And even in that case, denying him a car wouldn't have changed anything. It isn't as if he couldn't take the bus to the airport.
just wait until they make bus drivers check intending passengers against the list when they want a ticket at the bus-stop... after all it is a financial transaction...
Most people try and keep their passwords and usernames to a small number so use the same password and username for several different sites... so a nasty trick could be to try using the password for flixter against the same username for a different account say google mail or myspace...
Grandpa here is fifty... and has been using computers since 1975, Linux since 1999. Grandpa here was programming in Fortran using punched card stacks when he was in Uni back in 1975. Some of us grandparents have far more experience that you. Some of us grandparents are still programming. I'm a systems analyst... I write the req specs for the codemonkeys to code up...
My father is 76, he was programming back in 1965 on the BMEWS systems
Just because some of you have ignoramusses for parents and grandparents does not mean all parents and grandparents are clueless when it comes to IT...
Are they automatically pirates if they carry on using it... because technically they will be... Will the Office GA check their student status periodically to determine if they're still eligible... because it should...
Yet another example of Microsoft pushing things on students to get them hooked...
There's an awful lot of student packages out there in the UK for instance that aren't technically legal anymore as the person or family is no longer eligible.
I'd love to see Microsoft get serious on checking continued eligibility for these packages... people would soon balk at getting proper editions when asked to pay the proper price. Perhaps OSS (such as Abiword or Openoffice.org) or other proprietary packages would then be more popular...
Ultimately we think we can help DOT understand how these products can help its enterprise organization.
it means that they'll have their salesmen round taking the high mucky-mucks out on all expenses paid trips to Vista seminars in exotic places... and if that doesn't work, they'll send out the boys with the key to the slush-fund chest to make sure Linux doesn't "win"... they'd pay the DOT to prevent that...
You seem to be forgetting national dental care, the horrible rise of drug abuse, particularly among the working class and the minorities, the removal of troops from Northern Ireland, the parking situation in Benchley, and preventing Liam Gallagher from leaving Oasis.
Which is precisely why I've put a sheet of copper mesh in my passport at the page where the little RFID beastie lives... bastards... never ever consider the possibility that the thing could be read in transit... I did consider accidentally on purpose squishing the little black blob with a pair of pliers so it would break... but... that would only case me more hassle than it's worth...
apparently mine was "securely" delivered... but I got home to find it inside on the doormat... the postie had just slipped it through the letterbox. I have no idea what he did for the signature he was supposed to get... prolly forged it.
At least with Microsoft Products i can still sell my services, support, licensing, hardware and services. Google? I can sell a short contract to replace myself.
hmmm... sounds like one of those buggy whip makers when the horseless carriage was being introduced...
"Spring forward, Fall back"... you could just as easily say "Spring back, Fall forward" and get yourself totally confused. The mnemonic is plain daft... it should be something that is memorable and doesn't make sense the other way round...
[Neo sees a black cat walk by them, and then a similar black cat walk by them just like the first one] Neo: Whoa. Déjà vu. [Everyone freezes right in their tracks] Trinity: What did you just say? Neo: Nothing. Just had a little déjà vu. Trinity: What did you see? Cypher: What happened? Neo: A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it. Trinity: How much like it? Was it the same cat? Neo: It might have been. I'm not sure. Morpheus: Switch! Apoc! Neo: What is it? Trinity: A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.
because it puts councils in charge of inspecting and regulating premises that play live music. Live music being any performance by more than two persons. As the premises has to be licensed to perform the music, then it becomes subject to ridiculously pettyfogging interpretations and gold-plating of requirements. The venues which used to hold folk nights have not bothered to register their premises. As such, it then becomes illegal to perform live music there. The juke boxes and discos and karaoke nights have taken over. Our nanny state in action... they're knee-jerk response to anything is to require a license for it... and as a result, no one can be bothered with the hassle... In France and other more enlightened european countries, they'd have carried on performing and told the inspectors to bugger off, but in the UK, the inspectors can close the premises down
it will be if they have it mandated that it must be wrapped in DRM cruft with crap like broadcast flags set to prevent recording it and you can only receive it using player software that respects the broadcast flags running on tpm certified OS... Microsoft's wet dream, to get Linux made illegal
but if you lose the master password or it is deleted from the computer, and you lose your password, not even Steve (Jobs, not Ballmer) himself can get your data back.
you actually believe him??? How do you know that he hasn't been forced to incorporate a back door and isn't allowed to tell anyone about it. Do you have the source code for filevault and can compile it to produce the same binary?
I mean.. what is an IT career if it doesn't involve coding? I literally can't think of anything..
I'm a Systems Analyst... I don't code, I analyse the problems and write the requirements specs that the coders write the code for. The only code I do "write" is pseudocode to accompany state diagrams when describing the object that is to be coded.
is far less emotive than "evolution", but it also implies that un-natural selection (ie breeding by selection for particular traits) is man messing with things.
the Taxman has a search spider that they use to flag up people who should be investigated for failing to report income. It's called xenon and Slashdot reported on it back in January of this year... why on earth the IRS don't take advantage of it is beyond me, but I suspect the IRs love lording it about over US based corporations and want to make eBay do the donkey work for them...

In eight years of Linux use, I've never seen a kernel panic... I have however seen plenty of BSODs and spontaneous reboots on the windows boxes
not me... I had a bath this morning...
originals are Here and here...
just watch out for chairs though... ;)

from what I've seen, ECMA appears to have been one of them... Microsoft are having a little more trouble with ISO though...
