You and Bob are being chased by a cheetah that can run 70mph. How fast do you have to run not to be eaten?
But what if there are two cheetahs? Because there certainly are more than one spammer out there hungry for addresses (and they aren't limited to eating only one at at time).
It is within the interests of those who create address harvesting software to be able to deliver more de-obfuscated addresses than their competitors' software, getting spammers more addresses to both spam to and to sell to other spammers.
Once you have HD-DVD player program for Mac, Mac should play HD-DVD content just fine.
Any chance a Mac with Final Cut Studio or just the latest DVD Studio Pro, capable of authoring high-definition DVDs would be able to play movies from this device?
Are these drives (and an HD-DVD movie) rentable so I can test this myself?
But really, what's the point since I've never even seen an actual computer monitor (not LCD TV/monitor) that can display in full HD.
I run a 21" Apple Studio Display VGA CRT at 2048x1536 (QXGA) as my primary display at home which exceeds the 1920x1080 resolution of HD, which is as high as my KVM switch will support.
Though it seems with the definition of HD resolutions, I find that displays much greater than them now demand premium prices, and you can't get much bigger (2560x1600 16:10 WQXGA (dual-link DVI)) without going multi-head. See the wiki page on display resolution
the best way is javascript. one can reassemble the full email link on a page without having to worry about spambots picking it up.
You realize that this has the same problem as all DRM: you have to provide the tools needed to decode the address with the encoded address. A spambot could just render the page and use a screen reader to scrape the result. An existing OCR capability would make this trivial.
My problem is different. Botnet spammers have not only harvested addresses of mine already, but they're also sending out spam under my domain, so I'm getting their bounce messages from non-existent, full, and filtered addresses. Taking my own website down has done nothing to stem the tide; it seems to have actually increased the spam. I feel like I'll need to put my own domain on blacklists, destroying both their and my abilities to send e-mail from my domain.
I'd love it if by doing so it could be used to immediately identify and cut zombified machines off the net on a single spam attempt to a flagged address.
You really shouldn't pick apart a piece of someone's text at a time. You're taking what he said out of context.
Yes, leave it to the professionals: Usenetters.
As for the little thrust... A person could throw it with the hand towards the earth and have more than enough 'thrust' to 'deorbit' it. Orbit is a VERY precarious balancing act. Just a little higher or lower, faster or slower and you lose it. Throwing the trash back the way they just came from would have the same result as throwing it toward the earth: Faster re-entry.
Keeping in mind that if you throw mass away from the station towards Earth, you're also throwing the station a little further away from the Earth. Action, opposite reaction you see. Like throwing a basketball while standing on a skateboard.
Trash ejection times should coincide with times you'd want to boost the station's orbit to counteract orbital drag.
However, in the meantime, devices using the chip capable of handling both formats will be crippled so that only one format can be used per device. Just because it can support both formats doesn't mean it will in the same device. Drive makers can instead buy this chip in bulk rather that two other chips (one per standard) in bulk and not worry about having half their purchase become worthless because of consumer adoption of one format over another.
That's the benefit.
At least until someone learns how to flash a drive to enable both formats.
Couldn't a presidential pardon clear [having to answer subpoenas] away?
Pardons don't quash subpoenas. Rather it would clear the path for them as someone pardoned for the subject of a subpoena couldn't invoke the 5th Amendment in refusing to testify (you can't self-incriminate for something for which you've received a pardon/immunity).
Makes me wonder......how often Google Maps/Earth updates their satellite photos.
Around here, new satellite photos aren't taken until the city decides they want to rework the roads for an area. My workplace was a developed lot without any construction until they proposed redoing some intersections. The whole city got new images taken then. The surrounding countryside (farming) is still low-res.
First of all, preventing someone from yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater not on fire is completely different. That is a situation where someone is knowingly (presumably, anyway) providing false information to people that did not ask for it
Interesting, as I recently learned in another situation, someone indicating that it is clear to proceed through a left turn in an uncontrolled intersection where his vehicle (and others backed up behind him) is obstructing your view of the (clear?) lane beyond him is apparently not liable if you trust them and you get hit by a car in that far lane. Instead you are at fault for failing to yield. (At least according to the officers I spoke with. The other person claimed his beckoning gesture was only intended to say they (multiple passengers) would wait for me to go through, not that the way was clear for me to do so.)
I'm guessing that the baby is crying because the parents can no longer afford clothes or an education for the child after purchasing the PS3.
That is a funny cynical take on it. I like the way you think.
But I didn't think of it that way; I went more darkly cynical: if you look at what is reflected in its eyes--pretty much entirely explosions from violent games--and how the tears get sucked back up into its eyes, it's almost a commentary on how kids are getting desensitized to violence and that video games are replacing family, beyond babysitter to surrogate parent. (And it gives kids telekinetic abilities.)
Which is clearly not the message they intend to convey, much like the quickly pulled TiVo ad which narcs on its owner's nudism to his date who flees when she sees what's in his Now Playing list before he can emerge from the kitchen naked with a cake.
But from another ad featuring a Rubik's Cube, it seems it is more depicting a lab experiment pitting the toys of old against the PS3 to show how the new product is superior: the baby doll wants it (calls it "mama"), the Rubik's Cube explodes to cover the room in color. That's probably the concept they wanted to get across, but the baby doll one is so insane I expect it to go viral by itself outside of the context of the ad campaign; its successful for all the wrong reasons.
Compare the new Head On ads of the form, "I hate your ad, but I love your product." They're trying too hard to ride their infame.
It's sad, really. Yakov Smirnov's joke, "In Soviet Russia, we don't have American Express; instead we have Russian Express: `Don't Leave Home'," just isn't funny anymore.
He really should update his act and get out performing it now about how everything he fled from in the USSR is now happening here.
Except he probably couldn't do it here and instead would have to start his new act by fleeing the the US for Canada.
All I know about Sony's ad campaign for the PS3 is that the ad featuring the naked baby doll is really freaky (especially the expressions on its face when it laughs), yet also has a strong 2001: A Space Odyssey homage feel.
What does ASCAP have to say about bars that bump songs paid for on the jukebox from being played? I know of one that announces bogus phone calls while they press a button that clears all songs paid for by the person who requested the current song.
Oh, that's right, ASCAP has nothing to do with defending the rights of the listener. They'll gladly accept the percentage from the jukebox take regardless whether all purchased songs actually got played.
The question is, is the artist happy to get the money and not be heard? 'Cause I'm sure some of you could name songs you never want to hear again. Imagine how much money artists could make if for each song on a ClearChannel playlist any one person could veto it for only 25 cents, jumping right to the next song.

...since it failed two days BEFORE its 10th anniversary it couldn't have been a warranty-thing.
It could if the warranty didn't account for the days added in the two leap years in this 10-year span.
Yeah, I'm suspecting a programming error not being able to handle the 3,651st day.
Funny thing is the Koran says to "kill the unbelivers" and as far as I can tell both of these groups ARE beleivers!
Are there pertinent distinctions between being an unbeliever, a disbeliever, and a nonbeliever?
Can one be an anti-believer?
(De-believer? a-believer? e-believer? iBeliever? You believe her?)
Sure, but when "House" does it, everyone thinks it's cool.
Are you saying Rumsfeld should get an Emmy or Golden Globe?

It actually took $1.50 before the bartender relented and allowed the song to play.
