The majority of dialup credit card machines on the market do not work well with VOIP lines. If AT&T forces this change, a few hundred thousand small businesses will be forced into buying new machines.

If you think illegal immigrants never complain, then I'm guessing you've never met any.

I think you mean PA-DSS, which applies to payment application providers. PCI-DSS applies to the merchants themselves.

I totally disagree with the parent. Theism/Atheism is having faith in the existence OR non-existence of a god (not necessarily a Christian god). Agnosticism is the lack of faith either way, which sounds quite reasonable to me as nobody has actually provided proof one way or the other, at least as far as I'm concerned. Why is it so difficult for some people to admit they they do NOT have the answer to a long standing question?

Also, it's a shame about Ireland. I may have to rethink ever visiting.

Are visitors going to be under the impression that the actual giver of testimony created the site, or will it be spelled out that you're the one doing it? It's not exactly a brain teaser of an ethical dilemma...

I agree with everything you said except this. I'm guessing you haven't had a good hike or picnic in a while?

How about Hawthorne? Porn ads on every other page would be the only way I would ever consider reading The Scarlett Letter again.

Arizona does as well.

Not with torrents (as well as other sharing mechanisms) they won't.

For every Guatemalan or Nicaraguan that makes it to the US and takes a job, that's less work for Mexicans. If they gatekeep their southern border they help to keep down their own competition...

A rootkit in a VM could be used as a platform for launching attacks on nearby nodes, behind whatever firewall may be in place.

That's a good thing, as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully it will cause an institutional aversion to making crappy movies. That would be nice.

Ok I giggled. If your cat has a brain the size of a tennis ball then it's got a huge fucking head.

Whoosh. /He was making a dick joke. =]

I meant to reply to the parent. Sorry!
