Really. I called in and my experience was the same as yours up to "if they found it interesting they would call me back". They didn't tell me the call would be scripted or researched. Why the heck would they tell the caller if they did that? I really don't think that they have an obligation to disclose and would have nothing to gain by it. You sure you're talking about Cartalk here?
Right on with the amount of ads we are exposed to!
Tell you what, Fox. Take all of those bugs off the screen when the show is running and we will consider watching an ad or two. I'd bet that putting those bugs on top of programming is way closer to a copyright violation than an ad skipper.
Interesting that you make out the US to be the governing authority for Cuban computer purchases. Cuba can purchase the same computers you can purchase in the US, just not from the US. I don't know how accessible the Internet is outside the resorts, but it has certainly been available in the resorts for at least a few years now. Very slow and expensive a few years ago but indeed there.
I guess they make exceptions for those with hard currency to leave behind, but this is a communist government and the Internet truly is the opiate of the masses... not to be trusted. Can you imagine the reaction these cats had when they were briefed about how easy it is for a PC to use ssl/ssh and how much privacy it affords the user? There is a big difference between developing countries and developing communist countries, as I'm sure Mr. Gross is currently aware.
"Banned" Nikon D40 DSLR 6.1megapixel Standard 18-55mm zoom lens
"Legal" Nikon P7000 digital camera 10.1 megapixel 28-200mm zoom lens
Both cameras feature an "automatic" setting that allows the camera to take great pictures. The legal one looks much less conspicuous and doesn't have to be held at your eye to take a photo.
Read the article again and substitute anthrax for peanuts. For those of us with a peanut allergy, there is little difference. "ONE passenger has ONE incident with anthrax and we want to ban it"... If anyone wants to make an informed decision about this, this will help. The specific problem with peanuts, as opposed to strawberries or shrimp, is the "dust". Just look at the tiny stuff at the bottom of the peanut bag. With such a high density of peanut snacks being popped open up at pretty much the same time it can be overwhelming and I too have been affected by it. One or two people eating a bag of peanuts wouldn't be a bad thing but serving peanuts is carpet bombing us. The "great ventilation" works against us as is stirs more of this dust than it removes. I have had a couple of occasions where I had to ask (read as tell) the flight attendants that I was heading to the back to sit in their jump seats after peanuts had been served. I haven't been on a flight in decades where peanuts were served, I thought they ALL realized that pretzels were just as acceptable as peanuts.
If Air Canada is short sighted enough to serve peanuts to all the passengers then they should be required to build the industry's only buffer zone.
In further news, a source inside the Pentagon reports that 17 pencils have been reported missing over the last three months. "These are critical communication devices, built to mil spec standards. They have the potential to inflict injury to an untrained operator. The Pentagon takes these communications security breaches quite seriously, and we will be looking for further funding to study this National Vulnerability."
Darn right! Just like it is when I choose not to look up at billboards while I'm driving. Many counts of theft every day, when I stare at the car in front of me while waiting for the traffic to clear up.
Exactly. Code is code and it will run as coded. He cannot prove that the code caused a bad reading unless he proves that it always provides bad readings.
I would think that going after the hardware between the tube and the first chip would be a better defense. Ask the manufacturer for the bell curve for MTBF on the sensor stuff. Go after their QC records.
Well, that's probably been done in the past and lawboy is just looking for a new angle. He's in for a tough ride if the software is something called OpenBREATHALYZER.
I agree, I've heard the stories and I have managed to keep Vista out of our shop thus far. XP is steady, familiar and holds up well in the business environment unless you are loony enough to put a public IP on it.
I guess this new sales push is revealing MS's new marketing strategy: "We're not happy until you're not happy."
Bullocks! Real men freebase coffee. The adrenaline rush of knowing that this process may result in severe personal injury amplifies the effect of the caffeine.
A good point, but where does the law even fit into this? Having a psychotic break isn't illegal. If he did snap, then wouldn't he be considered unfit to face the charges? You don't defend society by jailing an essay writer, you do it by getting a psychiatric evaluation on someone that you have reason to believe will crack. If they are troubled, get them help.
