That, and a number of affiliates have committed "cookie fraud". At one time, affiliate programs used cookies to know which affiliate to credit with a sale. (I don't know if fraud has made them figure out another way.) Scammers would set cookies with a later expiration date than allowed by the program (so they get credit longer), and/or use unrelated websites or banner ads to set affiliate cookies.
My guess is that spread spectrum techniques would pose a much lower risk of interfering with airline navigation. Cell phones are banned outright because if you said "Alltel, Sprint and Verizon only" [CDMA carriers], non-techie people (especially their competitors' marketeers) would not understand why and their bitching would induce the flight attendants to terrorism.
A friend of mine worked at the sales call center at Mindspring, Back In The Day(tm), when you had to put your account number as the PPP login. He had a customer cancel service because he had no way to change her account number to get rid of the 666 in the middle.
In R'ing TFA, I felt like I was reading a muscle car magazine when I saw the pictures of the card. Next they're going to change the case form factor to make the interconnect bulge out, a la the air cleaner peeking up out of the hood!
/me waits for the alternate part number with a circuit boy in a speedo or perhaps a leather daddy. Happy Pride!
The guy who wrote the "Clippy engine" originally had what he thought was pretty good AI that would make it only pop up if the user was really thrashing around. Marketing made him change the algorithm to show Clippy a lot sooner, presumably so demo users would be sure to see this "feature" in the store. There was a blurb about it in Wired, I think.
And there was actually some audio for line printers, though I don't know if anyone ever transmitted it over a modem. Surely someone RJE'd an audio program to another site?
In Houston they apparently built the Loop (I-610) in metric, as there are a bunch of signs on it like "RIGHT LANE MUST EXIT 6/10 MILE". At least they didn't reduce it to 3/5.
If M$FT allowed people like Sony to be creative with the form factor and moved their software improvements to production sooner rather than later, they could solve a lot of their sales problems IMHO.
Does that mean a cable line can deliver more than the 200-300kbs I am getting now (on a good day).
Your cable line delivers a boatload more bandwidth than that. The problem is that cable is a bus topology instead of point-to-point like the phone system, so you have to share that bandwidth with your neighbors' pr0n habits and every TV channel they carry, including HDTV and pay-per-view, whether you are watching them or even able to watch them.
Hence the headend programs your cable modem to throttle itself down.
Offtopic me if you must, but I was reminded of this video from Britain. It's not nearly as long, but it covers a stretch of motorway that uses reversible lanes without a center divider!

slacker hippies will be turned out into the street since they can't just major in english and work in a bookstore

Next time your PHB dismisses testing as an "unnecessary waste of time and money, just write your code carefully and you won't need to test," resign.
Did they click on the blinking monkey?
"One dollar!"
I don't know about that, but I think it does explain the white supremacist militias...
Yes, but Google had one of them firewall thingies protecting their site!
Maybe billg reads /. and called up Citibank's CEO for a chit-chat.

"It's a blast being here," Dumais says, adding: "It's amazingly seductive to ship what you've done to hundreds of millions of people."
Seductive? Done to hundreds of millions of people? Daaaaaaaaaaaamn.
Well I can agree with that.
Yes, according to RFC 3251.

With goatse would be more entertaining...
P.S. I'm using Tablet PC SP2 RC2 (bite me) and it appears that goatse is in the handwriting recognizer's dictionary! (No I didn't put it there)

They'll have to start doing more than telling you to reboot.

Yeah, move him to Washington, DC!
