I've taken to tagging these with (for this example) "typo !stagnant stagnate". Though maybe "typostagnate!stagnant" might be better if internal bangs were not rejected if prefix matched "typo".
Or how about image substitution so it's like you're wearing the sunglasses from They Live, replacing advertisements with generic placards, and politicians look like alien zombies?
There is a considerable difference, IME, in viewing experience between watching series on Showtime, HBO, etc. vs. broadcast networks from the lack of commercials There's getting to be an annoyingly less difference with Showtime, now that they're taking to advertising their original series in the lower quarter of the screen every 15 minutes or putting a SHO bug in the lower right corner or covering half the credits with promos for the premieres of their series. Even on their HD channel!
Hello, Showtime? Station identification every 15 minutes is only for broadcasters, not premium cable channels!
Crap like that is making me consider dropping Showtime from my line-up. I only keep it for Dexter and an occasional HD movie.
A friend hated snow so much that he put it in his dial-up BBS's filter, so "snow" would be rendered "****".
Someone decided to post a Christmas song, to hilarious results from the other possible 4-letter substitutions. He relented and removed it from the filter.
Unfortunately, I'm not certain what song it was: "Frosty the ****man" or "Let It ****" are the ones that leap to mind.
There's nothing that makes me angrier than "New fossil rewrites human evolutionary history" and then when you actually go and read the source, it does not such thing. So it wasn't a fossilized time machine?
So paying a third party to steal insider information and possible trade secrets isn't illegal? Can someone explain that one to me? Didn't someone just go to jail for trying to sell Coke insider info to Pepsi? Pepsi wasn't the one prosecuted, but then Pepsi also didn't buy the information.
TorrentSpy could sue Mr. Anderson, but there's the possibility that Mr. Anderson's internal account was always forwarding to GMail while he worked there, was a member of the management mail groups inside the company, and when he left his account was not purged nor those mail groups updated to exclude his account, resulting in communications continuing to be fowarded to his GMail account.
If that were the case, did Mr. Anderson have any obligation to inform TorrentSpy that he was continuing to receive the e-mails, or even treat them as secret? Do boilerplate signatures like:
The information transmitted may contain confidential material and is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed. Any review, retransmission, dissemination or other use of or taking of any action by persons or entities other than the intended recipient is prohibited. If you are not the intended recipient, please delete the information from your system and contact the sender. truly have any force of law? (IMO, binding contracts don't use the word "please". IANAL.)
Or how about just offering free clients before this final event?
The code needs to be preserved somehow. It must eventually enter the public domain. Opening the source is an easy and mutually beneficial way to satisfy a copyright holder's obligation to society for receiving their temporary monopoly over the work.
Thanks to DVDDecrypter and AutoGK all my movies are sitting on a server and the DVDs are sitting in a box in the basement. I plan to eventually set up such a media server as well, but... I like seeing the DVDs in their packaging. Part of what you're paying for is the artwork on that packaging and the printed inserts (if any). I like having that on display. Having scans and photos on screen isn't the same as being able to pet the head of a Planet of the Apes ape-bust, stare down a Cylon head, or have a DVD box set in the shape of a Police Box.
So my DVD collection is along three walls of my basement in enough rack space to hold 3060 DVDs in standard keep cases (Atlantic Penguin and Elf racks), though in practice fewer due to my liking limited-edition case designs.
Meanwhile I'm using a 400-disc changer, 218 of its slots filled with Star Trek (except ST:TNG Season 2 Disk 7, which was missing).
Hmm, looks like ProtectFairUse.org went away in the tail end of 2005. Last update appears to have been one month after its sponsor, 321 Studios, maker of DVD X Copy, closed its doors, then disappeared about year later.
Meanwhile, unsolicited commercial e-mails (spam) to unique addresses given only to 321 Studios have continued.
But does it do Åncient? If so then Daniel Jackson is out of a job... He'll make his money on the ad impressions on the page. Did you not notice that the summary started with, "DrJackson writes"?
Gunmaker Smith & Wesson is planning to come out with their own take on convergence devices: the !Phone (pronounced bang-phone). When the firearm feature is discharged, it automatically calls 911 and uses GPS to report its location. Also included are orientation sensors to record its position and orientation when discharged for ballistic trajectory analysis (similar to features of the Nintendo Wii) and a fingerprint reader embedded in the trigger.
