You're asserting then that Federal Law Enforcement agencies, especially those that are in the limelight of hot social issues (terrorism, immigration, drugs) do not operate with relative impunity? I think you're gravely mistaken about your government and how much it "cares" about you.
That's another story. A 10 meg attachment isn't that big of a deal, and I don't see how they arrived at that figure with any semblance of reasonable accounting.
Have you watched an NFL game lately? =/ Every down has a commercial now. In a 3 1/2 hour game, I'd say 2 hours of it is actually commercial time. No more stats or anything between plays, it's all Bud Light and car commercials ever single time there's a timeout, injury, or a change of possession.
You shouldn't be storing files in email. Your CFO is as big of a chooch for backing you as you are for whining about, and the IT head is going to hate you both now.
Your IT head's problem is probably not that you're asking for their calculation, but that you're presumably concerned about it because you got bitched at for storing large files on the mail server.
It takes 2 clicks to save an attachment to the damn network drive. It uses up mail server system resources (just think if every one of 5000 employees stored every file they have on the mail server) and wastes the money put into the file server. Quit being lazy.
As Steve Jackson will tell you, this guy is pretty much screwed. Anything they seize in the course of an investigation is pretty much theirs now and there's nothing you can do about it. Federal Law Enforcement is basically untouchable. Welcome to Amerika.
Yep, that's entirely correct. MtG online lets you buy booster packs for the same price as in the store. The number and type of cards you get per pack are completely identical, but they're bits stored on a server instead of real cards. However, you are allowed to have any card you own online converted to a "real" card and mailed to your home. If they'd do that the other way around (i.e. let me send them my card collection and convert it to online cards) I'd play.
The biological sciences are packed with women now that the male-geeks have fled to the solace of the computer sciences. You should see the hotties I go to school with. *rawr*
In nearby Denver, Comcast and Qwest prices are the same, but I use a national ISP based out of NC called Britsys. They use Worldcom and Covad to provide the hardline and provide 1.5/768 DSL for about $50 a month, with no restrictions and a static IP. Extra IPs are like $5 a month each. They'll even host your domain name on their DNS servers and route it to one of your IPs, free of charge.
I can't say enough good things about these guys...their service has never gone out in the 6 months I've had it, my speed is always consistently what it is advertised, and the one time I ever had to call their tech support (router config issues when i first started) they were excellent.
Check em out,they might be available in your city: Britsys Inc
1) If you think $50-60 a month is "skyhigh" then broadband isn't for you.
2) There are national DSL providers that the Baby Bells are compelled to resell their lines to. Britsys, my provider, is available in almost every major city. I get reliable 1.5/768 service (it's never gone down in the year i've had it) for $50 a month.
3) Almost anywhere there's a baby Bell selling DSL, there's also a cable company selling cable internet...usually faster and cheaper.
Enjoy your 56k access. (You said something about antiquated technology?)
The quality of their college education varies wildly. Do you know that Indian doctors only go to school for 4 years total? Not 4 years of university and then 4 years of medical school, but 4 years for the entire MD! That's basically a physician's assistant's education!
That's how we compete. Traditional high quality education. We must also revert to the Buy American mentality that used to pervade the US after WWII. If we punish companies for outsourcing by not using their products or services, they'll stop doing it. Their job is to maximize profits, I can't blame them for doing so...but if it's less profitible to outsource, they will quit.
The problem isn't necessarily that everyone needs a cause here...it's that their causes are self-serving and inane. Very few take of the cause of, say, ousting corrupt politicians or punishing dishonest corporate offices. For some reason they take on causes like banning a video game or a book because it offends their sensibilities. (Yet somehow being taken advantage of by those in power doesnt offend them) I'm not sure exactly why this is.
But yes, you're right on the money. If folks would mind their own damn business, half this countries problems would go away. Imagine it, Political correctness and frivolous lawsuits could be a thing of the past!
So you'd rather hire a failure that has probably cost his prior company money over someone who can reliably get the job done to specifications? I'd hate to be a shareholder in your company. Hell, I'd hate to be that friend of your who you told not to list her managerial experience. Believe it or not, most employers LIKE to see demonstrated responsbility.
The funny thing is, once you've paid the cost of the rental ($3-$5), the cost of the blank media($1-$2), and the cost of the burner($200-$500) as opposed to $15 per movie, you'd need to rent and burn over 30 movies to break even. So unless you're a bigtime movie fan, this is just silly.
Even so, these aren't the people the MPAA is upset over. They still rent movies which means Blockbuster needs to buy more copies to keep up with the extra demand. The MPAA is more concerned with downloaders, especially those who download and/or distribute movies still in the theater.
I think GM would have a hard time convincing a judge that your meddling with the car's computer network caused a leak in the coolant or made a ball joint crack. You can't really cause physical defects to a car via the computer.
No no no....3 years of service = 3 years of their $10 a month subscription price. That's why they were flying off the shelved, thats over $300 in service for free.
The market share already pretty much belongs to Tivo, I'd say they basically screwed themselves and lost thousands of customers to Tivo forever. Dumbasses.
True...I was thinking more towards burning your own mp3 compilations, though. 700mb is still a decent playlist and you can just leave a few CD-Rs in the car without having to worry about losing much if they get stolen.
You know, for around $100-200 you can get an actual car stereo CD player installed that not only reads music CDs but also CD-ROMs containing MP3 files. Just so you know.
I don't think this disclaimer is saying anything outlandish. They HAVE to include it for the simple fact there are greedy douchebags who would sue Microsoft if they implemented a change to Windows that resembled something the person submitted via this form.
When you're a big target you need to keep your defenses up. So unless you really were planning on suing them for making a change you suggested, I don't think that NOT participating is accomplishing anything other than letting you feel righteously indignant.
Most big companies and organizations have a legal team already on salary. I doubt they paid any more than they already paid in salaries. It's not like they actually went to court, they just drafted some documents...any legal aide can do that.
Just wait for the extended edition DVD to come out. You know they'll have the material on it.
FYI, some limited locations on the day of the release of RotK, are playing the extended edition of all three movies back to back. You might get to see your 7 minutes there.
She's being sued civially, not criminally. As far as I can tell, file sharing of copyrighted materials isn't a criminal act, but you can be civilly liable. (it's another story if you sell unauthorized copies for profit)

That's the funniest thing I've read all month. You sir, are brilliantly subtle.

Use Splenda to be on the safe side. ;)
1) They're not prosecuting, they're suing civilly.
2) They're submitting subpoenas for access to confidential records without going through the courts.
3) They're going after minors and people who uninvolved with file sharing entirely
4) You're an idiot.
