With the addition of some good mud, you could morter up a wall with these things. Given the waste and coruption in most charities and the UN in particular, $100 each would make the bricks in this house generally cheaper then most philanthropic, and any UN action would cost to build a house....
Ok, so riddle me this one: I go downto Sam Goodys and buy a DVD of my favorite Anime. I get home and rip off the shrink wrap complete with copyright warning slap it in my player and wait through the FBI "Don't mess with us or we will sell your first born" warning to now be presented with...the same fan-sub credits on my bit-torrent copy only with the "This is a Fan-Sub Not for sale" airbrushed out, but interesting, not the irc channel credit for the fan-sub. SO...a "pirate" fan-sub, is ok to sell as a valid product,but...wait...
In this circumstance, the Boot chime is replaced with a special "Steve Jobs snickers" sound, and the ring of yet another cash register at an Apple store...
So the gripe is not that the Republicans were getting paid, but that the Democrats STOPPED getting paid? How much was earmarked for the Libertarians? Socialists? Greens? Peace and Freedom? American? Independent? -how DARE someone trade money for influence to the party currently in power! Don't they know that being out of power is no excuse to cut off my all expense paid junket to Maui with hot and cold running interns?
Silly...
In other news, another group of hackers sometines called "the FBI" used a known exploit, sometimes called "the Warrant" to copy records from mnay major search engines.
In the 1930s due to poor investments and no securities other then the depositor's money to secure it, many banks failed. What does this have to do with billions lost to hackers? Well, in Oklahoma, shady bankers figured a quick way to cover up cooked books: Tell everyone the bank was robbed.
Pretty Boy Floyd was a bank robber of that era who, if you check the records, on one day is said to have robbed 3 banks, in 3 seperate towns, at over 150 miles distance, all on the same day. Same or similar occurance for months, even when Floyd was known by the police to have left the state. He was pretty good at robbing banks in a virtual way.. Easier to blame a crook in the headlines then a crook in a suit, and, then after the bank folds, the suit can later go into a second career in politics;) Floyd was gunned down by the cops later. Dead men tell no tales...
>I think everybody should be forced to learn to drive stick on an underpowered car. There was once a saying: What do you hate more then VWs? -VW DRIVERS! This was for exactly the reasons you cite. They learned all those tricks. Land Yacht drivers (ever seen a 1968 Linclon?) never did..
I woudl take your idea one step further: I think all drivers should be required to qualify with a motorcycle. That would train them with absolutely sound driving technique...or die..
Blasphemy!

I was never "trained" as a programmer. My major was History. I just found out the Campus Computing Center and playing Star Trek on a mainframe in 1975 was cheaper (it was free) then pinball at the bowling alley. from there it was a short path to PL/1 and ALGOL (heck they just LEFT those manuals around! If they didn't expect us to learn it they should have locked them up). That lead later to Pascal and Basic, Assemblers, some other obscurities and...Perl is fun these days..
Back in those benighted days where we could not learn programing, I used IBM Mainframes and minis in various flavors, PRIME, Wang, Sperry Univac, CDC "Cyber series", PDP-11s from DEC (RT-11 and RSTS; pre-Unix), and gawd-only knows how many and various peripherals and add-ons. Now I use PCs in different Linux Distros, BeOS, and some offering from a company I once knew as Traf-O-Data.. Macs from 6 to X, a Solaris or two, and this or that. Good thing this dumb liberal arts type couldn't learn programming way back int he stone age...

the elegant is: it was cheap, took limited wiring, I already have the Mac IN ANOTHER ROOM where i can spin scream fan whine and crank out all the drive heat it wants and I can sit comfortably in the parlor watching any of about FIVE HUNDRED (500) full length movies or uncounted TV shows per 200gb drive (my Mac sports 5 of these so thats over 2500 shows/movies), or off of a largish collection of CDs. -These are AVIs on CDs that is; a average movie in good DiVX format uses apx 650-700mbs which is 1 CD. TV show 300, typical Japanese fansub Anime 120-350. I can view any format from AVI to MP4 not DRMed stuff or WMV and OGG gets fussy. BUT this means that most home produced mpgs play fine which makes the grandparents happy to see the kid when they visit. Also, EyeHome shh! uses a standard software used by many other players. You can use the drivers for a few of the others and it will allow it to connect to a PC though El Gato does NOT support this feature. The EyeHome is one of the best small investments I have ever made. I am very pleased with it.
Agreed. The posted price is the price. If you purchase going in with the assumption the price (without rebate) is the actual price, then when you successfully get a rebate, it becomes an unexpected windfall. I am still awaiting one rebate (Fry's purchase) from 2 years ago, and another I gave up on. ALWAYS assume it is a scam you won't ever win. Then, in the rare case when you do get the "This is a warrant not a check", take the money like what it is: a miracle (or will be in 10 business days when it clears).
