I would say that being able to reliably filter out spoofed mail is significant. Spoofed mail accounts for about 70% of my incoming spam/virus messages.
Basically receiving mail would fall into these three categories
Message is not signed, and no domain key exists... normal processing rules apply.
Message is not signed, and domain key exists. message is discarded . This means that the domain owners expect their mail to be signed and the message you received was not sent by them (i.e.: spoofed).
Message is signed (and it matches), and domain key exists... normal processing rules apply
This does not address spammers from signing their messages, and creating a domainkey for wherever they are sending from, but it limits them to sending it from their addresses. I think it would go along way to stop the Joe jobs, and the popular method of virus propagation.
By the very nature of being unused it is not taking up bandwidth between their data center(s) and their customers.
The only close case to an unused account taking up bandwidth would be when it is still receiving mail (say spam) when it is not being *used* by the customer. Unfortunately that account is still being used. Perhaps not useful, but used.
I used to agree. Tables were the only way to go for positioning. There is however one site which gave so many impressive examples of using ONLY css for positioning (even different positioning using the same html page) I was blown away. Perhaps you might find something new digging through the css that you didn't know before.... I sure did
On the site, check out the links on the right, they switch stylesheet but not the html page
I agree, and I just wanted to give a (real) practical example, as they are easier to understand.
You make a good point about me being the one inconvenienced by a thief's wrongdoing. As such I have clearly taken steps to lessen that inconvenience (in relation to my car). There are no valuables in the car (my laptop always stays with me), I have no stereo receiver in the car (my ipod works wonders when plugged into an amp in the trunk).
There are many similar things that you can do with a computer that don't deal with the risk, but deal with your inconvenience, which I would strongly push for. Simple things like having a backup of your data, keeping both a desktop and a laptop around, keeping the original copies of all your software in order.... These things will not stop a hacker from re-formatting your drive, but if that happens (or any other computer related problems) you will be less inconvenienced.
Hey... I'm the Mr dumb shit you spoke of. As I type, my car is sitting out in front of my townhouse (in a somewhat questionable neighborhood) with the windows down.
In doing so, am I doing anything illegal? NO. Stupid? thats arguable, as there are many good points on both sides.
If my car gets stolen, or if someone elses uses it while the windows are down; who bears the blame? I would say the theif does, not the owner.
And before you look up where I live... it's not worth stealing;-)

signal to noise RATIO
Increase the signal, increase the noise (although not as much). The problems may seem to 'disappear' in higher light, but this does not mean they are not there. Better quality components will still help in higher light situations
I'll skip the mod points to reply, as my situation is similar. t certainly adds more usability to a laptop (especially for programming classes, where they want you to work on some unix box).
I find that sometimes having the distraction can help me concentrate. I know that sounds odd, but sometimes a lecture can move along so slowly that it drives me crazy. So, having wireless access allows me to surf the web, or working on other homework stuff, allowing me to passively listen to the topic. This has worked very well this semester.
As a full time student who is also working 40+hrs a week, I find that When i work on my homework in class (ie: the homework which reviews the current lecture) I have a better long term retention level. This seems to be because in addition to just hearing, I am actively processing information and applying it to the homework problems.
Now if only UMUC would give all their students access to UMD's network (which is where my classes are) I would be really happy. As it is, I am borrowing network access from a UMD friend.
The problem with weights, is they have to be able to hold it in place under the maximum force of water. By making the pressure down relative to the force of water the installation / choice of locations is easier. As the force of water grows, the 'snail' is held tighter to the ground.
Whoa, predicting the future again? Funny you say that they are not affordable, as if that was not the second goal of renewable energy sources.
Further you definition of affordable is probably short sited, as others have pointed out. Would you rather pay an extra 1cent/kwh long term, or ignore problems that will come in the future which could cause a 50cent/kwh raise in prices?
"higher taxes"? Are you assuming the energy would be free, and taxes would pay for the production? This being different in the end from paying for the energy and having no change in taxes?
It is a good point that if there were regulations like that in the US, things might be very different. I think few would argue that we depend on oil for to many of our energy needs.
