Funny, I've always imagined Jupiter as being the big bad grandmother planet that is always scolding all her children moons. If you ask me, Uranus has always been the Solar System's troublemaker (those damn Klingons;-)).
How close does an natural astronomical body have to orbit a planet for it to be a moon?
I know there has been much debate about what a planet is (the Pluto debate, etc), but what exactly is a moon? Would it be possible for an object to travel into the Solar System, and then whip around Jupiter, and then reenter the Solar System, etc (without actually getting that close to the sun). If it did that, then would it be a Jupiter-moon?
I'll bet this attack was done by a student to get more information about which college freshman girls to harrass. When I went to college, the online phonebook did not include gender, or year by default, but you could get that information if you clicked a few checkboxes (but only one student info at a time). A friend of a friend of mine (at the time) wrote a simple script to harvest all of the data. He was never contacted for doing anything wrong.
I am a conservative Christian and have been reading and enjoying Salon for years. After reading a sampling of the rude, crude and abusive letters you included in your note to readers, I was both appalled and embarrassed at the idiocy some folks will stoop to simply because they disagree with a point of view or lifestyle.
Not a chance! I used to play Super Tetris on the Nintendo 64, and I would kick my boyfriend's ass! Well, not really, but I had all the top scores;-). And I'm not the only girl that plays either, you'd be surprised. I know a lot of girls that love Tetris, but don't like all the new first person shooter games.
They, no doubt, can't stop themselves from emulating the games even when they aren't playing them (so says the media;-)).
If nothing else, I'm sure they dream about the games. Those Tetris pieces still occasionally start falling inside of my closed eyelids, and I haven't played in over a year;-).
It turns out they typed in all the documents at the campus computer center, and then their computer crashed. As most newbies do, they didn't make any backups. The computer center helpdesk said they couldn't help, so says Rambus.
Given that the much-hyped 300th episode of the Simpsons had Tony Hawk (Pro Skater) as a guest star, I'd say that The Simpsons was aiming for the 12 and up crowd that night. It's also worth noting that The Simpsons is syndicated, and is shown throughout different parts of the nation between 3:00PM and 6:00PM (kids watch it when they get home from school).
"You cannot say it is not related to children when you use cartoon figures. It's obvious children will gamble with this product," Steinberg said. "There should be no cartoon figures in any form of gambling."
That sounds rather ridiculous. There have been many Simpson's episodes in which Homer, Marge, and even Bart have gambled. Not that that makes it right, but there is quite a precedent with cartoons gambling. There are much bigger things to worry about.
Thank you for advertising our 'Raging Cow' milk-based (now less phlegm inducing than 'Code Red Cow Drink') drink. My company and I applaud your efforts of joining the 21st century of blogging. Our Vice President recently remarked, and I quote, "Col. Klink (retired) has increased our sales three-fold! Send him a 12-pack of our finest non-phlegmy milk-based drink".
I concur, Col. Klink (retired). You can now look forwards to receiving a refreshingly cool phlegm-free drink in your mailbox (please allow 6-8 weeks for shipping).
It also requires the person to agree to have the check run and will e-mail them every time their ID is requested, offering a further safeguard against identity theft.
That is a step in the right direction, but does anyone see a problem with that solution? If my identity has been compromised, then maybe my e-mail is also compromised...
The article sure doesn't say much about how AOL plans to make money with AIM, but it did say this:
Significantly, this enterprise package will include features that the free consumer version of IM lacks: ensuring that messages are transmitted over secure networks, with the capability to save messages for future reference, for example.
There is one big problem, though: it's UGLY.
I mean really really really really really really UGLY.
It seems that whenever any code author releases something to the public, they always say this. Maybe they should just add this standard text to the GNU license;-)
That was an excellent interview! Here's a nitpick:
But you're correct, better tools at that level might help if ISPs were inclined to use them. Many ISPs do use tools such as you describe, others obviously don't care.
I would guess that the majority of these ISP's do care. The problem is that spamming issues are such a low priority for them when they are just trying to keep their heads above water (financially speaking).
Another issue is that the ISP's will almost always be perceived as not caring, because there is no way they can possibly respond to every single person that claims to be spammed from such and such ISP.
The CD contains some of the same plus full licensed software, an updated repository
*giggle* He said repository. That is such an unfortunate word. I once created a repository, and every time I mentioned using it, someone would inevitably make a wise-crack. I later changed the name to just 'vault'.
One of my previous companies had been hacked several times. Each of those times, we discovered the remnants of a script kiddie "root kit", and an irc server. At the time, what I did was search the net for the root kit (which was quite easy to find) and learned as much about the kit as I could. Once I did that, it was much easier to shield against further attacks. It was also fun to "bug" the irc server and watch what the idiots were doing;-).

That conservative Christian must enjoy articles like this important article about a snow penis

Some people say they illegally destroyed the documents, and Rambus said they legally destroyed the documents. Other than that, the article is useless.
Sure! Then people can just throw their trash out the window! HAHAHAH! Sorry ;-)

AWESOME!!! Now I can finally play games on my PS2!!!

If you have to "opt-in" to your spam, then how is that unsolicited?

That was on the second page of the article.

I recommend forcing them to use all of their penis enlargement devices.

I agree, Cinepaint is the best. FrIMP ? ;-)
