I'm a reseller for InstantSSL. If you purchase credits on their system and act as a reseller (not just an affiliate), you get certificate requests coming to you. All you do is go online, approve the request, and it's issued. Customers have done this and apparently they don't go through any extra screening, even for a code signing cert.
When Linux IT jobs begin to out-number Windows IT jobs, it could even bring Information Technology as a viable career choice, one which is not filled with underqualified people that got in during the.com era and won't leave.
And for some reason, human nature will radically alter and the Linux IT world won't be filled with underqualified people hoping to make a buck too?
It's likely Flash which is doing the popup. Use Adblock to get rid of most of the advertising Flash files. Liquid Generation is a good test of whether or not your browser blocks Flash popups as it always seems to open up a new window.
Youve just gained the right as an individual to always have a perfect credit rating, as you can always get Experian etc to remove bad entries from your credit record.
In that case, you wouldn't have a perfect credit rating -- you'd have no credit history, which most institutions consider as bad as a poor credit history.
Copyright laws? If I could have watched and recorded a show MYSELF, what's the problem with getting it from someone else?
Well, you generally have to pay in order to get access to most of these shows. If you're already subscribing to the appropriate channels but just weren't able to watch it at the right time, I don't see any problem with getting a torrent of the show. However, for those who don't subscribe to any TV channels, why should they be able to enjoy the shows for nothing?
I'll say that I find Timothy's articles to be fairly balanced -- completely opposite, of course, to Michael's. Maybe the guy's having a shitty weekend and got a run of bad luck in posting a couple of dupes. Maybe (or likely) there's a group of trolls who enjoy nothing more than submitting the same stories over and over in the hopes of catching someone off guard.
At any rate, at least see if it becomes a recurring thing before organizing the lynch mob.
Maybe you're one who thinks copyright law should be abolished, but what the grandparent post was talking about is this: If you're going to violate copyright laws (put up a torrent for a show that you grabbed off of TV) then at the very least you could leave the commercials in.
It's not about helping a corporation. Given that ripping the show and putting it up for downloads is a violation of that corporation's copyright as it is, why not balance the bad with a bit of good? Or do you figure that if you're in violation of the law anyway, you might as well go all out and remove any possibility that at least some benefit could be derived from it?
Okay, it's late... I'm tired. When I went to Blockbuster's site, I saw they had their Netflix-clone deal which has no late fees. Anyway, you're correct... they also have regular rentals as well to which this "mostly no late fees" applies.

If I wanted a GUI interface, I would have looked for a MS based solution. Isn't that obvious?
So you browse the web with telnet? Or did you write this post using a GUI interface such as Firefox?

Anyone have a different experience?

Spam over IRC - Spirm.
Spimming is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for spimming. Like badwrong, or badong.
I think the word you're looking for is strongbad.
The whole thing is full of crap, the "RONCO INSIDE-THE-SHELL EGG SCRAMBLER" beat out the "COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE DICTAPHONE", too.
Yeah, no kidding. Let me know when the Ronco Turnip Twaddler makes the list... *then* I'll pay attention.
Clearly, the list is completely biased. Why is the PowerBook the only thing without any filler characters? They're obviously on the take from Apple.
But what if it's 2x2 chess with all knights?

Very cool, works like a charm... thanks!
