I don't get it. Why do most places feel they need to change the way something looks or feels? Microsoft did this with Hotmail. You use a new style that is confusing to the users that want things to just stay the same.
I am all for it but I wish they would have the option to go back to the old version when it is released. Some people just don't like change.
* Foreign products become more expensive to American consumers, also helping with trade deficits.
Did you ever think that maybe the majority of consumers buy foreign products?
How is the increase in price a good thing? Rather than paying 10k for that Honda Civic will i not be paying 15k?
But it [a through-the wall sensing device in development] will also show whether someone inside a house is looking to harm you, because if they are, their heart rate will be raised. And 10 years from now, the technology will be much smarter. We'll scan a person with one of these things and tell what they're actually thinking.'"
Ok this is somewhat off topic but it has to do about Lie detectors.
A long time ago my brother worked for Electronic Boutique (AKA EB)
One of the employees stole some money from the cash register and it was pinned on my brother and some other guy.
Well funny thing is they both recieved Lie detector tests and failed. As more and more evidence came in they found the other guy guilty and my brother innocent.
But EB was convinced that my brother took it or had some affiliation because of the lie detector. Now they didn't use that as evidence in court however the managers at EB had accepted those results.
Now on a personal note my brother wouldn't take the money. He is an honest hard working citizen and I just couldn't see him doing something like that, so I know it wasn't him.
But basically what I am getting at is the lie detector was not used in court however because of the results my brother lost his job there. They simply did not give him any more hours.
I see that as being unfair, but yeah...just thought I would share.
I believe that if you modify a core operating system or firmware in such a way that the manufacture doesn't want it...and try to sell it? I think you should not be able to do that.
Now modify it and re-distribute it without profit is another story.
But do you have the right to buy a computer with Windows installed...Modify Windows to work the way you want it to (Lets say remove DRM features) and re-sell it?
Cisco does have a utility that acts as a virtual router or switch for testing purposes. I forget what it is called but if I remember I will make sure to respond again.

http://torrentfreak.com/demonoid-shut-down-by-cria-070925/ we DO NOT know what actually happened. the CRIA is just a SPECULATION. the site is TEMPORAROLY OFFLINE
Yes the tracker is down, they are going through heavy maintenance, please wait patiently for it to come back up.
Jumba; that torrent freak article is completely false
there is NO evidence
and NO word from site staff, and i'm in contact with the TF dude right now
we're still waiting for the name of a CRIA rep for confirmation.
So you mean if a telemarketer calls...I can yell out Tubgirl and hope they never call back?
Yes I know they would have to be using the same phone service...but the thought is kind of funny.
Just don't have phone sex...

1. 3G
2. A good messenger client (Aim, MSN, ICQ)
3. Exchange connection for companies running Exchange Server.
But do you really think it will work that way?
Say that Civic is 15k
Do you really think that Ford will charge 12k?
No they will rack it up to be just below imports...say 14k.
So uhh...Can I have his stuff?
So basically....The thought police....
*sigh* nice troll. 4/10
Ah jeez there goes my Karma.
How many downloaded Adblock Plus right after that.
I wonder what the ratio of Firefox users to Adblock is.
Yeah but if everything was 100% white....and your looking for something not white....You should think even a spec would give a hint.
Why didn't they do this for James Kim? The CNET guy?

You may try looking it up though.
