Because by signing up and not becoming a profitable lead (ie: cancelling your aol account before it rolls over) you make the advertisers pay. Oh, and it's not a pyramid scheme because I don't profit from your leads. Check out this article for more details.
Your point is well taken. Though some of the members of the pro-life zealots have resorted to murder in the defense of a fetus (ironic yes) which is probably further than political zealots would go. Still you put things in a different light with that example.
First of all let me say that as a Democrat I'm ashamed that the people using this information for
intimidation purposes share my desire to change Presidents. This amounts to nothing more than bully tactics that I might expect from other Political Parties, but not from mine. Freedom of expression and political affiliation is what we are built on and hsould never be threatened.
Having said that I don't understand this on two fronts..
1. What possible benefit could the list could be to somebody? I mean it's not like these are potential swing votes. To me it would only give the Republicans political fodder for demonizing us democrats.
2. Why is simply posting it illegal? From the article...
The subpoena seeks subscriber information, and contacts and billing records for the Indy Media site. It says the information is needed to investigate possible violations of the federal criminal code barring efforts to intimidate, threaten or coerce voters.
Seems to me this goes along the lines of writing a phone book. Sure it's a select phone book with more detailed information (email, hotel, etc) but it's still public information (except possibly the hotel). To me it's the people who abuse the information that would intimidate, threaten or coerce voters.

I've never even been to east asia (though I'm spending December there) so that wasn't was resonated in me about the film. I loved the subtly of Sophia's directing. It was all about what wasn't said and they left it up to our intelect to figure it out. That kept the movie going for me. I also felt like she didn't dwell on any one scene too much. Just when the scene might get old she cut to a new one and let us figure out what was in between. She didn't hold your hand through the entire film and lay it out for you. To some this is boring, to me it is masterful.
Amen... One only has to look at Usual Suspects to see how succesful a quality low budget (6 million) film can really be on DVD. The format has allowed for sleeper hits like this one to truely thrive. Now with the advent and success of services like netflix the possiblities are truely being realized. The bottleneck was shifted from the movie theaters than can only show 1-10 movies, to the video rental stores that have between 100-500 movies, to the online rental services that currently have over 25,000 movies. I mean talk about an opportunity for independent film makers.
I know that a lot of us "old school" winamp users still use the classic winamp lite v2.81 [plug] I much lighter version of the software[/plug]. The article states that it affects:
Thank you!!! I had to read the article 3 times before I understood what the hell he was saying. An article that long should be required to have more than 2 periods. The second sentence is pretty freaking confusing as well.
To me this smacks of the "Activation" BS that some PC software makers are taking up these days. Personally it makes me want to get a cracked copy of the software just so I don't have to deal with the hassel that is their DRM. I mean their point is to make it so difficult to pirate software than it is no longer worth it and people simply purchase it. To me it seems all this crap is simply doing the reverse and entrenching piraters even more.
Don't even get me started on the black market that their price fixing has created. There are economic reasons for piracy and simple economic solutions that do not involve enforcement.
I'm not a nationalist or anything. But the rest of the world's economy would take a severe hit if they were cut of from America even in limited fashion like email.
Actually they have been using acupunture as a replacement for anesthesia with a high amount of success. They have seen remarkable recovery and success rates.
While I do understand why you would want a better installer, that isn't the central point of a [insert any piece of software here].
And now we come to the basic problem with the attitude behind Open Source development. If we ever want to get open source out of the geek world we need to be able to get this idea out of our heads. A simple installation is important. Someone should not need years of experience to install an OS smoothly. And any computer novice should be able to upgrade their software with the click of the mouse (maybe 2). I'm not saying we need to dumb it down, just put in a little bit more attention to ease of use/install/upgrade.
Here here. And their "handy" little update notification in the lower right corner has never worked for me. It is constantly telling me that I have to upgrade to version 0.9.1 (which I'm running). Even now it still says the same freaking thing.
Don't get me wrong, I love Mozilla and open source. But it's those little things that developers hate coding that get to me sometimes. Don't even get me started on a Linux install.
First, for these preview releases it is
strongly recommended that you uninstall any previous version of Firefox first [emphasis not added]. Installing over the top of an older version may cause unpredictable problems. If you install over the top of an older version and want to file bugs, please do a clean install into a fresh directory before doing so.
Last time I tried to install over an existing installation i seriously regretted it. Took me 3x as long to get everything worked out. So now I uninstall first.
I'm getting tired of the whole uninstall, delete, re-install, get plugins, import bookmars, set settings, get skins (optional) routine. I wish they would hurry up and fix the installer so that I could simply update the browser and save all my stuff.
Yes but E3 isn't meant for 17 year old gamers. Heck he wasn't even allowed because he is under 18. E3 is for members of the entertainment industry and the media.
Because software CDs/DVDs tend to get lost a lot my office makes backup copies of all the software we buy and sticks the originals in the a safe. Then if we lose the copy it's no big deal. It's called fair use. It's why Xerox is still in business. Just because I can use a photocopier to copy Intelectual Property doesn't mean I will. Get of your high horse.
Another problem with general anesthesias is that the entire body shuts down, including the immune system. So your body doesn't have a chance to start healing itself until you wake up. If the body could be staving off infection and mending cuts during the surgery the patient would have a much shorter recovery time with a higher success rate. I'm not sure if hibernation would help with this problem, but it would be interesting to see.
I'm talking out of my ass, but I would think that it's the publishers who are fixing prices, not the developers. I have nothing but love for developers. In fact when a buggy game is released pre-maturely I blame the publishers.

I've heard that one b device on a g network downgrades the entire thing to b which just seems silly to me. Any input?
I hate sites that don't conform to html standards.
I'm guilty of the first
