Just like you should never unsubscibe from spam, you should never call those numbers to be removed from junk fax lists. If they remove your number (doubtful) they will sell it to other junk faxers. By searching out the removal number you are also indicating that you actually look at their crap and that opens the floodgates even more as you have seen.
That doesn't work. I have a fax number that I give out to no one and yet I still get at least one junk fax per day. I have probably been found through war-dialing.
I actually sued a local company that advertised themselves that way in small-claims court under the TCPA. I did end up winning the case but I was only awarded court costs and not the $500 to $1,500 for a willful violation. The judge said that he had to keep things in perspective becuase he doesn't fine DUI offenders that much ($1,500). At least it cost the company in terms of time of an officer of the company (in this case the Vice President of Human Resources) that had to show up to defend themselves.
At one time you could assign your junk faxes to Fax Wars and they would do the research of what company was lurking behind the toll free numbers (no one is dumb enough to blantly say a company name anymore) and sue them. You would then get $25 per successful suit or settlement. Alas, their website has been under construction for a while now. They were supposed to be revamping it so you could track the progress of your faxes on-line instead of calling them.
It's not in Google's interest to support or encourage encryption in the GMail system. Part of the draw of them giving you a free e-mail account with a lot of storage is so that they can parse the e-mail and show you relevant links on the same page as the e-mail. Besides, even if they did would you want them to have access to your private key to decrypt e-mail messages?
I've sold a couple pieces of Microsoft software on eBay that I no longer used and I never had an auction pulled. My auctions were completely legitimate as the software came in the original cases on original CDs with keys attached. When I sold them (I think it was Office 97 and Office 2000) I was not using them anymore as I had upgraded so I should have been fine in that department.
Linux and its bootloaders (at least GRUB, I don't know about LILO) can already deal with EFI. Itanium uses EFI and Linux has been running there since Itanium came out.
About a year ago a kid got busted taking his iPod in to the store with him to CompUSA and/or Apple Stores, mounting the iPod as a drive, and then copying high-dollar applications directly from the demo machine's drive to the iPod.
Even if data transfer is one way you still need the other way because of how TCP/IP works with acknowledgements and retransmit requests. Your idea of removing wires would break all network communication.
I seriously doubt that the settlement money here will come directly out of the school district's budget. More than likely they have some kind of liability insurance policy that would pay out in a case like this. Maybe it's too small of an amount for an insurance payout, but any entity that doesn't have some kind of general liability policy is asking for problems when a case like this arises.
My wife, who is a music teacher in a public elementary school, has a general liability policy for $1 million that covers her for anything that the district won't. Especially handy is today's lawsuit-happy society.
No. As has been stated earlier, whether or not you unlock your phone has no effect on still being bound by the terms of your contract. If you unlock your phone for the purposes of changing carriers before your current contract is up then you still have to pay the early termination fee where the carrier would recoup their subsidy (and then some, I'm guessing).
Knowing the code or how it works doesn't give you any insight to well-written encryption. The source code to GnuPG is available but I don't see anyone breaking the public key cryptography it generates.
I think the rule was that digital televisions and other related equipment that were manufactured after July 1st were to have the ability to detect the broadcast flag. So there would be no reason for manufactuers to start building that functionality in now because they would not be required to do so until July 1st.
What about contamination? Some employers may not look favoribly on your open-source work becaus they will be worried about GPL code showing up in their products (either intentionally or unintentionally).
I know that when I was going to get source access to some Microsoft code I had to agree to not even look at any open-source code whether it was related to the Microsoft code or not.
No. WiMax won't use the unlicensed spectrum of your wireless router. They will be on licensed frequencies to avoid the kind of interference problems you're talking about.
I wish people would stop calling Moore's Law a law. Laws don't have the word "about" in them ("transistor counts double about every 18 months"). It should be called "Moore's Observation" or "Moore's Conjecture."
In physics, do we say that force is about equal to mass times acceleration?

I think Bill needs to read this book in order to stop using words like "ecosystem" and other hollow marketing-words.
The people where I work are constantly spewing this stuff and they aren't marketing people either.
I think most restaurants have contracts with the soft drink vendors. The contracts expire, though, and they are free to change who they get their soft drinks from.
You'll never see Coke products at a Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, etc. because those chains are owned by a subsidary of Pepsi. I think the subsidary is completely independent now (Yum Brands) and technically Coke can bid for their soft drink contracts.

It says plainly on the webpage linked in the article that it will format your hard drive. You should read more closely next time.
The licensing for Windows will be on a per-socket basis. So you could have a dual-core CPU with HT on each core (a total of four threads) that would be supported by XP Home because it's still just one socket.
It works fine. I bought my wife a PowerBook for last Chirstmas and it has no problems mounting Windows volumes and my Samba shares on my Linux machine.
You're misunderstanding what's being talked about here. This thread isn't talking about web pop-ups, it's discussing Windows Messenger pop-ups (nothing to do with MSN Messenger either).
If you want pop-up-less web browsing get a browser that blocks them. I just went to CNN's website with Firefox 0.9.3 and got no pop-ups or pop-unders (a little icon of a window with a red X in it in the lower-left corner of the browser tells me it killed the pop-ups).
There is one part of the US that actually uses metric. The I-19 that runs between Tucson, Arizona and the Mexican border has all of its distances in metric ("...next exit 500 m"). However, all of the speed limit signs are still imperial. Can you imagine what would happen if those were in metric as well? "I can do 120 on this road now?"
The judge didn't reject the restraining order because Iron Port didn't bother to answer the complaint. With no rebuttal, the judge will rule for the complaintant.
The same thing works for a lawsuit. If a lawsuit is filed against you and you choose to ignore it, the judge will enter a default judgement against you.
It would be interesting to know why Iron Port didn't bother to answer the complaint. Even if Iron Port thought the spammer was completely off base they still should have shown up in court and said so!
