Do you think that the amount of money that MS makes has any relationship to the amount of taxes that they pay? They have advanced beyond the level where it has any effect.
I'm not sure that the law is in force. I work at an auto dealership. The last I heard was:
1. The FTC has a DNC list. If you are a telemarketer you must sign up on their website and download a copy of the list. 2. However, the FTC has been restricted from enforcing the DNC list because it is not in their federal mandate. Accordingly, they have removed the link to sign up and download the list off of their website. 3. Therefore, I can not get a copy of the list of people not to call. (Auto Dealers are specifically included on the rules as telemarketers). 4. The FCC has announced that it will begin enforcing the list that the FTC has collected. 5. However, they do not provide a copy of the list to telemarketers to check their calls against. 6. Accordingly, the FCC has deceided that they will only enforce the list if you already have a copy of the list in your possession. If you don't have a copy yet (because the FTC quit distrubuting it) then you don't have to follow the rules. 7. The law was passed that told the FTC to enforce a DNC listing -- not the FCC but they are planning to just fining the telemarketers anyway. 8. Since I didn't grab the list as soon as possible, I can't get a copy now and can ignore it until the FTC gets it available again.
Does this make sense to anyone? No, it's government in action!
The difference is -- to GO to the movies I have to pay $8 for me, $8 for the wife, $15 for the babysitter = >$30 for a movie only. I can dl this film and watch on DVD-RW and see if I even want to purchase it. I buy more DVD at full retail than anyone else that I know. I wouldn't dl say "Breakfast Club" (a 10 year old movie ?older now?) because I'd rather pay $9 and not have to worry with all the hassle -- and I will be watching it enough that I would rather have a pressed disc. On the other hand, will ever want to watch Charlie's Angels II again ? Once is probably enough, so DL, watch, and dispose.....
So how would you use this to help remember a password on a text-only system?
Seriously, it is very annoying that every system we use at work requires a different style of password and that we can't just be recoginized that we are logging in from an previous oked IP or somesuch.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, I mis-typed. That's what I get for reading slashdot while at work and paying attention to the wrong things (my mind was on work....)
"' However, he admits that future sequels may feature a younger actor, similar to the James Bond series post-Connery.'"
Wasn't Roger Moore actually younger than Connery?

Pretty Neat!
