"Telus, a major telco in Canada, decided to block long distance direct-dialed calls to four countries to help reduce dial-up 'modem hijacking'."
Ooh! there were only 4 countries in world. And I had already littered my minds with so many names. Damn it. Thats why i always wondered that names like Canada, or Brazil, or China can never be of countries.
There's much more widerspread modem hijacking associated with many other countries. Just ban all of them then, isn't it. Give people a "busy" errortone when they try to connect, or a "please wait all lines dedicated to an emergency situation" message.
Any1 who believed in this has got to be an idiot. Pure idiot.
You expect Bill Gates, teh richest person in world, who himself owns resources to populate even gmail's 1gb with MS crap, to ask you for a help???? And if ever, a pro believed in this, he deserves to drown in a glass of water. "Mail forwarding automatically detected" - how can you fall for that.
Damn it. See, its this easy to make bucks. And we all aspire to become the next human compiler etc......
I am from India, and with all surity i can say that its absolutely true. I have received mails regarding this, i have seen ads in cyber cafes about "Earn Rs. 15000 sitting home". When I responded to some of them, i was replied i needed to put Rs. 500 ($12) in from my side first, and after that i'll be giving a few clicking assignments, translations and stuff. In didn't need to get out of my schedule, just regular surfing, i was told.
I actually had joined a website which paid you to click like 4 years earlier. Made $10 when i realised i had spent more money on internet connection for it.
Sometime ago, we had article that Computer Workplaces are hellhole of infestation, more than a public toilet. Now, we have more on something that we were normal about.
Is is that big that it'd make impact in the public? People have been very much alright using computers or taking a bath in the morning. For god's sake we don't have an immune system for nothing. If anything, it just makes us more strong to microbes. Long time ago, i read that children growing up in homes with pets develop more immunities. I live in India, and from all my unhygenic surroundings, all i've got so far is a 3 day cold in 18yr life!
Getting exposed to things isn't that bad. (except for radiation, unless you blieve in radioactive man)
about 80 percent of the organisms they found in the flaky scum were in the same genetic families as those known to infect wounds
Do the bacteria on the wounds grow internally? From our own bodies?
No! They're present in the atmosphere and show activity whenever they find a suitable host. Now what could be a better place for them to live on other than those where there is abundance of food for them? And conditions suited to their multiplication too. The study is just a worhtless use of avaiable money. STOP THIS BEFORE IT ALL STOPS YOUR NORMAL WORKING
In India, IBM is aggressively displaying ads for Linux, describing it as a little child who's growing. He helps everyone, saves everyone lots of resources. Brilliant idea, very well executed.
I just can't see why we won't find more linux acceptance at global level
I agree that Atlantis looks more of myth. We sure can't believe in everything by the greats of the past. They too liked goofing around/prdicting crazy theories.
Atlantis has still not been found. Just speculations by some really qualified people, and bcoz of that its appeared in the press.
We really have to setup structures to match the colloseum, tajmahal, etc.
Let us leave something for the humans 1000yrs later, when they visit back the planet for research see that we had really grown.
No matter whatever you want to put in the buildings, if it looks confusing and mystical, put it! Scientists would be making really really strange assumptions later...
you need an awesome combination of 2 things: ALGORITHM and STORAGE
Some ppl talk that a "killer" algo would get you there, but seriously, a search engine is supposed to give you relevant results in everything, and if you search for "Senior employees working at Sugarcane plant", you won't get that with just good scripting. Where the hell do u store it then But algos are also imp as thats whats keeping us visitin Google from MSN
I did a quick search on Gigablast for "Radio control speed controler". Now normally, on google, you would get a couple million pages of websites wanting to sell you a speed controller. On gigablast, however, The first 10 results were pretty much information about speed controllers, and/or battlebot sites that explained what you would need them for.
This is what too much indexing will bring you sometimes. Google is based on making internet like a marketplace, you don't only see the pizza parlours, but also ads of places claiming to have most delicious pizzas, jobs for pizzaboys, food items that are pizza derivatives, and others.
If you donate some cycles to gigablast, and let them build on their index, then you sure would get lots of links, many of which will include some info that really don't matter to you.
Haven't we already have had enuff this year. People will melt away if
d(vulnerabilities)/dt from t=0 to t=1yr
equation for MS holds extremely large values.
Please have some pity on security experts and virus hunter. STOP MAKING YOUR ****ING BUGGY CRAP
anytime, anywhere a DRM scheme would be coming, it would be broken. I don't find any possible reason why it can't be, until and unless it communicates each minute to a server to verify if content is not pirated.
Its same with sound as with vision. Whatever you can see, you can get others to see if you have right instruments. Have never heard of a private conference that couldn't be captured on a camera
if i remember correctly, i think nokia had a loooooong time ago said "Why would any adult like to be seen with a gameboy or equivalent in hand. N-gage just makes that totally cool". or something of the sort..
After the release of n-gage. i don't find that true to any point. the design isn't that fabuloso. It doesn't get any easy on your hands while you get a call playing a game. Hopefully this release would do something abt that
I'm not so much of a geek anymore.
Here's something to show to my n00b friends
>Pamela Anderson: I'm hot for you
>Paris: Our last night pictures!
>Cynthia: I'm on my camera for you right now
>Sex Hungry Teens: We get reeeeeeeeealy dirty when alone...
Who can forget:
Sub: I am the prince of Nigeria. Need some help.
RIAA assumes that suing every P2P user would confirm the revival of "Legal" music trade.
They are in a world of dilemma. Totally single-headed thought
What they don't realise is that curbing the exchange in U.S. won't be followed by every country. This will open floodgates for other broadband-blessed countries and their users.PIRACY OFFSOURCING will become the new field. Thanks for being so threatening, now RIAA would lose even what it earned from sales of cheap CDs and networks, because I'd simply need to get a Music DVD, pirated from outside instead of hoggin on to my PC and searching for them. Of course, other file types/sharing techniques will also develop over the years which will make the objective of RIAA more difficult.
Gaming industry has boomed so far because of all the excitement and the away-from-reality the games put you into. Since the ages we have evolved from games that made little squeaks to those of present where millions go into only in the grahical aspect . Mind you the graphics then compared to today's su**ed. But the craze remained. Indication is that more of our mind goes into the story and characters, than how smooth can you render that world. Thats why I still love the Mario series and my brother plays pokemon-like games on a resource loaded PC.
