There are a few good ad companies projectwonderful.com is one of the few ad servers i don't block simply because the webmaster using it has the power to reject ads they don't want on their site.
Their bidding system also usually keeps the same ad up for a good length of time with the webmaster being payed by time displayed not views/clicks/sales all of which invite fraud.
yea and waiting 5 min for firefox to load because it updated again when you want to check something that takes 30 seconds isn't annoying as hell course most of the new shit in firefox 3 annoys me and just like microsoft i can't turn the fucking "features" off
get flash cards make at least 2 full copies (3 is better) and do full 100% reads from all the cards at least twice a year or buy space with a major hosting company and store a copy there and have at least 1 copy on flash cards that you check regularly it's not the throw it in a drawer and forget for 10 years solution you want but that solution doesn't exist
except any store with semi decently trained staff will turn away opened PC game returns, defectives just get a new copy opened at the store and the old copy is simply thrown out it never gets back to distro
live in a duplex try to get the neighbor to agree to new siding my father gave up after 12 years and did his side now their mad at him because they can't get the same deal as they could have buying it with him
but all the good things in the update could have been added to the blade system or at least leave the blade system as an option for those of us that prefer it
Viable encryption would have to be universal with the source shared to allow all the server and client platforms to work together.
We are talking about governments with effectively limitless access to computer power versus encryption light weight enough to run transparently on a low end cell phone it wouldn't be hard to make the ISP capture the encrypted traffic and decode later at your leisure.
ISPs have been nothing but a bane on Usenet allowing idiots free access anyone who seriously uses Usenet for anything learns fast to get an account from a dedicated provider not the pile of incomplete shit most ISPs have.
Shit like this just says they have no idea how to do what they say they are going to do i remember reading an article a couple years ago proudly proclaiming the success of a 3 year investigation into providers of kiddie porn that resulted in 5 arrests come on anyone with some decent Google skills can probably find more than that in an hour
Mario (Mario Bros. series) for many years, Samus (Metroid) for quite awhile, "Doom guy" (DOOM) Cloud Strife (FF VII), Link (Zelda), Chrono (Chrono Trigger), Ness (Earthbound) and countless more
What do they have in common? None of them said a word many didn't even have text dialog but they all grabbed on to the player and didn't let go. Many set the benchmark for their genera. How long were FPSs called "DOOM Clones"? How many RPGs are not compared to the Final Fantasy series? How many people still think Mario when they hear about a platformer?
Voices in games are good. Voices in games are nice. However Mario, Link, and Samus did not become the Nintendo trinity and characters recognized by gamer and non gamer alike over 20 years after their debut because of a VA but because of solid game play and compelling stories.

wal-mart is not a common carrier and it's one of the largest single goods movers in the country

The gov could have always declared sovereign immunity and said we're doing it and we won't allow you to sue us to stop it.
