Simplifying the tax code could result in hundreds of thousands of coke-bottle glasses-wearing bean-counters wandering around North America looking for work.
A good accountant will allways be able to find multiple rich people willing to pay good money to save/hide a lot more money.
I haven't written my own signature on a credit recpiept in a good 2 years at this point. I write all kinds of dumb stuff like "Bob Vila", "Gordon Shumway", "Fred Flintstone" or even random scribbles. Nobody ever checks. The back of my card says, "Ask for ID". and I'd say 1 in 20 people actually ask for it, and those people get a fat cash tip.
Yeah, one of my favorite sugar overloads... there I was lying on the floor eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes and milk as I'm typing on the keyboard. Then I got up to get something to drink. Woops! sweet sugary thick milk goes into the keyboard. They keys got all stuck and the milk/sugar mixture dried in there and destroyed any chances of that crappy membrane based keyboard working again.
I was at the "Icon Byte Bar and Grill" in the SOMA area of San Francisco. They had a few televisions with the covers removed and completely submerged in mineral oil filled fish tanks of different shapes and sizes.
I also think this was one of the very first internet cafes, as I had never seen one before and the web was crap.. I remember thinking as I browsed with NCSA Mosaic, "what's the point? I'll just use gopher, it does the same thing."
More likely... governments will agree to hook up 10,000 troops at a time to these and let them fight in "simulations". The losers get shocked to death and carted out in a clean efficient way. Thus saving time, money, environment and mess.
'Debitel' was fined $359000 for (deliberately!) sending a total 48000 spam messages( mail: 36000, sms: 12000) to Danish costumers of rival company 'Telmore'.
So what you're saying is... they wanted to debut thier new spring line of uniforms before the other company?
I heard a rumor of some guy out there hacking some version of Logic software onto his iPod and connecting it to a MOTU 828 firewire recording interface. Sounds dubious to me... but could we see something like this running Audacity?
A portable high quality recording setup this compact (maybe with the MOTU Traveller instead) would be awesome.
Sorry, the dollar will rise against the euro!?!?! When exactly? From where I'm looking, it looks like the current barmy US economic policy will see it sliding indefinately... say goodbye to buying oil with dollars.
There's a interesting story today about Warren Buffet seeing no way but down for the US dollar.
The Deutsche Bibliothek achieved an agreement with the German Federation of the Phonographic Industry and the German Booksellers and Publishers Association after it became obvious that copy protections would not only annoy teenage school boys, but also prohibit the library from fulling its legal mandate to collect, process and bibliographic index important German and German-language based works.
If only the rest of the world operated by such noble and romantic ideas.
Speaking of berries it was that hoarding of food in exchange for trade that got us into this monetary exchange sitation in the first place. Agriculture, it's a double edged sword.
Worse than that. What if a cop has been assaulted and his hands are covered in blood -- or the sensors are caked in blood and mud after a scuffle in a dirty alleyway?
Or even while the user is under extreme stress, would thier behavior change enough for the sensor to notice? I would imagine needing to fire a gun at a live target would put some users under significant stress.
A perpetual service based model that still requires you to pay for net access. It's a win/win for corporations. Adding to, instead of intergrating services is what they want. It avoids that annoying competition factor.
In compliance with the new American pushed IP laws, China has executed it's first batch of copyright infringers. The trials were short and to the point as the defendants could not afford proper IP lawyers. The RIAA and MPAA were quoted saying, "We are ecstatic that the new laws are working so effectively."
US officials had no official comment but say they are considering similar legislation admid inquiry from concerned citizens in both Hollywood and on Wall St.
I was at a Chemical Brothers concert and as I walked in a red ceiling mounted laser just happened to hit me right in the eye. It was an instant searing headache so painful I couldn't think while it hit me, all I could see out of that eye was a redish-white haze. Luckily it was moving around so it lasted just under a second, but it was very disorienting.
Chief Executive Officer of DataTreasury Corporation Steps Down; Nationwide Search for New Chief Executive Begins
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2004--DataTreasury Corporation announced today the resignation of President and CEO Keith DeLucia, effective immediately. DeLucia, who is leaving to pursue personal interests, departs after a number of notable achievements, and it is with regret that DataTreasury's board of directors accepts his resignation. DataTreasury founder Claudio Ballard will serve as Acting CEO pending a nationwide search for a new chief executive. A leading systems and computer architect with more than 25 years' worth of experience in his field, Ballard invented the patented technology that forms the basis of the "Global Repository Platform," the world's most functional and secure informational management system.
DataTreasury Corporation is a privately held company founded in 1998, and it was issued US Patent No. 5,910,988 and US Patent No. 6,032,137 in 1999 and 2000 for image capture, centralized processing and electronic storage of document and check information.
PTC lost a LOT of their political clout after WWE kicked their ass in court a couple years ago. Other targets should repond the same way.
After an extensive search of the PTC website I couldn't find this apology. It was missing from thier press release section of the website. I did however, find a copy elsewhere.
Just like the issue with MS getting source stolen. How many problems can/will arise from relying on "no one will ever see this" when everyone can see it?
While I think this is a vaild argument I don't think it's that critical of an issue. Mainly because proper coding is proper coding. Anyone who does rely on "no one will ever see this" should suffer the consequences of the market (the way it's supposed to react to bad products) when this happens. Of course we all know this doesn't allways happen.
It's a standards issue to me, I see the stolen source issue as a side affect of the real problem. Why is this and what can be done about it?

Check out Super Mario 3 : Mario Forever. It's a clone of the original Super Mario Bros. with a few enhancements. Pretty fun game.
I'd say the hacker mentioned in Clifford Stoll's book "The Cuckoo's Egg" would be a much better candidate for world's biggest military hacker.

Interesting? Re-reading that, it sounds pretty paranoid. I was going for funny.

TV2Me is legal, your method is highly questionable and most likely illegal.
Don't worry TV2Me will probably be declared illegal as soon as the networks find out you're watching blackout sports games in the wrong region.
There was a show on Discovery Channel a couple months ago where the host got to fire rockets and machine guns into target bunkers via remote control.
