Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, sell it a bit with, er . . . I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollocks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!
I've always had more success with dressing as a Vulcan. For the cognoscienti (ie, those that don't call security and have you removed from the building), having them believe you to be completely logical and unemotional engenders a certain trust that something like a Ferengi (I tried this once -- don't repeat my mistake) simply cannot.
We're talking razor blades, not meat. Unless the Mach 3 is significantly more (or less, depending upon your take) advanced than I'd believe it to be, I don't think setting it down elsewhere diminishes its qualities in any way.
I had ADD as a kid, while my sister has ADHD to this day. I took ritalin from as young as I can remember until I was 12 (I'm 29 now, so I was on ritalin before it was 'cool'), then cylert and tofranil until I was 16, then cylert alone until I was 19. Once I hit college, I just weaned myself off of cylert over the course of three weeks (on my own, without doctors' advice..).
Once I hit sixteen, I realized I needed to start taking steps to bring things under control myself, rather than depend upon medication for the rest of my life. I started consciously working to focus my mind, admittedly no small feet. These days, I think I overcompensated, as I have the ability to, when I need to, focus solely on one task, blocking out the need to eat, smoke, and even move, in some cases. Even though heart rate is controlled through the autonomic nervous system, with a bit of focus, I can slow my heart rate down to approx 45 bpm, even able to go down to 1 beat every 2 seconds in the extreme case.
Personally, I don't know that ADD/ADHD really exist. I think it's kind of like saying that people with fair skin have problems with the sun. No kidding. Some minds are more frenetic than others, just as some folks' skin is lighter than others'. People with fair skin can spend time in the sun with either sunblock (drugs) or gradually building up a base tan and letting the melanin do its thing (mental control and focus).
Learning how to harness and control the power of that frenetic mind has probably had the single most profound effect on my life of anything I've ever done. In my career as a developer, it's been invaluable for marathon coding stretches. It's also helped professionally in that there can be many thought patterns whirling around at any given time, allowing for efficient multi-tasking. I've consistently surprised my co-workers with my ability to be deep in thought working on something, while simultaneously being able to hear conversations and chime in with cogent commentary. In my personal life, it's been useful for being able to learn things, simultaneously taking in new concepts and referring to old ones to create a mental framework for how things "work" together.
Best advice is to learn how to harness it and use it to your advantage. You may need medication while you're in that process, but once you're done, they may not be necessary anymore.
Windows has VBScript and JScript. You can easily download the.NET SDK and dev in any of the.NET languages (sans gui ide).
That being said though, there are literally hundreds of languages out there that have open source implementations. If someone, even a newbie, can't figure out how to download and extract one of them, even before knowing anything about coding, is this really the sort of person we'd want to have in our stable as a future developer?
Quite honestly, these days, I see the problem being too many choices. Back in the day, you had basic, and perhaps logo, if you horked a copy from your school. I went balls out and learned 6502 assembler at age 12, but that's just me. Nowadays, those crazy kids have many, MANY choices about what to program in, and likely little to no guidance as to what to get STARTED in.
The problem comes in that Justin was almost certainly an officer of the company. More than just something to impress the 'rents and less-clued in individuals, it actually does carry a responsibility. You are, on behalf of the company, allowed to enter into legally binding agreements. When you enter into an agreement that is less than beneficial to the company, you are subject to sanctions by your employer, including termination and legal wrangling. Still though, once the genie's out of the proverbial bottle, let out by someone with the authority (by title, not authorization) to do so, it's too late to stuff it back in.
Realistically, I'm amazed that he lasted this long and with this much autonomy. Headstrong rebels have a way of being weeded out fairly quickly--Even moreso when the rogue person is from the management team of an acquired company.
Charming. What about the cost to transport it over the backbone, or get it to your ISP's servers, or for sendmail to process it, or your ISP to store it? By the time Eudora sees it, 95% of the cost of the spam (other than your time, which, from your ISP's perspective, is negligible) has already been incurred.

What if an innocent person who shares the same name is targetted.
Then we'd be doing as well as CAPPS? From a wired article:
The TSA sees that system as faulty. It concedes that passengers who have the same name as someone else on a no-fly list or who are listed incorrectly find it extremely difficult to get their names removed. Individuals flagged by the list can face intense police scrutiny before flying and even be barred from a flight.
I know it's bad form to followup your own post, but I meant no harm to our friends in the Slovak Republic, because the South Korean tld is of course.kr, not.sk.
This is funny, considering the crushing amount of spam that comes from misconfigured boxen in the.sk address space. As has been pointed out, the patch was available well before slammer hit. That they didn't apply it points more to poor administration than anything else.
They're lying about bombing the moon. They'll just put a couple of cameras in Syria, bomb them, and SAY it was the moon that we bombed. I thought everyone knew that the moon landing was fake.
I only wish I could screen shot this right now, as my ad on this page is about the moon landing hoax, and how I can buy the video...
You do, if you want to play any WMP protected content, such as the second session's WMF files on a copy-protected CD. Of course, if you really want to listen to Kenny G that badly, please, by all means, be my guest!
How about you post a link to the system on a location frequented by h4x0rz, say slashdot. Let them know what a horribly repressive system it is, along with the format of the userid and password, along with the weak security in place. The system gets 0wn3d, and you have no more problem!
Tell that to Beverly Davis. Her admirer, a processor for Metromail who was behind bars, wrote that he wanted "to be there to rub in your Neutrogena". This from processing the coupon forms where people swap their purchasing habits for coupons.

Seriously though, it's a razor, not a CPU. It's not like it would be terribly difficult to "reverse engineer" the thing.
And let me guess.. the homeless folks moved in and squatted in the run-down buildings anyway, just like the homeless in Cleveland.

I wonder if TiVo includes any data like "we know that such-and-such in this zip code makes between 40,000-80,000 a year and has 2.3 kids, etc."
That's where ACORN cluster data comes in handy...

Bah. My car gets forty rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I like it!
imposed similiar types of oppressive IP law in France and West Germany which basically shut down their film makers..
I don't know about you, but but if Jerry Lewis and Gérard Depardieu are the French taste in cinema, I don't think we missed out on too much.
Now, granted, they DID give us Jean-Jacques Annaud (The Bear, Seven Years in Tibet, Name of the Rose), but he seems to be the exception.

I doubt they were looking to censor his speech. I think it was more that they felt it was an inappropriate forum for said speech.
Leaving your front door wide open is a great idea, until someone you don't know walks through it.
Better to have a stranger come through your front door than violate your back door!
