So whats the big deal here? If you change the password etc then the problem is solved right? Ohhh thats right you're talking about people not READING the damn manual telling them what they need to do!
Well tell you what, tough. You didn't read, you didn't listen, then pay the consequences. It TELLS you that you need to change the password etc and what you should do. If you choose not to do it, then face the consequences.
See a Red Light means stop, if you choose not to obey that and get in an accident and get hurt, well sorry but you pay the consequences of your actions.
I hate being so negative sometimes but damn, there comes a time when even the Big red letters not the widespread panic across the news won't help.
Yes, I agree, the companies should make these things where you have to create a new password and username etc, but there's only so much they can do. B/c we all know that most people would leave the password field blank. I know this all to well as the CEO of my company has a blank password on his personal email addy.
Hopefully you'll get to read this one and hopefully it won't get modded down to oblivion.
Yes there are scanners out there that can work for you. I have a Canon DR-5020 which we just feed it a ton of paper and come back in a few and it's done. It can scan VERY quickly. PDF format would work just fine as well. It's the best option especially since it's hand written notes as well.
If this is a requirement which is going to be on-going then you will have to pony up the money and spend a few thousand. If you're not ready to do that, you may be in luck. Some places will lease it out to you and with that few hundred bucks I'm sure you can easily get a hold of one for about a week or 2.
Look up for people who do Document Imaging, and you should find a lot of business that come up. If you're in the washington dc area then maybe I can help you out quite a bit.
This pisses me off. Why do most slashdotters assume that just b/c you have an MBA you must be some evil hell bent individual?
I'm working on getting my MBA and that doesn't mean that I'm going to try to walk all over the other businesses and perform illegal activities. Amazing how you and many others assume that most MBA's are idiots and just out for money and will do anything illegal to get there. Remember it's the individual who makes the dumbass decisions, not just because the have a MBA, that's just something they did to help them get to that postion. It's their idiotic views on life, ie the person, who is screwing up, not some damn piece of paper labling them as an MBA.
Great...what a wonderfull place to be huh? A bit ironic isn't it? Being here on slashdot, if you're not part of the geek culture exclusively you get ostracized, at least lately it seems that way to me.
They're nice buildings but I just can't imagine the traffic they bring. Great now my mornings of taking a 15 minute drive to work, which is already 30 mins b/c of traffic, will now be about 45 mins. Lovely isn't it?
I guess the one good thing is my dad is doing a lot of the work for planning out the interior of the building. Some huge 3d plans are on his comp at home. Man those things he's built up are awesome!
Friendster is a really good idea. When a friend of mine sent me the link I thought it was another one of those dating sites. But it's really cool b/c you get to see who the friends of your friends are:)
Sure not everyone posts their real name etc, but who cares? Since it's amoung friends then we all know who it is. I guess the problem is if someone joins randomly and starts to "make" friends then yeah we have problems there.
But as always, there will be some sick bastards who try to screw up the system.
Obviously you don't realize that you CAN tell it not to do that. Hrmmm...lets see it gives you the option of what media files you want to associate with it, the icon locations etc. I actually WANT a way to control the way the app works, so if it puts something in the control panel I'm not to mad at that. Quicktime does the same thing and I'm happy for that. Makes less work finding where to control everything;)
The registry stuff is easily taken out. You're a techie right? Then you should know how to solve these issues. Ok so it sends you ads...I sure as hell have never seen any of it. Poorly configured fw on your part?
You know the more people give away for free the more others bitch about wanting more. They've gotta make a living to you know. I'm all for open source and they're taking a step in the right direction, they're not there yet, but getting there.
As far as I see it, Real Media is the best format for streaming. Why? B/c tell me which other app out there can compress as well, have such good protection on the streams AND be able to be viewed on the main OS's?
What about Qt? Hrmmm...linux client....nope none there.
You've got to be fucking kidding me. Pay a penny per mail? Do you realize how much mail is sent outa my server per day? Fuck I'm not paying a couple of hundred bucks for something I give away for free!
I host several mailing lists and several other individuals with personal email accounts. This is all in good fun and I make no money from it. They want me to now PAY?! FUCK THAT! How the fuck you gonna regulate it? If you start charging for emails you're gonna fucking make millionares of a lot of sick twisted fucks out there who are just waiting for this to happen.
I'd rather take the spam than pay for emails. The lesser of the two evils in this case is spam...what has the world come to.
Just as a follow up, it's called a Stock takeover. If you don't sell directly, then I'll just buy out all your shares and become the largest stakeholder.
I hate to troll a bit. I'm not one to defend MS, heck I bash them every chance I get. But what you said there was plain stupid. Sure more powerful hardware, yes you gotta have it or else it won't run properly. I just gotta point out that my leet celeron 266 is running just fine on XP for me to play NWN:)
But the fact implicated you have to buy a firewall software, or anti virus, or purchase office apps, or image manipulation tools, web dev tools and database software shows your ignorance to the subject. Just about everything you just stated is avaible for free, and not just free as in beer, but in speach as well.
You're starting to sound like someone who's been using MS OS's to long and are blind to see the things you need are right in front of you.
Don't wanna pay for virus software? AVG works well and is free. I reccomend that to anyone who asks. Gimp runs on windows, so does a whole bunch of office applications that you'd want. Free web dev tools? Umm last I checked there were a whole bunch and last I also checked you CAN run mysql on win32.
I'm not saying I support MS for all of their actions, but what I CAN say is I don't support people who go around speaking a bunch of crap.
Mod me down if you want because it seems like I defended MS. It will just prove that you don't think with an open mind.
Just to let you all know, TechTV's The Screen Savers, talked to people about modding the X-box and also stated that they are going to show you how to do it.
Seems to me that there is no problem doing that, but that site is OBVIOUSLY a site for people who pirate things. IF the DOJ was really pissy don't you think they'd have already cracked down on the linux mod for the Xbox? Trust me, they read slashdot and know about these things. There's at least ONE geek working there and they'd be able to provide such information if it were in some sort of violation.
There's no need to sugar coat this situation, we all know why that site was there and quite frankly I'm surprised it stayed in operation as long as it did. The fact that they decided to sell the modchips put them over the edge because they just crossed the realm into interstate commerce which falls under the federal system. This allowed the DOJ, a federal agency, to be able to come down on them.
No, we did have someone who decided to EAT a giant frog.
Lol, he was already drunk so no acting was necessary on his part to look stoned =)

