The reason for this is that Amazon has more of a financial incentive than the credit card company does. If the charges are fraudulent the merchant pays, not the CC company. This will have to change before we start to see the CC companies start to care.
I second this. Their website really could use some work though. The measuem has all sorts of neat stuff and a great staff that has a lot of knowledge about it.
Actualy. The Cray 3 used GaAs. There is a piece of on on display next to a full Cray 1 and full Cray 2 at the computer museum in Mountian View CA. I do beleive that only 1 Cray 3 was produced, however.
Just thought I'd let you know that it has been done.
Thank you. I wish everybody would do that. I don't care about an extra 10M of RAM or HD space. I just don't give a shit. But I don't want to fuck around for an hour dealing with install problems.
He must have consulted with a lawyer before pleading guilty. If my lawyer recommended that I plead guilty to a crime and I did and the judge rejected that because what I had done didn't violate the law I would be pretty pissed off at my lawyer. I mean, didn't he even read the law and check to make sure the prosecution had evidence that he had broken it before recommending that his client plead guilty? Or maybe he's just pissed off at spammers, too?
I don't know about the entire US but there is a minimum salary in CA. I believe you half to be making at least twice what a person working minimum would make working 40 hours per week.
As another Wells Fargo customer I too have to say that their website works flaslessly with Mozilla/Firefox. As a matter of fact I've never used any other browsers to access that sight.
If memory serves their site was designed, at least in part, by Eric Meyer who is a proponent of web standards. He's also the auther of the O'Reilly book on CSS.
I'm all for slamming a bank that will only allow online access by IE but at least get your facts straight if you're going to do it.
To me the really good forgers make a mockery of the entire "art crowd" for showing it to be the farce that it is. I mean, if you can't tell the difference between the forgers piece and Picasso's then really, whats the difference? If the foremost experts in the field can't tell the difference the forger's work is just as good. The only difference is branding. Amazing that people will pay hundreds of millions for that.
"Here's an unusual photo of the event - unusual because the time display shows the time in fractional MJD (Modified Julian Date). The date is 2002 20/02 and the time shows 20:02:20 UTC which is noon here in Seattle:
Although the 2002 20/02 20:02 is a triple palindrome observe that MJD 52325 is also a palindrome. Perhaps we should have celebrated at the double palindrome MJD 52325.52325 (which was earlier this morning at 12:33:29 UTC)."
After reading that I was horified thinking that this man was unstoppable, that there would be no end. Thankfuly I then read the following:
"he 1PPS output from the Trak 6460 could be used to generate a pulse at 22.002 milliseconds past 20:02:20 creating a quintuple palindrome 2002 20/02 20:02:20.02 2002 -- but even I have my limits."
And I feel so much safer that even he knows he has limits.:)
On a more serious note...on the page with the atomic wristwatch it says that the atomic clock comes with a keypad to set the time. My question is how the hell do you set the time that accurately with a keypad. I'm mean, how fast can you hit the button?
"it will ultimately mean less money for Mary or John or Fred."
Not unless the record company goes out of business. Mary, John and Fred are basicly commodities and are going to make the same piddling amount no matter how much the company makes.
I don't know Wal-Marts set up but it might be possible that that is the optimal solution. I've been to chemical plants that have their own fire departments and EMT teams. Maybe the major Wal-Mart home offices et al have their own response teams so if you dial 911 you have an EMT there in 2 minutes instead of waiting 10 for one to get through traffic. I'm not say for sure that thats the case but it is a definite possibility. If not that delay is just inviting a lawsuit.
"They can't seem to be able to wrap their brains arround the fact that a community developed web browser could ever be better than what the mighty Microsoft has produced."
Hell, I still can't understand how a community did that, and I've been a Mozilla user for a very long time. IE is an important part of Microsofts lockin. If people become less reliant on IE they become less reliant and less likely to use MS products. MS has billions and billions of dollars available to hire more developers. Is there any reason such a company shouldn't be consistently producing the very best software in the world? I think its amazing the Firefox is so much better than what MS produces. Three cheers for the Moz developers!
But as it currently stands the president doesn't listen to issues of those living in San Franscisco at all, just those of people living in Montanna, Wyoming, etc.
I mean, I doubt many people in San Fran would actualy agree that George Bush represents them. I mean, lets look at two of the most populous states in the Union CA and NY. Economic powerhouses. How is it that there votes count for so much less than some guy in Wyoming.
Like back in the day the vote of a black man was worth 3/5ths as much as a white mans and everbody agrees that that was wrong. Now the vote of a Californian is worth 1/12 as much as the vote of a Wyoming (sp?) and thats perfectly okay because we want their views to count for more than ours because?

I think so. If they said something that wasn't true to a potential employer I'd say thats a defamation or libel suit right there.
