Have you been living under a rock the past 5 years? Sex sells! And if you live in any place other than the US you would probably already know that as they have more racy stuff on national television than most men's magazines can have. Plus, most of these magazines also offer a lot of insight into women, in fact just as much info that a women's Bible "Cosmo" would let into on a man.
I remember when they first started, they became so popular because of their subscription price. They used to start at $11/year! That's what got me hooked. Since then they have jacked up the price a bit.. but still affordable that I don't mind it that much.
I have been a subscribing member of Maxim ever since they first starting printing. I think I might actually have issue #1 laying around somewhere. As of late, though, I have grown fond of FHM, a more racy magazine that pretty much borders between Playboy and Maxim. Oh, and... I can't really comment on the informative and technical accuracy of what I read because well... I don't read them:)
The ones that I do like to read are most of the men's fitness/health magazines. My all-time favorite is Mens Health though. They seem to be very accurate on alot of things and I still haven't seen it matched by the myriad of other ones that are out there.
"Edward Scissorhands was one of many readers to link to the Globe and Mail's article, too."
My goodness, how does he type? Must be why we couldn't just accept the story he submitted. Probably had words mispelled and everything... we understand.
Right.. I'm guessing this is just going to make it easier for the the plug-in companies to make plug-ins for the smaller browsers. Instead of making a plug-in for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.. They only need to make one two now. One for all of those and another for IE. As you said, they arent going to stop making one for IE... i mean.. 70%+ dominance is a pretty big number:)
... you are preaching to the choir here? I mean, there are atleast a few Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird stories on here a week! We all know what it is! Rather than preach your comments about switching here, instead, preach to your parents and friends that still might use IE. Send them news stories for them to read. Unfortuntely, it takes a real experience for them to have a change of heart. Don't let that happen!
I would imagine it's because it would be a lot easier to weed through the sites you want rather than every SLL-enabled URL out there. This way he knows what passwords and from what sites hes getting.
There's not much to it... It is basically one of those sites that you would find after clicking on a popup that says "YOU HAVE SPYWARE ON YOUR MACHINE". With that said... It tells you to click here to download, then re-directs you to the following link:
Would anyone agree with me that this was probably one of the first pieces of hoax (or even spam) mail in general? Perhaps the first was the pyramid scheme... Send $5 to the 5 names on this list, then put your name at the top, remove that last entry, and send it to 5 of your friends.
This is actually a very well written Wired article. It's interesting to note that it only took him a little bit of research (or so it seems by the article) to find this guy. All he had to do was find the original hoax email, and the guys name was the first on the list! This is what started it all, and every single revision one could think of. It went from Email, to Instant Messaging, people have even started recieving them on their SMS-enabled phones as well. It's amazing to think that there are actually people who still believe this stuff... and it still continues on...amazing.. well atleast amusing to say the least.
You're right. But the Internet has made porn a lot more accessible than digging around in daddy's stash. Porn has and will be around forever, but rather than pass laws like this, there has to be some responsibility put on the parents here.
It's not like there isn't a way to protect kids from viewing it growing up. There are just tons of different pieces of software out there to help you with that. All it takes is having the right parents that care about what their kids view on the Internet and take the time to set something like that up.
I can't answer for the thickness of the rings, but it was mentioned in a few of the articles that NASA is trying to stay as far away from the rings as possible. The closest approach will be from above the rings and the rest of the photographs will be taken from the top of the rings. Other than that, they consider them a collision hazard...
This will become the main site for the MeshCube OpenSource distribution. (Until we have set up our webshop at http://www.meshcube.com, we also abuse the domain meshcube.org for hosting our order form.)
The MeshCube is a new hardware platform dedicated to WirelessLAN mesh routing, developed by [http://www.4g-systems.biz 4G Systems, Hamburg]. With a 400MHz ["MIPS"] processor, 64MB RAM and 32MB flash, and up to 8 MiniPCI cards, it is powerful enough to provide excellent security and encryption, and flexible enough for custom applications and modifications. See http://meshcube.org/english/specs.html or HardwareSpecs for more details about the hardware.
The MeshCubeDistribution is the Linux distribution running on the MeshCube. Its main features are MeshRouting, autoconfiguration of networking, an emphasis on security (IpSec, VPN), and a compact design (to fit on the 32MB flash). It is completely licensed under the GPL and will be developed here in our CVS in true Open Source manner. We happily accept patches and additions, but please be patient -- it takes some time to evaluate patches and import sources into CVS.
We have set up several mailing lists for communication related to the project. Please subscribe here.
We've also set up a Bugzilla (bug tracking system); please use it to report any bugs you may encounter.
There is a feed of packages you can use to install new software on your cube and to update your installation. See HowTo/InstallPackages for instructions.
This wiki is free to edit for anyone and currently divided into four sections: HowTo, MeshRouting, HardWare and SoftWare.
"Especially for communities we offer the meshcube as a kit which can easily be assembled. Prices start at 199,90 EUR. The kit comes without antennas to allow highest flexibility to the lowest possible price."
= $241.98
"For those who want to start meshing right away this true linux-device can also be ordered readily assembled - prices starting at 239,90 EUR."
Thank you for correcting the story. I wouldn't have been able to tell you were a Windows hater by your email address of billg@fuckmicrosoft.com, but your text interjections about Windows (in bold I might add) to the story totally gave it away. Thanks!
If that's the case, just wait until someone comes along and open them. Microsoft will be the single biggest software corpora... err wait a second.
In all seriousness though, they are actually starting to open their eyes now and realizing that security is going to play a huge role in their continued success to develop software. I think they will still continue to be on top so long as they can evolve. So far they are beginning to... Let's look.. First was a more secure approach to computing, now they are starting to get more serious about searching techniques...
Plug the product... I would be interested to find out who is doing this type of research and looking up documentation on how it works if possible. Sounds interesting. Post as AC or something:)
Which still means that ANY highly secretive area will still be secured by a person (as is with the military). This person will know everyone that is allowed access into that area. Thus no need for a finger-printing device, then an eye scanner like in the movies. People will still do this.

You make really great points.. Glad to see some parents actually care!

Will somebody PLEASE think of the children?

What are you talking about? It's not like the entire World has ADD or some... Hey, what's that shiny thing over there?
Do you work for Microsoft?
