This is definitely something I've always wanted to do.

Programmers often write lots of fun, interesting and exciting code.  Rarely, however, do we ever do anything that's actually IMPORTANT.  I've always thought that if I could occasionally write something that had all the aforementioned qualities, plus was more rewarding than my usual daily work, that I'd be as happy in my career as I could possibly ever be.

In college, we had to complete what was called an Major Qualifying Project (MQP) to get our Bachelor's Degree.  This was outside of any class.  It was a year long thing and usually included a partner or two (one in my case).

We picked one that actually was important on purpose.  It was very exciting, interesting, challenging and made us feel good all at the same time.  We were to clean up some images from an accident scene (hit and run) to figure out what kind of car perpetrated the crime (it was caught on surveillance footage).  We did a great job and narrowed it down to two types of cars.  The police have to do the rest, though.

DROA ripped me off for $100.00 .
I was unaware of the scam and sent them my credit card information. The swiped my card the first time and promised to send me a email with instructions. No email came. But a second swipe on my credit card did come. It was denied because my balance was too low. The next two days my balance was brought up and low and behold DROA swiped it again......netting $100.00 from a agreed price of $50.00. I rushed to the bank and liquidated all my money to a zero balance. It will stay zero until this matter has been resolved through mastercard.
I expect they will attempt to get more monies from the card if there is any money in the account. They have demonstrated that they are not only con artist but credit card thieves as well.

I was duped by this "bill" two years ago and didn't realize what had happened until now.  I had renewed for two years and the expiration was in May of 2006.  I tried to renew through them before the expiration date but they wouldn't let me.  After repeated attempts to contact them through email and snail mail I got no response what so ever.  My domain expired.  I figured I could transfer the domain at that point so I started the process, paid my fees (through another registrar) and received no responses and no confirmation of the requests at all, not through any of my contact numbers or email addresses I profided to droa.com.
Come July I find out that my domain name was sold to someone in Australia who is "willing" to sell it back to me for $75,000.00 (see URL).
Far more going on with droa.com then just the initial "bill" scam.

I had supposedly renewed my AmericanShoppes.com for three years thru Domain Registry of America starting in January 2006 and now found out the name was re-issued to another person by Register.com. I have emailed all parties concerned on 08/29/06. Will see what happens and if not rectified will get a lawyer.AmShoppes@comcast.net

I have received this bill plus another one from listingcorp.  If this is so well known, I can't understand why they haven't been shut down yet.  I'm glad this site was here so I could confirm the bill was bogus.

That's really interesting.  I've been planning on getting a hybrid with my next car.  My Kia Rio gets great gas mileage, but I know I can do even better.  I didn't know that they put in all those gauges.  As soon as you mentioned having your driving affected by the gauges I thought the same thing you did: "seems like a video game."

My only knock on the gauges would be that I wonder what percentage of the electricity generated by the car is being used on the reading and displaying of the data for the gauges?  Probably not enough to outweigh the benefits of knowing how to save gas/electricity, but it's something to think about.  Maybe giving the user the option to shut one or more of these non-essential gauges off after they've learned how to maximize fuel efficiency?

You mentioned that Integrated Security can work with the Trusted Sites zone. Are you saying we can get Kerberos delegation working with the Trusted sites zone? If so, how? I haven't seen this assertion anywhere else, so please elaborate.
