That's right, reuse the timeline! A new exciting series follows the exploits of SG2--visiting counless uninhabited worlds, filling out paperwork, cleaning up the base after SG1 messes it up. Great fun!
I override display:none in UserContent.css. I'm not good at CSS so my UserContent.css really fucks up alot of sites. Slashdot is one where I manually select No Style on every page.
From what I understand, the phone company also now allows you to have a "password" that they will ask you for over the phone.
A few years ago someone (nka "pretexter") called the telco and changed my phone number and made it unlisted. Since I still had dial tone and wasn't expecting calls I didn't notice until the service change confirmation arrived in the mail a week later.
Of all oodles of data the telco collects (e.g. ANI) all they could determine was which call taker entered the order, and he couldn't remember the details of that specific call. So they let me put a password on the account. They still ask me for it when I make changes, but I don't how far they'll go to enforce it.
The phone company isn't the villain here.
I disagree. Just that they aren't the only villian.
Now everyone within earshot knows your credit card number, bank account number, every detail needed to order your credit report, what medicine you needed for your herpes outbreak.
Just the first stage in realizing the retarded vision of everyone talking to their computer like they were people.
They slow down service by not acknowleging returned disks
I don't understand why people think this makes sense. Netflix can't know who returned a disc until they find out what disc it is. At this point they play fair by puting the disc back into circulation and updating their database. Or they can check each disc to see whether the customer needs to be throttled. Then the disc can "fall on the floor" where it has to be "picked up" later and rescanned, thus doubling the handling costs. So, in reality the disc goes back into circulation and receipt is recorded in the fell-on-floor database which the pick-up program uses later on to update the real database.
Seems like this level of willful intent to screw the customer would have sleazy class actions salivating. Might cost Netflix $2 million to pay them off.
None of these schemes are properly recursive. Even this might not be because I typed it by hand instead of typing in javascript to make your browser type it in:

What if eBay also had another auction type in addition to normal and Buy It Now ones: silent auctions. It tells you when it ends, the seller may optionally give a reccomended amount, and you get to put in your bid, without knowing what anyone else put down. Now you'd be more compelled to put your maximum bid down.
you could rent a carboard shack for $5/month, but nobody who can afford not to would.
All these people giving speaches to planning commissions or writing letters to the editor crying about "affordable housing" fail to understand what truely makes housing affordable.
It's just kind of arrogance, presumption of universal infinite bandwidth, that has finally consumed FC5 like so many other linux distros. FC4 could at least use its own distro CDs to resolve dependencies when adding RPMs post-install. FC5 can't do anything without contacting the mothership.
What the idiots have taken it upon themself to download is a guarded secret, but they have no problem with saturating a connection for hours on end, puking when the connection drops, or throwing away 10 hours of work and starting over.
This is the fncking USA! Damn elitist foreigners and their cheap DSL.
Bought a Snapper at WalMart about year before the meeting in TFA. Marked down $50 to $250. I'd walked down the road to a locally owned farm supply/authorized Snapper dealer where I saw the same mower for $100 more. YTF would I would I pay the highest price? Maybe the anti-walmart wackos would be placated if I remitted $100 to Mom&Pop FarmSupplier so they can live their lavish lifestyle I can't possibly hope to afford. Don't worry, Mom&Pop are going to get that money anyway because the seam on the fuel tank split and gas leaks out onto the motor.
Stihl sells through a dealer network like Snapper. Everyone pays MSRP. Three years after spending $360 on a Stihl trimmer and $220 for its attachment I now have a piece of scrap metal that an additional $230 will turn back into a running trimmer. Could've lived the rest of my days destroying one big box trimmer after another and come out ahead.
Like David Seagull a decade before: this is MY content and by God you are going to see it only the way I want.
Back then it was MintGreen background colour and 8-bit displays resulting in white-on-white text.
Today CSS must be the tyrant's wet dream. Hardcode everything. Try to wrest some control back by surgically overriding CSS and the browser punishes you by rendering block on top of block.
Around 20 March 2005 I read a news article on the web about someone losing a copyright case involving scripts for made-for-tv and theatrical movies. The judge ruled that rights to sue for copyright violation cannot be sold or transferred--only the copyright holder can sue. I thought I'd be hearing alot about this because on the surface it completely declaws the RIAA's threats since the RIAA is not the copyright holder. When nothing appeared I searched for the story again and never found it. Thus, I conclude it was all a very detailed hallicination.
Akin to "if you don't like it, you can take your business elsewhere" which eventually becomes a non-choice as there's nowhere you can take your business.
As legal people shouldn't corporations have the right to vote and run for elected office? After all, corporations are subject to the political process, they should be able to fully participate in it (essentially the same argument made in 1886).
Best part about fines (and lobbying costs too) is they're just expensed and passed back to the consumer.
Wouldn't it be great if state governments here in the US would do the same thing?
"Representatives from Oregon, South Dakota, and Mississippi met in Phnom Penh last month..."
The key is to split it into three sets instead of two sets at the start...
PayPal had this problem posted on their website a few years ago. I got as far as dividing into three groups. But 3 weighings was only possible when things went well.
If the first 4 vs. 4 weighing is balanced then the errant marble is in the unweighed 4 and which one can be determined in 2 more weighings. But if the first weighing is unblanced then finding which of the 8 was errant took more than 3 weighings.

I post this from my recumbant exercise bike with my NCD X Terminal. See here (it's the login screen background): http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~mball/images/BikeAnd Terminal.jpg
Best part was that it made use of things I already had. Extra purchases were limited to trivial items.

put an NRA sticker on your car
