Your are going to start wailing about nuclear annihilation for countries that between them have less than 8 delivery vehicles with range and guidance systems barely able to get out of their back yard?
And if you are trying to access any site I block we will hold the meeting to discuss this in the HR department where you will need explain why you need to access sites blocked by company approved blocking policy. After which, we will do an analysis of your hard drive.
I use OpenDNS as my upstream DNS server. Even on a free account you can set up block lists which can kill off a LOT of those nasty word tag thingies that underline specific words and pop up things as your mouse crosses the word.
I can't be sure that it will block tynt.com (yet) but I've already added it to my block list which includes (and works perfectly for) many of the other annoyances:
I am aware of the hollering, but as yet, from what I read, there is no court decision backing that up, and Amazon still has it enabled on most books. (Its now supposidly up to the publishers). Also hacks have already been leaked on how to turn it on even if the publisher disables it.
But doesn't that just make this another Vindictive Disabled advocacy stunt aided and abetted by the Federal Government?
Although they claim it works with eyeglasses in the real world that does not work due to the narrow range of tints and prescriptions that can be handled.
SA wasn't even used in the gulf war. Its unlikely ever to be used because so much relies on it, and a Euro system or a Russian system would make it pointless.
It was never all that great (the claimed accuracy is optimistic), the receivers are hopelessly expensive and all commercial use has, for all practical purposes, ceased.
Even during SA use periods, GPS tended to be more accurate anyway.
I disagree. The kind of people who would use the trial version are the kind that don't have 600 bucks for the full package and no corporate backing. Those people are used to digging for bargains, and free is a good price.
AbiWord on the other hand is pretty lame compared to OpenOffic or StarOffice. I look at it every three or four years to see if it has improved, and it is a perennial disappointment.
I needed only read all the pejoratives in the summary to realize no rational representation of the story would be found here.
Obviously the poster "mdsolar" is an unbiased source of info. Perhaps he has a plan to produce 1/100th as much power with solar as is produced by nukes.
More likely he would just shut them down and burn more coal.
You needn't randomly alter the data, you need only randomly desensitize the selection filter.
Chances are if you were hypnotized you might actually remember the car in its true color of purple, and also the blue dress of the attractive driver.
Desensitizing the filters (blue and or purple and or car and or dress) and use that to hit the database any you have perhaps something similar to what is going on in the brain.
As for the randomness of random number generators it matters not a wit what they cough out when rebooted. It matters only what they cough out NEXT. There are many good scenarios for getting more randomness out of random number generators, and the literature is full of such things.
However, there is no strong evidence to believe that what happens in the brain when associating inputs with memories is in any way "random". If it was you would be as likely to remember a slice of bread when you thought of the car.
So all of this discussion of random number generators is "up the wrong tree barking", a quibble over an unimportant tangent.

Wait wait wait...

He was probably slowed down by constantly fighting the spell checker while trying to ROFL all his LOLs and smilie-sad all his heart-yous.
I do run my "own damn dns server".
That's why i stated "I use OpenDNS as my upstream DNS server. ". The key word is "Upstream".
You can check that this is EXACTLY what I said here: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1510934&cid=30770732
As for mooching, I pay of that service.
So, apologies are in order.
If you go to Wired and your browser tries to access tynt only the access to tynt will be blocked. Wired will show fine.
You DO have a basic understanding of how browsers work don't you?
If my company starts doing business with tynt I will get a memo from powers higher than you to that effect.
Why Yes, yes I am.
And if you are trying to access any site I block we will hold the meeting to discuss this in the HR department where you will need explain why you need to access sites blocked by company approved blocking policy. After which, we will do an analysis of your hard drive.
But you have to run admuncher on each machine.
One fix in opendns and the entire company lan is protected from this nonsense. Why sandbag each house when you can just plug the leak in the Dam?
That is a losing battle. You can't keep up.

I can't be sure that it will block tynt.com (yet) but I've already added it to my block list which includes (and works perfectly for) many of the other annoyances:
chitika.net

intellitxt.com
kontera.com
optmd.com
tribalfusion.com

Some versions of the Kindle will READ TO YOU.
Why aren't the blind DEMANDING the kindle?
Not only too soon but too expensive.
Tobii (the Swedish company in question) has products that start at $7500 bucks per unit.
http://www.tobii.com/corporate/eye_tracking/our_technology.aspx
Further, all of their devices require custom installations.

LOL...
Good one. You had me going there for a moment...
PAY ME!
They have already stopped Censoring.
They have forced all Gmail accounts to https.
Read the news once in a while for pete sake.
Being the starter of WWIII is being good? Being good or evil is something that time decides.
Hyperventilate much?
But they have ALREADY stopped censoring and have forced https connections for Gmail.
The Ball is in China's court.
They have done EXACTLY what they promised they would do.

MonsterTrimble invents "ProtoGodwin". Film at 11.
Exactly.

Press F7, click options, select your dictionaries, check boxes for spellcheck as you type.
I think your experience with OO is PEBCAK related.
I disagree. The kind of people who would use the trial version are the kind that don't have 600 bucks for the full package and no corporate backing. Those people are used to digging for bargains, and free is a good price.
AbiWord on the other hand is pretty lame compared to OpenOffic or StarOffice. I look at it every three or four years to see if it has improved, and it is a perennial disappointment.
You need your reading glasses too, if you haven't found the spell checker in OpenOffice.org.
That is wrong. They have the trial version availble while the other versions are updated and re-released.
I'm guessing the trial version has no infringing features.
As for lock in via a trial version, is there seriously anyone left on the planet that does not know about OPENOFFICE.ORG ?

I admit to a Carbon Bias.
Wanna make something of it Mr Sandman?
Visual Basic? Are you for real?
Don't you seed your random number generator with something like the current millisecond or something?
You needn't randomly alter the data, you need only randomly desensitize the selection filter.

Small claims?
Howbout RICO. There were many kicked out and all they have to do is find prior incidences of it happening.
