If that was an actual request for data, my answer is no. But then I only migrated from cassette to CD because I was tired of having to turn the tape over.

Black and white discipline, huh? I bet you write code for a living.
Although some critics contend paperless deposits are an attempt by the banking industry to eliminate 'float,' the standard one- or two-day waiting period between the time someone writes a check and the time the money is actually taken out of their account
How about eliminating the other kind of float, where the bank gets a free loan of your money for the period of several days between the time they take it out of the check writer's account and the time it gets "cleared" to the depositor's account.
Could you come up with a system that takes into account the incentives of parties on both sides, and that prevents huge legal bills from being generated?
Good question. For that matter, why would a company want to block internet access to its employees? In our case I believe it was just the default setting and nobody thought to check.
All I'm saying is, let's think twice before DDoS-ing Yemen's Websense servers in the name of freedom.
I am a designer for a large gas turbine engine manufacturer, and I have to agree that there is still a lot that we just don't understand well enough or can't model adequately. Combustion noise, liquid atomization, fatigue/creep interaction, etc. We do all kinds of FEA and CFD analysis, but still spend tens of millions of dollars on testing to back up those simulations.
It seems to me that there are excellent grounds for having Mr. Thompson declared a public nuisance himself. From the article, a public nuisance is something that
tend[s] to annoy the community, injure the health of the citizens in general, or corrupt the public morals Surely filing frivolous lawsuits tends to corrupt the public morals by encouraging others to file frivolous lawsuits, and injures the health of the citizens by consuming limited legal resources which could better be used to deal with violent crime.
This is not really news, is it? I work for an international company of 38,000 employees, i.e. not just a Mom & Pop shop, and we have only recently started moving from W2K to XP.
Ford estimates a combined city/highway gasoline equivalent fuel economy rating of 41 mpg. 41mpg? My 7 year old Mazda Protege gets 41mpg. Back to the drawing board, boys!
You can play WoW. You'll never see latency under about 900ms, though. How much of a difference that makes will depend on your class and what you're doing. For example, as a rogue you will find it basically impossible to stay within range of a moving target long enough to pull off a successful backstab. As a priest, if it takes you over a second to notice that your tank needs healing, you may become unpopular. On the other hand, a warlock can function effectively because it doesn't make a lot of difference if a 24-second damage over time spell hits right now or a second from now, and your demon will keep right on attacking.
First person shooters? No.
A good player can get a character from 1-60 within 3 months for their first character, 1 month for alts. That's for a normal person with a full-time job.
Considering an average of 16 days/played from level 1-60, to hit 60 in three months you're looking at six hours a day, five days a week. That's pretty extreme for a normal person with a full-time job and basically impossible for anybody with a family.
It's taken me the best part of a year to hit 60, but that's ok. I like questing out in the world of Azeroth and it's perfectly doable thirty minutes or an hour at a time. Now if only I could pay somebody to take my character on those bloody five-hour raid instance runs!

Nationalize all the lawyers.

when the number of concurrent users exceeds the number of licenses, all requests go through unfiltered
I think this is configurable. When all the Websense licences are in use at my office, all requests get blocked.

So if I want the right to use your work for free, all I have to do is kill you!
