Whenever there is a lightning storm get some employees (aim for the expendable ones), to run around the outside of the building while carrying metal baseball bats, lengths of pipe, or wearing tinfoil body suits. I save thousands with this method and also avoind paying out those pesky unemployment benefits!
In order to go into marketing, one cannot be truly human.
Oh come on, this statement is RIDICULOUS. Say I develop a product, entirely new and innovative, I guess I shouldn't market it to sell it. Give me a break. Don't get me wrong, sometimes (ok, often) marketing is taken to an obscene level, but marketing in and of itself is NOT bad.
When you state that "coal plants release more radition and heavy metals into the environment than nuclear plants", do you mean as a whole, or per output unit. Surely there are MANY more coal fired plants than nuclear plants thus it might be easier to surpass the gross output. What we REALLY should be concerned with is Units of heavy metals per KWH (kilo watt hr) produced.
I was thinking that I could simply start to sniff passwords (18,000 students and quite a few use wireless) and then place them on my webpage at school. I wouldn't be so concerned
If this page really allow you to view all of the above info (SSN, etc.) AND you are upset it would violate your privacy, why are you willing to post a bunch of other peoples passwords online?? Wouldn't taht violate THEIR privacy. I mean if someone found a problem with my banks online checking that would let people exploit and get into my account, I would not appreciate someone posting my account number an pin online. In fact I would sue the poster of htat information if I could. Be careful where you tread.
Who is going to draw the line of where these jamming devices can, and can't be used. What if the next step is to have devices that broadcast a "free" advertisment on your cell phone inside stores. It seems to me that someone else using what I own is stealing. In this case they are stopping me from using a product I own. Same thing, theft by denial of use.
I wouldn't exactly call jamming theft. Denial of use, yes, but theft no, unless say Verizon sells you your phone and then blocks your use. If it is a third party blocking your signal, they are denying you use, but in no way did they take payment for service and then not provide it to you (theft).
Other than that I pretty much argee with your post...
Actually, I know you were joking, but how about passing a law that all UCE would HAVE to come from a.spam domain. Nice and easy to block that way. Toss that into the CANSPAM law.
"So, what's really the difference between a Unix variant like Linux and any Windows OS?"
Simple, for me it's games. It is the only thing that has kept me from migrating to linux. If I can't sit down and *enjoy* my PC because of the OS, I don't want that OS. Get real serious games on linux, and I am there.
No, laws are dictated by the contry you are in. When in Rome do as the Romans.
An extreme example, say you go to Africa and decide to buy a slave, it may be perfectly legal in some part of Africa, but you cant bring the slave home and keep it here in the US.
Actually it seems pretty obvious, even this vague article mentions the software is only for an Apple based computer as of yet. I can't think of any accesspoints that you can readily install software into (besides firmware updates).
They make sound deadening material (for audiophiles for stereos). You could put this around your G5 to quite it down quite a bit. You know, line the inside "walls" of your desk where the G5 is..
He never enjoyed an upgraded status. I consider anyone who badmouths his mother, and calls them all type of vile terms trash, white or otherwise. He just happens to live in a golden garbage can.
I got this in my email box today at work. I have removed the domain, for obvious reasons..

We are working hard to manage the situation. The problem is linked to a tremendous increase in SPAM e-mail being sent to addresses within XYZ.com. We are now processing up to 11,000,000 messages per day, compared to 2,000,000 messages per day three months ago. Of that volume, 92%-98% is SPAM.
But isn't a lot of spam generated by "lead companies".. For example, in those mortgage spams you get, the spamming company gets paid for leads to possible mortgages, not for the actual spam itself. They "lead" company is simply using spam as a method to solicit leads. Is the same applied to AV software? Sell the AV company a lead, get X% of the profit?
So why do most here still think it's OK to steal music and movies?
I would say because big biz stuck it to the little guy first. Simple retaliation, they stuck it to us, we try to stick it to them to get some money back. Not saying I agree with it, but it is what it is.
Everyone is bringing up the question of how long the logs would be kept for. Remember back when the US govt. was (possibly still is) granting itself the power to check out what books you were reading at the library? Remember how the librarians decided to destroy the records because it was legal? How long until ISPs get the idea and follow suit? No records, no court. Remember, ISPs want to keep customers, one way is to have a strong privacy policy.

Correct, it signals being stuck at pre-pubsecent teenage girl status.

But what do you do when someone takes your entire web site and hosts it in a foreign country?
You post it on slashdot so we can overwhelm it with traffic and take it down immediately.

Your math is off chief, $13.86/100 = $.1386 or to round up, 14 cents... so you paid 16.86 for 100 of those $17 cds.

I hear Dr. Jack Kevorkian has a lot of one use equip for sale.
You know it's got to be powerful when compute power is measured in pounds...
Depends, 40 pounds is also a monetary unit. Maybe it's powered by a blender!

The highly prized chunks of gold may be the product of generations of soil microbes at work.
I bet by the time you factor in health insurance, wages, and a 401K plan growing gold is no longer a functioning business plan.

I wonder what good that will do, most ISPs use rotating DHCP based IP addresses.
