We'll accept a scanned PDF instead of a fax if it's easier for the sender, but then we have to print it and send it to our document control center for scanning and storage anyway. We just put the printout right on top of the incoming faxes.
The signature on the credit card or on the sales receipt have been for security purposes. It's there to indicate that you accept the terms and agreements to using the card, and that you agree to pay the credit card company for your purchases.
Instead of trying to triangulate a position, you might be able to put a receivers on doorways, and log to a network each RFID signal received.
This way when you look up your hammer, you can tell which doorway it last passed.
Border agents should be better labeled as "Border Clerks." At land crossings from US to Canada, they're just tollbooth jockeys who can't skim a little off the top, so they take any reason or excuse to waste the customer's time.
They're easy to outsmart, just don't "act smart." Stupid people hate smart people.
1) Visit your local retailer. Find "Spore"
2) Read all 6 faces of the packaging carefully. Does it say an internet connection is required, and does it clarify its intent with said internet connection?
3) If the packaging does not clearly delineate the internet connection as described in the parent article, purchase it.
4) Open the packaging, break all the plastic wrappers and such. Make it look like you tried.
5) Return it in less than 24 hours and tell the clerk you do not have internet access, and therefore the game is unusable.
If enough people do this, then the retailers *might* get the clue, and it *might* get back to the retailers, and they *might* reconsider a poor technique such as this.

You have Vista. You don't need any other operating system. We are helping you.
Can we get a "Mr. Fusion" tag for stories like this?
Won't somebody think of the children?
Maybe Amazon is just trying to convince the Patent Office to buy Kindles instead of getting box after box of paperwork dropped on them.
I'm actually considering putting into my will that donations can be made to the EFF.
And I thought the US government were bad liars.
A hoverchair would provide a great view of the room.
Corrected: The signature on the credit card or on the sales receipt have never been for security purposes.

My site is back up. Now the TV ad can run tonight without any glitches.
Can't stop the ad run. It's for an event, meaning paid admission.
Everyone please let me know when iyfwrestling.com is back up and running!
I liked this book, but I'm only part way through the follow up, Broken Angels, and I'll probably have to restart it.
Just drop a Coke bottle with a GPS receiver or a mini cam. Let's see how they react to it.
They did that on an episode of Frasier once.

We keep hearing stories of corporate laptops with confidential information being lost in the public. What if our own government loses this data?
