This would be so much more useful and immediately advantageous then these silly SETI and FOLDING@HOME projects that people are running.
I ran both of these for a while, but here's the thing about them, particularly SETI. It makes a lot more sense to do these calculations in 20 years, rather then now. The computing effort required compared to the available world computing power is HUGE, but it won't be nearly as much in 20 years given Moore's law. Why suck up all the electricity now, when what we do for the next 5 years I'll be able to run on my PDA in 20 minutes in 20 years?
Now, on the other hand, there's absolutely no use in predicting the weather in the past. Predicting the weather tomorrow is what is useful, and I'd be a helluva lot more likely to donate my computer to predicting the weather tomorrow then trying to find a signal from aliens that we won't be able to contact for 1000 years. I'm not against aliens and I fully believe that they're out there, but wouldn't someone's technology out there be 20 years more advanced then ours so that they would be able to run these scans 100,000 times as fast as we can today?
I wonder... Is there some "hacker code" out there that says if you are sending out a phishing email - you must misspell Yes there is. By mispelling [sic pun] a few words, you can confuse anti-spam filters that are looking for duplicate mass mailed documents or for specific words. Typical spamming programs will allow you to insert random chars (replace 1, l or ! for I) or will substitute some automatically.
No, misrepresenting would have been "Nuclear detonation devices shipped Taiwan according to Bill Gates" which I'm surprised didn't happen since the guys name is Robert Gates.
I don't really see how the new system is going to be any different then Amazon, other then they charge you ridiculous rates for listing an item an opening a store. Since amazon doesn't charge a listing fee, I'm going to take all my business there. They charge a higher closing fee, but you can offset this because you don't pay anything if your item "doesn't sell".
After the amount of bullshit that I've put up with from ebay over the last seven years, now that ebay has thrown me over a barrel, I'm really not sure why I shouldn't just cash out my ebay profile and screw a bunch of buyers over with shady deals. My feedback rating is so good that I can take about 300 negatives before I even hit 98%, I imagine I can cash around $30,000 dollars at $100 an auction by selling broken refurb crap as "New in box" and telling all the buyer to go screw themselves when they complain.
In short, the value of a buyer's feedback against the seller, has just been usurped. At first glance it would appear the opposite, that sellers now have lost something, but it's really the buyer's that are going to get goatsed' on this one in the long run.
"Also coming with SP1 but not in the current release candidate, we will also be including updates that deal with two exploits we have seen, which can affect system stability for our customers. The OEM Bios exploit, which involves modifying system files and the BIOS of the motherboard to mimic a type of product activation performed on copies of Windows that are pre-installed by OEMs in the factory. The Grace Timer exploit, which attempts to reset the "grace time" limit between installation and activation to something like the year 2099 in some cases."
You forgot about the big T. Taxes. You can write off the interest you pay on the house. This writeoff is probably more then you pay for rent.
And I got news for you. No one is going to spend more on upkeep of the house then they're receiving for rent. To paraphrase
"their upkeep" "my net mortgage" "your rent"
Get obsessed dude. Buy a $2000 honda and put every other cent into the most expensive house you can afford.
If anyone wants a copy of every u2 album every release in.mp3 on cd rom just send me your address. I'm burning 5 right now and I'm going to leave them at the bus stop.

Yeah, I've always loved stealing Microsoft software.

Reminds me of this post about "Killing's one Children" from Rob Fulop.
http://robfulop.com/blog/2008/04/14/killing-ones-children-lessons-from-fathom/
Rob Fulop was the programmer of Demon Attack for the Atari 2600 in 1982 and many other notable games over the years.
and the sooner the better.
It's all good until I flip my quantum qubit which causes the qubit in the cisco router to activate a module which peer review didn't even know about.
comcast will if you share too much.
How the fuck do you fail a field sobriety test from being stoned? And remember kids, don't roll and drive, roll then drive.
Which doesn't matter if it doesn't get to the user in the first place.
Where did I go wrong? The earth spins while the cable moves straight towards the center of the earth, which causes a wrap to the east.
Yah, I bet if even if I hang my bird feeder from that satellite the damn squirrels will still be able to get to it.

Comcast just quadrupled my bandwidth at no additional cost to me. No FUD here.
You can't prove there are more then 10,000 people on the internet. Most of them are rejects anyway.
Put it in a tin can, fill it with dirt, and place it in the bonfire for some good fun next time.

They're only talking about it now because they can't use them to pirate micro$oft cd's anymore

Ya gotta love the wording here:

The Life of Pi seems to think differently. Tigers like to be home. Maybe that's why he never went over the fence before?

You're high. If you took a hammer to your usb drive, they could still read the data off of it *without even entering the room*
