This is the article you're looking for. It will explain things the best, though you'll have to refer to the parent to get why he uses IOD instead of IOL.
Incidentally, the intraocular lenses are in decent use - not real common, but enough that one part at least, has FDA approval, and is no longer in the experimental phase.
1) Average spam size from yahoo: 2k
2) Biggest single spam email on the first two pages of my inbox: 5k
3) Total amount of spam that gets counted against my storage quota: 0k
From Yahoo:
"With SpamGuard turned on, Yahoo! Mail will deliver suspected spam to this folder and delete them after one month.
Messages in your Bulk folder do not count toward your mailbox storage quota."
I signed up for a yahoo account - for games, and decided that email could be useful.
Logged in - I've not given the email address to anyone (because I don't remember the yahoo mail ID without looking it up, so its easier to give them the self designated one at hotmail that I remember) - and I get well over 15k spam messages - PER DAY.
No amount of 'spiffy' interface can correct that.
If I wanted the spiffy interface, I would have set it up in outlook, thunderbird, eudora, etc etc.
(and yes, it is possible to do that from multiple places, even on a standard pop server - and have all your messages in all places, without receiving the same ones over and over again.)
The software he sold would have sold for 20 mil + if it had sold at normal prices - but it didn't.
The 5.4 million he has to pay in restitution is the same 5.4 million he made - no less.
When a supposed 'master' comes back to you after you do a project for him, and pulls you into his office to make you explain exactly how you made your bit of code do something because, quote "C isn't supposed to be capable of that," I become much more inclined to believe that a true master doesn't exist.
It works the same way from the backend -
Discuss religion with a group on slashdot, and you're bound to get someone calling you a fool or a nut for 'buying into it'.
But try to discuss how science affects religion to a group of religious people, and suddenly you 'have no faith' in anything.
This, I think, is more related to the point - you get the closet slashdotters because some of us simply don't like to be drug into the mudslinging matches for having an opinion that differs from what's being spouted.
Perhaps being 'intellectually curious' means you're open to ideas, but don't really want to get bashed over the head by any of them - or by any one person or group.
If women would stop fighting for equality, maybe they could step back and realize two very, very important things.
1)90% of the time, when women say that they've been a victim of sexism, there were, in fact, other things that caused such a decision to be made.
Example: A woman in Overland Park, KS applied to be a firefighter. She failed her application because she couldn't successfully carry the 100 lb weight out of the building. She cried sexism, on the basis that the dept. had 80% men and only 20% women. The city was then forced to lower the requirements on the application for women.
This is not equality.
Such obvious examples are not 'the norm'. I get it. But as a woman, I don't believe that women and men are as 'unequal' as some feminists seem to think.
2)Equal does NOT mean exactly the same.
Women's bodies are not meant to develop muscle the same way that mens are, so it is more difficult for women to be as strong.
Women tend to be more emotional than men. This is an asset! It allows us to be empathetic. Empathy allows us to be better supervisors, and managers, and have better moral and productivity on a team.
Different does not mean lesser. We know this, and yet, some feminists continue to think along the lines of "he's better at this than me. . I must be better than him by working harder" without ever analyzing the other side. (well I'm better at this than he can ever be).
that particular link doesn't hold up.
If you actually read what you linked to, you'd not ice that the tax applies to three groups.
1)The people that provide the encoder/decoder software.
2)The people that stream the MP3s.
and
3)Those that provide the MP3s for download.
Thus, Winamp eg, is charged a royalty.
Games that provide MP3s are charged a royalty.
radio sites that stream MP3s are charged.
Sites like audiogalaxy and yahoo that provide MP3s for download are charged.
These companies MAY choose to pass the tax on, but many don't. EG, winamp provides the basic software for free. In addition, the user before indicated the paid sites, which do pay for these taxes, and there is no tax on the MP3 itself.
It ALSO explicitly states:
[i]Note: No license is needed for private, non-commercial activities (e.g., home-entertainment, receiving broadcasts and creating a personal music library), not generating revenue or other consideration of any kind or for entities with an annual gross revenue less than US$ 100 000.00.[/i]
The Commodore 64 didn't have a hard-drive. Was just a matter of programming the right disks for it.
Not that the C64 is really in use anymore. . . . but most of that was due to marketing crap.
[b][i]Perhaps that would get the parents attention if there was a law saying 18+ games must be purchased by 18+ year olds.[/i]
I see no good reason why [i]I[/i], a consenting adult, should have to be subject to legal infrastructure standing between me and a video game because a bunch of uptight parents can't be bothered to raise their children themselves.[/b]
If you're a 'consenting adult', then, by definition, you're older than 18. Thus, the law wouldn't be in your way.
However, the solution to this is not a law. The solution is more active parenting. The parent knows the child, and can set the appropriate boundaries. Even if its just a time thing, and perhaps, if necessary, a teaching that its just a game.
I'm convinced that my dad would *still* flip if he saw me with any pornographic type nudity (pixelated, main focus of the game, or not) on my computer system. And I'm 24. As for my own children, it still comes down to being active in their stuff.
As for punishment and restrictions, if parents would take the time to LEARN shit about the new technology coming out, it wouldn't be an issue.
Things like the V-chip don't get used because people don't know how.
"... Mostly, this seems to manifest itself as varying degrees of poor spelling and grammar: 'definately' instead of 'definitely'; 'should of' instead of 'should have'; and I even see the names of products and companies misspelled from time to time."
As long as we're being nitpicky. . . there's a rule in English grammar called 'parallelism'. This sentence doesn't follow the rule correctly. Instead of "...and I even see the names...", it would be more correct to write "even the names..." With this correction, the last item in your list is written in the same 'form' as the first two.
Sorry, I missed the rest of your message due to your 'mediocre' command of the English language.
Slashdot Mirror
"Raymond John Noorda, age 82, passed away in his home in Orem, Utah on October 9, 2006 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean he died?

Actually, most of the ones that are government funded came from our desire and exploits into space, not conquest.
The thing costed 10k, but he was ONLY OUT OF POCKET BY 2k
The man only made 5.4 million.
The software he sold would have sold for 20 mil + if it had sold at normal prices - but it didn't.
The 5.4 million he has to pay in restitution is the same 5.4 million he made - no less.
no. He sold $20 million WORTH of software for 5.4 million. he only received 5.4 mil for the sales. He has to return all of it.

it is new data confirming an old result. Thats why the journal posted it.
