That is quite literally why I will never be a Comcast customer again. Even though they went door-to-door as the first fiber carrier in my neighborhood, and AT&T isn't here yet.
Maybe the open source community is getting a little too upset about all of this. Why aren't the Firefox 1 users chiming in? Products get updated, and the people who are focused on maintaining those products don't want to develop and support for multiple products. Technologies on the internet change, and building support for those new technologies into all of your older products is inefficient.
If getting a reminder that they are no longer using an up-to-date product is the end of the world.. grow up. I had figured the open source community would be chock full of computer security freaks, but arguing that you should be left alone to use your old, outdated product that no longer gets updated, without any notice that this might be a bad idea.. that's just stupid.
Pardon the talking out of my ass. A quick look at wikipedia gave me this:
Several of Bush's aides and supporters walked out during Colbert's speech, and one former aide commented that the President had "that look that he's ready to blow". Although President Bush shook Colbert's hand after his presentation, Colbert received an icy response from First Lady Laura Bush.
I believe there was other stuff about the media not picking up the story, etc, that I had read, but I'm not in the research mood, just the foggy memory and talking out of my ass mood. In fact, it's right there in the wiki article as well.
It is as if you had no idea that most of the high-ranking republican attendees walked out in the middle of Colbert, along with a pile of others. If anyone was in on the joke, it was a couple of people organizing the event, and it was not the president or his staff.
What makes it different is that there will always be stupid people on Earth, and spammers are allowed to try and dupe most of them with ease. They'll always pick a winner in there. Spam makes con artists too powerful.
God, I wish I could find a link at work..:)
The History Channel I believe did a thing on sex and sex devices throughout history. One segment included numerous patent filings with diagrams and whatnot for the plethora of violent devices designed to protect women from agressive men. Cheese-grater was really not that far off, and many of these were created and in use. There was a cheese-grater-like sheath I believe. Think metal condom with blades on the inside.. eek.
I don't know about you, but when I went to college, I had no job, was eating cafeteria food, and every day when I went to the cafeteria, I had to walk past a guy in the lobby at a desk. He offered free t-shirts, free candy, free toys, and all you had to do was sign up for a credit card. Doesn't matter if you already signed up, doesn't matter if you already have one, just fill this out and grab a free gift.
Needless to say, I wasn't the only person with *NO SOURCE OF INCOME* who was offered credit cards. In my humble opinion, if credit cards wish to offer HIGH RISK loans to people who have NO MEANS to pay these loans, they should be forced to eat the loss, not the 18 year olds with no job who were coaxed into signing up with free gifts and empty bellies. Why should everyone else be expected to support a business model that is built upon such high risk, instead of the companies taking the risk themselves?

In all seriousness though, I still am having difficulty removing that SecuROM garbage from my computer. From installing a Demo. Further, Slashdot doesn't spread bad information.. it posts links to things. You, yes you, have a comment right up on top of that link post decrying the 'rootkit'. You *are* verifying the articles. What more do you want?
the FISA court has announced that it will be stepping down at the end of the month, for personal reasons. It claims to have been mulling over this decision for months.
My wife is a librarian, and she got her undergrad in Information Systems (librarians are required to have a masters in Library Science, fyi). She is not the most knowledgeable computer user out there, but she is far more capable than the rest of her staff.
The divide is likely caused in part by the age rift.. librarians are paid very low wages for a required masters degree (admittedly, more in college than in the public domain), so the job is still typically held by financially comfortable older women, just like the stereotype.
If the salaries of libraries was adjusted to be more in line with the knowledge they are expected to have, and the degree they are required to earn, then the technology initiatives that libraries are pushing these days would likely be more effective, as more "digital natives" would be attracted to library positions.
Do you think there's really going to be anything new coming out of JFK investigations? Seriously? If being 100% certain about the people and plots involved in the assassination of a US president was not a huge priority, then it leads me to think that some aspects of our govenrment were involved in it, and we will never find out the whole truth. Not a conspiracy theorist, it just seems logical that given the gravity of it all, either we already know everything there is to know, or we never will.
On the contrary, I had not really heard of JBM coffee until my honeymoon in Jamaica last year. It was strong flavored, low acid, and awesome. Of course, the JBM that I bought locally was something I'd describe the way you did. In this case, I would have to say that freshness counts for everything, and this is probably the perfect example.
On a tangent, the eggs from my fathers farm are also clearly above and beyond store-bought eggs, even store-bought 'fresh free range' eggs that I get here in Texas. Sure, the eggs you get in the store have a use-by date on them.. but did you know you could keep fresh eggs sitting out on the counter (ie: not refrigerated) for a month before you need to even think about the 'fridge? Freshness really is a luxury that our modern society and global economy misses out on more often than not for the sake of convenience.
Ahh, good. I was hoping TFA was about MDI. I'd followed these guys a year or two back, and it seemed like they weren't making enough inroads to get the funding they need to finish this off. Not surprisingly, nobody had paid for a lisence anywhere in America yet either.. here's hoping something comes of this.

First thing I thought of reading this article. Sup, achewood fan.
Maybe instead of calling it science fiction we could just call it SyFy.

How about "Scathing Diatribe Highlights Growing Domestic Epidemic". Just saying.. it'd be hard hitting.

So if someone in America can feed themselves on $5 a day for doing the same thing, that would be an acceptable situation?
Exactly, and just like life, those that work end up paying for those that don't. =)

Wow, she looks terribly airbrushed in that link. Aside from that though, in general, I'm in love with that girl, and would gladly let her play doctor.
How many people do you know personally that actually say "I'm making an effort to no longer support the RIAA"?
I could swear that's what piracy was all about!

Damn, that's violent! I bet you play video games.
