I also attend Georgia Tech. What is funny is that under Georgia law, and possible all law, that our parents can't see our grades, know our enrollment, or anything like that.
Yet at the same time, the RIAA is allowed to find out our information, which is legally privately protected? I believe even if our parents were to sue or subpoena Georgia Tech, the would still not be able to find out our information as it is protected by state law.
This is one of the reasons Harvard is on top of their game, because they recognize the rights of students attending.
I may be wrong about the exact extend of the law, but I know the parents part is correct. Just my 2.
Remember, you only have to wait 4 more years for the MP3 patent to become public:
The various patents claimed to cover MP3 by different patent-holders have many different expiration dates, ranging from 2007 to 2017 in the U.S. [9]. However, U.S. patents can only last up to 20 years, and MP3 was released as a specification in 1991, so if U.S. courts applied U.S. law, no patent could apply beyond 2011 to MP3 itself.[10] In the U.S., any patent claiming to cover the fundamentals of MP3 after 2012 should (by law) be struck down as an invalid patent, due to the existence of published prior art (the MP3 specification) more than a year before the patent's filing. If it had been published earlier (such as in public drafts), the latest date would be even earlier. However, it is unclear if U.S. courts would enforce this. The situation in other countries that permit software patents is similar.
Wouldn't they want to use a female to learn about male behavior instead of a male. Yes, with a male they can do aggression tests with robot vs. animal. However, with a female that attracts males, they can see real animals vs. animal aggression and behavior.
I'm just waiting until they do the same for e-paper. Then, not only will the paper have graphics and animation, but it will have sound too. Also, I expect an embedded ccd to come in a few years, making the new media computer a piece of e-paper attached to a bulky battery.
Don't just ask if you can call them back... prank them...
First, tell them that the person they have asked for is dead and that you are a sheriff with the county department. Ask how they know this person, and where they were sometime the night before. Go on with the investigation until you scare the crap out of them.
Additionally, find out where they are located and their phone number by telling them you need it to phone in to the local PD where they are located.
Actually, if you put water in a vacuum, it will start to boil, due to the decrease in pressure. Once near a full vacuum, the water will actually boil into ice, forming "hot" room temperature ice.
I am interested to find that XP is being phased out so fast. Personally, if I were Microsoft, I think it would make great sense to leave the machines as "Vista Certified" and put XP on them with no upgrade cd. This way, they can still double charge, all while converting their new user base to Vista.
Another thing is this just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If XP is selling, why loose customers, and thus profit, to something that is going to shy customers away.
Why do people always believe that there needs to be O2 and H20 for life to exist. Methane also allows for what we decided to be organic molecules to form. And quite frankly, I produce life and methane.
But seriously, I hate how we only look for life in an O2 rich place. We don't even know how we came to be, and we could have just as easily been made from NH3...
Actually, it does matter. The passport readers do not require the passport inspector to actually open up the passport. This allows the fake passport to be "real" with a added RFID device as long as the operator doesn't look inside. And since this is a technology used to speed up transactions through checkpoints, inspectors will not be opening many passports from now on. Thus, it is a huge deal.
Additionally, a normal reader may only be able to read it from 4 inches or so, but a scoped antenna could potentially extend the distance to a few feet to even a few hundred feet. Be scared about this technology, I am.
I recently got a new credit card with it, I immediately destroyed the card and chip inside, and requested a new card without the chip, as there have been attacks on this too. Be scared...
But how will I get new cd keys when I call because I swapped around my hardware to much. They usually ask questions like, what color is the cd, what is in the upper left hand corner. My replies, its shinny, and cd's don't have corners. I won that battle.
I just got a new RFID enabled credit card from Chase, and I asked if they still had a non-rfid enabled card. They were extremely nice and said I would have it in a few days.
Thats great and all, but I just did a test. I made a bot to submit thousands of times a second and it had my reply email address (not the email address the suggest went to). My email address, using php's mail function, was insert as the reply to. Soon, I received a email bounce back saying that the email couldn't be sent, and guess what, it had the email of the person who was receiving the contact emails.
A better method to possibly avoid this is to place all contacts in a database, and have a email sent to check the database so no bouncing can occur.

No no no, it's:
1. Copyright the patent bill
2. Sue the government
3. Profit!
Oh God, Ted Stevens talking about compression... When will he learn that compression doesn't provide faster internet services...

Even with Office 2003, the plugin fails to work for Excel. Powerpoint and Word work fine though. Strange.
Where is Intellectual Weapons when you need them!

This one works every time.

Indeed. However, it actually sounds like a pulse jet engine, here is a video.

Actually, the entire world will be hot as hell, so anyone making "statements" by being alive, will go to hell.
Funny how this aired the same day as the Gentoo Crisis.
Look at this weeks news letter... Besides Daniel Robbins, Luis Medinas (metalgod), and Sandro Bonazzola (sanchan)

I mean, no.

BTW, that is the easiest way to get new cd keys.
Actually, some Native Americans did protest space exploration (specifically the moon), because it was holy land for them.
