right. I would have no problem with that. in that instance, information isn't hurting anyone. what's hurting [me, hypothetically] is what the jurors decide to do with that information, as well as the general jury selection and judicial processes.
And despite what they were really trying to say, Jupiter is only very occasionally the "brightest star" in the night sky; depending on your definition of "night," Venus absolutely dwarfs Jupiter a large percentage of the time--the rest of the time it's the second brightest star in the morning.
hey! by this guy's criteria, I'm a hardcore drug addict. I've never drank coffee. the stuff just smells nasty. : I'm open minded though, and I'll probably give it a try eventually, but it's really aesthetically unappealing to me at the moment.
it doesn't, but to people who're more informed and experienced it makes you sound somewhat closed-minded. it's not personal--I used to be almost exactly like you, and as it happens I also somewhat disliked when I was given nitrous at the dentist's office, back when I was anti-drug (for my own personal use, not anyone else's).
you don't really seem to understand "drugs;" you have a hard time even determining what is and isn't one, but that's because there is no clear boundary, and most of what you've been led to understand about the subject is skewed and colored. I just hope you'll be more open minded and tolerant; yes, you're a "libertarian" and apparently advocate personal responsibility, which is great, but that doesn't mean you don't come off as a bit self-righteous about your choice. I admit to doing that in the past myself. I'm not saying you are doing that, but your post really lends that kind of impression. whatever the case, though, I want to know why you choose not to attempt to "enhance" or "change" your "perceptions," when you don't even really know what that means or entails? you're prejudging, not postjudging. as carl sagan would say, prejudging is a terrible thing, but postjudice is in some circles even encouraged.
you should really look a bit more into the evidence. why, do you ask? to keep your integrity, that's why. you hold an opinion on an issue without being sufficiently educated on it. if you don't care about "recreational drugs" or have no desire to pursue them, that's fine, but that doesn't mean you should be making unreasoned statements about them.
fwiw, benadryl can absolutely remove social inhibitions, interfere with language, bend visual and aural perception. and it is REALLY great at causing hallucinations and short-term memory loss. dextromethorphan (in cough medicine) can do much of the same, but the "hallucinations" it provides likely aren't going to be realistic hallucinations as with diphenhydramine.
you mean 4Mbps to 26Mbps, not 4Gbps to 26Gbps. 26Mbps isn't very much bandwidth, as I guess you alluded to, but it also wouldn't require a substantial amount of hardware to handle server load.
I've always been dubious about these sorts of claims as well, but I think they know that. it seems like more of a probability statement ABOUT the probability rather than a probability itself. and whether that makes any logical sense, I can't say. tentatively, it seems to.
why not? it's just another website. maybe at some distant point in the past it was more "intellectual" in nature, but there's always going to be some generically-trending distribution of people frequenting and posting, especially with the popularity and "chic"-factor of technology in contemporary times. just because something is supposedly centered around intellectual pursuits is not a good reason to supposet that those involved in it are necessarily intellectual; many (I started to say most--but I am reading Brave New World at the moment) have a desire to feel themselves smart, and so tell themselves that they are (what is the difference as far as the individual is concerned himself?).
this is why it's dangerous to be conceited. you can never know the level of your own knowledge, unless, paradoxically and sarcastically, as I sometimes think to myself, you know you know.
you must be living in 1996. for the past 5 years, any time I've registered a gTLD (and this is probably true for many ccTLDs as well), it's been in the root servers mere minutes later.. at least with GoDaddy. I know VeriSign started doing root zone updates every five or ten minutes somewhere around 5-7 years ago.
If I'm using IE and something stops working, I have to switch to Firefox and try again to determine if I need to restart my cable modem.
uh.. why wouldn't you first try a ping of your local network & ISP, then try looking up a hostname with ping/dig/nslookup/host to determine what's going on? your solution seems pretty absurd. win+r cmd ping -t www.l.google.com...... done
I don't know if this has anything to do with what you're suggesting. if he had access to the AOL e-mail account, he could request a reset from GoDaddy, which is what I suspect happened. there's no "plaintext" stealing going on--that's not even necessary. how did he get access to the AOL account? well, it's an AOL account.. I'm sure the password wasn't that difficult to figure out, or it could be social engineering.
and I don't want to libel anyone or anything, because I have no idea, but I do know this guy, and he worked for AOL at one point, and he maintained AOL contacts long after leaving. he's been able to do malicious things with AOL accounts before; I've seen him do so.
as others have mentioned, it's portuguese in origing. he is from Portugal, though, not Brazil. and he's like 5'3" (yes, I totally know him!!!eleventy). aha. I hope he reads this.

isn't that the default port for netbus???????

why are you telling people what music you listen to in your Slashdot posts? could you at least put it in your signature so I won't see it?

I should add that it's not even necessary to make use of any kind of trick in this scenario being that he had access to the domain account @ godaddy.