The annoying part which neither the summary or the article address, is that a country is sovereign and is not *required* to follow regulations setup by another group. It may choose to take part in a treaty, or follow similar guidelines as other countries, but *required* is another story. But alas, there is no supporting information on said regulations and/or their origin, so we must blindly accept everything that is said!
Seriously. Start saving you money now, and wait for Apple to release a tablet. Any tablet that Apple Releases will be sure to be top notch and meet your needs.
At one point in time I would have agreed. I do a lot with live sound [worship teams, bands, spoken messages, etc], and to that end, recording audio as well. I was really frustrated that the audio cards in PC's (even some of the after market ones) are really crap when it comes to recording. Just run some spectrometer software and you might be amazed. Even though the onboard cards do ok for reproducing sound, they do horrible for lower tones when recording.
This is a big reason why the last two computers I have purchased are Macs. The onboard audio on my powerbooks is crystal clear when recording (and I do a lot of it). The same goes for the other G4 I purchased. Granted a high end audio card in a pc might do the same, but this isn't rocket science; why is it not perfect out of the box? Audio has been around for quite a while.
You could make the argument that the extra money i spent on my Macs would have been better served in a high end audio card, but really: quality is worth the extra $$
I could just point you to the bible and say "go read" but, i think that would do little good. Rather i will give you a few specific references, and point you to a book that does a good job of covering the topic of Lust (and suprisingly isn't aimed at only guys).
Or if you are interested in a fictional story that illustrates this, read The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. It is an allegorical story about a ghost of a man afflicted by lust. Lust is incarnated in the form of a red lizard that sits on his sholder and whispers seductively in his ear. When the man despairs about the lizard, an angel offers to kill it for him. But the fellow is torn between loving his lust and wanting it to die. He fears that the death of the lust will kill him. But, that is only the start... read the book to find out the rest!
If you are really interested, and check my references out, they should answer your questions
Yes, pornography is evil. Not only now but it always has been and always will be.
Lust is the driver behind pornography, Lust to have something (sex), which God created for intimacy inside of marriage outside of marriage. The lack of self-control in fulfilling that lust in any of many different ways (pornography is only one) removes our ability to enjoy the very thing we desire. It is our own evil desire (inside of every one of us) that feeds lust and draws us into the traps of pornography where nothing ever satisfies. Here is one of the problems with lust: When we attempt to fulfill this lust apart from Gods design it is like chasing the wind. One picture is never enough. Having sex once outside of marriage is never enough, nothing is enough. As soon as one desire is fulfilled another comes. God wants us to embrace our sexuality and accept the plan He had when He created sex. Battling lust is part of how we do that!
While i agree that you should be able to trust your children, I see many other things from the flip side of the coin.
It IS a parents business to know what is going on in their childs life. That is nearly THE definition of an involved parent. Todays society shrugs that model but it is the parents job to help guide those *sweetheart* relationships (or to end them if needed).
KDan aparantly believes in teaching a child to do something once just to learn what it is, even when that something is wrong. I strongly disagree, and by following that logic through hopefully you will to. Example: Murdering is wrong but i should allow my child to experience it for themselves so that they *understand* murdering. Clearly that would not be good parenting. The same prinicple applies with many of the evils online (pornogrophy, violence, fostering bad relationships, etc..) A parent should not encourage these things simply so that a child knows, but rather should keep the absolute stand that they are wrong, and off limits.
KDan does make a good point about going the harder route and educating your children. It would be good to educate them on good morals, things of character and integrity rather than on bad symptoms that come from poor character and integrity.
To add to the parent poster: Most would agree that there are dangers to the internet, which your rules are there to protect. When those rules are broken, you should have a pre-set plan of consequences. On the part of the child the punishment is a deterent, but you must be strong enough to cary through so that they can also learn from the experience of breaking the rule. I can not stress enough that you should not cave to their 'needs' and be afraid of taking the computer away as punishment.
With your rules it would seem logical that removing the computer (or internet connection) would be a fair punishment.
As the old saying goes: Spare the Rod, Spoil the child. The older I get (I am only 22 now) the more truth I see in that

The used accounts use bandwidth. Deleting the unused accounts will do nothing to affect the bandwidth
