I wish I still had a copy of it... a guy in my high school's computer club was a security buff, and prefaced all his "questionable" emails with a disclaimer that went something like this:
By reading beyond the italicized section and/or decrypting the ROT13 encoded content below, you agree that you are not an administrator or tech-help employee at [school name], nor will you forward this email to said persons or otherwise inform them of its content except with my explicit written permission. You further acknowledge that while the use of this knowledge may be illegal or against school rules, such use is not my responsibility, and the dissemination of this knowledge is an exercise of my First Amendment rights.
He then put the rest in ROT13. What made it even funnier was that he signed his name in his non-ROT13'd email and on IRC as ROT13(his_name), so his full legal name showed up in plaintext in the email.
And the whole point of small claims is that they can't spend an obscene amount defending themselves, just as you can't afford to spend an obscene amount suing them.
SO... WHEN DOES ZIMBABWE TAKE OVER NIGERIA? I THINK I'LL START A FUND TO COLLECT MONEY TO HIRE MERCENARIES TO HELP THEM WITH THE INVASION. TO HELP ME OUT, I'LL NEED A CC# OR BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION POSTED IN THIS THREAD.
HELP STAMP OUT NIGERIAN SCAMS - AND ALL THE LOOT FROM THE NIGERIAN TREASURY WILL BE SENT TO THOSE WHO POST HERE!

To stock up on DRM incompatible CD burners. If the CD works with 'em, copy protection is gone. If it doesn't, I'll sue 'em for labeling non-CDs as CDs - in small claims court. Small claims court protects the little guy from having a huge company's big guns brought to bear, but imagine the/. effect applied here - even less than $500 judgements could become costly.
Im English, "Bestecken" sind "silverware". Also "flatware", but that is less common. And, yes, "silverware" applies to plastic fork/knife/spoon combos as well.
"Place setting" or "table setting" are also relatively common, with the minor difference that they also include plates, cups, and bowls.
Should be easy to challenge. Not just on prior art, but on the grounds that if it works so @%#&_* well, why is my inbox so )^@%^&* full after using their software?
Number one: yes, they *recommend* Dell or Apple. Why not? It's not a requirement, and for folks who don't care what they have, it's advice that'll help them get better support from the college help desk.
Number two: yes, $200+ for the adapter is pricey. But split it with your roommate and it becomes $100. Sell it (jointly) to the next sucker in your room, and you only spend maybe $20 each on it. Or do what I'd do: screw wired and go with 802.11g, which is campus wide anyway. On those few occasions you're d'ling a distro or whatever, go down to the computer labs and jack into their ethernet, or borrow an extra port on a friend's adapter.
Um... you can do a samba share with NTFS. I am. No need for Lin4Win. And L4W would be a perf. hit anyway. It'd probably be better (if you couldn't do it with NTFS) to have a separate FAT32 partition and transfer stuff in and out. But that's inefficient.
Almost forgot - you can get wireless ones, or if you find a wired pair you like, a wireless "extension cord" that clips to your belt, with a base station on your desk.
I noticed you complained that they're uncomfortable. Be prepared to spend some money ($150 at most) on some really nice ones (maybe try 'em at the Bose store first?) or use earbuds, which are really comfortable. Earbuds also come out quick, too - just yank the cords where they come together, no need to do 'em one at a time.
-nice headphones, so they're comfortable
-get 'em with a boom mic so you can talk on the phone with 'em
-get a two-way splitter so you can quickly switch between multiple inputs
-if your phone doesn't have a 1/8" input, you can get a converter that goes from 1/8" to telephone cord (RJ-whatever)
-have a monkey mirror (from Thinkgeek) on your monitor, so you can see when folks are behind you
This'll also make you more productive, as "idiot questions" and "gossip" will go away (more of a barrier to entry).
BTW, if your concern is that you wear hearing aids, like me, and the monitor interferes with the telecoil, ask your audiologist about a DAO cord - it'll plug directly into your aid from a walkman/computer jack. Beautiful sound fidelity, too. I haven't seen one with a boom mic, for obvious reasons, but you could get a mic on your desk and probably find a mixer somewhere (for the phone).
I use two computers. My Windows box, which is used by me for games, and by my family for games, MS Office, email, and the internet, could easily be converted to a subscription (and then maybe I wouldn't have to deal with as much spyware crap, or bemoaning the fact that it's barely enough to play Far Cry on).
My FC1 box, OTOH, is for tinkering. Both hardware and software. The whole point of owning it is that no one's holding my hand, fixing it, or setting it up for me. That will never be anything more than a box built with my own two hands out of parts I bought or found lying in a dumpster.
I thought this was going to be something cool, like that B.S. crap from Swordfish. (No, not H.B.'s boobs). Then I saw this, and it looks like B.S. crap, but not *cool* B.S. crap. Dammit! When do we, the non-gamers of the world, get some cool 3D graphics?
This is the grudge match of the century. And, in the left corner! RMS! (cheers) And in the right corner! Mr. Brown! And you know where he got that name, right wrestling fans? (boo! boo!)
Or action figures maybe.

But then it'll be possible to block, for example, *@doubleclick.com. Or block anything with "ADV:" in the subject. Or IP addresses. Or... you get the idea.
People didn't like the name "CAN-SPAM", but all in all I think it's good. Once it's legal, you can regulate it.
I don't know if the awards are given with this in mind, but wouldn't it make sense as a way of attracting attention (possibly financial, more likely volunteer/coder) to a project that's still developing, like PearPC?
Episode (Netscape) IV. This is Eps. 1-3. The Phantom Menace is Longhorn (since no one knows what it is yet), The Attack of the Clones is Mozilla/Firebird/Firefox/Camino, and Episode Three? We'll just have to see.
Except, NYT doesn't pay by the search - they have an unlimited subscription. Still doesn't make it right, but he didn't cost them $300,000. Don't blow things out of proportion and lie when you don't need to; even though you're right, you'll lose credibility and look like an asshole. That's how OJ Simpson got off.

Yeah, I moved into your basement and interacted with yo momma all night long. She liked it, too.

Why isn't it on freecache? This kind of thing is exactly why they exist.
On another note, will I still get carsick at Mach 9?

How about a Samba share? On either the 'nix or the XP box - or even on a 3rd file server of some sort? Or you could use SCP or SFTP.
Granted, I realize then you're copying stuff back and forth. But it seems to be the least buggy, most reliable solution.

Headphones, but here's the thing:

Wrong ... stdio.h is deprecated (at least with modern compilers), he wants stdio.
And the whole point of calling main rather than exit(0); or return 0; is that it'll loop forever. Duh!
If they downsize, you'll get a severance package. Maybe not a golden parachute, but at least it's something.
If you give them "just cause" to fire you, you've got nothing.
