That is not at all how it should be, if you buy their product you should be able to hack it in any way you want or do anything with it short of making money directly off of it, or breaking some of the more concrete laws
Gmail is not even a year old. The point is that you can store a lot of mail and never have to delete. At this stage most users boxes are probaly at 5-15% if they use them regulary. I use mine every once in a while and I am at 6%
I don't know what the age of these 'children' you are talking about, but when I was 13/14/15 (currently 16) my mom wouldn't let me by those violent games (even the T ones.) Maybe it was because I have a younger brother, but who knows.
I eventually just gave up convincing her to let me have them and when I was 14 or so I rode my bike to a store that didn't care and I could buy all the M games and R movies that I wanted. I was 5'10" - 6' during that time so most of the time even the companies that have policies agaisnt that weren't suspicious. Sometimes tellers would ask me for a drivers license, but I just said I "left it at home, since I have no use for carrying it" and then they asked me my birthday or some bullshit like that...
"Because they have proven themselves to be morally flexible with a deep disregard for other people? Would you hire a convicted back rober to work as a teller at your bank? If so, why?"
No, but if you ask me if I would hire him as a security consultant then I would consider it.
I'm not too knowledgeble with this stuff, but if we have the Windows version of the game, Can you make the original game work on Linux by copying over the pak files and the textures, etc?
Lance's bike is too light for the tour specs anyway, they have to add weight to make it conform. I imagine that all the necesary equipment can be stufffed inside the tubes of the frame or no? If not, the disadvantage is not in weight, but in aerodynamics
People love e-mail because it's easy and cheap. People hate spam--junk e-mail--well, because it's easy and cheap. At roughly a hundredth of a cent per message, a spammer can blast a million e-mails promoting ways to make money for a mere $100 initial investment. With such an economical advertising medium, it's hard for spammers not to recover their money. Unless, of course, they have to pay more for their trouble--a concept now being pursued at Microsoft.
Tools aimed at stemming the tide of electronic junk mail have proliferated recently, and most approaches rely on various filtering techniques. One common method is to search the subject line for certain words and such phrases as "eliminate debt" or "work from home." But those filters can also screen out legitimate e-mail that happens to contain the trigger words and can send critical e-mail unread to the "junk" folder, costing businesses dearly. That's why programmers have been looking for spam-blocking techniques that don't depend on message content.
Microsoft's concept is simple: make the sender's computer devote processor cycles to solving a mathematical problem. Incoming e-mail from an unknown sender gets delivered only once the recipient's computer verifies that a specific problem has been solved. "Computer time is money," says Cynthia Dwork, a Microsoft researcher who helped originate the idea while she was working at IBM. This cost won't overload legitimate mailers, who send only a few messages at a time, but it could be daunting for a spammer.
Over the last year, Joshua Goodman at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA, has been working on ways to implement Dwork's idea. The challenge assigned by the recipient's computer, says Goodman, might be to solve a mathematical function that uses inputs such as the sender's name, recipient's name, time, and the content of the message itself as variables. Such an operation would typically take 10 seconds of computer time, says Dwork. That would limit a computer to sending some 8,000 e-mails a day--plenty for an individual but not enough to make it worth a spammer's while. For legitimate mass e-mail such as newsletters, subscribers could create rosters of known senders whose messages would be allowed through without their having to punch the computational ticket.
A similar project called Camram is under way in the open-source software community, says coordinator Eric S. Johansson. Goodman says, "We want to drive up the cost of using e-mail--not for the ordinary user but for the spammer."
The best method I have heard by far is not one that uses actual currency, but one that uses computer time as a fee for sending an email so that it would not be profitable for spammers to send mass amounts of email. Of course that would only the backbone of it, todays techniques could also be put into place.
What would happen is that you send an email and in order to send it your computer must solve a problem for every recipient of your email that would only take a part of a second so that you wouldn't notice it, but a spammer, who must send tons of email, would. The logistics is quite difficult, but MIT's Tech Magazine has had several interesting articles on the subject.
Anyway, I can't use my cell phone in my own house, which rules out using it as a land line replacement. I can barely get decent reception in my back yard.
I'd rather not have the tether anyway.[/i]
THis is not a troll... Its TRUE... Happens all the time to me
I just recently got GSM with ATT, I had TDMA with them before, and my father had Sprint.
We are all on an ATT GSM plan now and we can't get reception anywhere. My father gets dropped calleds along the freeway on his 15 minute ride home and we can't even use out phones inside our house.
With TDMA and CDMA we NEVER had this problem...Why did we swith again? I really want my old phone back.

Just as its possible to shoot someone with a gun?
You mark who you want, and who you don't want. How hard is that?

Its free OTA
...Whateverelse I am forgetting -- all in HDTV whenever they offer programming that is HD
I get
ABC
Fox
CBS
NBC
PBS
+ A few free DirecTV channels
Send them back then!

Please mod this down!
THe Assault weapon ban does not include AK47s...
Automatic weapons have been banned since the 20's
THe AWB will allow you to buy new high cap mags and it will allow a few cosmetic features on semi auto weapons, not allow automatic rifles...
No, that is your employers network, not yours.
.11b for private network usage on the students own cable modems.
They are talking about using

I have a 40GB and its 34GB full.

I've heard some bad things about OCZ being hit or miss. Can anyone fill me in on the deal about OCZ?
Slower
Launchcast does not work in Firefox on windows either.
Simpler than I thought, its been a while since I thought through it.
Here is the article

What we need is a revised system.

Making SPAM illegal is not going to do anything.
They turned the only hard rock station in Dallas to an oldies station...
They own the 4 biggest stations:
KDGE-FM - Alternative Rock
KZPD-FM - CLassic Rock
KDMX-FM - Mix 80s/90s
KHKS-FM - Pop
Now they've changed
KEGL-FM from Hard rock to oldies
and the've for the FOX Sports station
KFXR-AM
