So why can't you switch carriers and get more options, like a non-camera Nokia or something? What do you need in a smartphone, anyway, and would those needs not be met by either a PDA or an iPod Touch?
The idea with recovering from a drive that's been overwritten once with zeros is that you disassemble the drive and deal with the platters directly, using a microscope or some other means. But they have a rule saying you can't disassemble the drive.
I've heard somewhere that in the past most of the demographic that signs up for Rock the Vote tended to still not show up on the day of the election. It would be nice to get some numbers to prove this actually does good in terms of real votes, not just registering.
Is having a lot of people who couldn't otherwise be bothered to register or go to the polls, suddenly going and voting based on a month or two's worth of half-baked assertions gleaned from campaign ads and easily swayable by media "personalities" and pop stars, really such a good thing for us?
(Not to mention, they can't actually really register through Live, they will be sent a packet to fill out.)
It's unfortunate, however, that our status quo is one which makes a large portion of our culture into criminals, and then, they can get elected to office, so long as they claim that's how it should be.
I know the point you're trying to make, but... are you someone who believes once a criminal, always a criminal? What about the ones who have done the time (or other penalty) that society has assessed legally for the crime for which they were convicted?
Seriously, I'd rather see a movie done in Lego Star Wars (and I do mean the videogame) than watch this. Sappy Disneylike "I'm not too young to be a padawan" girlpower storyline, just to name one really laughable element.
and it's hard to be sure that the ISP used by whatever-hotel-I'm-staying-at-this-week will be as proactive.
Are you serious? Why are you letting the hotel network tell you what DNS servers to use? Manually enter in the ones from your ISP, or, if they don't allow requests from outside their network, use some free servers you can trust, like the ones at OpenDNS.
it is against the common-case thief that we feel tracking systems can add significant value.
Perhaps, but a stolen laptop is useless without being hacked/reformatted (except for using for parts) if you actually do the minimum of security precautions: having a password required to login/come back from screen saver, etc.
Should we consider the airlines worth rescuing? (Again?) And why do you think lower fuel costs will do this?
Check out the airlines in Europe and Asia. Sure, a lot of them are nationalized. But not all. And most are in much better shape than airlines in the U.S.A. That's with higher fuel costs than their U.S. counterparts. Of course, they don't have to deal as much with security theatre, but U.S. companies are not directly burdened with most of those costs themselves.
The reality is, the U.S. airlines are in the situation they are in mostly due to the regulatory situation and inefficient management. And when we see that a company like Southwest does just fine, we have to wonder how much is really due to regulation. Dropping the price of energy won't actually solve what's really wrong with these airlines. And we shouldn't prop up inefficient companies, in effect bailing out private investors for their poor choices of managers and penalizing the investors who chose to invest in the companies that are making it work.
These are user-acclaimed tweets, most of them just comedic, but some telling whole little stories. Thinking this way is a bit like trying to think haikus; perhaps why another competitor in the space is called Jaiku.
The WoW thing could be bad... depends on whether she's chatting/enjoying herself, or whether she's actually addicted. She's ignoring her kid and dissociated from the world. It's bad.
You also need a willing backbone provider, all of which would also be your competitors. It's always been this way, though. Real players in the communications industry both buy from and sell to their competitors.
Ebay and use the revenue to buy a few very large size drives. Running a ton of tiny drives on standby all the time just makes no sense from both a power and heat standpoint.
That's why in the UK we have the offence Taking Without consent or TWOC as in "Sarge, we're in pursuit of the little fucker who TWOC'd that Ferrari." That's a real charge? I always kinda thought it was something made up for an episode of The Thin Blue Line:)
Theft is taking people's property without their permission with the intention to permanently deprive them of it. So if I just take your car out of your driveway and joyride across town, then leave it at a gas station after refueling it, that's not theft?

Even if the tank did make it into space, the bat would have long since frozen, and presumably fallen off.

(just to put this in perspective)
P.S. I love words which can mean virtually their own opposite, like sanction.

Oops, nope, just a bug in the interface, it says I already have posted when I try to actually mod you.
Well, since you didn't leave a guestbook up on Multiply... (hint :) )
Oh, and surprise for me: it was going to let me mod your reply to me (I have points) even though I obviously wrote the parent.

Oh, shut up, Slashdot, it's supposed to be yelling.