Shooting ranges will be equipped with devices that communicate with the firearm to inhibit the calling of 911 and instead log the information to your PDA or other portable computing device to analyze your shooting proficiency.
Of course. the !Phone can also be used to make phone calls. The keypad will be located on the left side of the grip (or right side for the left-handed model), the microphone at the base of the grip, and the speaker just below the tip of the barrel. Flipping the safety answers the call.
The !Phone accepts multiple batteries which are loaded in the clip. You can install more batteries for longer charge duration at the expense of ammunition at launch, but they are continuing development of a dual-purpose battery-bullet that can be fired once fully discharged.
Is the summary writer/editor/site possessed? Not only did it not make a ton of sense... It's a copy-and-paste job from another site that inserts links in the form "Latest news about X" after key company names that the submitter didn't bother to strip out.
RAM works in a way similar to Alberto Gonzales. If you ask it what it was doing at any moment in time, it will simply reply 'I don't recall.'
The only difference is that the RAM is actually telling the truth. There's one other difference: you can also prove the RAM is telling the truth. The reason "I don't recall" testimony is so loved by those using it is that it can't be impeached. There is no empirical evidence whether a statement of "I don't recall" is true or false.
A court order mandating politicians be outfitted with personal life recorders would be interesting, using this case as precedent.
Does this mean they can subpoena the contents of the white board in conference nine at 7:23 AM on June the 13, 2005? More like an order that the white board be placed under constant surveillance creating a continuous, timestamped, and legible video record from now on.
And what if you obey a "cease and desist" letter by turning off the servers? Does that leave you liable for destruction of evidence? Yes. It's your basic no-win scenario, or double indamnity: you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
The court said 'No, a closer analogy is that you're transcribing them on self-destructing paper, and we can make you use regular paper and hand them over. We can't stop you from stopping to record them entirely, but as long as they're in memory, you have already actually recorded them in a legal sense. They are physically represented in property of yours.'. They aren't considering that to record this information in durable form would make the system inoperable. If you had to tap into the memory bus to record every write operation to memory, you'd need to replace a huge striped RAID of drives every few minutes (I'm being generous) or slow the system down to practical unusability so that memory writes are no faster than a hard drive write, and still have to replace drives continuously.
Imagine the implications if it is determined that memories are stored by some measurable physicality in the brain. With such an advancement, under this precedent, memories become subpoena-able.
The government should fear this as the boilerplate "I do not recall" answers will then become impeachable testimony.
For data to exist in RAM, does it not also have to exist on the hard drive in some fashion also? No. Data can come from any source, not just hard drives. The data going into this text box from my keyboard exists in RAM, but does not yet exist on a hard drive. If I submit it, it arrives in that server's RAM before it even touches the server's hard drive.
"bamalance" is a slang term that refers to a bomb or hazardous material disposal truck. It looks a bit like a cross between an ambulance and an armoured car. The "bam" in "bamalance" refers to the explosive properties of a bomb being disposed of, i.e. the laptop. You must be good at Balderdash.
The linked page correctly spelled it as "an ambulance".
And such a virus that hides in a directory hidden by a fingerprint-reading USB drive has a greater likelihood to have an opportunity to steal sensitive information, particularly information protected by a fingerprint-reading USB drive.
It's like installing surveillance cameras with deliberate blind spots.
No. The distinction is WHO's doing the hiding. If a user on the computer intentionally hides files or directories from other possible users on the computers, it's not malware. What if the hidden files or directories are software-based keyloggers and associated data?
We didn't even have ONE girlfriend, let alone an ex, you insensitive clod! There are options there too. If you can just get yourself in a photo with someone else, you can then delete the empty space between you to make you look like you're together.
So it's a great tool not just for breakups but for stalkers as well!
I wonder how good it will be with moving pictures. How well can it remove Jar-Jar Binks while minimizing exposing artifacts across continuous frames?

I've taken to tagging these with (for this example) "typo !stagnant stagnate". Though maybe "typostagnate!stagnant" might be better if internal bangs were not rejected if prefix matched "typo".
And considering his oath of office, that excited utterance alone should be enough for a charge of treason to stick.

Incidentally, I've taken to putting their fair-use text as boilerplate footers on every page of my site in default font size.
Gee I... hope using that, and a copy of their site logo converted to GIF next to it linked back to their site, is considered by them to be fair use.
