You learn to live life without it, like the vast majority of people on this planet?
Amen to that. I just cancelled my DSL service at home because it cost too much. I use a computer all day at work, when I come home, I want to do something different, like read or watch movies.
Does anyone know how much information is required to be presented to the ISP? Could I just start calling up ISPs and tell them that my psychic advisor feels that this user or that user had unlawfully uploaded copies of my copyrighted work?
Its all just a question of models. A flat earth is a perfectly good scientific model when designing a building, because local terrain dwarfs any curvature of the earth.
A spherical earth is OK for calculating the shortest path between Seattle and Dallas, but a flat model would give the wrong answer.
But guess what, the Earth is not perfectly spherical either.
Any ideas how they intend to recapture the baloon? I would think that after it is detached from the rockey, it would want to shoot up to even higher altitudes.
It seems to me that if there were a way to verify an email address with an ISP as legitimate, you could at least use this to filter out spam from addresses that you couldn't reply to. Could be a bit of a problem as those that first switch over to verifying email addresses would be the first targets for spam.
This of course leaves yahoo mail, and other services where one can sign up for a valid email address online. But it seems that those services could implement some scheme whereby you can only send 50 pieces of email in the first two weeks of having your account. Does this sound workable?
Just put the data on a cdrom after some music tracks. Also bring a cd player to demonstrate that it is "just music".
On second thought, just put it on your laptop harddrive. Customs doesn't have time to go over everyone's data to see if there is something "bad" coming or going.
At some point, don't anonymous posts amount to little more than electronic graphiti? Should W be able to go after whoever is plastering those charicture (sp?) posters of him? Just because these posts are electronic does not make them any more tracable to the author than something written on a bathroom stall. Could this ever be more than an exercise in futility?
My theory is that the budget and/or costume technology for the original show were the primary factors in why the original klingons looked the way they did. How about the difference in the incidental music between the original series and the later ones?
My question is how is this really different from sudo? I have always thought that the root account (if only used by a very select few) was a good idea. Which security system do you trust more, the one with fewer more restrictive rules, or the one with more rules. It seems to me that as the number of rules increases, the possibility of someone being allowed to do something they shouldn't increases. See Dr. Strangelove.
No problem. If all you want to do is _run_ the software, or give copies to your friends, then you are OK. If you want to modify it, then you would most likely open the source code and at that point see the notices about the license.
I think ESR predicted this in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". He was talking about how software used to be a fixed price and then you got all the support for free, and how this is unsustainable from an economic standpoint. Now, I doubt that Misrosoft will be giving any free tech support with this, but they got half the picture right didn't they?
And no jar-jar. Although seeing the horrible things that get done to people in the Indiana Jones movies, maybe having a Jar-jar sacrifice would be a good idea.

And make it do C++ too.
Must have done an integer divide.

it went down with all hands :)
Posts like these make me think that the limit of 5 points for a post is too low.
More on-topic, has anyone heard anything about "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"?
The third movie will be called "Gettin' it on with Natalie Portman"

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but does anyone know why this story doesn't appear on the main page? I am not even sure how I stumbled across it.
Or they could grow some "recreational herbs" to help pass the time. Wow, this is some _good_ shit.

more pr0n than you can shake a stick at.

Yes, but who is going to want to use a 75 year-old copy of gdb?

That the windows filesystem now allows filenames that start with a period?
