Given some of the people that I work with, and many people that I know, people like to know two things.
How fast will something download, which is needed in bytes, not bits.
How much faster is this than that.
Ask five people around you, how long does it take to download a five meg file. Then remind that it's 1.544 megabit, then remind them it's about 192k. Well, that's how I do my comparison. Sorry if you didn't like it.
Can't IP Chains do that? I know it can certainly filter the from here or to there packets. But, I thought you could also have it filter through your own functions. If so, that could drop what you need. I just haven't used IP chains in a few months.
AOL gives away DVD cases, which seem like fun. (Though I miss the free floppies.) It sounds silly, but maybe you could sell advertising space on DVD cases.
Actually, I almost read it that way. I laughed when I saw 'wend' on slashdot. Being its not something everyone would know, I posted it as "no score +1 bonus". Hmm, poll topic: While, Until, Loop, Wend, Goto.
Archaeologists works with millions of years, and the government works with millions of dollars. If something were found to be thousands of years older, or costs thousands of dollars more, it wouldn't be worth reporting. I guess the sheer greatness of these numbers overwhelms us so, that the effect is completely lost, as we couldn't possibly fathom it anyway.
appears to be working just fine as it wends its way outward toward Saturn
Should have said: appears to be working just fine while it basically wends its way outward toward Saturn" Otherwise, you'd get a Wend without While error.
case has transferred a significant amount of power from the States to the Federal Government power from the States to the Federal Government
Are you sure about that? The question was about a constitutional right given to the state's legislature. Article II Section 1, paragraph 2, Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to...
I don't necessarily agree that the case should have been brought to the Supreme Court, but I don't think their ruling on it usurped any power.
The best place to hide, is out in the open, because none would expect to find you there. If you go into a good hiding place, people will search harder and harder until they find you.
Similarly, when trying to keep people away from doing something, banning them will only make them work harder. Finding someway to let them get what they want easily, though still in some way keeping to your principles, would work better.
Take for example the movie and music industries. Keeping VHS, recordable CDs, or tapes away from people would never work, so they allow it but use copy protection of some sort. Had they just banned them, they would be used anyway.
The IOC needs to let people have some things, just offer more to their paying TV advertisers instead of cripling and not adding.
The document admits the moves are controversial and could clash with the Human Rights Act, which gives people a right to privacy, European Union law and the Data Protection Act, which protects the public against official intrusion into private lives.
We admit we're doing the wrong thing, and not honoring our citizens, or the acts that we pass..... but its for your own good. Do politicians ever really care?
I think it's this thing called Windows, I heard about it when playing XBill. It seems to take over your computer and spit out the word "Microsoft" all over the place. Microsoft gave a half answer to it, called FORMAT.EXE and even there own version of FDISK, but they also encourage people not to use it.
It just seems a shame that these satelites are being deorbited. Someone should start a public fund to keep them up there. Isn't there some commercial interest?
Whether for licenses or not, this seems to be more an issue about record keeping. They didn't so they had to pay. Recordkeeping is a good thing, hopefully people learn something from it.
That's why there is a point system in the US, 12 points, and you can't drive for a while. What about a poor person driving, should we not charge him at all?
Sheesh, talk about punative damages. Imagine if your stock falls between the time they evaluate you at the time you pay. Maybe that's why Linux is so safe, Bill Gates wouldn't dare go to Finland.
The switch in price is useless. There is so much that needs to be thought about.
For example:
In December components go up in price.
After December components go down in price.
There are special products such as hard drives of odd sizes, look at pricewatch.com for many anomalies.
Catastrophies such as fires or floods wipe out storehouses in other parts of the world that bring prices up.
Economic difficulties haves cheap parts from countries flood the market beinging prices down.
Standards can make or brerak a product.
Price can't tell you how good something is, or even garantee its future, unless you look in the long run over many similar products. Such as memory, but keep watching as the standard moves, EDO got cheaper until SDRAM took over, then PC100, etc... Overall Memory was over $40 a meg just a few years ago, and is now closer to a half-dollar.
There are certain things that can be pointed out, overall after December prices fall, but do you really need a graph to show that?
If you're looking for day to day prices, so many stores vary, it's hard to show a graph of that. You just have to follow it yourself.
That is nice. They'll have a central place with all the privacy policies. That gives a central place to get information on their policies and a central place to complain to. Noone can say it not their job, or push you off by saying that they'll look at it. I hope this works out well.
Knowing root on someone's machine, that just takes all the fun out of it. A number of people I know log in as root to their own boxes all the time, out of sheer laziness, so they won't have to su later. I wonder if they'd even know the difference.

After the bacteria clumps all the unwanted materials, how do you get them out?
A T1 is approximately 190 kilobytes a second. This would be approximately 12.5 megabytes a second, over sixty times faster than a T1.
AOL gives away DVD cases, which seem like fun. (Though I miss the free floppies.) It sounds silly, but maybe you could sell advertising space on DVD cases.
Half sounds like a lot until you realize its only about ten people. The headline makes it sound so bad, when it really isn't.

I keep hearing in my head, "Humpback whales learn a new song - Doo da doo da", to the tune of "Camptown Races".
I won't install RealPlayer because of their non-recognition of this thing called privacy. Anyone got this in another format?
Too bad I don't live in California.
I used the Anonymizer Dialup service for a while. I was impressed at how good it was. Quality, privacy, and speed, very nice.

That's an oxymoron. They'll encrypt it until they're asked by the LEA to decrypt them. Do you really think they won't comply with Carnivore?
Defender was an awesome game. Why else would I have played it for 6 hours straight. I'm sure it's now good now, but then, cheap graphics, who cared?
