Yikes! I'll give it about a week for someone to crack it, but in the mean time, I'd like to know if this also restricts divx encoded avi's and/or games outputted to the tv. I love watching my downloaded copies of Sponge Bob and playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure on the big screen!
DRM and drugs are just slightly different. Some tips on being taken seriously: take a grammar course (people need to understand you, and I assume you are American since you say "here in the u.s."), don't post as anonymous (it doesn't alert the original poster), and try to get a grip on reality.
Pardon my mistake- "one country" should read: one country's record companies
or something along those lines. I know its not up to the countries, but that's how it got translated. Blasted American Politics lecture is skewing my thought processes
No.. nothing that formal. I was thinking more along the lines of business-style peer-pressure, following lines of public practice, and/or seeing what actually works.
How convoluted is this- that the same government that fines MS for anti-trust issues grants them "advice" and tech.
Not to add fuel to the fire, but where's Apple in all of this, or is it because Vista will be running on all the government PC's? Naw, that couldn't be the case.
Its just something you don't expect. I don't have the time for the luxury of reading what glitches IE has now. And as far as I know, every computer in my office, server room, and home has IE6, save one. Why? Like every good small-time admin with direct control over computers (no office peons or incompetent nubcakes see these) I want to make sure I'm not downloading a 100mb auto update (.NET framework for a kid's box?) or something incompatible or with known issues for unique hardware. A little straying from the point, but its these inconsistencies that vex my soul.
Import the picture into PS or Fireworks and then draw the black lines on top. Save as the program-specific proprietary format. Upload to teh internets.
Similar to the pfd layers issue, but more readily viewed and edited.
The only thing worse than clients never updating their software is them upgrading to inconceivable excrement 7 and then calling you, their designer, in the wee morning hours with a heated berating for screwing up their website.
I'm up to 3 now.
The biggest problem I've seen so far is the nasty tendency to word-wrap table cells when the overall content text space taken up is greater than what the browser anticipated.
You end with something like this:

Well I guess I agree to a certain point, but you also have to keep in mind that these are Ford vehicles we're talking about. Ford has had computers operating significant systems in their cars for what... 20-some years? In one respect I think Ford has a little more experience when it comes to this. Also, why would they trust the "brain" to ANY company? Its like google outsourcing its search engine.
Maybe you should read what we were talking about before you hit the reply button. We already established that they wouldn't so we were talking theoreticals, workarounds, and irony.
Ok, now I feel like a nubcake. I could make it through the second level just fine... where you jump over the pits and all... but I couldn't make it to the door.
Man I loved dropping the bombs from the balloon. I'm not sure what purpose that served or how it was scored, but I thought as a kid that I was bombing an Indian village.
I don't know of anyone who has ever beaten the 2nd level. In all my years gaming, I've never gotten past that point. Its the only game that I've ever not been able to beat. (not that I'm bragging, but face it, games are meant to be beaten).
For the obscenely paranoid (or maybe not given this event), one could have a stand-alone box completely removed from any working environment (VM?) and use a pop app to download the messages yet leave them on the server- a tactic that I've employed in the past with other services. This way you have a copy on that server that can't infect those around it (viruses wouldn't be launched and super-high security measures would be dealt upon the inbox). Even going so far as to convert everything to text only and strip attachments... Now this wouldn't be restorable to GMail, but it would be a semi-inefficient way to back things up. Hmm... how about a server with multiple clients and then you charge to back up their webmail for them?!? Sounds like an easy way to do nothing and get paid for it.
Indeed. Kind of ironic if they said "Whoops, your email is all gone, but we have a copy of it all that was sent to the 'User profiling and advertising' department"...
Which, honestly, I wouldn't doubt. Is Google the new MS?
HAHAHA well thats why i made mention of the logitech mapper. I have actually gotten it set up so I can use a force feedback, wireless gamepad with mmos and counterstrike source. No more WASD cramps, but when I actually want to win, then I switch to wasd + mouse.
Yikes. Not to mention the opportunity cost of waiting at a store (if thats what you did) when taking into consideration the many people who took off work for 2 days.
Why would people continue to want a PS3 given the complete shortage of games for it. Personally, I like the PC. I can play any game previously released (Though some DOS games seem like they are in super turbo mode), and, more than likely, I can play console games too. Logitech's Input mapper program + emu + rom = trouble, but sometimes worth it. Case-in-point: FFX and FFXI (I think those were the ones a buddy of mine got to work)...
Right- in a business-type environment any admin worth his salt would have his exchange (or whatever) server backed up, in RAID5, etc. However, Google doesn't bother with that. They admit that when an email (or everything in your mailbox) is gone, its gone.
Personally I don't want any email stored on my computer. Granted, I have enough space for it, but with different breeds of viruses and what not, I'd rather not make provision for them to occupy a single sector.
As to the contacts and emails being lost... Backup, backup, backup! GMail has an export feature.

Makes me think of Spore some more.

Are precedents global? I mean will one country follow suit solely because another has seen the light?
Read what article?

Tony Almeda used a Mac on 24.
Yeah but just think how much CO2 would be produced with all those people huffing and puffing on those bicycles.

Message to the plaintiff... Get a first life. Largest byte-holder on a server is definitely something you'll go down in history for.

I will agree to your GTA port.

Roger that, but for some reason even DOSBox doesn't like to restrict California Raisins' game speed.
