Good point. A real terrorist doesn't show signs of distress, because he doesn't consider his actions immoral. He thinks killing IS the moral thing to do.
I'm getting all kinds of calls for openings along the northeast I-95 corridor. If you can't find work in California, maybe you can move to the opposite coast?
I use googlegroups. I'm limited to about 30 posts per half-day. Even if I wanted to spam the Usenet, I don't know how I would get around that barrier. 60 posts is not what I would call spamming (i.e. thousands of messaages).
True I could create multiple accounts, but google shuts-down accounts that share the same IP address.
If the.bin groups are the problem, why not simply block those groups while still keeping the discussion groups alive? That seems the obvious solution.
I've been reading rec.arts.tv since 1987, and certainly have no plans to stop now. It's the one place where you need not worry about a crazy Sysop censoring your opinions.
(1) The parents of this student should say, "Fine; you don't want our daughter? We'll send her to a private school, or a neighboring public school."
(2) The daughter, immediately after receiving her diploma, should immediately put her Parody Myspace back onto the web. At that point she will be out of the principal's reach, and can speak freely all that she desires.
I think that local college groups are going the way of Electronic BBSes. When the ISPs came on the market and started offering free email, webspace, et cetera, it eliminated the need for local BBSes. Mine died a quick death.
I suspect the same is true for local college services, although they still might be needed to do "Customer Support" for the in-dorm connections.
It's based on a 300-year-old mechanism. Of course it's loud. Back then making the "grasshopper mechanism" work at all was a challenge; quieting was not important (especially on-board a ship).
The world would be a better place with fewer car dealers. As the current credit collapse shows, Americans are already buying more stuff than they should (average debt == around $150,000).
In the long run, it's cheaper to "try before you buy". I've bypassed wasting my money on a lot of trash via using this model.
If I come-across something I genuinely enjoy, like MicroProse' Pirates or 24, then I'll buy it for the sole purpose of supporting the wages of the writers, actors, and staff that created the article.
My post was incorrectly labeled a troll, but I consider it an accurate observation. Most accidents I've seen on the Baltimore-Washington section of I-95 were caused by people my own age (young drivers). Most of the "aggressive drivers" who zig-zag through traffic at 80 miles an hour are also that same age.
The government should look at the statistics and target the REAL problem (ages 16-to-35) who have the highest rate of accidents.

Precisely. Which is why I signed-up for the 750kbit/s service. I figured even if I bought the "upto 3000k" service, my Peer-to-Peer downloads would still be throttled down to around 750, so why pay two-to-three times as much? This way I only pay $15 a month.
There used to be a time when sites were designed for a 28k phoneline modem. Site images were run through image compression software to shrink them from 50k downto 5k (via reducing the color palette). Videos only loaded upon *user request* rather than automatically.
Today web designers are (mostly) lazy. They throw-up images that are 50-100k in size when they could be optimizing them downto 5-10k. And instead of small animated GIFs, they use gigantic flash videos (imdb.com is the worst in this respect; it's nigh-impossible to view over a phone line modem).
Webmaster have become bandwidth hogs, when if they just took a little time, they could shrink most images/ads to one-tenth current sizes.
But if you do not oversubscribe, you'll have a smaller customer base, and then you'd either have to charge $100 a month to cover the increased expenses (per user). Or set realistic speeds of 100 kbit/s for a $15 a month rate; 500 kbit/s for $30 a month rate, because your company will have slower backbone connections.
I suspect the phone-lined-based ISPs will be the last to fall. As long as your phone still works, you should be able to still connect to AOL or Netscape, even after the cable, FiOs, or DSL routers have stopped working.
The website is working, but it's not answering my most-important concern... the question that could ultimately sink-or-swim my future educational choice:
- Which school has the most coeds wearing nothing but bikinis?
I imagine it's someplace like Hawaii or Miami, but some independent verification (with photos) would be nice.
Commodore 64 with cartridge-based GEOS. Loads in 1/2 a second. ----- Pen-and-paper. No loading required.;-)
As you can tell, I like the older proven technologies versus the newer junk (cough, vista) that takes an eternity. (Another idea: Cellphone-based editor; those bootup rather fast.)
In my experience it's not the old drivers who are "hotdogging" and zig-zagging through traffic, and endangering everyone on the highway:
It's the young people who are impatient, and think they are racers instead of drivers.
The older people are more laidback and sedate and just calmly stay in their lanes. The highest accident rates are for people 16-35. Perhaps THEY are the ones who should be targeted for additional, stricter tests, and lose their licenses. Stop harassing the elders who are actually the most-experienced/safest drivers on the road.
I've used Wiki to discover what stations are within reach of my antenna, and stupid Nielsen erased it. I hope this results in fewer viewers watching, and a backlash against the Nielsen company.

I like snow. :-)

Don't set your browser to auto-load PDF files. (Or any other file for that matter.) Download it first; scan it; then open it externally.
Instead of India, why not move to the Northeast U.S. or Maritime Canada? Lots of open jobs here. Companies will hire almost anybody.
(For now anyway; who knows how the recession will affect the future.)

I think people (meaning those rejecting college applications) need to stop being so uptight.
I drink beer. So what?

This movie was made in late 1984, prior to the N64. Although I suppose it's possible they copied the Pac-mania 3D game.
I thought it was a good film, although it would have worked better as an episode of Outer Limits. 3 hours was just too darn long to stretch the story.
Flaw-

No.
Getting paid just $10 an hour (post-tax) makes $10 seem like a lot of money. I'd rather leave work an hour early on Friday & go enjoy life.

I have copies of Freeway, Fishing Derby, and Kaboom in my emulation folder (as do most other classic gamers). I hope they don't come after us.

When the people rose-up against the Polish government in 1990, the people won by sheer force of numbers. Don't say a government can not be overthrown.
In Switzerland everybody own a gun (armed militia).
And yet they have one of the lowest violent crime rates.
