I would also recommend e-mailing yourself the hi-res scanned images. That way, if all you have left is the skin on your back (sort of speak), you could re-gain access to the photos at the nearest Internet Cafe.
And when traveling overseas, *always* make several color photo copies of it. Should your passport get lost, stolen, taken; you will want a secondary copy that can be obtained elsewhere.
I can only imagine how shit up a creek you would be without it.
I live in Texas and use Time-Warner. They don't charge you for zombie traffic, they disconnect you.
Correct. I used to work for Time Warner in Austin, TX. We had to give customers a three-srikes you're-out policy. The first two times, a TSR agent could re-enable your account. At this point, an agent would direct a customer to the http://rrsecurity-abuse.com/ website for review. On the third time, we would no longer have the power to re-enable the account. We could only provide the customer with a number to directly call the security department.
I've talked with someone whom worked in the security department. Almost always the problem is an infected spambot on the other side. Having a PC hijacked to run it's own little SMTP engine is not cool. They will blow out as much crap as the bandwidth will allow. Also, users have been disable due to piracy. No, it wasn't because Time Warner wanted to do this. It was because they've been given a court order after the ISP records have been sopenaed. Courtesy of the MPAA and RIAA.
Honestly, if you can get to try some of the other bananas out there, you'll never EVER touch the bland yucky Cavendish again.
To each his own I guess. But why do so many people dislike the Cavendish? They're quite tasty if you let them ripen for a few days (or week). I find them at their best when you see it fully yellow with some slight few brown spots. If it's greenish-yellow or just turned fully yellow, they're often too firm and bland. Too ripe and they become very sweet and mushy.
Is it me, or do most people not know when the right "ripe time" to eat a Cavendish?
You've basically judged an article simply by the publisher without even considering any of the issues brought up from the article.
I do that all the time with Time Magazine. I mean sure, I'll pick one up twice a year and read the main article (at the dentist, or waiting for a new set of tires to be installed...etc). But hey, it's not *my* fault they have a political leftist agenda at the root of their premises. When a publisher has a bias, I will have a biased attitude toward them. Funny how that works, eh?
for a 'republican' (gwb) he SURE is causing a lot of hurt in his own party.
Is? IS!?? He HAS can continues to do so. The *only* thing I agree with GWB on is national security and defense. Other than that, he and the Republicans party have turned into the big-spending party that the Democrats have been.
Obviously others will disagree and tag me for flaming/trolling. But hey, I'm used to it when I express my opinion. It's the cross I must bare.
No, but I did word it that way. I should have proof read that before posting. Sorry, just at work and multi-tasking... Anyways, I ment that he should accept the concept of paying for my software rather than stealing it.
Thanks to your post, I'll keep the old Hex editor installed. I still won't read your EULA, so you can write whatever you like in it.
Ya, that's good. Just take software without paying for it. But know this... If i'm not getting a dime for my effort, I'll just drop out of the industry and find some other line of work that *is* profitable. But I refuse to slave away my valuable time.
You know what the most costly thing in this word? It's ignorance. You're a prime example of it. But I digress.
If you want to develop software/media and have it distributed for free, then that's your prerogative. But if *I* want to develop a program and sell it for profit in exchange for my time/effort, then it's my choice. You have NO right to take and steal from me. If you don't accept payment for my product, then don't take it. Find some other solution. This is the basic idea of capitalism. Thanks to your post, I'll embed a "self destruct" feature into my software. If you pirate and/or don't have a proper key on my white-list, the program will delete itself. Oh, and I will kindly state as such in the EULA.
Hey, how about the government screw off instead. I'm not for piracy myself. In fact, I think you're scum if you pirate. But to have the government enforce laws via gun-point is going way too far.
To all the software and media content providers: Use dongles or create "white list" serial numbers to activate your products.
To the US federal gov: Fuck off! I've left my Republican party these past years because they're no different than the Democrats. So until my *trust* is earned, every politician is guilty until they prove otherwise to me.
3) It's new. Big corporations HATE new. New is work and new is learning. CEO people hate work and learning.
The idea of not having to work (or as hard) has been around since the dawn of man-kind. It even applies to myself. God, I would *love* to be on some tropical island drinking Long Island Ice Teas while my servers do all the busywork. Doesn't happen that way I'm afraid.
One last point, these CEO's are having to compete against each other on a global scale.
I've seen some homes outfitted with a professional network installation. What I mean by professional is that having RJ45 wall jacks and all the cable splitters, modem, and routing equipment in the attic or closet. However, most users at home have their cable modem and/or router right next to at least one PC. I'm sorry, but your local cable/telco will just see you as a "special" case.
I'm sure the next wave of cable modems will have red numeral LEDs on them. The more you download/upload, the higher the number counts (in bytes). Sort of like an odometer. The first of each month it gets reset back to zero. But, if you go over your monthly limit four things will happen. Should there be any question, the customer will have a visual representation of their usage habits.
1. Your connection slows down. 2. Your connection is turned off. 3. You pay extra past that X amount of bytes.
or...
4. You throw the damn modem out the windows and tell the ISP to go f*ck themselves.
Of course, and why not? This post is about VIA providing drivers for the Linux OS.
Since when did slashdot become a site for vendors to have their sock puppets write glowing posts for them?
Based on your account number, your obviously not new around here. So why did you even make this statement? Come on, you know the answer to that. But in case you forgot I will tell you.
Slashdot will praise any company and/or its technology that provides unobstructed freedom and functionality for all the worlds' geeks. As such, they deserve to be praised. After all, this is the kind of behavior we want to encourage is it not?
I do IT work for small medical (home and industrial) and rehabilitation facilities in Houston. I find it funny that each desk has like 50 pins, 5 small calendars, notepads, and other nick-knacks with all the major drug brands and type all over them. Also worth mentioning is the fact I see at least one or two sales reps on-site. They pass along all this marketing stuff like candy to children as though it was Halloween.
Is this a good or bad thing? I can't say. But, I wanted to pass along my experiences while out on the IT support battlefield.

Guns my friend. Guns an violence are the only tools the oppressors listen too (sadly). I speak historically of course.
I fear that if not us, our children will be fighting the next American revolution.
It's better than nothing.

Cool, so they managed to synthesize how a gecko sticks to surfaces...
Question: Can this technology be applied to tires? Having more grip with less surface area contact would be a major improvement.
You mean Communists?
Every rose has its thorn...

Ohh, about as bad as every human being on earth pissing in the ocean at once and wondering how high the water will rise.
Answer: Nill, nadda, nothing, zippo.
One of my clients uses McAfee Enterprise, and it sucks ass! Even worse, I'm one of a few who get's to admina...err...troubleshoot the damn thing.
If you think the client side is bad, try playing around with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. That thing is the fuckin devil!
An active tag carries its own power supply - like the toll booth speedpass tags.
Not to nitpick, but that used to be the case in the late 90s. But today here in Texas (EZ-Tag system), we're now using RFID stickers.

Isn't that like using a gun to prevent a cold? Yes I suppose it's effective, but still...
Sure, if put up to your head and pulled the trigger. I doubt that cold is still going to be an issue from there on.
I would have left that company long ago under those circumstances. To hell with that!
So did you give them nick names? May I suggest Mouth 1, Mouth 2, and Mouth 3? Call that enough times, and *maybe* they'll keep their pie-holes shut.
