You still have a trusted list that will redirect straight to the inbox. This will be the same as I have mine set up now because only people on my list make it to the inbox and the rest is in the junk folder. This is actually a good thing for sites like geneology.com that harvests your family tree and sends email from relatives with the same name (lame). The simple fact is, something has to be done about spam and just because Microsoft has its name attached to it doesn't make it a bad thing. No spam == good.
It is deeper than that. Odds are that guy has the job that someone in the US or UK used to have and probably did for years without doing such a thing. Nobody is saying it doesn't happen in other countries. He didn't just do a couple of card numbers. He caused no telling how many millions in damages to the card companies in the other countries when they have to make good for this and reprint cards. That cost is handed down to the consumer in the long run whether it be in insurance cost or recoop cost of the card company. This "one person" just happens to be the only one that got caught and mentioned in this article. Overseas scams on identity and $$ theft are so common that you can see it in your spam almost daily.
The difference is, he did it overseas holding someone elses prior job and is out of jurisdiction. That is pure lowlife and I defend my right to say he is a scumbag.
Thank you. All I could think of reading all these comments was how biased it was (yet ppl claim to not like biased news on here). Firefox needs to be able to render this stuff. If they could, people would flock to it the first time they got an IE exploit. I have firefox but it doesn't work with my bank website. I don't blame the bank or Microsoft, I blame Firefox for being the only dung heap on my system that can't render it. Opera, Netscape, IE...they all work. I'm sure even the POS AOL browser works with it but I don't have it to try it.
I used to know someone who drove a private cab. He had a route he followed that included a quick drive through to the airport every time he passed it. Maybe you got one of those;) Airport, dropoff, donut shop, airport, dropoff, lunch, airport, dropoff, hey look a girl!
Yeah, thats what Liberal Bias is...telling people there are two sides to the story. Conservative bias is saying this is the official party line and if you think anything differently, you must not be a patriot.
It's funny because it looks exactly the opposite from the other side. Democrats seem to just 'oppose' whatever Republicans say rather than sticking to their own agenda. Look at the last election for example. I still have no clue what Kerry stood for besides not being Bush. Name some Democrats that would think the same way if you agree with the Bush policies? They definitely wouldn't say "well thats the other side of the story but you are still patriotic for saying so". The Christian remark is offensive. Nobody makes statements like that except the liberals.
As for your last paragraph, you didn't watch much of the last election did you? Falsified papers about Bush, focusing on one single fact (WMDs) when there was obviously MUCH more to it. Just yesterday they replayed the speech of the final ultimatum to Saddam and it did NOT focus on WMDs. It stated that his days of tyranny and murder were over and they had 48 hours to leave Iraq. As any liberal about that 2nd side of the story and they'll be certain to dispute it was ever said and just spout out something about oil or WMDs. Liberals also conveniently forget that the entire world was behind a resolution to his regime and they all thought there were WMDs. I find it hilarious that the entire liberal population suddenly struck that from their minds and used hindsight as 20/20.
So anyway...yeah...it looks like politics in general are like that but the finger solidly points at the right as being the only ones who do it. Just look at comments about Bush, Blair, Fox, etc if you don't believe me.
Well considering it was a known launch of a scientific vehicle I'm sure we didn't have to waste tax payer $$ to track the thing with satellites. 2nd of all, if the thing opens up to about 30 meters (I seem to recall that being the size of the sails), it is probably very small while still packed. Once stage 1 failed I'm sure nobody thought it would be making it to orbit so any tracking would be on the rocket itself I would think. But thats just me talking.
You were probably joking but you should look into what happened to the funding for things like NORAD. It is actually quite interesting to see posted line by line spending = half of the budget during some years yet nobody questions it. MIB $$?;)
A bottom-up line-item aggregation in the Meteorology program area successfully reproduces with negligible divergence the DoD estimates from 1980 through 1986, and from 1991 through 1994. However, there is a gross discrepancy from 1987 through 1990, during which the DoD estimate is nearly twice the total that can be derived through line-item aggregation. There is no apparent explanation for this, as a close examination of budget documents reveals no meteorology or oceanography related programs not included in the line-item estimates.
Many more interesting facts on that page and some others on a quick google search of '+NAFTA +funding'
considered their "fair share" of the market to be 100%.
Any company that doesn't think that way wouldn't get to where they are today. There is a nitch for easy-to-use GUI, compatible with almost everything, and abundant software availability. They did it, others either try to follow or mock their ways and end up with a single digit % of the market. If I saw a sales guy working for me who was only going for 25% of the market so the competition could have their share, I would fire him.
Without pre-existing technology to go from. Even Russia sells usage of their rockets to get satellites into space. I'm sure for the right price they could do this very quickly.
