They've upped my most ancient account (I think I got it within a week of hotmail opening) to 250 megs. Another account that I got a couple of weeks after that still shows 2 Megs.
One of the things I would be really interested in if I choose to become a member is something like the google zeitgeist. It could show things like browsers used to connect, number of hits by time of day, OSes used to connect etc. The google Zeitgeist in a way is a snapshot of what the google searchers are most interested in at a given point in time. A similar system for slashdot could be a very interesting snapshot of the geek/nerd community.
From the story it is clear that it isn't IP replacing Avian carriers as it is VHF radios replacing avian carriers. The major use of these pigeons was during times of natural disaster when power and communications links are down and using computers during that would be highly unlikely.
At my undergrad institution, a prestigious technical university, we had login names based on our student numbers, a number like n4026001 etc. A friend of mine wrote a simple script to finger all accounts in succession and then tried to log in with a password with minor variation of the individual's name. It wasn't too long before he had logged into more than 50 accts out of some 3000 or so accts.
Even more surprising was how many people would run untrusted binaries coming from friends. A person wrote a simple script which would give how compatible would you be with a person if you typed in your name and her (almost always her)name. The only problem was it did more than that, it would email a copy of you and you crush to the creator of the binary. Before long he had a huge database of who was after whom. Even more pathetic was people trying variations of their name or the girls name when the script said they were incomaptible.
Do you possess more than a single bit in your brain? A company, especially one as large as Disney, can do really good things and pursue totally evil objectives simultaneously. What I believe one should do is encourage the good side while trying to contain the bad side. Yes, encouraging the good side might mean that the bad side will be encouraged too and vice versa. There are no easy solutions to the dilemma but looking at everything in a black/white fashion isn't the right approach either.
Its obvious that the women readers of the said magazine have the hots for German Linux developers and they tried to show their interest in them. True it wasn't in the best possible way but they did give a signal which the Suse guys completely misinterpreted. Sad.
It would have been better if they named themselves Copyright Royalty Arbitration Panel(CRAP). Or maybe this is more fitting as they CARP a lot about CRAP
And if you call in the next 5minutes you can have the whole set for only $19.99 each!! Yes, $19.99 only! So pick up those phones and call 1-800-4GUTWAR now!!
I have been a long time (signed up for it about a week after it opened) hotmail user so i cant change that easily now. And I hated it that after every time i signed out it would send me to that crap and heavy MSN.com page. Now I can avoid it cleanly. For all those people trying to get around the restriction, in the name of everything holy, WHY?
Will libraries (already very opposed to closed-list filters) accept this? Maybe; but certainly making sure that their cliental understand filters are not perfect and that because it is self-rated, some sites might slip through. But this will give libraries better options to have filtered computers in the kids section, and unfiltered ones for adults to use.
My local library , a really good library in every other way, uses filters, and once i found that for some reason slashdot was banned. I had to complain to at least 5 people before they allowed slashdot. The reason they gave me was the block list was not decided by them.
After all, if the NSA can probably defeat any encryption if they have reason to suspect they need to. It's nearly impossible to screen the entire Muslim/Islamic community for suspicious rug orders that may or not be instructions.

Morphing is the crime of attaching one person's face to another person's body. This is an incredibly popular pastime in India with people attaching the faces of actresses to nude bodies. Since feminine purity is a rather highly sought virtue in women a woman whose face has been attached to a nude pic would lose her social standing. To see an example of such pics you could go to desibaba.com

So you can have electricity without alternating electromagnetic fields?
Of course, and we do all the time, from cells and batteries.
You can't have electricity without producing electromagnetic radiation.
Yes, you can, and we do all the time.

Bah, if I can get Step 1 completed, I won't bother killing Microsoft, I'll buy myself a small third-world country. :P
You could buy a first world country for much less than that. You just have to buy the politicians and they are going pretty cheap these days.
