They should just rename it "Camaro". No Mozilla confusion with Firefox/Thunderbird, and we all know it's really a Camaro anyway except for the front-end.;)
Yeah, I'd have to agree. I was a bit surprised and disappointed. While I'm not particularly against "fuckwad", I would like think that a Slashdot editor could do a bit better.
Yes, watch ads while it downloads and go back and watch ads every month thereafter *forever*. Otherwise, your license expires on the songs you've downloaded. This was discussed in TWiT #67 by Wil Harris of bit-tech.net.
While I'm sure this happens over and over again in the US, one fairly well-known episode occured in Rockdale County, Georgia which Frontline covered. Maybe the one you're thinking of.
CSIA funds a survey saying that 71% of voters are scared of the internet. Who sells products aimed at protecting them from the internet? Why, CSIA members, of course!
Folks, there's still hope. The Senate Intelligence Committee merely proposed their recommendations. These recommendations still have to be approved by Congress and the Senate.
I'm not sure how hard you want to make this, but if you just want to play random songs for a few hours, write a simple perl script to access your song database randomly, pick a song, play it. Before each song, check the time. If it's been an hour before the last station ID, play the station ID, and then the song. If you want to actually create a playlist of songs to play, put them in a text file. And rather than access your song database, read in the playlist file one line at a time. The process is the same. Check time, play station ID or song. Repeat.
"AOL does not read your private online communications when you use any of the communication tools offered as AIM Products. If, however, you use these tools to disclose information about yourself publicly (for example, in chat rooms or online message boards made available by AIM), other online users may obtain access to any information you provide.
Your AIM information, including the contents of your online communications, may be accessed and disclosed in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena), or in other circumstances in which AOL has a good faith belief that AIM or AOL are being used for unlawful purposes. AOL may also access or disclose your AIM information when necessary to protect the rights or property of AIM or AOL, or in special cases such as a threat to your safety or that of others."
Rather than buy a turnkey RAID solution, buy a cheap machine and a nice tape drive. Use the cheap machine as your media server (no RAID), and use the nice, big tape drive to make the necessary backups. As other people have mentioned, there are a lot of bad things that RAID doesn't protect against, but off-site backups do.
These folks have a PCI FM transmitter. It's been in production for a couple of years, going through various versions. From what I've read, they all worked very well. It used to have a Linux driver, although I can't check now as it is requiring registration.:( Anyways, just another option if you're looking for this type of thing.
NoCatAuth would be a good starting point. It'll at least provide you with a captive authentication system. In order to surf, they'd have to log in. Thus, you could control how and when they log in. Now the only thing you'd have to look into is limiting how long they stay authenticated. This may or may not already be in there.
Looks like there might just be a job opening up in California. *prepares resume*
Props to California for passing a law requiring them to notify those folks whose information was involved. Although, I'm sure UC Berekely would have made the ethical decision on it's own, I'm also sure *some* wouldn't.
"You forgot that in order to get print from your digital camera, you need a printer." Ahh...see there's another big difference. To this date, I have yet to actually print out a photo. They go up on my website, or into a digital picture frame. I don't *have* to print them out. However, with a regular film camera, you *have* to print them out in some form.
Storage cost is minimal and takes up little space. First of all, let's look at harddrive storage. 250 GB, 3.5" drive for $200 will store 125000 2MB pictures in the space of a VHS cassette. How many albums will it take to store 125000 negatives or slides? Even if we use CD's, 125000 pictures will fit on 625 600MB CDs, or about $180 worth (at the price above). I think even 625 CD's will not take up as much room as 125000 negatives in a organized album.
Digital is still a better deal. Even if you develope your own photos and negatives, you still have to deal with dangerous, smelly chemicals, *and* you have to have room for a darkroom. A friend of mine had to convert an extra bathroom into a darkroom to develope her photos. Meanwhile, I just plug my camera into my computer...
Film is definitely not without it's place, but for a beginner, digital is the sensible choice.

Mein Fraulein,
I am anxious to speak with you.
Thanks!
Your friend,

Please put more than one sentence per page.
Dear tomshardware.com,
While I'm sure this happens over and over again in the US, one fairly well-known episode occured in Rockdale County, Georgia which Frontline covered. Maybe the one you're thinking of.
For a real lawyer's opinion on this matter, go here.
Allowing the Patriot Act to lapse is one of the few truly patriotic things this Congress has done.
How did *your* Senator vote?
CSIA funds a survey saying that 71% of voters are scared of the internet. Who sells products aimed at protecting them from the internet? Why, CSIA members, of course!
Hmmm...coincidence?
Folks, there's still hope. The Senate Intelligence Committee merely proposed their recommendations. These recommendations still have to be approved by Congress and the Senate.
Email your respective representatives NOW!!!
Who are my Senators?
Who is my Congressman?
Also, contact http://www.radioparadise.com./ The owner/operator was spotlighted in Linux Journal a few years ago about his control system, 100% homebrew, FOSS product. He might have quite a few tips for you.

For the others who had no idea what the parent was talking about, see the following site:

Or a piece of tape over the sensor....

"25 CD @ 2$ per = $50"
Where are you getting gouged for CD's? $15 for 50 CD's at Wal-Mart.
