Does anyone else plan to do this? Is there a slip of paper in your deposit box at the bank with websites, account names and passwords?
Why yes, in fact, there is!
And imagine their surprise as my offspring open up my safe deposit box only to find a piece of paper with my Slashdot login & password and a note about trying to only post comments that are informative, insightful, interesting, or funny.
People want more specific information about their various interests. No longer do they just surf the web for stories that corporate entities write, they want to hear from REAL people and REAL opinions.
People are tired of being force-fed information that they may or may not deem useful and have no way of responding to that information.
Blogs and related ventures will be much more popular than corporate-only websites, and that is a good thing indeed.
Well I agree it is probably not likely to happen, but if it is a possibility to do so, who says you can't? And, if it is such a problem, they can change their fee structure, but don't penalize the user who is doing everything they are entitled to do under the agreement.
The power of the American dollar is exactly what you paid a fee for.
For a 30th Anniversary surprise, this is kind of a letdown.
I thought they might release the fastest Apple computer ever, a larger iPod, or even a totally new product altogether. But I guess we have to settle with Boot Camp Public Beta - hooray.
From the FAQ:
Why?
We were initially inspired by Daniel Horn's Obfuscated V contest in the fall of 2004. I was greatly impressed to see how even a short program to simply count characters in a text file can be made to fail, and fail only on one specific day.
The longer answer is that my research interests are in covert behavior: detecting it, and getting past people who try to detect it.
The prize is $100.00, I think it should be more IMHO.
Why is this scored as redundant? I think this person's on to something.
I think it was marked redundant because I didnt read CRCulver's post above mine, which said put the marathon at the beginning of each podcast. I think that a shorter commercial would be better, we'll just have to wait and see what NPR decides to do.
Thanks for your support though. I will happily take any donations you would like to make, and will send you a mug and a t-shirt if you give me at least $120 (which you can easily spread out over the year at $10 a month;)
Putting a very short advertisement at the beginning of the Podcast is an obvious solution to this problem. NPR already as 'brought to you by' segments between their shows anyway, so what is the difference? This would help pay for their costs and 5 seconds is not so long that it would be annoying, so everybody wins.
First of all, Blockbuster sucks, they 'settled' their class action lawsuit for overcharging for late fees by offering about 3-4 free rentals as payment. That is unfair. They made millions from these late fees and then when they were found to be scamming, they just offered some free rentals, big deal...we never saw that late-fee money again.
Netflix needs to stop staggering movies for frequent-renters. Just because someone can take full advantage of their 'all-you-can-rent' policy, doesn't mean they should be penalized for it. Netflix already gains from those who don't return their movies regularly, so why should they care if some rent and watch a new movie every day? Just charge more per month or get rid of the policy.
After much "consultation," through antenna probing, touching and more, the cockroaches divided themselves up perfectly within the shelters. For example, if 50 insects were placed in a dish with three shelters, each with a capacity for 40 bugs, 25 roaches huddled together in the first shelter, 25 gathered in the second shelter, and the third was left vacant.
Now from this, we can deduce that the cockroaches, after armageddon, will choose to live in mansions and luxury apartments, and stay clear of public housing.
Funny thing is, the one or two times I've spoken to him in person I've walked away going, "Now there's a guy with his head on straight."
Honestly, I don't know the guy. I was just writing an article summary.
I think that he might have treated you a bit better than the rest of the 'money-grubbing' world, realizing that you are not a threat to his interests.
Business Week sent a reporter to TechTrain's ethical hacker training camp, where, for $4,300, participants spend five days working towards ICECC's 'Ethical Hacker Certification.'
As opposed to the 'Unethical Hacker Certification' where companies pay you $43,000.00 or more to stop disabling their websites.
TiVo co-founder Michael Ramsay testified that he showed EchoStar executives the TiVo product and pursued a licensing deal with them, but that a deal was never struck even though EchoStar began selling its own DVRs that used technology very similar to TiVo's.
Lesson Learned: Do not show greedy executives what technology you are working on, or they will steal your idea and change it just enough to sell it legally for themselves.
Brash, outspoken, and frequently insulting father of 6-year creates open source program 'JBOSS' and makes money by supporting it. Celebrates by going out with coworkers, consumes beer and strippers. Criticizes others for a cynical profit motive, but appears to have one of his own. Inspired by the Matrix, but ironically, people don't like him.

The wooden case is excellent! My choice for overall best case.

If that was true, no one would watch TV anymore.
TVs don't have keyboards, so there isn't any way to interact with them.
is a risk to your customers and a risk to your business," says Microsoft.
Well as soon as you install Windows, there is a risk of being attacked and infected. So the risk is about the same.
So what happens to you if you say FU to the RIAA and refuse to pay? I am wondering if any poor college students just refused outright.
Do you go to jail? Do you have your house sold at auction?

LOL got me there, I don't listen to NPR podcasts, can you tell? ;)
If not, you need to clean it up!
Code cleanliness is next to Dev godliness.
Dood, you can't seriously expect them to

I believe the article is right, we can not let the dolphins free!
Too late, they already left, and they wanted me to tell you, "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

P.S. Frank DeFord had a great segment about A-Rod today.

found that 34 percent of respondents were not interested in using Linux.
66% are using or are somewhat interested?
So that's a good thing.
The HAL mission was deemed a success for the simple fact that the mountainclimbers were wearing full face masks all the way up and back.

Yes, I believe the famous last words were, 'It's a trap!'

They did not have an automated process to wipe and rebuild the systems, so it became a burden. They had to design a process real fast...
...so they just called in the Borg to fix it, and everyone lived happily ever after.
