How about you never use the email address provided by your ISP? Web portal email works much better, and it will always be there as long as the portal is.
Also, never use work email for anything outside or work. You will not have access to it when you no longer work there.
Oh, I do still have a msn email account even though I stopped my msn dial-up account years ago so some isps do provide the service even if you no longer pay them. I think it only still exists since it was just re-branded hotmail.
We both hold different views on language. As it is you appear to value rigid definitions while I'm more open to change in language.
Although the argument I made may not have moved you, it was not based on ignorance. I know that "a lot" is the proper way of putting it, a forum though is not quite a proper venue and therefor I would place more value on usage.
From my perspective you are just as ignorant as I am from your perspective.
I'm sure I can find plenty of resources that claim that ain't is a word and I am sure I can find plenty of resources that claim that ain't is not a word. Definitions change over time and what is considered an informal word today may tomorrow be a formal word.
There is a clear separation of definition between alot and "a lot" in usage. I could care less what is taught, what matters is how it is used.
My main point being that this is such a fine hair to split that it is pretty out there to state quote "PLEASE be advised that "a lot" is two fucking words."
PLEASE be advised that "a lot" is two fucking words.
Out of all the piddly ass shit that spelling nazis complain about I would have to say that bitching about alot has got to be up there.
It is used enough in popular culture that it might as well be its own word at this point, just because you can break it in to two words doesn't mean its has to be that way. Are you going to complain about into also?
My take on it in a more contemporary way is that we are allowed to have guns so that we can assassinate political leaders. Now obviously if one assassinates a political leader you would be charged with murder or treason or just plain dead.
Why is that my take on it? Well, we aren't exactly allowed to have any weapons that would be effective at fighting the US military so its not like we can exactly revolt. Since the second amendment was put specifically for revolt then assassination would be the modern approach.
This take on it though supports the US restricting military grade weapons, whether that be assault rifles or artillery. All one needs is a good hunting rifle and a good scope, I doubt those two things are ever going to be outlawed.
Not too worried about not going AC on this, its not the first time I have posted this.
It will either not work because the guidelines they use will be too lenient to actually catch any piracy. (this would be the case if this is purely done to appease stockholders)
OR
It will not work because the guidelines are too strict and there will be too many false positives.
No one really cares that Microsoft is trying to stop piracy of their products, they just don't want to be a false positive.
And here I thought that Mark got hired to turn Windows Vista into Windows 7. ( I have no idea, but it was my thought at the time that they bought the best kernal hacker out there to redo Vista. )
Glad to see that not only are Marks old free tools still free, but that Microsoft is allowing new tools of his to be free also. Very un-microsoft of microsoft.

If the attacker has this much physical access to your system/data then you've lost LONG before the TPM chip failed.
Yes, such as if the computer was stolen. I don't know much about TPM, but I would hazard a guess that one of the selling points would be to keep information secure even if the computer it is in gets stolen.
Corn ethanol is over two orders of magnitude more land-intensive than solar thermal.
You'll make your point better if you don't bring up the worst possible case. Corn ethanol is only done for political purposes because it makes no economical sense.

Hard to kill people by providing bad cable service, but they did their best.
They now have their goal.
You may have seen their board of directors.
They are often featured on the Dish Network commercials.
Or SBC
Conglom-O is a good fit for AT&T Classic though.
It makes it harder to identify the problematic company.
Your friends may talk shit about Comcast, but they have no idea how good Xfinity is, but damnit they have gotta be better than comcast.
I believe that is the line of thought.
From what I understand it targets via sound.
Reminds me of the Goodwill computer store, but bigger.
Wonder if Slashdot would run a story on me checking out a flea market?

Alot and a lot are also used differently.
alot = many
a lot = a lot, where lot can mean many things, a lot can mean a parcel of land while alot always means many.
Oddly enough though, Thermite is completely legal to purchase.

Let me know when you can buy an RPG at your local gun store. Or perhaps some high explosives? Shit man, even fertilizer is restricted.
I've been wondering when the US government will get around to outlawing primers which would totally gut the 2nd amendment.

Ethanol from cellulose based waste looks promising. Always good when a waste stream can be turned into a productive product.

Bio-diesel will probably be bigger than ethanol though.
