encrypted disk which requires cd or usb key to boot. I suppose they could then come up with a hardware device to snoop the pci or ide bus, but I'm sure additional workarounds can be made to avoid that too. And since they won't be able to install anything on your disk, you'll just have to remember to check your keyboard and connection everytime for any extra dongle! And close those blinds!
I had to remove this the other day.. it was causing a noticable lag in loading pages. I've gone back to disabling images and using the flashblock extension.
to piss off the islamists. Perhaps next we can put criminals and prisoners of war on them and send them into the LA Coliseum complete with lions and a few battle bots thrown in for good measure.

is it really necessary? Especially when they give you the 'did you mean' as a choice after returning your results? Have they/you considered that some useful pages will be left out simply because they contain spelling or grammar errors? [Spelling police stay away - even newspapers make mistakes and typos]
Perhaps its just my personal preference, but I doubt I am alone in saying that I would rather see less than more from Google - the change to the deja (groups) service a good case and point. In fact, it probably applies to most software coming out these days. Companies continue to want to fuck with the interface and add bells and whistles of debatable value and call it innovation instead of actually coming out with something completely new and useful. YMMV.
In the very broad sense, wouldn't this just be another variant of tort reform? The problems seem similar - abuse of laws and regulations to profit &/or deny. But seeing as we can't even make an inch of headway on regular lawsuits its hard to see patent reform when Megamonolithic Corp and its minions will be battling every inch of the way and with much deeper pockets then the legions of ambulance chasers and class action suiters.
This is a bad move by Apple on two fronts. First, economically it makes no sense to compete in a highly saturated flash mp3 market where margins are razor thin. If they don't have the money for a hard drive based player why would they be expected to pay a premium over equally good products?
Second, and I think Dailmer, BMW and Jaguar can all attest to this - you are degrading your real product line. By coming out with a very low end model you detract from the cache of your high end models.
so why on earth would they want to get involved with Apple? Its all about return on capital and as the Ipod thing fades (at least from a margin standpoint) Apple once again reverts to a niche player without great prospects for increased return on assets or equity.
This is not to say that Apple wont make money or continue to evolve, it just doesn't make sense financially for IBM to be involved.
As the poster said, it can be useful to contact people directly, in particular when a thread is outdated and it may be unlikely the original author would see your followup. I have had people contact me about posts I made over 10 years ago.
However, I have contacted google and told them they have violated the DMCA by engaging in unauthorized modifications to my copyrighted usenet postings. At no time did I give any right to google, or anyone else, to modify my postings of the past 14 years in any way. It is my right, not googles, to include my email address in my postings.
To those who say 'but it will stop spam'. If you don't want to risk spam from usenet postings, use a fake or otherwise hidden email address.
I would further add that acceptance of this sets a horrible precedent. What will be next? Filterning of certain news groups that might be deemed 'inappropriate' by some political groups? Editing or exclusion of posts based on keywords?
Its a slippery slope and while this change might seem minor it goes completely against what usenet is about.
living in the NY Metro area I can say that NY radio is amongst the worst in the country and I have travelled by car thru 45 of the lower 48. The only redeeming stations are on AM - WFAN and the news channels.
and if a channel is marked as private or otherwise keyed then they must (IMHO) treat it as non-public. This would be the equivalent of renting a private room at a restaurant or bar - the clients expectation is privacy (regardless of the price they pay for that room rental).
Likewise an encrypted conversation also should be treated as private as it is obvious (to any reasonable man) that the parties involved intend for their converstation to be private.
The first case I think is much stronger, but either way your best bet is an encrypted private channel. Change keys frequently in person. Destroy the key.
One thing that I really like about my twin LCD's is they got ride of a tremendous amount of heat in the room. Of course this just allowed me to add more disk drives to stay warm in the winter:)
And why can't they open Yucca and if something truly better comes along move whats already been stored?
Living in the general area of Indian Point it kinda alarms me that they would consider a pad with 72 6' tall concrete things overlooking the river. Something makes me think UBL & Co with a few anti-tank missiles could make a tremendous mess of that.
Explaining his view that Europe was the main centre of world industrial bribery, he asked "Why... have we in the past from time to time targeted foreign corporations and government assistance to them?"
"Some of our oldest friends and allies have a national culture and a national practice such that bribery is an important part of the way they try to do business in international commerce... The part of the world that where this culture of getting contracts through bribery, that actually has a great deal of money, and is active in international contracting is to a first approximation Europe".
"[...] The principle offenders, from the point of view of paying bribes in major international contracts in the world, are Europe. And indeed, they are some of the very same companies -- the companies are in some of the very same countries where the most recent flap has arisen about alleged American industrial espionage."
Once again we see how the French and Europeans in general do business - bribes. Its bad enough their companies do it but do we have to put up with the governments too?
shouldnt this have had a fairly substantial speed to start? Ie, the space torch orbits about 29,000 Km/hr which is about the minimum for low earth orbit.
Wait.. let me guess.. you dusted off your summary of 1981-1988 and replaced 'Reagan' with 'Bush'.
What is Reagans standing in the US now? Are the Eurocrats still whining about intermediate range nuclear missiles?
Take a look at the answers. On every question Bush and Nader go on at length - whether you agree or not with what they say. Kerry on the other hand has very short one paragraph platitudes. Is this who you want for your President?
I suppose I have some interest in this case. For those who don't know, Greenwich also has quite a few major corporate headquarters besides the big houses you all expect. So I can understand some of the towns concerns. They aren't NYC with 40,000 police.
However, it is also true that most, if not all of this data is available via third parties if you are willing to pay. Apparently the database contains more than just images, information that might be a bit harder to get. Evenso, it is paid for by the local taxpayers and should be available.
I think a more sensible approach that gives some balance is that:
1) no release of public database info to non US residents 2) no release of local public database info to non city/county/state residents 3) no release of local public database info to corporations unless they have a legitimate office in that town or state.
Anybody not meeting those criteria is free to get the information for a price from 3rd parties. This way those who have paid for database in the first place (local tax payers) have access, but those of dubious stature must take an alternative route.

I found it to be adblock by process of elimination but I've no clue what was (apparently) hanging it up.

dude... put the crack pipe down. We could have bought about 5 billon bbl of oil from Iraq for what its cost us in money alone.

all from the land of tv, movies, cd's? The only question is how much *more* restrictive things would be under Kerry.
