Arguing which console is better is like arguing which color is better. An incredible waste of time, especially considering everyone knows the best color is black.
You sound like you are really trying to convince yourself that you are not jealous of the Xbox 360. Just admit it - you bought a PS3 and some of your friends have Xbox 360s.You have a secret love affair that you are trying to justify destroying in your mind.
Very true. Studies have shown that people want to be helpful and will give up information they shouldn't. And all good crackers know to attack the weakest link in the security chain - the user. The most complex lock in the world will not help you if someone hands the keys over to the "bad guys".
All one would have to do after a user's login credentials have been obtained is to get thier phone number, pick up the phone, call them, and say
"This is Mr. Soandso from &BANK NAME&. We have had a recent error in the code cards and would like to verify that you have one of the ones that is not a problem. Could you read line &LINE NUMBER& to me so I can check to see if you have a valid code list?"
Sure it is a little extra effort, but not so much that nobody would attempt it.
Why? As long as I got to where I was going I could care less how I get there. Why should people that have nothing to do with web development/design etc. care? I don't want to have to know everything about everything. I understand where you are coming from, but it doesn't change that fact that I don't care just because you do. I am not trying to be flippant, I honestly just don't give a rat's ass about standards as long as i can do what I need to do. Why do you think so many people still use IE when there are arguably better alternatives out there? I'll tell you - because it works, and most people don't care about standards.
As long as the page I want to see loads in my browser, no I don't. I don't do any web developing or anything related, so why should I care? Oh wait, then I would have yet another reason to bash Microsoft on Slashdot. Ok, I care a lot now!
I also don't know all the inner workings of a combustible engine, yet I still manage to get where I am going in my car. Amazing isn't it?
It has little to do with "more stoners walking about" and a lot more to do with the millions of dollars that are generated by the sale of the drugs. The guards can make a tidy sum just for "looking the other way" a few times.
Why restrain cops at all? Why not just let them murder anyone they think might be guilty of something? We would all be so much safer then. *rolls eyes*
Well, considering NT didn't have a defragmenter built-in to the OS, and a lot of NT servers had tape backup drives, it seems like a reasonable solution to me. The other option was buying third party defragmenting software. Why not use what you already have without having to buy anything else? Besides with the length of time some of the defrag programs would take to run, re-writing from tape could potentially be quicker.
That is why I said "his Dunkin' Donuts" and not "all Dunkin' Donuts".
And in all honesty, I bet most people don't have a clue how franchising works, and I would certainly disagree with statements that start out "Most people are smart enough", because in my experience, most people aren't smart enough.
But the real question is what kind of space elevator music will they play? I'm not sure if I can handle a day and a half straight of "Girl from Ipanema".
I think the owner may also have to prove damages - hard to prove that someone didn't stop in there entirely due to a comment posted on a web site. Now if it is discovered that the anonymous poster owns Ed's Donut Shack down the street, it would be an different case.

We were all wondering what happened to Dan Quayle!
And your sense of humor must have received it's pink slip long ago...
Wow. Now Microsoft is responsible for venomous mammals too. What a shocker!
Fail.

I follow the same guidelines, but unfortunately, we are in the minority when it comes to things such as this.

Or if he had millions of old SCSI drives - imagine a Beowulf cluster of these trees.

Why is that funny? That method will work on virtually all file systems.
I am the walrus! Goo goo ga joob!
Maybe if you took the time to explain how coffee is grown, how it is hand picked and roasted, etc. you would get the perfect cup of coffee from it.
Forget the cigarettes - they are taxed way to heavily on the federal and state level. Well, unless they "fell off a truck".

It would accomplish drawing national attention to the fact his Dunkin' Donuts is a shithole. Way to think that one through Zebulon!
Further evidence you are rocking a tin foil hat. Quite stylish I must say, but they will make you take it off for your picture.
If a simple action like smiling can make the facial recognition useless, I would suggest fixing the software, not banning smiles.
