I wish I remembered the article I read a few weeks (months) back. Basically, it was about a guy being charged for hacking because he changed the URL parameters when he visited a site. So, be careful with your decision. The laws are so strict and the punishments are so harsh now (e.g. Aaron Swartz) that I am even afraid to post anything on the web.

Ok everyone, here is your chance to get away from Global Warming, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and etc. Plus you might actually get to meet Bob. Excerpt from the site: In 2013 Mars One will conduct a global search to find the best candidates for the first human mission to Mars in 2023. On Mars, the primary responsibility for the astronauts is to keep everything, and everyone, up and running. The astronauts must be intelligent, creative, psychologically stable and physically healthy. Mars One accepts applicants from any country in the world. Once on Mars, there is no means to return to Earth. The astronaut selection program will start in the first half of 2013. http://mars-one.com/en/faq-en/21-faq-selection/251-do-i-qualify-to-apply[^]

Like Colin, I also use Media Player Classic but it's now called Media Player Classic Home Cinema (mpc-hc). And the current/active development is at http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ You can download the x86 or x64. I also run Win7/x64. It works for me when I watch movies with happy ending. :-D

I don't care. I'll still be using 7 of 9 because it's my favorite.

Yes. I made 1 post today. Now, where is my participation trophy?

Imagine people asking, where did you get that song? IGodIt.com

Liar. It couldn't be an "Exceptionally explained" book. It's missing the other 206 Shades of Grey.

Amateur. Everyone knows that if you want to get away with it, you've to work your up to be the CEO of the bank. Then, you can steal from the customers and get bail outs from the people without going to jail.

I don't know why they even bother to pass any more laws. Actually they can get rid of all laws except NDAA, and that is all they would need to keep the people in line.

expertsexchange[^] I wonder if Maunder ever thought about it?

I am not paid by lines, so I might do something like this.

News story 1[^] News story 2[^] I am so angry right now. I can't think of the big picture message message to describe it. It can't be just "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."

Unbelievable, it disturbs me that the kids think those are monsters. The real monsters are the talking heads on TV running for President. And once they are in office, they are even scarier because they can actually do real harm.

That's what happened to my desktop computer when I turned it on after the hurricane. Note to self, next time unplug everything even if you've a UPS.

I dropped my cable tv about 5-7 years ago but I kept the internet. Now I don't have a tv but I can still watch local stations (e.g. local abc, nbc, cbs, and etc.) on my pc. I bought one of the SiliconDust - HDHomeRun box and connected to the cable line and hook it up to my router. Now I watch tv on my laptop. This way you can save some bandwidth, if you are not on the unlimited plan. I think many people do not know this, but you probably still can get local hd and standard channel through the cable line that is servicing the internet. As I recalled, the FCC does not allow the cable company to encrypt local stations. Also, since you want to access other viewing sources, I'd suggest that you look into building a HTPC. Just search HTPC. This way you should be able to have the local stations, and Hulu and other internet sources. My $0.02

We barely survive the Bush Theocracy and now this[^]. It would not surprise me if he gets elected. Let me answer that for you. Yes, the American public is that stupid.

Just tried it. Something is wrong with the audio. It comes in and out depending on the scene.

Well, considering GPA inflation in the last 15 or 20 years. I'd consider you GPA from the 1960's adjusted for inflation to be at least 3.5 now. :)

I really hate to reply on this subject but there are just so many things that are wrong in this post.

History about Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden is quite bitter. The organization and the character were created by US government to defeat Russia. Afterwards, nothing happened. Then all of a sudden 9/11 took place.

Your need to really do research on the history of Ayman al-Zawahiri and Bin Laden. Anyways, nothing happened? Then all of a sudden 9/11? How about the USS Cole and the Embassies bombings? Or the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing? I know it's not Bin Laden in WTC bombing in '93 but it was still a warning about the rise of Radical Islam. I don't want to turn this into a flame war. There is the BackRoom to serve the purpose.
