A) this is 2001 you're talking about (8 years ago)
B) I know that lots of IT personnel wear pagers since they need to receive one-way messages sent by a machine to report downtime, and you don't really need to respond with "OK, hang on - I'm on my way!"
You're right - and I think our roads, military, firefighters, police and water systems are run so poorly that we need to find someone else to run them for us... Only through competition will we have the choice of who to hire to spray water on our houses and chase down the arsonists who did it. I just hope they offer frequent buyer's cards.
These are tack-on penalties, like not wearing a seatbelt is to traffic offenses. You're not going to get pulled over for not wearing a seat belt, but if you get pulled over for breaking the speed limit and the cop doesn't like your attitude, they'll tack on the "no seatbelt" penalty as well.
So if you're in the slammer for some crime, they can tack-on "oh, hey neglected to pay taxes for his ill-begotten gains".
Not quite - you're thinking of older versions. Modern versions of Peakflow are teamed with TMS (Threat Management System), which allow you to mitigate DDoS attacks.
From their website, "Surgical Mitigation
Arbor Peakflow SP TMS enables you to automatically detect and surgically remove only the attack traffic while maintaining legitimate business traffic â" thereby ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction."
I actually cried when my teeth were replaced with money. Miraculously enough, when I woke up in the morning, my tooth was back, and the money had vanished. By some freak luck, I managed to keep all of my baby teeth in a packet after they all fell out... perhaps these will pay off? Who knows?
The only way that 3rd parties are going to get a foothold in this country is if we were to move to proportional representation model. Currently, 48 of the 50 states are binary win/lose points. This means that someone like Ross Perot could get nearly 19% of the popular vote, yet not collect a single electoral vote.
Let's say that your state had 10 electoral votes, and decided to adopt proportional voting - like Nebraska and Maine do currently, then Perot could have received 2, Bush 4, and Clinton 4 (depending on rounding and the opinions of your fellow statespeople).
However, if people thought they actually had a choice instead of tossing their vote away, you'd start to see viable 3rd party candidates, and they would need to build coalitions with the legislature in order to pass laws.
Of course they've had better mental health lately... their man has been in charge for the past 8 years, and for most of that time congress was in his pocket. Many laws, actions, wars and appointments have been made in their favor. I'd be interested to see the same poll done in 1999... or even in 2015 when Obama is wrapping up his second term.:)
In the mid to early 80s, I absolutely loved the Tom Swift series. Only later when I was looking for the 12th book in the series did I realize that Tom Swift had other series back in the 50s. Today I realize that it was the 3rd of 4 series:
Sounds like a good idea, but sometimes you need to act faster than 90 days in order to be effective. Unfortunately, any exceptions you can come up with would then be abused, much like everything else by this administration.

Hmmm, so you've never built a site for FedEx or the LA Lakers then?

This sounds like a man in the middle attack to me.

I thought this was uniquely funny
I think there's a reason they call people who send those messages twits.

Only if the men with short ones fail to reproduce, so this would be up to the ladies to decide this.

It appears that it's the only series set in outer space, which is probably why I loved them so much.

I'd love to see the cows which produced all that milk... ;)
