Let me know when you find a reliable way to... a) Charge for email b) Prevent unpaid mail from being sent c) Prevent botnets from sending 30 free messages then stopping for the day d) Prevent botnets from sending a ton of paid messages using financial info on the host computer e) Prevent spammers from setting up a mail server that charges for messages, repeating d) and then collecting all the money.
Hey, those theme rooms don't pay for themselves!;)
Actually, I think they were like only $40-$60 a night ($25 for a few hours), but I wasn't paying that much attention to the signs beyond getting a chuckle out of the pictures of the rooms... never actually stayed in one though, so maybe I misread the rates.
Every one of these that I've seen were single occupant only, and men/women had completely separate wings of the building at least, or often entirely separate floors. For double occupancy, there's plenty of "love hotels" to be found.:)
Yup - I stayed a couple nights in a capsule hotel back in March, and I'm a pretty standard Seattle-ite... My hotel was also somewhere around Shinjuku IIRC, however my cubby hole didn't look quite that nice. Only $25 a night in downtown Tokyo though, so ya can't knock that.
Not very. As I recall, quite a few folks got worked up about that as well. I don't say they are right, but they are consistent. Except Jack Thompson, who's nuts.
Probably was rated Troll because I know more than a few officers who will ticket cars going 5mph under the limit for obstructing traffic, reckless endangerment, unsafe driving, etc.
It's not "perfectly within your right" if doing so constitutes a hazard to others.
Side note - if anyone has to swerve back and forth to get around you, then you're blocking traffic - move right and get out of the way. If they want to speed, let them - it's not your place to stop them. Don't block traffic just because you feel entitled to dictate the rules of the road to other people.
Allowing either side to have too much power is bad - management gets too much power & they abuse the employees with the threat of unemployment. Take a look at the 1920's to see how bad it can get.
However strong unions result in the same employees abusing management. The business ends up overpaying for employees who have the same sense of entitlement and lack of willingness to work as the idiot in this article, which can have an enormously negative impact on the business & it's profitability. (Hint: If the business can't survive because of over-inflated labor costs, you're going to be every bit as unemployed as if they had just kept salaries in check and fired the unqualified or non-contributing employees)
A little bit of balance goes a long way - it's too bad unions and management both tend towards the extremes.
Wouldn't a password vault or encrypted text file on a non-networked pc be much simpler? (Not to mention more likely to actually be updated on a regular basis?)
So Google sponsoring and contributing to open source projects doesn't count because they haven't released *all* their changes?
I think they've given a lot to the open source community - not as much as they could have, but if they're not redistributing the software, then that's not exactly one of the requirements of the license either. You might fault them for not giving back more than they have, but I'd hardly call them freeloaders.
Real freeloaders are people like Google, who take, and then never contribute ANYTHING back, not even mailing list comments, but instead have their own internal world where everything occurs.
Long answer: Comcast just changes the QoS from Priority Best Effort to Best Effort. The worst you would see if a short delay in the responsiveness of your IRC session (most likely additional milliseconds of latency - no disconnection).
Since these servers & data would be a lucrative target for a worm, virus, malware, etc... it's probably also a good idea to have AV on the servers & storage systems just in case... although since most AV isn't proactive and just scans for signatures, I'd be a little suspicious of their effectiveness.

The solution to everything is education. It's a shame that the best solution simply doesn't work.
What do you mean? A properly applied LART works quite well! ;)
