Indeed. When Microsoft launched their Virtual Earth 3D Beta I started a new tag "makincopies" because it was obviously just an imitation of Google Earth. And in no big surpise to me, I now have another article to tag.
If these files start showing up on P2P lists, what does that say about us all?
That we really don't practice what we preach? In other words, people aren't as religious as they claim themselves to be. Which isn't breaking news. Studying actual church attendance statistics will tell you as much.
The study would have been more meaningful if it hadn't conflated spam blocking with ad blocking.
Are they not both advertisements customers don't wish to receive? And it's hard to argue website flash ads aren't as intrusive as advertising in my Inbox. As are the ads on TV shows that come over the speakers at twice the volume as the actual program.
Spam originated on Usenet, so to say that spam has to be sent solely via email is absurd.
Well I, for one, welcome our new fitness-minded overlords! They're stringent new regime of monitored exercise will reduce the proportion of obesity in the population and lower heart disease in this country.
You could call the White House with Prez Bush's SS#, etc, but they still would not give you the codes to the nukes (well, hopefully, you never know with that crowd...:(
Oh we don't need to call them for that. The code may still be 00000000.
My problem with the term "social engineering" is it implies a certain amount of gullibility on the part of the victim.
Lets say a person calls a customer service line, and identifies themselves with the phone number, name, and address of the account holder and then proceed to gather billing and service information about the actual customer. This information is all that was required to gain the account access (and for most cableco's this is all that is required). The represenetive has no way of verifying if the male voice on the phone is really Mr. Johnson or some other guy. All the info required can be found in a local white pages. They did not give information through any fault of their own job performance, nor was account access gained through any lack of intelligence in the rep. The only reason information access was granted was the lack of any real authentication method to identify the customer. A policy the actual rep has no control over. They simply took the info they were given and plugged it in.
They're going to need a longer cord between the two controller sections if I'f going to stetch my arms out like an airplane. (BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Neeeeeeeuuuuuooooooorrrrrrrrrrraaaaaa!)
Don't forget Tom Clancy's new PC strategy title "Black Like Me". An elite team must infiltrate enemy territory to collect intelligence and defeat a tyrannical ruling clan.
I am happy to see an incumbent Bell losing business though. But one other thing astounds me. Right now for digital cable and HSI with Cox I pay $114 a month. Phoenix gets phone thrown in for $99 a month? WTF!
That would just be regional pricing differences. I know people like to think of the economy as a single, national element, but it's more local than that. People in more affluent areas of the country will pay more for the same services as people in less affluent areas. The company I work for charges $45 to install a new cable outlet in Arcadia, CA (a suburb of Los Angeles) but only $19.95 in Denver, CO.
Interesting twist on this, you'll see higher penetration of premium video services in less affluent - we'll just call them what they from now on - poor areas than in the higher income regions. For example, I know of a small, rural region of Indiana were lots of people subscribe to HDTV. Logic would tell you that the numbers should be lower, fewer people can afford to spend the high cost of an HD set, but in this case the passive form of entertainment is very popular in "the sticks" so the populace, despite their lower wages, pays the cost. Due to regional market pricing, these same people pay less per month for HD than people in lower NY-state regions that are home to many more wealthy individuals, not enough to make the HD as cheap as basic, of course, but still: lower.
I could quit my job here, start commuting to Kansas City (about 40 miles away), and do the same job with a different company and make $3 more an hour. It's not because the companies over there are super generous, it's economic differences between us and them. The result is, as you've guessed, "bedroom communities"; small cities and suburbs that become home to people who commute to work in other cities nearby. I don't because I don't want to spend all that time driving (plus, if your car ever breaks down, you'll have a hard time keeping your job).
This summary contradicts itself. How is this an example of "the government realizing that the public are the ones that vote 'em in or out" when there were "surveys said that the public supports extending copyright" and Parliament then did not extend copyright to 95 years?

Yeah, except they don't see the black cat repeat. They just hear the same meow twice.

Don't they still hold the rights to the lyrics themselves?
Geez, can we not mix up our terminology like we're a bunch of noobs? Does Windows require quite a bit more memory? Or hard drive space?
So should the lesson here be to "RELAX if you have MONO"?
Here's how you'll look wearing them.
He's giving you the authentic Microsoft feel by producing an article that matches the quality level of the operating system it describes!
But he claims credit for the whole thing. He must be the PM.
I'm so used to seeing the phrase "not ready" after the word "Vista" I had to read the headline twice to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding the story.

What is this "social network" you speak of?
Do I have to own a Zune to use it?
Pilotwings for Wii?

How about we just call it a "phone"?
Since for so many people its the only one they have anyway.
I know that description is correct, but it just reads really funny.

Yes, but the chances of your data being intercepted in transmission are much higher.
You forgot the upheaval to make security a top priority.
You're right. You should ask for your money back!
It's so black if they had it 60 years ago you'd have to buy it in a separate store from the regular metals.
