1. Start tech company.
2. Hire lots of employees.
3. ???
4. Profit!!!
5. Hire more employees.
6. Steal their identity.
7. Profit!!!
8. ???
9. Go to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Not only did they have products and services to profit from. This guy squeezed $1 million out of his overhead!
No kidding... I worked as a fast food cook for about a year in high school...
If you wanna find out what your fries are cooked in, go check out the grease bin out by the dumpsters...
I guarantee that you'll not be eating McDonalds fries for a while after seeing what comes out of the frier once they finally change the oil.
Oh, it's pretty much just because IE sucks. I like my tabs, and my search box in firefox. And I like Thunderbird much better than outlook express. Though, I never deleted any shortcuts to outlook express. And I lied about deleting the IE shortcut, I was at work when I posted that and just looked in my startmenu... It's still in the programs list, but not on the start-pane.:)
I wasn't talking about tweaking settings as part of a security process. I was just trying to set up the mood up that I beat the shit out of my PC and everything about it.:D
I still don't buy this damn "Macs are safe, Windows machines are at risk" crap...
I've been on Windows machines for as long as my family has had a computer and still now that I am on my own.
I've played with Macs, messed around with Linux...
And with all the experience I've had with computers, I still don't see this stupid Windows == Dark Alley BS.
I install all kinds of random shit on my computer, surf the darker reaches of the web, and tweak things all to hell. And wanna guess how many things are wrong with my Windows installation? Zero viruses and maybe 5 or 6 latent cookies... I have no firewall installed (Microsoft's is disabled and so is 'Security Center'). I have avast! virus scan installed, but it is disabled most of the time. Mind you, the first thing I do after installing Windows is delete shortcuts to IE and install Firefox.
Now, I don't know what you were doing that you had to worry about exploits and felt like you were going to get mugged by your computer; but I never have felt like that when I ran around the 'net on my PC.
I will say though, Macs are nice. I gutted a G5 case and installed my PC components in it!
WMP 10 doesn't even let you choose a bitrate lower than 128kbps...
I just checked the options and the MP3 bitrate selector varies from 128 to 320.
Go look next time before you spread your asscheeks.
Don't you love when a prof posts the assignments and solutions at the same time, but only hides the link to the solution until after the assignment is due?
I can't tell you how many classes it was possible to simply change Assignment1.doc to Asignment1_sol.doc in the URL to get the homework solution.
They made it so you can filter what is sent from your profile, but did they also think to add a filter for what comes into the news feed on your home page?
I'd much rather be able to filter the news feed on my home page rather than have more controls on what gets broadcast. That way I could clean up the useless crap that I don't need to know and not have to wait for all of my friends to take action first.
They already have controls on who can or cannot view your profile. All they need to do is extend this 'privacy' setting to your outgoing news feed items. With just a small tweak everyone could get their illusion of privacy again.
Simple:
1) Tag each news feed item. ( 'About Me Edit', 'Wall Post', 'Picture Change', etc.)
2) Add a form to the profile settings to let you choose which items you want to allow to be sent to other people's news feeds.
3) Now, extend that and let people filter their incoming news feeds.
4) Make everyone happy.
5) ???
6) Profit.
I personally like the news feed. I don't stalk my friend's profiles very finely so I miss 99% of the changes anyone makes. The news feed compiles all of the information into one neat list for me to review when I login. It would be nice to be able to filter the information a bit though.
So far, none of my old phones have proven themselves capable of saving my life should they be between me and a 7.62x39 FMJ round. (I call it the inanimate hero test.)
Hell... screw all that sun bull shiat.
Just find out how many gallons/liters(whatever your favorite volumetric unit is) of ethanol can be produced per bushel of corn.
Find out how many bushels of corn you can produce on average in Iowa or some other corn producing state.
Find out how much energy is produced from the oxidization of ethanol vs. oil.
Now you should be able to compare the ammount of energy in a barrel of ethanol vs. a barrel of oil and solve for the number of acres you'd need to farm to produce enough corn.
And don't forget to preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
index4.html for the FAQ page? WTF... That's like naming all of your variables var1, var2, var3,... It always pisses me off when I try to debug something like that...
IMO, the '1-click buy' is at best trademark-able and not even close to patentable. That thing should have been stuffed back in Amazon's mouth. (And besides, if you don't store cookies between sessions it takes like 3-4 clicks to buy.)
It makes sense to trademark it atleast because then they could be the only ones to call it '1-click buy' but someone else could come with their 'Uber-low-click super duper buymagigger buttontron!' and we wouldn't have to deal with this retardedly obvious patent crap.
I don't know about you... but I think they should have put a roof on that trailer... Last I heard, water was bad for computers and I'm sure the highway speed winds weren't good for the magnetic tape reels.
And dude! What's with the half door with no latch? I wouldn't want someone playing Commander Keene in my computrailer...
Yeah, you'd figure someone might actually want a little bit of the sales tax money they get from selling these game... I dunno, to help rebuild the city? (However retarded it may be to rebuild a city that is below sea level...)
This reminds me of a comparison I saw in Circuit City once... (Warning: I'm not going to talk about a computer hardware benchmark.)
They were trying to sell the insanely expensive Monster video cables by comparing the Monster cables to standard cables on identical TV's. The screen with the monster cables looks hella better than the other monitor. The difference was so astounding that I just had to look at the back of the TV...
The Monster TV was hooked up with an HDMI cable.....
The other a FRIGGIN UNSHIELDED COMPOSITE VIDEO CABLE.
Apples and oranges, apples and oranges...
And...
The article is about calling RIAA execs, not Senators...
"The RIAA is lead by Mitch Bainwol, who is Chairman and CEO since 2003. He is assisted by Cary Sherman, the President of the Board of Directors. There are 27 members of the board, who are drawn from a number of record companies."

Last I checked, no software patent had the ability to turn any child's head into a pink mist...
Nice try with the sensationalism though...
Heaven forbid that anyone should find out that you've been fed an Enzyte add 5 times and an add for Monistat 6 times...

Mmm... 'J-A-X-A' (you know, like "jay-ay-ecks-ay") maybe? Not every acronym is meant to be pronounced like a word.
You said common sense for the method in your post... for a math major probably! ^_^
One of my roomates in college was a math masters student, he was one smart fucker.

...but can a project like this really offer the same number of WIC modules?
What do foodstamps have to do with networking?
M$ better hope they have data execution prevention turned on when that stack overflows or we might have an entire company set up as a Korean zombie!
Just slow the commercials way down so they play at normal speed during FFWD!@
