Alright, I'm a [casual] locksmith, so I really shouldn't tell you this, but oh well...
If you have two original keys, do the following:
Grab yourself a $12 or so transponder key from eBay.
Get someone to cut the key. Your local home depot can possibly do this - your local locksmith almost certainly can. I don't know about Wal-Mart.
Put the first original key in the ignition, turn to on. Wait 5 seconds, turn off. Very quickly insert the second original key, and turn on. Wait 10 seconds for the SKIS indicator light to flash, and a tone to be emitted. Within 60 seconds, throw in the new key, and turn it on. About 10 seconds later, a tone will sound, and the SKIS indicator stops flashing, goes solid for 3 seconds, then turns off. This means the new key is programmed.
Congratulations, you have a $12 new key rather than a couple of hundred dollars. There is a 50 cent copy solution, but it involves some serious work removing the transponder system. It's easier to just program a new key yourself.
For what it's worth, some of the owners manuals describe the above process.
Actually, after talking to a few friends of mine, sprint complains (and eventually cut you off) if you exceed 3GB/mo on their $15 plan for cell phones.
If you pay the "laptop data access" rate, they shouldn't care.
I pay $15/mo on Sprint PCS for unlimited data (treo, it would be $30 for a Windows Mobile device). I've blown through 2.7 Gigabytes (that's 1024 Kilobytes each, despite what the Hard Drive manufacturers claim). Never had any problems.
> If God didn't mean us to create life he would smite these people straight out, so we can kill that objection, BTW.
If god didn't mean for people to lie, commit adultery, and murderer, he'd just smite them too, right?
That being said, genetics is a tool. Like any tool, it can be used for good purposes, or bad purposes (ok, almost any tool - it's kind of hard to abuse a Nerf bat - I know, I've tried).
If you deny your obligation, then why should you be given the protection of your society? Why shouldn't people be allowed to do what they like to you?
Sounds good to me. Keep the other 50% of my income (what goes to the Govt after income tax, sales tax, regulatory surcharges, social security, etc.), but I have to protect myself, or pay someone else to do it for me. Heck, do like many places in the world do (or have done), and band together as a neighborhood for the common defense.
Where do I sign up?
It's hard to protect yourself when the government has a monopoly on justice. Sure, posting a warning sign and shooting tresspassers may not be the best solution, but it's a great deterrant, and results in an extremely low recivitism rate.
I bet the reason why VZW doesn't lease out tower space is either greed or the fact that they're a phenomenally stupid organizatoin in a lot of ways (like, for example, they assign public IP addresses to phones that are using the wireless internet.
As does Sprint. This is a good thing, as every so often, some people actually need to run servers (think tied devices, or IDENTD, etc. ). Sure, people can eat your bandwidth, but why would they? There's a lot of IP space out there, so why target you?
Have a closed-source player. Have it check the md5sum of the kernel and any modules. Then, have it do all communications with the PCI card in an encrypted manner.
Go ahead, modify your kernel. It's not their problem if their legal, closed source app breaks if you do. It's not a "derivative work" any more than a virus scanner or word processor is.

Just out of curiosity, have you read "The Machinery of Freedom"?
You sure about that? I thought that javascript from another host isn't trusted and because of such won't be able to modify objects on the including page. Things like cookie modification is only allowed within the domain so unless google can spoof domains they'll only modify google.com cookies.
Nope. Javascript loaded using runs in the security context of the main browser (as opposed to an iframe). document.cookie, document.write, the referer, etc. are all available.
In fact, Google AdSense already does this. They write in an iframe that passes the number of plugins you have, the mime types you support, your resolution (screen, and window), if you have java installed, and the referer for every person who comes to the site. They use document.write() to write this IFRAME. There isn't really a lot they can't do through this.
Another point is that public sites tend to be mostly informational. e.g. It would be an overkill to make the US Patent Search feature-rich with AJAX. It's a simple search and retrieval app that wouldn't gain much at all from a fancy interface. As a result, it presents something to users that is easy to use, yet not technologically sophisticated. Don't I wish? When I try to open images associated with patent submissions in IE, I get a blank image. When I try in Firefox, it says I need the Quicktime plugin. Quicktime, to view a static image!
Wow - an atheist and a Christian, agreeing on a copyright issue dealing with impediments to an establishment of religion. On slashdot.
What's this world coming to?!?!
(For what it's worth, I'm a Christian who wonders why God would go through and create a set of rules, and just break them for no apparent reason. Who is to say that He can't use evolution to do His work?)
Personally, I'd like to see teachers say "You know what, we aren't going to teach you what to believe. Some people think evolution is false, some people think the universe was created using evolution, and some people think evolution is true. Here's the factual evidence we've got - draw your own conclusions." Takes all of 60 seconds, and it shouldn't step on too many people's toes. It also doesn't attempt to establish a state-sponsored religious belief in schools, which goes against the spirit of the first amendment.
For point #1, copyright law specifically refuses to limit your ability to make copies necessary to install, run, or achive software. See Limitations on exclusive rights: Computer programs for more information.
> Not like they can start blocking all the SSL traffic.
No, but they can run their own SSL proxy, with their own CA. When someone connects to blah.com via SSL, they go to blah.com, grab the cert, rip out the details and use their own key. The connection is then proxied in what is basically a man-in-the-middle attack. Sure, it would raise some errors in browsers, but they could always make the CA cert available for people who tired of those errors.
The system works this way because people don't use it the way it's designed - everyone puts in their maximum bid, and the system sorts the mess out.
Here's the thing: if you are willing to pay even one cent more, it wasn't your maximum. People like to bid back and forth, watch the auction, and make it more of a game than a business transaction. It has nothing to do with "true value" - people just bid less than they are really willing to pay (and they do so even if they are the only ones bidding on an item). Proxy bidding ups your bid automatically, so it's unnecessary. Snipers just take advantage of the fact that people don't put in their maximum bid in the beginning. A sniper can't beat someone with a higher bid, and in fact the sniper doesn't have time to respond either, giving the proxy bidder an advantage.

True. With Apple, you have to install the virus. With a Windows PC, it comes preloaded.
Actually, after talking to a few friends of mine, sprint complains (and eventually cut you off) if you exceed 3GB/mo on their $15 plan for cell phones.
If you pay the "laptop data access" rate, they shouldn't care.
So much for "unlimited" - still, it's not bad.
I pay $15/mo on Sprint PCS for unlimited data (treo, it would be $30 for a Windows Mobile device). I've blown through 2.7 Gigabytes (that's 1024 Kilobytes each, despite what the Hard Drive manufacturers claim). Never had any problems.
It sure beets the $7/MB some canadians pay.

Grab a copy of SharpMusique, And use TCPMP to play it on your Palm, PocketPC, or Windows box. Or, grab a copy of VLC for your platform of choice..
Sure they can, but they don't have to.
You can patent genes from unmodified humans just as easily as from a completly unmodified, naturally occuring virus. It's kind of sad, actually.
Almost all of them - just set "Integrated USB" to "OFF". Then don't use USB peripherals.

Or, for the REALLY serious laser pointer enthusiast:

Nothing like a 125mW green compared to a puny 3mw red pointer
I have more freedom through 60 million people not having guns than I do by me having one...
Sounds like you need a bigger gun.
The issue being that if you close it without saying yes, it still installs the rootkit anyway.

Actually, if you read the exploit, cookie stealing was not necessary. Just a little cookie manipulation, and looking at some JavaScript.
Sure there is.
Have a closed-source player. Have it check the md5sum of the kernel and any modules. Then, have it do all communications with the PCI card in an encrypted manner.