Gartner researchers say most people affiliated with corporate information technology departments will assume "business-facing" roles, focused not so much on gadgets and algorithms but corporate strategy, personnel and financial analysis.
I thought this happened years ago after the.com bubble burst. I've been working multiple role positions with lower pay since the end of the Clinton administration. That was what...6 years ago?
If They didn't think the people could cope with hearing about the devastation of the weapon , and did not think it appropriate to report the after effects, then the weapon should never have been used.
In a perfect world..yes. But when it dropped it on their city, rather than surrender they made propaganda claims that they were going to drop an equally devastating bomb on the US (knowing full well they did not have the capability yet...all pride). It took more than one drop on civilian targets to get them to surrender. Do you honestly think just telling them about it or dropping it in a desert and letting them watch would have been different? Do you think either the Japanese or the Germans would have done differently if they beat the Americans in the nuclear race? Germany was openly working on nuclear weapons and using gas on Jews like it was going out of style.
I honestly wish what you said was true but things just don't work that way.
None of us in those days heard a single outburst against the Americans on the part of the Japanese, nor was there any evidence of a vengeful spirit*. The Japanese suffered this terrible blow as part of the fortunes of war...something to be borne without complaint. During this war, I have noted relatively little hatred toward the Allies on the part of the people themselves, although the press has taken occasion to stir up such feelings.
I've always admired most traditional Japanese culture but this was on a whole new level. I really do admire this point of view given the circumstances. If this happened anywhere today there would be nothing even close to this form of thinking. Even someone who gases more of their own civilians than was claimed by the recent tsunami gets world sympathy these days when they are forcibly removed from power. People complain when one laser guided bomb out of thousands strays by about 10 feet and completely forget it wasn't that long ago when carpet bombing was the only way to make sure you hit a target. I just don't get the mentality of people these days.
That's like saying we should have waited until we could land an aircraft on top of Mt. Everest before we flew into space.
How is it saying they shouldn't advertise falsely that it would cover the entire planet when they don't even cover some areas in 2005 with regular cell service is like waiting for an aircraft carrier on Mt Everest? I think you misunderstand the whole point of my post and are too eager to flame.
apparently so. Maybe the moderators should realize that we get a little icon that pops up telling us it is there hours before the story even gets posted. Just imagine if we had a slashdot story for every *nix patch as well. We would be nothing but patchdot.org. I'm sick of these and the stories about how something is 1 yr older.
I second that. I use XP at work and it has to be rebooted at least once a week when it bogs down to the point of being unresponsive. My 2K box at home reboots about as seldom as my fedora box sitting next to it. It is stable and does the job. I really wish they would at least keep doing all of the updates for 2K. I actually paid for it but hate XP so much that I can't stand the thought of forking out hundreds of $'s for it. Stability was finally delivered and I really don't want to fix it if it ain't broke.
I can see it being 40. I work in support and usually have word, excel, IM client windows for open convos, 2 ticketing systems (internal/external), email client, 1-10 putty sessions, remote desktop, a couple of web browser pages (this can be tabbed but most don't), our software we develop is a couple of windows, occasionally winamp, windows explorer for transferring files constantly, and ftp to monitor incoming files from customers. I would say at a very minimum I have to have the ticketing systems, email, and putty up then fight the IM windows to keep it at that.
Before they start talking about making wireless available to the "entire world" they should think about getting cell phone service out where my parents live. Every time I hear talk like broadband is available everywhere it makes me think these have to be people who live very sheltered lives inside the city limits.
Seriously though. Even cell phone service maps are nothing but a bunch of disconnected circles like the chicken pox in between interstates and cities. I would love it if they could actually do this but they are FAR from covering the "entire world".
You should read the comment just above posted about a day ahead of yours. What are you smoking? The point was that you have to redo these types of installs with every new kernel. Thats the WHOLE POINT. It obviously went over your head.
OK so I worded it incorrectly. The point was you have to do that every time you upgrade ther kernel. It always asks if you want to download a kernel precompiled with it (yet it never finds one) during the install.
Hey may be referring to the fact that some drivers such as nVidia require you to compile the kernel to use them. Each time you upgrade the kernel you have to manually run all of these configurations again. If he isn't then thats what I thought of the first time I read it. I have 3 drivers that require me to reinstall every time I upgrade the kernel myself.
I'll second that. I'm planning on installing FC4 from scratch tonight. I have had zero problems with FC3 other than the pain of getting wireless to work with it. It is an awesome platform for running mythtv on my widescreen tho:) Uptime is limited only to my last power outage.

I'm not so sure I'd want my house in 3-D available thru google maps...

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
If you see the google truck coming make sure you moon them as they go by. It would make a nice "easter egg" for google maps
