There needs to be better coordination between marketing and IT. IT had no idea marketing was running commercials showing customers using all this high-bandwidth stuff so there's no way IT could be prepared for it. Imagine 160 customers just trying to view websites on one DSL line! I admire this guy for his honesty if nothing else. He'll probably catch hell for it from his superiors!
Might be more effective if we killed the assholes who actually bought this stuff Sigh. I'm embarrassed to admit you'd have to kill my sister. She loves spam. She buys lots of stuff from spammers. I also get a new laptop every year when hers gets so clogged with malware that she demands a new one. My only consolation is we're both adopted so I'm not really related to her!
It seems to me the other studios will eventually have no choice but to accept this new method of distribution. Man that sounds dumb. But it's true. Good for Apple for forcing a change that I think most honest, paying customers have been demanding.
It doesn't matter how much I dislike the RIAA. Stealing stuff is wrong and if these students who settled did so because of a guilty conscience then they deserve to be out the 3-5 thousand USD. Students today need more courses in ethics.
The site where TFA is hosted appears to have been/.ed already so I can't see it. Is there anything in the decision that might possibly relate to forum comments? Thanks.
I noticed a drastic change in the way accesskey works in Fx 2.0.
Prior to 2.0 if I assigned accesskey="1" to a link, simply pressing Alt+1 in Windows worked the same as clicking on the link. In order to get accesskey to work in 2.0 I need to press Alt+Shift+1.
Why was this change incorporated into 2.0? It makes accesskey virtually useless, just like it's always been in IE where Alt+1 simply gives focus to the link but doesn't actually simulate clicking on it, which means you have to click on it anyway; or at least press Enter.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.
I read the articles and was left wondering if a website sans blog is considered advertising. Does anyone know if it is? If so wouldn't it stand to reason that websites have to be submitted for review? In Florida (yeah, yeah, I know!) that doesn't seem to be the case.
Most condos have a clause in the declaration of condominium that grants the unit owner the "right to peaceful possession."
Here's a practical application of that right. My next door neighbor used to have her band come over almost every weekday evening to practice. It annoyed the heck out of neighbors for several units above, below and on either side of her. Talking to the owner resulted in her quoting the county noise ordinances which were not relevant as the property deed restrictions superseded the county rules. Eventually several of the neighbors brought a civil suit against her and we won.
I guess I have a lot to learn about/. moderation. I figured by posting as AC I could mod you Informative and still offer an opinion. Oh well. Live and learn. I still think your comment about AppPools is the best comment in this entire thread.
>>All in all, the U.S. government is not about to run out on money any time soon...
Well, at least not as long as China and Japan have enough money to invest to keep us afloat.
I suppose someone will come along now and claim all that foreign investment is good for our economy. I'd counter by stating it would be great if we didn't actually need the money to fund our everyday activities.
My personal preference is to spell it as two words. I just wanted to point out that alternative spellings do exist even if they're not popular.
As for letting Google be the arbiter of what's right or wrong I think I'll pass. Google's a great search engine but I had the benefit of a good education and parents who took the time to teach me how to tell right from wrong all by myself.

That's a good idea. And it's basically what Application Hardening is in Kerio Server Firewall.
As an aside, not to you personally, I've had two Windows servers facing the Internet for a decade. I've never had a virus, worm, been hacked, or any of the other awful things people claim are an inherent part of running Windows. As I see it, any idiot can make any OS unsafe. And conversely, any knowledgeable, conservative, pragmatic person can make any OS safe!
Sure, but plenty of lawyers would happily sue for their 30% of the "actual" damages.
The punitive damages are, I guess, only part of the problem. If the award for damages is large enough I guess there will be lawyers willing to work on a contingency basis.
Not really, because many of these suits are brought by activists who can't solve their perceived problems legislatively.
Fair enough. I was wondering about this more than offering a solution.
Isn't the problem really exacerbated by the punitive damages? If those damages had to be given to a charity in toto wouldn't these lawsuits come to a halt fairly quickly? If the lawyer doesn't get his cut of the big award there won't be many lawyers willing to take on cases like this.

On the bright side at least I'd get her half of our inheritance. That should help assuage my grief and guilt!

Damn you, realmolo.
Yippie.
It's even more difficult to say no to a country that keeps the US from going bankrupt by not continuing to subsidize our national debt.

User Agent Switcher 0.6.7 works fine in Fx 1.5.
I often make use of the local Hampton Inn to house visiting friends and relatives.
Their door cards contain three sets of apparently random numbers.
Two of those three numbers show up on my invoice. One is the account number for the current visit, and the other indicates the TTL for the card.
I assume the third number matches the code in the door the card is assigned to.
Despite how innocuous the information is I prefer to keep the cards because they come in handy as a resin spreader for a hobby of mine.

Is fruit an adjective or a noun? Is flies a noun or a verb? Is like a verb or an adjective?
I'm not sure what it means but the grammar checker in MS Word didn't have a single problem with those sentences.

Sorry to drift a bit OT.
What if you charged for the WiFi access by the hour and gave the customer a free coffee with each purchase?
I can't find a link but IIRC the "Have a nice day" smiley guy never patented his idea.
