not too long ago there was on the news, a story about someone 'harassing' drive-thru customers with that. Cops or FCC caught him (after it made news?) and are now charging him full extent of the law for running a pirate radio station, sending profranities over the air, basically everything that they can, at least that's what I heard on the news.
Conspiracy Theory anyone? Better not borrow "Cather in the Rye" heh. and yes, I have read the book on my own, not in high school (although I did read it then too)
I have a large collection of pens (around 4,000 or so) and around 30 foutain pens from a lot of companies. The only problem I have with foutain ink is the new thermal and waxy papers places use tend to not absorb the ink.
Try fountainpenhospital.com or eBay. there are a bunch more but I'm not at home and don't have the links handy.
Scientists (some) like a lot of people with education believe that they are superior to everyone else except peers, and that they really really have to dumb it down to 2nd grade education (which for some people IS necessary) but when you are talking to Scientific American, maybe they want to value their knowledge secretly as long as possible and feel that nobody else could POSSIBLY understand how it works.
Or they will just raise prices on the items to compensate for the higher cost of selling them, paying extra to buy something because they don't wan't people stealing them, what a concept, it'll happen to little things, already does on big ticket items.
I'm going to have to have to have you change the name of the article, you see, "Potter" is part of a registered trademark of GreedyBitch Inc. this article might be picked up by the mass media and kids would read it, thinking that it is the latest Harry Potter installment.
If the name isn't changed quickly, we will have no other option but to sue for 100 BILLION DOLLARS! </dr. evil>
The way they get your number is when you PAY to download a ringtone or whatever from a 3rd party site and have it sent to your phone, they harvest those numbers, I've not gotten one on my phone in 3 years because I refuse to partake in that crap.
It's hitting the trendy money-to-spend hipsters out there, not bothering me.
"Frazier was arrested in October 2002, when Customs agents tracking his operations found computer chips and hacking gear in his luggage on a flight from Canada."
So Customs agents are trained to know what 'hacking gear' is? would it not be like a flash card reader/writer and some blanks, perhaps a laptop? Looks like every business person in the air can be charged with possesing 'hacking gear'. What about terrorists? I'm sure some terrorist out there used a laptop before, so now everyone with a laptop is a potential terrorist!
Can I sue Microsoft becuase my computer crashed, and I was on the verge of the 'next big thing' and have potentially lost $500 million?
I'm not saying the guy wasn't a idiot for doing the same thing he just got out of hot water for, that's a given, but this ruling is completely and utterly stupid. This crap also makes me have less and less faith in my government and judicial system, showing more and more every day that the government is run by private companies, not 'the people'.
Justice isn't just blind, it's retarded.
Or does that prospect.org page have a ton of two dollar words, is this supposed to be for highly educated people? (I would like to think I have a large vocabulary, and I still had to dictionary.com some of the words). Perhaps the author likes to make themself look smart, or perhaps I'm just used to local newspapers that are written for an 8th grade comprehension level.
I know they are both owned by MS, but the thing is, the Slashdot article says "it won't be picked up by anyone else!" Like it's some exclusive, MSNBC is pretty well stretched out as far as reporting goes, it's not like a big secret.
I thought the sarcasm was going to bleed through, especially with the end of this, sorry though, I'll make my future posts more apparent, I thoroughly loath the government using this information for these purposes, becuase soon enough (like with the oregon thing) they'll be able to pinpoint you to places, let's say you had a robbery conviction 10 years ago, but your car was near a place that got robbed (you were just on your way to work) but they haul your butt in anyways, as you are a 'likely suspect'
Why don't we just have governers in cars that limit them to the speed limits of the area? that way nobody can go faster than the speed limit. What if you have to to avoid an accident? Collateral damage, you'd be breaking the law anyways!
We can also put cameras in every home and chips in everyones heads and prosecute thoughtcrime!!!
I've looked into this actually, and it seems that GM and Ford are the only companies that actually tell how you can access the black box, why not just purchase a foreign car that the manufacturer doesn't let the info out on? Or, here is an idea, figure out a way to purge the memory or stop it from being written, i'm sure the/. crowd can figure that out...
I think the idea behind this scheme is not to catch terrorists, or even deter them. But to keep the public under a false sense of security, thinking "hell, if they are searching a lot of people, they must be getting the real ones too!" Although it never works out that way.
I think I will be flying private planes if they start looking into your credit. A credit check could be like "Well, you evaded child support and paying the bank $5,000, we can't let you board, if you have the money for a flight, you can pay them!"
They know they they won't be able to get this to work right, they are just pocketing money and putting out a crap system, but I think that it may have better use for private organizations, such as "Well, he evaded taxes and bills, but we see him having a one way ticket to (place), search for him there."
Is that now the RIAA is going to go after these people HEAVILY so they can make examples out of them.
All this becuase they've had to put a lot of effort and get bad publicity because Verizon did the right thing.

It's in a non audible high frequency EULA you agree to by listening to the music. /smartass
You can be charged with "False Imprisonment" why not "False Searching and Siezing"?

Won't be picked up anywhere else? This article has been on the front page of msn.com all day Friday.

Apparently you couldn't taste my sarcasm, i thought that would have been apparent with the "Collateral damage, but you'd be breaking the law anyways!"

Heh, I can't wait for the lawsuit, Asian person searched and told that he's being searched becuase "he's the color yellow"

If any 19 year old in the US can get a fake ID for a few hundred, what makes you think a terrorist couldn't do the same.
