A ridiculous and obsolete state law. It's unfortunate that a few people will get caught up in this before the appropriate precedents and inevitable consensus is built. Here it is: Unsecured = Access is OK. State legislators, go fix your laws.
I was wondering what I was gonna do with my peanut-butter-powered horse launcher.
Lay siege to the Babylonians? Department of Homeland Security will contact you shortly.
If all banks adopted a text to use at the top of all correspondence with commonsensical instructions (1. Don't respond to this email or any bank email. 2. Don't click on any links in this email or any bank email. 3. Type in the URL 4. etc etc), it'd go a long way towards stopping the phishing problem. I'm thinking something in black text in a white text box, like the cigarette warnings or nutritional information on food packaging. Over time customers would come to expect such text on any email correspondence, and fraudulent emails without it would stand out. Phishers would respond by adding the standardized text to their own emails and thus help ensure their own demise.
Just a thought.
Even if everyone stops spending money on Creative products, and it won't matter. Sure, they'd have to trim down their product line to nothing, eventually, but a shell company and lawyers can subsist for a long time on nothing other than infringement lawsuits.
Kind of like a cockroach living off the oil in your fingerprint, if you think about it.
Can someone explain to me why it's a bad thing if random linksys (say, #3 of the 6 I can see) knows one of their neighbors (my... roommate) frequents sexponies.com? Ok so they know, now what? What's the worst case scenario? Isn't internet traffic 86% pr0n anyways?
I like have the extra Google text box so that I can retain the search term to facilitate parallel searches over several tabs. It also reminds me of what I started looking for in the first place once I end up distracted by http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/. Hooray for anti-ADHD search boxes!
I'm sure you're right, I've been a profligate spender as well (not on your particular examples, but conceded). What I object to (and may have not well articulated) is the use an extravagent expenditure to classify oneself as unique (ie, not 'average' or 'typical'). I'm all for your fundamental uniqueness, but I don't like to think that anyone gets there by lavish consumption, especially of a consumable. Cheers to durables! Or something.
because god knows you can't have an 'experience you share' with friends and beers. the subcontext here regarding the 'average' or 'typical' person is irritating, though, the fool being parted with their $1000 per bottle is more than enough comic humor to compensate. share the wealth, oh ye with too much.

Everytime I hear the The The's Armageddon Day in that commercial for Charles Schwab or maxi-pads or whatever it is, I die a little.

BS & a Masters for $100,000? In Oklahoma maybe...

Well, Disney's market cap is $67+ billion. Kinda hard to buy influence there.
How is parent flamebait? This is the only funny post Slashdot has today. Someone send this guy some coupons, all will be well.
MySpace has taught more kids CSS than all of us combined.

In context, looks like he meant 1 bulb (per household), not 1 buld (amongst all you bastards). Poor writing, but not absurdism.
And Ernest Borgnine?

iPods can play wav.
When you find love you've found love. What can I say.

Is a joke still funny on the 100,000th telling?

Yes. Also ironic that the same thing happened last week when it was Farked. Slashdot is 8 days behind a boobie site?
Songs for the iPod cannot be played on other hardware. It's a known fact, from the Newspaper.
