Another example is the "Magic Bullet" experiment from the Kennedy assasination. They assumed the "Magic Bullet" was made out of ice.
I regret to inform you that you are incorrect. The ice bullet episode had nothing to do with the Kennedy assasination, and I think was based on a scene from the movie Most Wanted. I don't believe that the Mythbusters have ever done an episode involving the Kennedy (at least not according to a basic search of their episode guides on tv.com). You may be confusing it with a special that the History Channel ran.
Obviously iTunes MP3 encoding, and a lot of the other things they mention, are going to be optimized for the x86 -- it seems silly to complain about that today.
The article didn't complain, it was more of a "State of OSX" type article. The author conceded that these were early numbers and that things would probably get much better.
unless you are a professional or extremely experienced recreational diver familiar with the intricacies of mixed-gas and deep diving, chances are you won't survive a 100 meter dive either.
I was under the impression that without some sort of other agreement (which the article does not mention) that a company owns the code generated by its employees. Why wouldn't that apply in this case and making the modification of programs in your possesion moot?
Another question that needs to be asked is, what about SpyWare people actually WANT installed? I know it's rare, but I have seen people who actually LIKE having things like Gator and Bonzai Buddy installed.
I thought that too at first, but then I realized it's a pretty simple task to act as a middle man between you and amazon.
1) Take your login.
2) Login to amazon with your login.
3) Pull down your account info.
4) Display it back to you.
Indeed, but I doubt if reproducing content for the express purpose of generating advertising revenue constitutes fair use by even the most flexible definition of the term.
So if a magazine has a book review section and also has ads in the magazine they would have to pay the publisher for using their book? I don't think so.
I used to work for a Bank of America call center and I know that we didn't REQUIRE someone's SSN to give info out, and setup certain things on their account. We asked for it, but if someone (quite unplausibly IMHO) said "I forgot." we would ask for other account information to try to verify their identity. Some of it is rather run of the mill stuff (address, DOB) and none of it would be anywhere as difficult to get from someone as their SSN. Once "in" someone could do at least 3 different things that I can think of that would hurt you.
Change your address so they can receive your statements which could possibly be used for further identity theft.
In combination with the above, apply for a credit card over the phone which would be sent to that newly changed address.
Setup a wire transfer to an account of their choice.
I will admit I haven't worked there in about 5-6 yrs, but from the scripts I've heard the associates go through when I call, it doesn't sound like it's changed much.
I guess it's rather hard to be afraid when you are the one holding the BFG.
And I think that's one of the things that makes the Fatal Frame series so scary. You're not walking around with a gun, you are walking around with a CAMERA. You're not as confident with your abilities when you've taking on something scary with a polaroid instead of an M-16.
That game scared the living crap out of me. I walked around with the lights on for a week after that game. My wife sat with me while I was playing and after 2 minutes she walked out of the room since it scared her so much. It creates this environment that is just so suspenseful you nearly wet yourself when something jumps out at you.
there may not have been a clause in our treaty to extradite him.
IANAL, but from what I've read there is extradition as long as the crime does not have a possibility for the death penalty (since Mexico does not have or support the death penalty).
The major problem with most Americans (and I say this as an American) is that they have a very black and white view of politics. This election most people were either "GWB got rid of those terrorists, 4 more years!" or "GWB sucks! Vote Kerry!" without realizing that under our current system it doen't matter which goon you put in the White House, they are all a bunch of crooks.
I noticed that too, but this makes me wonder how fair it was:
Memory
AMD: 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS 3200XL (CAS 2-2-2-5)
Intel: 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS2 Pro (CAS 3-3-3-8)
Now I am no expert in computer memory these days (I stopped paying attention when DDR hit), but shouldn't the difference in these impact the tests somewhat?

They gave us a free Star Trek game with the book so it wasn't a total loss.
Yeah at least you got an ATM cource code manual!
Of course you can learn social skills!

Well yeah there's that detail too.
Not saying you're incorrect, but I would think that a watch certfied "100 meters water resisitant" would survive if I dived that deep.

What's this have to do with my haircut?

What would have been even more amusing is if had been used against a Sony MMORPG like Everquest 2.

But do you know both parents' Social Security numbers? They're required on the application for a replacement card.
Not really. I just got a replacement card a few weeks ago and basicly all I needed was a photo ID and know my SSN.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I thought it was part of an an international conspiracy to irradiate the reproductive organs of /. readers to keep them from breeding.
I'm pretty sure that will take care of itself.
