   Personally I just want to watch the game and I tend to enjoy a 15 minute cast from Husky a lot more than a 60 minute analysis from Day9. It's just a personal preference, Day9 is very good at what he does but usually I just want to enjoy the

   Simulating a click and slide is nowhere near as hard as automating, for example, decoding of Google's CAPTCHA. The whole point of a CAPTCHA is to make the automation as hard as possible without making it too hard for a human.

   If you can automate it then by definition it's not a CAPTCHA

   I think you over-estimate how well the 'average' person in the USA is living today.

   Define 'great deal'? How many records are we talking about?

   We have these in our office building too. They're fine but our building management has them cleaned twice a day, otherwise they stink up the place.

    Yea I'm not really sure. I did find this interesting article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_mining

    The trillion dollar pricetag might be accurate but it won't happen while it's still cheaper to mine those same minerals here on earth. I mean even if you get the asteroid you still have to mine it and refine it, you can't just ship it to ea

    So what would be an example of a situation that cannot be dealt with under current laws?

    ISPs are already required to honor all court orders.

    Yea that's a good question. What kind of event ARE we really talking about here? Do you have an example of something that might require this kind of response?

    I'd rather we wait for this to actually occur before introducing new laws.

    If there's a legit reason to do this, can't Obama just ask the top tier ISPs to implement such a filter? Do we really need legislation to this effect?

    Ok... so what's the second best?

    Any kind of attack can already be filtered by the top tier ISPs around the country, and if it's really serious they'll unplug anything Obama asks them to. I just don't see how any kind of mass internet attacks can be a real threat to the US

    We all like to think that life is 'priceless' but the truth is we put dollar values on people's lives routinely. Just ask insurance companies or the health care system or charities. There's no such thing as 'priceless'. The Mona Lisa is wor

    To be fair it does look like you're breaching Google Checkout's terms: https://checkout.google.com/seller/policies.html 'You may not capture funds more than 24 hours before you fulfill the order. Fulfill means you have shipped the physica

    Google Checkout specifically forbids this practice - according to their terms you have to ship within 24 hours of charging the client. I'm sorry to say but OP clearly breached their terms here.

    Write a detailed blog post and submit it to Reddit with a catchy headline. Google will fix it before the end of the week.

    Connection logs are not the same as logging every URL your customers request, am I correct?

    Did you pay cash? Did you have to register by phoning Optus before using the SIM?

    You can also provide false ID when you buy them in person. That's not the point.

    They have your name, address and credit card number. That's more than enough identification.
