Time has been copping out for years. They choose something simple or someone inoffensive when there are lots of people who have affected the news (for good or ill).
Or they break the entire point of the award and give it to multiple people! Weren't there four different people named "Person of the Year" last year?
I wish my memories of it were as good. I had one and it was hard to get positioned in it in a way where you didn't feel that one side was being supported more than the other. The open net was great for catching on the pocket corners of jeans. Overall they felt so unstable I was afraid to actually fall asleep in one.
In fact, that was what led to be no longer using it. I was attempting to free my ass from the hammock (where the seams of my jeans had become caught in the net, and I flipped the hammock over and dumped myself face-first on the ground. It was only a two or three foot fall, but I ended up landing on my arm funny and broke my wrist.
Yeah, I kinda saw that later on in the thread on the Google link, but not till after I had posted it. But fraud and counterfeiting are separate crimes. If someone did deface money for fraudulent uses, they would be charged under one of the two in addition to "defacing money". It may be illegal to deface money only under certain circumstances, but it is still illegal nonetheless, so the parent poster is wrong to make the blanket statement it is alright.
But in my own defense; I recently, has a sociology experiment, went shopping with uncut currency. To make the handling of the money easier I sought to have the bills perforated (yes, just like Steve Wozniak). But neither of the printers downtown would do it. Kinko's said they might be able to but the clerk said he would have to check with the D.A. first. So I walked up the street to ProPrint and they just flat-out refused, because it was money.
Perforating the bills would not have been "defacing" under any definition, as it would have left them in fine shape for circulation, and the punching would have occured on lines that were normally cut anyway. So I wasn't marking or cutting any part of the actual bills, just the borders between them. It may not be an actual legal issue, but the chilling effect can be just as restrictive.
Not to mention all the "beings of pure energy", but hey, who am I to argue the consistency of Star Trek:-)
No no, remember? That was covered in an episode. There was a humanoid alien who was a refugee from his home world because he was exhibiting signs of this strange illness and so the government was trying to kill him before he could "infect anyone else". They were rather Cradassian-like in appearance if I remember right. Anyway, he's picked up in his damaged ship by the Enterprise, befriends Troy, and when the military from his home world comes looking for him, the Federation protects him and the "illness" is able to complete through to it's end, which in this case is the evolving into an energy-based being.
The government was executing citizens showing signs of the change either out of fear or to maintain power for awhile longer before the entire species evolved.
So it can be argued all the energy-based life forms were at one time humanoid and simply evolved into their current form.
How is a password from sample A more secure than sample B when BOTH sample A and B's passwords were compromised?
They were both compromised by social engineering. Which allows us to see the passwords people are choosing and find that corporate passwords are more venerable to brute force attacks.
Uh, yeah. I get the dumb joke. The point is the original poster asked why after 30 comments no one had questioned the blogger being named "Mike Hunt". The reason was, because the blogger WASN'T named Mike Hunt.
Yes, that entirely explains the level of wages in the retail sector. If the group you have starts demanding higher wages, most companies look for a different group with lower expectations. Hence the workforce will begin to be made up of less skilled individuals, those with poor attendance/performance ethics, and people in areas where the job is more likely to attract a larger base of applicants (like overseas) due to local economic factors.
What can be done? Provide risk-free 30 day trial period...
Most carriers already do provide trial periods were the consumer and get out w/o early termination fees, as contract lock-in to lousy service has been an issue for years and lawmakers have already acted on it. The length of time varies between carriers, though.
After everyone realizes "Hey, they can just go get a free yahoo address and work around this system.", the idiots will try and force EVERYONE to register their email address and all companies that provide email address's will have to remove any address that is not associated with a real life person.
Don't forget those new warrantless wiretapping powers the executive branch had passed in Congress just before the elections. Who needs AT&T to snoop packets when you can just call Yahoo?
Also: Yeah right, like I'm going to trust a major media conglomerate to not do anything commercial with a list of everyone's valid email address.

Can you imagine the aesthetic appearance of a chandler with eight compact fluorescents in it?

In Soviet Russia, the Internets choose YOU.

In Soviet Russia, phone looks for YOU!

Never felt the urge to lay in a hammock again.

So I guess they're really going to "Rev up" the RPM's?

Hey sexy mama, wanna kill all humans?
Um, yes it is.
Gah! Well I, for one, do NOT welcome our zombie composer overlords!
Uh, yeah. I get the dumb joke. The point is the original poster asked why after 30 comments no one had questioned the blogger being named "Mike Hunt". The reason was, because the blogger WASN'T named Mike Hunt.
Do you 'get it now'?
Not right now, we're busy trying to view a blog by Dean Hunt. Since he's the topic of this Slashdot story.
Well, dolphins are mammals.
They're posting the topic once for each eye.
That would require fan-fold paper which is hard to come by it seems now.

Well, he did avoid the joke that he has trouble sleeping as well with Vista installed.
So wait, is Microsoft supposed to be the young fit men hunting ghosts or the large, bloated Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man that's unhealthy for the public?
