I'm sorry, I just can't visualize him ever even uttering the phrase 'crack whores'. The man has good taste.
The man is also a libertine, a sodomist, and a no holds barred paragon of common sense. If he didnt say "crack whores," he said something worse (better.) All this, of course, is more reason to admire him. I do not have a twisted view of Vidal's message; it is accurate as far as I paraphrased it.
Gore Vidal once ran for office. His summed up his experience as follows (paraphrasing): by the time you've reached presidential candidacy, you've been bought so many times by corporate interests, you begin to look upon crack whores as a paragon of virtue.
Not so Nader. Vote fucking Nader, already. Its the only way 99.9999999% of you losers are ever gonna make a positive difference to the world with your lives.

Actually, I got my statistics from several wired articles that were not refering to porn sites. Also, the chargeback ratio is for *information* sold. If your experience includes sites that actually ship something, your stats will be better. The 0.1% conversion ratio is an accepted industry figure. It is an average, of course.
So let me get this straight. The only way to see the man eating shark incidence in Sidney harbor during the triathalon is to wait 24+ hours until NBC's daytime soaps are over and Bob Costas leaves the makeup chair?
Oh, please. Is now the time for all good trolls to come to the aid of their idiot brethren? It has also been said that Random Joe shares 95% of his DNA with chimpanzees. Its that other 5% that counts, evidently.
Moderators, have your will with streetlawyer (he is, at least, funny) but do mod down anything by Dan Hayes - its an alias for a particularly boring/. troll.
Signal 11 is just trying to be funny. There is a reasonable made in the USA sol'n to this problem.
Suppose I want to write a program that I know corporate America won't like without being sued or arrested.

I cannot believe anyone who's read through the entire site does not see this for the hoax that it is. It is riddled with contradictions, nonsensical vaportech, and inside jokes. Goddamn, even their barcode contains 31337. From their faq - and these 2 quotes are by no means the sum of all the evidence.
Ain't life beautiful? I think I'll change my handle to Loki.

Q: How does it work?
A: The answer to this question changes a lot...
That's true. The explanation does change a lot. Ok, a lot of us have been thinking slashdot has become something of a joke, lately. But goddam, is it really necessary for Hemos - Hemos! - to drive the point home?
Sheesh. There is absolutely nothing on that site that suggests anything other than a hoax.
You can have a V1000 for all that it will matter. People will still share their shit. People will buy the stuff they really dig, download, listen, and delete the rest.
What's wrong with that picture? Correct. Nothing.
Will Sony, Lars, et al make less money? Sure. About fucking time the market in music has a say in the price of that music.
(Your salary arguements mark you as yet another asinine troll. I'm replying for the benefit of those who understand neither software nor law.)
This is why we have class action suits.
But that's neither here nor there since reasonable people understand that when you have to use the law to *enforce* your business model, your business model is on its last legs. Most of us "dipshits" understand that future iterations of sharing software will integrate port forwarding and encryption.
This whole thing reminds me of the Knight challenge in The Search for the Holy Grail.
you spent hours finding and ripping and downloading and burning a bunch of songs that are barely even worth a dime or two each. Oops -- I just remembered that "Time is money" doesn't really have much meaning to people like you
Dont compound your idiocy. Maybe *you* stare at the download progress bar but most people actually use multitasking. The rest of us have broadband access. A cd full of songs is worth a dime or two - at least you got that part right.
As the poster says, during the installation of SQL Server you are _clearly_ given the chance to change the password (an item that is easily changed using the Enterprise Manager at any time).
Funny, why is it that you cant get very far into an installation without providing an installation key but you can go from zero to hax0red in no time flat if you click next when asked for a password? Because there is SECURITY BUG in the installation's logic, that is why.
I'm sure the security people who get paid to come and clean up after you dont think its a flaw - clearly MS doesnt - but its a flaw nevertheless. A really big one.
The stats for American domains are: Americans pick the most inane domain names. Americans are never content to pick a single inane domain name, they must have several and even bitch that there arent enough inane tld suffixes. Americans think domain names actually matter for traffic.
