It was 5AM when I got the craving. The restaurant opens at 7, so calling wouldn't have done me any good. I wanted to be there just when it opened to beat the crowd. This restaurant usually has a line stretching around the block by 8:30 or so.
I had nearly the same thing happen to me yesterday as the customer in that story. For some reason, I woke up with a craving for a surf & turf omelette (grilled shrimp + steak strips). So I looked up the web site of this place in Tybee Island, GA where I used to have those.
The web site still lists Surf & Turf omelettes on the menu. So I drove all the way there (2 hour drive. Believe me, those omelettes are worth it. They also make the best damned cup of coffee in North America) just to find that shrimp are out of season and so they didn't have any to make a surf & turf.
Maybe I should email them a link to this story and a link to their own menu. That was pretty annoying.
"Georgia is still one of the states that uses your SSN as your driver's license number unless you specifically ask them not to"
It's been so long that I can't remember if they just did it or if they asked me which I would prefer, but at the Savannah GSP post they changed my DL number to something else. I did not specifically request it because I didn't realize it was an option.
It's still several million people. 25 million for firefox + Opera, Mozilla, Konqueror and whatever else. I'd call that pretty huge no matter what the percentage of the whole market that is.
Sorry, but that's Yahoo's fault, not the pop-up blocker's. A web site with so many developers should know better than to make a required event depend on something the user can turn off. That goes 1000x when the required event depends on a pop-up since so many people are going to filter those out.
I have two nearby Movie Galleries. When a new movie is released to video in rated and unrated versions, they always buy the rated version and rarely buy the rated version. And each are clearly marked if they do buy both versions.
Well, usually. I once rented both Bad Santa and Badder Santa thinking one was a sequel to the other. Oops.
I think the key phrase there is "without the Consent of the Congress".
I see several people pointing to an old federal law that allows states to collect taxes on purchases made elsewhere if it involved tobacco and/or alcohol. It is in no way just, demanding payment for items purchased in an entirely different location, but there it is on paper.
Then in that case, buy a giftcard at some store that A) sells cigarettes online, B) accepts that giftcard as payment online and C) doesn't give a shit about your SSN.
That's what I was thinking. Which law are they invoking that gives them the right to search all vehicles coming from a legal place of business?
It seems to me that if the driver tells the cop "no", that's the end of it, unless he can actually see something in the car that gives him probable cause to search it.
You really don't even need to do that much. Outlook and Outlook Express both keep all of their settings in the registry. All a virus needs to do is to parse the contents of a certain registry key.
I don't know if the login/password is stored there as well, but the server information sure is.
That trash folder is holding the contents of ONE DAY'S worth of spam, viruses and viruses bounced at me by bonehead email filters. Overall, I'd say this was a light day.
For those who may not recognize the fallacy in your comparison, I'll point it out.
The difference is that there is plenty of "evidence" already for Kazaa not being "clean". If they want to claim they are "clean", they should have to prove it because there already is proof that they are not. In your Ashcroft example, the "secret agents" are just on a phishing trip with no evidence.
"On the other hand, the order of battle for the officers goes lieutenant, captain, colonel, commander, which is not similar to any existing military force structure. It's a direct lift from the old show's character names: Commander Adama, Colonel Tigh, Captain Apollo, Lieutenant Starbuck."
I think what they are doing is mixing Colonial Navy and Colonial Marines together without doing much to differentiate them.
Of course that wouldn't explain why an old war hero and the commanding officer of a strike fighter carrier would only be a commander. That should be at least a Captain's billet.
I am being sued by Brian Haberstroh aka Atriks Inc aka Distributed Mail Corporation.
Since at least April 2003 I have been receiving unsolicited bulk email (spam) from this group.
As all spam experts will recommend, I complained to the ISP(s) supporting these spammers.
As spamming is against the Terms of Service of almost every ISP, the spammers found themselves
losing their accounts. They apparently are angry that spamming has become difficult for them and blame me.
I believe this is a frivilous lawsuit designed to harass and intimidate.
If I can be sued simply for complaining about spammers, then anyone can be.
Hence I intend to fight this frivilous suit. But unfortunately our legal system costs money.

That pisses me off to no end. I rented one disc that played 10 minutes of previews for movies that looked absolutely boring, wouldn't let me fast forward, reverse, pause, skip or use menu. I've gotten so fed up with it that when a rental disc does this, I take it right back to the store and exchange it for the VHS version. MovieGallery has no problem with people returning movies like that.
What is truly bizarre is that often you can see those same trailers by accessing them through the menu. Then all the controls work fine. I don't understand that at all. So if a disc starts playing previews and locks out controls, I see if I can skip to the menu and then go watch them that way. I actually do want to watch the trailers usually, I just won't be forced to do so. That's especially true if it's a disc I own instead of just a rental.
I've also made it a habit to first rent dvds that I'm thinking of buying. If they lock out any controls, I don't buy it. I've considered writing letters to the studio to explain how they cost themselves a sale but I never get around to it.
I wonder if it is a coincidence the six of the first eight google results for a search for Geico comes up with links to information about Geico's lawsuits?
Some people have been viewing that exact article as hindering private space travel development. Some people have suggested building enormous floating platforms in international waters and launching spacecraft from there to circumvent government interference.
Look up the Millenium (sp?) Project for one such group.
I couldn't find the exact height during a short google, but according to American law, the US government owns everything between (either 1,000 or 2,000) feet to just below low Earth orbit.
That allows for skyscrapers to be built, allows for government control of aircraft above those skyscrapers and gives us the "legal" ability to orbit spy satellites over other nations without "officially" breaching their airspace.
That last one pretty much was settled between the USA and USSR when we started orbiting satellites over one another.
I don't know how far up an individual's property rights go, but I believe it is right below the lower limit of what the government claims for itself.

Ugh. typo. I meant they buy the UNRATED version usually and usually not the rated version.

Does this answer your question?

Here is that evidence I mentioned
"On the other hand, the order of battle for the officers goes lieutenant, captain, colonel, commander, which is not similar to any existing military force structure. It's a direct lift from the old show's character names: Commander Adama, Colonel Tigh, Captain Apollo, Lieutenant Starbuck."
I think what they are doing is mixing Colonial Navy and Colonial Marines together without doing much to differentiate them.
Petty Officer (navy) / Private or Corporal (marine)
Chief Petty Officer (navy) / Seargent (marine)
Ensign (navy) / 2nd Lt (marine)
Lt (jg) (navy) / 1st Lt (marine)
Lt (navy) / captain (marine)
Lt Commander (navy) / Major (marine)
Commander (navy) / Lt Colonel (marine)
Captain (navy) / Colonel (marine)
Admiral (navy) / General (marine)
Of course that wouldn't explain why an old war hero and the commanding officer of a strike fighter carrier would only be a commander. That should be at least a Captain's billet.

No, it gives you the same little info bar up top that Firefox does when you try to install an extension from a non-whitelisted site. Then it pops up the following dialog.
That's been fixed for several versions. If the site is not whitelisted, the installation is canceled without a prompt.
I wonder if it is a coincidence the six of the first eight google results for a search for Geico comes up with links to information about Geico's lawsuits?
Good point. I was looking at it from standpoint of how high your rights *could* extend, not how far they actually are.
Some people have been viewing that exact article as hindering private space travel development. Some people have suggested building enormous floating platforms in international waters and launching spacecraft from there to circumvent government interference.
Look up the Millenium (sp?) Project for one such group.

Very nice. I wasn't aware of that. Glad to see it.