A 1974 Review of D&D

As was said it is similar to a lan party.
However if you've ever played Taboo or any of the drinking games, or even doing charades, then it's very similar to that. You can have as much fun as you put into it. You are only limited by your imagination.
If you happen to have a good DM then you're gonna have tons of fun.
I play D&D ocassionaly, and a lot of the times it basically is a chance to just get together talk, and have fun. For an avg session that goes for about 6 hours, we only have about 2 hours of serious game time and the rest is just goofing off and having fun.
While this is true, here in Virginia I read up on the laws. Unless you're a salary worker who has a fixed amount of pay then you're required to pay the worker overtime pay when the number of hours worked in a one week period of time exceeds 40 hours.
I actually looked this up so I can show it to the project manager in case he ever gets antsy and not want to authorize me getting my overtime pay.
That we'll get to see some companies pick up the details of the patent and start producing CHEAPER trinitron crt's? That would be awesome since sony crts are expensive.

I can see it now, people sitting there typing away on their laptops and some Kite comes crashing down on them.
Yup, won't see that one coming. LOL
Plus w/ the Washington Monument closed off for a while, kinda limits you to just the Mall. Great there goes my commute. LOL

You know that sounds like something someone did in an HBO series. He made it think he was gay one week and then something else another week.
Hence the reason I just to my friend's cd's and I don't buy any that come from the RIAA's influence.
Foreign music rox!
Funny thing is how the porn industry generates more revenue than the box office!

Ummm, no.
They DON'T own DTV now, they just control ~34% of the stock. Sure they may be the largest stakeholders but by no means do they outright OWN it.
AFAIK Sky is owned by News Corp.
