"the audit had incorrectly classified news sites as adult because they contained links to or advertisements for adult dating sites."
"Because there are adult matchmaking links or ads on their site, every time someone accesses news.com.au and they go from one article to another, that's counted as an individual hit on an adult site."
The fact that he confessed and resigned suggests that he was looking at more than just news sites, but that doesn't look like a well-run audit.
Nearly every piece of popular, complex software, is written in C or C++.
... for better or for worse.
Now, cue the people posting exceptions to that tendency under the misguided assumption that they are disproving my point...
Yes, but Windows wouldn't know that's what it was, so would not load the PDF reader when you double-click.
Linux environments (in my experience) tend to trust the extension less, and detect a mime-type based on contents as well as (possibly) extension.
That sort of scheme could correctly open a mis-named PDF.
People who go around giving STDs to people knowingly are prosecuted - why not people who do the same with computers?
I get that you're (at least partially) joking, but I think you'll find that knowingly going around giving computers viruses is also frowned upon by the law.
Are you talking about Blood 1? 'Cause that was a DOS game.
I've had some success running that in DosBox, but I needed the [cpu] core=dynamic and [dosbox] machine=svga_s3 settings to get anything approaching a decent framerate.
Apparently both are the default now, but they weren't when my dosbox.conf was first written.
The bottleneck's not the video hardware - it's the screen surface area. That, and lots of people like having their own chair.
Yes, there are exceptions (I'd add Jump'n'Bump to that list). That does not change the situation for most games.
You seem to be forgetting that pretty much all laptops or brand-name computers or electronics products of any kind have the manufacturers' logos on them.
That's not the issue here, the problem is the crappy stickers (plural) that are all over the place and leave goo if you try to remove them.
Even once you've got the stickers off, a Windows computer will still have the manufacturer's logo too - which is fine.
Instinct I guess. Humanity would have gone extinct long time ago if parents routinely became sadistic and cruel to their own spawn.
Sorry, I gotta call you on that.
We'd only be extinct if parents became so sadistic and cruel to their own spawn that they killed said spawn (or damaged them so much they couldn't survive to be cruel to their own spawn, down the track).
I'm not sure (I didn't glean any actual information from TFA beyond 'gmail will add phone calls') but I suspect that the new web-based client-side calling software might be related to the existing web-based client-side calling software that is already integrated into gmail...
Not Javascript, I'm sorry to say - Netscape plugin.
I'll chip in with my anecdotal data point:
I'm using the integrated Radeon on my home PC, and I have yet to try a game that doesn't run well on it - Left4Dead 2, Unreal III, Starcraft II... not the most cutting edge graphics, maybe, but hardly ancient.
The only reason I might get a discrete video card will be for things like TV out and better multi-monitor support.
Sure it can be easy to miss somebody's subtle advances, when they are interested.
But if you had made a move with someone who was not interested?
You would definitely know if she's not happy when you take her pants off.

The first I heard of this story was this:
News.com.au classed as 'adult website' in audit of politicians' internet use.
From this article:
The fact that he confessed and resigned suggests that he was looking at more than just news sites, but that doesn't look like a well-run audit.
Wow... I've never come across the 'Great Barrier Router'. I like it.
Shouldn't that wake-up call come with a link?

Who needs multiple cores when multi-tasking has been decreed irrelevant?
Or did I miss an update where multitasking was invented and gifted to the world by Apple?
Yep, apparently (well, kind of).
You say correllation is not causation .... I know your a supra genius.
No, your a supra genius.
*shudders* Now I feel dirty.

"Have you tried turning her off and then on again?"
You win at the internets!

Pro-geek-tip: don't rub solvents on your wife, even if her laptop has stickers on it.

This seems like it would be a loose loose deal for Intel.
And a tight tight deal for AMD?
Wireshark, Snort, Nmap, and plenty of other tools use Lua for scripting
I was pleasantly surprised recently when I learned that VLC is also Lua-scriptable.
I don't think you grasped the theme here.
Things like this: Questionable Content. (Should be SFW - only the text is questionable in this one).

Hydrogen for me! Driving in my car's a blast.
Tony, please go back inside. You're embarrassing us in front of our international friends!
I disagree. I don't think that post is wearing a uniform at all.
