porn movie can entertain every man (so long as the supply of kleenex holds out). a good porn scene can make women want go lesbian.
no. if the idea has been removed from existence, then de facto it has been forgotten. the converse is not true, however. an idea can be written down and then forgotten, only to be discovered at a later date.
all orbits have to have their own irregularities, I mean there's all kinds of gravitational fields that act on the the earth. not to say that the scientists are totally full of shit, but I'd say that it's a lot more likely that the rotation and orbit is changing the weather than weather changing the planet.
yes and no. on win 9X systems (to include ME), yes. however, on NT based systems, not everyone is administrator. for home users, nearly everyone runs as admin, though. for network use, none of my users get much in the way of permissions, and I don't know a lot of windows sys-admins that give their users permissions much higher than bare minimum.

well, actually, it pre-dates EQ by over a decade; it's the shareware business model that was so successful in more or less launching the gaming industry. granted there was more to the gaming industry's success than shareware, but it was certainly one of the key points that got it to the public.
some of the most widely acclaimed game companies got their start doing this. id and Epic Megagames (Doom, Quake and Unreal) are noteable examples. for instance, Doom was released as a complete game, for free. registering your copy for a price would give you more guns and more levels. even though people don't feel the need to release their games for free and then have people pay for extras, virtually every game now has a demo version that accompanies it as a result of shareware's impact.
it's a possible way to game the system, however they can also ignore what the packets are marked as and just boost the priority of the smaller packets, which are almost always system messages. if the bump up everything under 64 bytes, then they'd get the same effect, but without the possibility of someone cheating the system like that. though I'm pretty sure someone else has already done that.
and then you could blow $30,000 buying all the tickets until you find the right one. that's assuming, of course, that they keep track and publish which store has what ticket numbers, which would be very, very stupid of them.
well, from what I understand, the reasoning behind radar detectors being legal is that the air waves are public domain. granted, you've got to go through the FCC for a broadcasting liscense, but the air waves themselves are perfectly legal for the public to monitor. whether they're listening to the radio, watching TV, trying to find alien transmissions or locating speed traps, is all up to the person operating the reciever and legal virtually everywhere in the US.
technically a radar detector is just a reciever for electronic and optical signals. which is legal. it's just been bent to an "evil" purpose. it seems like a pretty grey area of the law to me.
a virus can and will infect you by using security holes in the preview plane. the viruses use Outlook only exploits. there's a number of them out there and a simple search on norton's site or google will turn them up.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Operating System MicroBSD was found dead in its Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss it - even if you didn't enjoy its work, there's no denying its contributions to tech culture. Truly an American icon.
Further reading: We've mentioned the Honeynet Project a few times before -- here's one story from July 2001 and other from July 2002; a search on "honeynet" will yield several more.
it really doesn't take that long to run some queries on their database or lock out a bunch of accounts. they don't have to collect any information to do it, all they have to do is hear that they have some compromised numbers and get to work.
your bullshit detector should have gone off when it took 3 months to resolve your dispute.

I think the big question is, will they include fun with the 1.4 patch?

then we'll get to see Neo's flaming uppercut, right?

as a side note, don't I know you?
it'd look kind of like this:

exactly the grand-parent's post.

that was about the funniest troll I've ever seen. someone give him a -1 troll and then a +3 funny.
wanna bet your hard drive on that?

it does in soviet russia.

Now THAT'S how you post a dupe.

no, I think our good friend Alan Ralsky holds that title.
I just hope that he's still getting snail mail spam.