The teachers did the right thing by being cautious and that shouldn't be discouraged. Perhaps some refining of the "what to do when we think we have a problem kid" procedure would be beneficial.
I guess Kurt's estate will not be able to sue big tobacco because smoking didn't kill him as all the packages had promised.
Look up "Nice, nice, very nice" by Ambrosia. The song is described in Cat's Cradle as being one of the Bokononist chants. Ambrosia read the description of the song and wrote it.
It's working for me in southern Ontario. I'm an early riser and I there were no extra lights turned on this morning as compared to Friday morning. The office light, the bathroom light & fan, as well as the bedroom lights do not see any less use in summer mornings than they do in the winter. The only light affected by all of this is the kitchen light. For the evening routine, there will be more lights that are delayed by an hour than the kitchen light that was extended by an hour. Think of exterior lights too. They are timed to come on in the evening but don't come on in the morning. So far, so good.
It just doesn't matter. The Chinese are taking over the pirate business at a dizzying pace. Retailers of pirated material are pressuring the wholesalers to have the movies recorded and burned in China. It turns out that they can be unloaded in Vancouver and shipped east for less than what even the most efficient Montreal pirate can do it for. Yeah, that's the downside of globalization.
TFA states that one thing they are trying to deter is "fraudulent credit card transactions". All the best to them. We have lost thousands to this. When we can get the attention of the police, they have found "unsuspecting grannies" with wide open networks at the IP the fraud order came from.
They can better spend time trying to prevent the crime rather than spend time hearing me whine.
This is fraudulent fraud. Everyone knows that authentic fraud IS SENT IN CAPS TO LET YOU KNOW IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. I wonder if this means that VoIP fraud will be done with yelling?
Yeah, you can slam any mailbox along the way. What makes a difference is if you can get way up the chain and waste the boss's time and you can't do that if you fry the catcher's account. He will usually bcc all his "jobs" to another account for a backup anyway.
These cats are used to having mailboxes shut down because of complaints, and they plan for that event. Having it shut down or having it flooded is pretty much the same thing.
Baiters usually have as many excuses as to why the money isn't in their hands as scammers have lies. Well... close. Kinda.
They may come to pay you a visit if they know who and where you are. The number one rule in baiting is NO PERSONAL DATA! This is easy to do with a gmail account, but they will probably want to phone you at some point. Using an IP phone or a cash & carry cell phone work well.
Nothing much would happen. We (419 baiters) have written bots to do this. Put in the email address, and it floods the mail box over a week or so.
The problem is that (as mentioned in the article) the "catchers" send out the emails, and pass responses to the "guymen". We see that early in the bait when Mrs. Abacha tells you that evil forces have taken over her email account, and you should now use a different one.
When the catcher finds all of the bot's replies in the account, he burns it and starts another email account for the next batch. There may be a couple of qualified leads in there, but it isn't worth his time to try and figure it out.
Time is money for the scammers too.
I have snort running with BASE, for a nice NID management setup. Without the rules, not much will happen.
There are currently three levels of access to rules, as seen at http://www.snort.org/rules/
1. Anyone can get the rule set that is released with the latest version. 2. People who pay the big bucks ($1,795/year) can get updated rule sets as soon as they are released. 3. A third level sits in the middle; where if you register with sourcefire you can get the updated rules five days after they are released to the premium members.
Martin, I am sure that "Check Point is very excited about continuing Sourcefire's involvement with the open source community!". I hope that doesn't mean that they are excited about getting fees for any and all rules from the open source community.
Big entertainment has put out some crappy movies of late, as the suits and not the creative folks are running the show. The MBA types all want a product that will return money, and damn the content. Entertainment doesn't work like that. Put some good ideas on the screen and some of them will make you rich.
But I digress. The MBAs are not making the wads of cash they expect. So, let's find some other source.
Bob: "How can we get more cashola?"
Darl: "Well, we can sue the mother of a copyright breaker"
Bob: "We tried that, got some bad publicity... not that it matters to us."
Darl: "Then sue the kid! Really! Just because the product you offer isn't appealing to anyone doesn't mean that you can't try to McBride the cash. If they don't want to pay up at the box office, they can pay us in the court room!"

No, I've never met the Vice President but I'm sure that he is aware of this situation.
