It's pretty much like the speed limit, one can argue all day that doing 70mph is as safe as 60mph, but if the law is passed, and the limit is set at 60mph, everybody just have to slow down even your "common sense" says otherwise.
Next up is presence integration with CareerBuilder's online recruiting Web site. Job seekers can now register their AIM Screen Name with their resume to provide prospective employers with a real-time connection. A user's online status will be indicated by the Running Man icon.
Whatever you do, just make sure you change your screen name once you got the job, your new boss may be checking out your running man while you're supposed to be working.
The campaign to save the show is headed by Trekkie Tim Brazeal. Brazeal, 42, is galvanizing thousands of fans worldwide to collect $32 million to pay for the cost of a fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise.
The contributed money is transferred to a secure account set up at ORNL Federal Credit Union which only multiple trustees can access.
Looks like they have things covered, no? After all, $32 million is not $32,000
One of our developers buried some easter eggs in a web-based game, and nobody has claimed them yet after several months.
And the kicker is, players do talk about strange "bugs", even ask us to fix them, but none of them actually goes so far as to discover those eggs. Maybe they will now after reading this post:)
So I gather some of the 3000 users may have read the EULA but dismissed the possibility of real cash prize., just like not everybody entered suparmarket prize draw thinking that they won't be so lucky.
There are enough people who will give away plain-text password unsuspiciously over the phone or internet.
My bank (and probably many others) will block an account after three consecutive failed authentication, so any guesswork is going to be hard for the bad guys.
Maybe Blizzard just never expected anyone to RTFEULA.
3B. You may permanently transfer ownership of the Game and all parts thereof, and all of your rights and obligations under the License Agreement, to another by physically transferring the CD-ROM, all original packaging, and all Manuals or other documentation associated with the Game, and by removing from all of your home or personal computers and destroying any remaining materials concerning the Game in your possession or control, provided the recipient agrees to the terms of this License Agreement. The transferor (i.e., you), and not the Licensor, agrees to be solely responsible for any taxes, fees, charges, duties, withholdings, assessments, and the like, together with any interest, penalties, and additions imposed in connection with such transfer.
It appears that you can indeed sell your game, provided you removed anything related to the game, which I think, includes the deactivation of the Authentication Key by the seller, maybe they haven't created the Deactivation Section yet:)
Legality aside, is TTG another thing that media publishers have to worry about in the future? First it was MP3 downloads, then came the movie downloads, now this TV downloads?
It reminds me of Futurama, since it was usually scheduled to be interrupted or pre-empted by the football, fans have to resort to downloading from the internet, and Fox was sending C&D letters left right and centre.
Now that people can pre-record these TV shows, edit out advertisement and "potentially" share them illegally over the internet on P2P network (there you go, I have used all "keywords" in one sentence), I'm sure companies will starting complaining about lost sales in DVDs/Ad placements.

"WARNING: WE HAVE NOT CONDUCTED A FELONY-CONVICTION SEARCH OR FBI SEARCH ON THIS INDIVIDUAL." Who would want to set up a date after reading that?
If Slashdot put up "WARNING: WE HAVE NOT CHECK IF THIS ARTICLE IS A DUPE", I'm sure we will still be happily reading and discussing it.
If you accidentally shot the biggest guy in the school, chances are the message has been (mis)read before you pull out your reader.

Maybe the memory is still lingering?
But seriously, is $30 million enough for such lawsuit? Didn't we just read that a session of 'Trek costs $32 million??

Yes, it's running at a superior bitrate of 2Gbit/s, I played it on my 6+1 and it was flawless.
If I were to make my own MP3 silent tune of exactly the same length and put it online, would I be infringing their copyright?
YES! If you market a "8 Minute Abs" program, you'll be in trouble, but "7 Minute Abs" is probably okay, and BETTER!
Why not use Faraday's Principle of Induction like these LED torches or a windup charger? Both are independent of external factors.
Hanging out your phone from a car, bus or (shock!) train is pretty dangerous stuff, maybe superman will find this thing handy.
I hope they haven't patented this technology yet, 'cos I'm rolling out my air-powered fan next month.

Intel needs to start using this kind of marketing - pushes out a 10GHz CPU and claims users might not notice any performance improvement.
Meanwhile, people may try this trick to hack expiry date on ink cartridges, which might have been proven to work.
Do these cartridges have expiry date printed on them?
Just play as a guest then.

When Google first got started in the Yahoo-era, I also wrote an editorial about how little result Google gave back in 1999, I almost gave up on it.
From the friendly article:
Subject: computer-go: 5x5 Go is solved
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2002 15:27:04 -0100
From: Erik van der Werf
To: COMPUTER GO MAILING LIST
The fact that an editor would even consider this a newsworthy article is itself a remarkable testament to the site's simplicity.
Funny how the stock market crashed the day before 5X5 Go is solved.
Has Apple received extra PR attention? Yes.
Has Apple made it clear that it can and will do what it takes to suppress any leaks? Yes.
Apple is a profitable company, it doesn't need lawsuits to stay in business, cetainly not chasing its own tail or shooting in the dark lawsuits.
Top seller will always be MakeLove Magazine though.
Due to high demand, this company has no other option but to pull out from this school charity.
But seriously, businesses rarely do things for free, and it's unlikely any one would offer free services in exchange of bad PR.
If ancient life can be discovered under Antarctic ice, nothing is unpossible.
Given our accessibility and coverage on earth, we didn't know about this ancient life until recently.
And now we only have few rovers on Mars...

Finally a true iPod killer that can also be used as mobile phone.
Creative must be kicking itself now.
Who gave DVD-CCA mod points?!?!
