Volvo 240/740 series of cars. Owner-servicable, SCADS of parts (Most 240 parts from the 70's on up to '92 are interchangable, same for 740), reliable as sin, and ugly, so no one will steal it. If you treat those machines with respect, you won't be able to kill them.
The reality is that almostnoother commercialsoftwarevendor will provide you with updates if you aren't current on maintenance, let alone pirated the software in the first place.
Ehh, what? Seems like a CLEAR MANDATE to me!

Wow, you are such a big man. REAL project managment. You must be some sort of guru or something.
Build me an airplane. How long will it take?
I want an answer now.
(Can you give an estimate to that question that a PHB would accept?)
PGR is an entirely different game than BO3. Yes, I suppose the basic premise is teh same as you are driving a vehicle. The similarities basically end there. Burnout is more of a twitch/fast reflexes game, and PGR is more into finesse (get them kudos!) and driving skill. Right up until the end of BO3, I felt that Project Gotham was way harder... Some of those courses with the cones were brutal, especially with some of the cars they forced you to use...
And this has the advantage of working over ssh X forwarded connections without installing all the dependencies.
... what exactly are you talking about here? For all intents and purposes, remote X sessions (including ssh forwarded ones) are executed entirely on the host running the X client (X client==X-based program, X server==Program that displays X applications). No dependencies to worry about, because the only thing the server is doing is displaying the graphical information the X client tells it to.
So, once again, what the hell are you talking about?
The people I know who use oil heat make a large purchase (typically enough to last the entire winter) to 'lock in' a price when prices are low (or, surplus oil is available). Then, the oil company delivers that oil all winter at the agreed-upon price. The oil company is happy because they have their cash in advance and the customer is happy because they're getting oil at a better price than if they had just got it from whoever's delivering in the neighborhood.
I may be misunderstanding you, but it seems like their purchases of oil are at least somewhat supply-driven.
In other words, instead of purchasing oil when supplies are tighter in the winter, they make their purchase at a time when everyone's oil burners are off.
For the record, my experience with this is in NJ.
Are you sure crime is linked to California's 'gun control' laws, and not the fact that silicon valley is a rediculously affluent locale, and most businesses would have a bit more loot on hand than your average liquor store in Watts?
One's usage of heating energy is not purely a function of the average temperature. It's a function of many things such as the number of rooms you use in the winter, the state of the house's weatherproofing, one's comfort level, and so on.
It's always possible to turn the thermostat down another two degrees and put on a sweater. That can provide significant savings, especially for those people who walk around in bermuda shorts inside during the winter. How about not heating your bathroom? Do you really need it to be toasty warm? It sure does suck in the morning when it's chilly, but when you're in the room only 20 minutes a day or so including shaving and showers and regular use, it seems pretty wasteful to keep it heated.
When times are tough, instead of feeding the machine, it is possible to conserve more. When gas got more expensive, I drove less and biked more. When tomatoes were really expensive due to 'hurricanes', I ate less tomatoes.
Of course, if you want to keep your house at 75 or 80 degrees, you can feel free, and you can enjoy the nice warm fuzzy feeling of making the oil companies richer.
I've done this with coworkers back when I was a student employee at a university. Some students come from far away, and as such, don't have access to their local bank. And of course, in its infinite wisdom, the University picked a payroll bank does not have a branch within walking distance of the university. To save my coworker time and INKING (the bank requires a thumbprint -- yuck!), I got my coworker to endorse his check to me, and I gave him cash. It worked out well, and my bank didn't seem to mind... There are legitimate uses, but like anything else, it can be used for good or evil.
Yes yes, organized crime!! OH NOS!!! I hear those mob guys use guns, let's outlaw them! Oh yeah, and they use cell phones, gotta outlaw them too -- what if they were stolen and got into the wrong hands? Oops, and those mob bosses sure do like to use code words, time out outlaw any non-approved speech!
Oh, no, I have your proof right here.
From the Asbury Park Press: He is charged with one count of interfering with the operation of a mass transportation vehicle and one count of making false statements to the FBI.
I think you should be charged with making false statements, deek!
How much energy is used to create the flourescent bulb vs. an incandescent one? What about toxic materials that were used to make the lightbulbs or may ven lurk inside (plastics, etc)? There's more to the energy equation than what your electric company bills you. You're just offloading the costs (financial, environmental) of the flourescent bulb onto the community in which they are manufactured and the community in which they will be disposed.
You're assuming people who run most businesses have a clue about security. To them, Windows "is secure". No file permissions, ACL's, or anything. They just figure it's safe, cause it's on the computer. I've seen this in action. It's frighteningly common.
I'm amazed that you have so much text in this reply, but you've clearly missed the point of the article. The conclusion of the article determined that the main reason why the Japanese get all the 'cool toys' is because they NEED them (due to tiny apartments) and people can AFFORD them (due to expensive housing, people tend to live in groups, lowering the per-person cost of housing for families).
Why would you ever do that? Flourescent lights give off some of the worst light, in my opinion. Why would you want everything to look that weird shade of green?
And what happens when that data gets comprimised? I really would get pretty pissed off if I found out my vendor was storing my CC info on its boxes -- no need. Can't authorize, too bad. Try again later. I don't think VISA would be too happy about that practice...
Thanks for that very long post, I'm sure you put a lot of work into it. Only problem is that you ignored the main idea of my post.
You're correct, IF the.torrent file actually has protected information in it. IT DOES NOT. Let's go over this again. A.torrent file is NOT a copy of the content in question. It doesn't even tell you where to find the content. There is no way to tell that that.torrent is related to a copy of Halo 2 or a "Who's the Boss" episode. All a.torrent file does is tell you a server to connect to that keeps track of other people who also have that.torrent file as well as some file checksum data. No protected content, no pointers to copywritten data.

That stands to be reasoned. The man in question, however, is not a stupid, adolescent, white male. He is a stupid, middle aged, white male.
2. How is this "online"?
Does someone print slashdot out for you, or do you read it over the intar-web with your compu-tar?
No, thank you.
At 15,000 feet, the ground looks a whole lot like a normal everyday road map -- not that difficult to follow at all.

You're correct, IF the
There are gigs and gigs of stuff on p2p and binary newsgroups and, again, no commerical benefit to those that post them.
You've obviously never been on Supr[popup]nova or any other torrent sites. And KaZaa didn't have spyware/ads in it either?
Obviously there is a commercial benefit to p2p.
