I think we'd better get used to terrorism because I suspect we're going to see more and more of it. IMHO we are now seeing more terrorism than ever before, from Wiktionary:
The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create an emotional response from the victim in the furtherance of a political or social agenda.
Violence against civilians to achieve military or political objectives.
A psychological strategy of war for gaining political or religious ends by deliberately creating a climate of fear among the population of a state.
I draw your attention to (3). TBH, I can barely remember the time or place to hit Europe, but I can clearly see the response every day. Extra police at every turn, increasing armed (dunno what you guys in the States think of this, but it freaks me out).
When I was a kid, there was a lot of talk about the IRA, and I remember town centers being closed because of bomb scares, but the IRA did not dominate national policy the way "Al Qaeda" does now.
Shame really, I used to read/. thinking "those crazy yanks, glad I'm not stuck in your country", now I'm not so sure.
Ok, so since when is a copy of your passport (with dated stamps of countries you entered) NOT conclusive you traveled there at that time?
Next. Well if the Road to Guantanamo is anything to go by, being on police bail (and reporting daily) isn't a reason you can't be in another country. I guess the same logic applies here.
Here's a solution. Look at your status bar. If you see some wacko, malformed mailto: address appear when you hover over the link, don't click on it. The damned thing is longer than my arm! If it doesn't say joeuser@domain.foo, don't click. That simple. Haven't got an XP box to test this on, but what if you redirected the user to the URI? (like with header(Refresh 2; URL=mailto:%00%00../../blah blah blah);)
Or you can go to https://mail.google.com/mail to sign in (not https://gmail.com/ the certificate is for mail.google.com and you'll get warnings). I just set the bookmark I use to that and have an easy life.
Aside from girls (and who said the OP was a guy?), especially if they were doing a full time job, college/uni is ALL about the social aspects. Maybe I'm misguided (this is/.) but 90% of what I learned at college was far more along the lines of "How to talk confidently to people (girls/guys/the weird one from the army)" than "How to make computers do stuff". I found when you get out of education you have far less time to socialize and another year when your covering material you have been over before lets you spend more time with the human skills you learn there.
The other personal wiki that i know of but forgot the name of, search for notepad on crack. Sorry about lack of name, maybe whoever had it in there sig could reply?
While anti-social behaviour is a bit ambiguous in terminology I got the impression from the news last night, that the cameras were to stop the people who feel it's the traffic warden's fault they're parked on double yellow lines. Here in England, a huge number of people have a huge problem with parking laws and seem to believe that abuse and violence will get there ticket canceled. If I was a warden, I'd want the evendance that some chav really DID spend 20 mins shouting death threats at me.
As a side note: I met a doorman with a camera on his head before, and I hope they made the camera strong. As soon as there was a fight the first thing to be hit was the camera (obviously the camera isn't sending footage live to a CCTV server, duh!)
A few points about these cameras all over the place. Having been on both sides of the police, both asking for help when people cause me trouble and getting my room searched when the landlord got busted, i found that the current culture leans very much towards getting caught in the act. All the watchers are totally focussed on the easy arrest, the fatal combination of arrest targets and crazy paper work cause this shit. I worrys me greatly that i live in a country where the police can tell who i associate with and where i went drinking, but don't have the money to do anything about petty crimes (like beating and robbing the elderly). Side note: sorry if this post is a bit weirdly written, slashdot on a phone is quite an experiance. L8r
I've almost exclusively used mobile phones since about 2000 (me@14), and kept the same number since about 2003. The double convenience of keeping the same number (for all those wow-i-havn't-seen-you-in-ages) and a phone that works anywhere that isn't a double-basement is what keeps me mobile. I would only get a landline for DSL service, and probably wouln't even connect a phone to it now, because I never answer it - only telemarketers phone the landline.
Sidenote: The best thing about higher mobile call cost -> telemarketers bills
's probably a bit late, but o well.
When I used pos devices, they can authenticate cardholders before they call the bank to authorize funds. I think it's also harder to clone the newer cards as they provide output from some kind of embedded code (like the differance between ripping off.html and.php files).
I do believe you are correct that you shouldn't HAVE to look at ads, however having a service provided to you with the only cost being to avoid looking at ads is brilliant. Think of free newspapers, TV (not that $ky crap, but normal TV) and most of the net.
Think of your morning paper, would you pay £35 to have a quick, ad free read on the train?
You speak from an educated perspective, think how many people you heard bragging about there new HT system without knowing what those letters are supposed to do. 4 cores may not help in any current game, especially no more than 2 (think background tasks) however think of the marketing deptartment.
Are these people crazy, flirting with/giving gifts to those with female chars? Is there some slight chance there gonna get them to take off there Armor and/sleep with them?

ounno abnmut local law, but in the uk spent convictions stay viable, just disregarded. No applying to teach for them!

Why does the bank send the PIN at all, I thought the point of chip and pin cards was one-way encryption handled by the card?
This makes me think some people just have FAR to much money Also http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/AAAAAAAAA!

I only really laughed at the improvments to gifs. What new thing is totally unavailable in any current graphics format that Unisys can make ca$h from?

...And what would YOUR server do if it got 1% of the traffic on the internet?
It's REALLY tempting to mod-down out of spite/fanboy reasons. Go Apple!
They start to like it after you answer "Can you make my computer faster?" with "Ok, turn off all the skins and crap"
