Considering the size of Utah's market, if I were a big ISP like AOL, I would simply terminate service for all Utah customers. You can bet that if a couple biggies did that, this'd get repealed damn fast.
Applesoft BASIC was a Microsoft product. Those of us old fogeys who ran Apple ][+s remember when Microsoft threatened to pull the liscence unless they were allowed to be involved with the Mac.
Some us with children wish these fuckhead busibodies would stop speaking in our names, because we are smart enough to know how to turn the radio off when Howard Stern comes on.
I have a funny feeling that they noticed that people downloading the series before it premiered in the US created a word of mouth that resulted in better ratings.
I find the easiest thing to do is just to intentionally go to a bunch of ad-cluttered sites and simply block the anything from a domain that you don't recognize (or obvious ones, like "adserver".)
The fact that Baltar got too tired from doing tests, so he stopped testing people was also sheer nonsense. Why didn't he just get *someone else* to do the hard labour of testing?
Google's value to the customer is its ability to get good information to that customer. Anything that improves the general quality of information on the internet improves Google's value to the customer.
Actually, Microsoft has stopped growing. Their stock price today is about what it was in mid 1998.
In most real respects, Microsoft has been treading water for a few years. They've not taken over any new markets and have been losing ground in some important ones. They've failed in most of their recent attempts to capture markets (Web servers, internet "portals", etc.)
Seems to me you'd have to spend on the order of $1500/yr in merchandise in order to make this worthwhile. And then, it'd only be worth it if you would have paid for two-day shipping otherwise.
After playing "Condition Zero" for a while (The single player Counterstrike that comes with Halflife 2), I've become convinced that its counterterrorist AI works more like this:
IF TerroristInView == 0
ThrowGrenade(target=random()) ELSE if PlayerHasSniperRifle()
StepInFrontofPlayer() IF BlockingDoorway
StandStill() ELSE if PlayerMessage == "KeepTogetherTeam"
RunAway() IF StandingNextToTickingBomb() && PlayerDistanceFromBomb > 1000
AskPlayerToDefuseBomb()
DieInExplosion() IF TerroristsPlayerMustKillToAdvance = TerroristsAlive
HuntDownAndKillTerrorists() ELSE
Camp()
As long as it maintains its "everyone moves all at once" thing, it's not for me. I play Civ games because I want to sit and think. If I wanted to worry about reaction speed, I'd play an RTS game.

No. Using the copy machine for personal purposes is almost certainly against company policy.
Then my work is done here!
It was? Gord I love adblock!
I did. I made a fair amount of money doing it, too.
It was a bit nervewracking as for a few months after I shorted it, it went up in price. But I held steady and about doubled my money.
It's the precedent that matters. AOL may offer this service already, but I doubt they really want to be held liable if it fails for some reason.

Damnit, why don't you bastards mirror this "yahoo.com" before linking to it!? Now these poor saps are going to get reamed by their ISP...

Money that is spent another tired Star Trek crapfest could be getting spent on a new show.
It's dead, Jim.

It's not going to end! It's the new economy, dude! (I can't wait until Salon.com goes public so I can buy a new house!)
adblock already stops this if you block the script that does the popunder.

Get firefox and "adblock", then block "http://*.fastclick.net".
Yeah! It's a sign that monkeys can pick up food with their arms and transfer it to their mouths! A stunning discovery!!!!
Uh....only apps running as administrator can do these things.

Uh...because he's batshit insane?

How would such a bookstore make a profit? Most bookstores order wholesale, not retail.

An "average user" likely looks for what he's heard of, and buys a set of Red Hat disks.
