You probably know this, but if your computer does not get its DNS servers from the router you may well not be using OpenDNS even if you have it set in your router's settings.
Nobody knows. See Ars Technica piece mentioning them. Essentially, someone opened up iPhone OS 3.0 and found references to two devices called the iProd and iFPGA in the USB Device Configuration plist, which is used (according to the article) to identify these devices on Mac OS X.
I said "There's always alt.fan.pratchett" but then decided to go check if it was still around and found the Google Groups archive completely inundated by spam. Jesus.

As far as I know, it doesn't work this way. If his death would have restored to life all those servers, _then_ maybe it would be considered The Right Thing To Do®. However, committing suicide for having failed your customers is neither the norm nor encouraged.
So, the bottom line is that the Dell Mini 10v might be OK as regards the graphics (it's GMA950) which in turn means that it doesn't do HDMI and has an unfortunately lower vertical resolution than the Mini10v, but the wireless sucks and the touchpad probably sucks, the RAM is fixed too low.
You obviously meant a different laptop model for one of those because the Mini 10v can't have a lower resolution than the Mini 10v. Which model were you talking about?
Perhaps I should have said, "That doesn't make it sound any less absurd." because it doesn't. It still sounds bizarre to punish someone for doing something and then let them and other people continue to do it.
Does slashdot not do the  (degree) symbol or something?
Because it's not like the article is properly cited or anything, right? Look at the Wikipedia article as a list of citations with a description of each. You must be one of those people who repeats the latest talking point without the least amount of thought.
It's in the Wikipedia article. She was wearing cotton sweatpants which soaked up the hot coffee. In your case, you had the T-shirt on, and if you try to remember you'd probably see that you sort of pulled the shirt away from your skin when this happened (I know this is what I'd do). This person was old, and the coffee also spilt all over her sweatpants, therefore it would be harder to perform an equivalent action. In any case, the fact of the matter is that she did indeed get third-degree burns over 6% of her skin.
That doesn't make the case any less absurd, though.
Well, you're certainly right about that, but maybe you should have explained what you meant? I just read the first four results and two observed no elevated risk, but thesetwo report an increased risk for certain kinds. I only read the results and do not know how to interpret them properly, what do you think?
Well, I've done it the other way around with Ubuntu, transferred a disk image to a virtual machine and it booted up just fine but that has all the drivers bundled in. You're right, those are problems I never thought of with my suggestion.
If your recovery disks simply restore an image to the hard-drive, just install into a virtual machine, then download the the redistributable version of Windows XP SP3, then make an image of that and restore at your leisure.
In fact, try that even otherwise. Simply install to a Virtual Machine without internet access, then get the redistributable SP3 using your safe Linux distribution, then create a slipstreamed ISO inside your Virtual Machine and burn it in your Linux distribution if you can't have passthrough enabled in the virtual machine.
Never tried this myself (I use a Linux distro), but can't see why it shouldn't work, and it should be safe.
...for single player games they may tell friends and eventually somebody they know who likes the game may pay for it.
Ah, that's true, they may tell their friends, but they're likely to give their friends a copy too. I've never seen this phenomenon where one friend says, "Dude, this game is great. I got it from The Pirate Bay." and the other guy goes, "Hmm, maybe I should buy it." though maybe it's more prevalent elsewhere.
Some classic proof by (broken) analogy: "Banks lock their front doors at night and have strong safes even though there are laws forbidding bank robbery" What does this prove exactly?
I can answer this at least. He's saying that even if you say, "Your username must not contain ; or the word DROP", users will still do that so despite it not being 'allowed', you still have to ensure that they can't even if they tried. Not very insightful.
Okay, maybe I was behind the times, but in 1999, my family had a Pentium 166 Mhz with 32 MB RAM with Windows 98 SE on it. There's about zero chance it would have been able to handle all those activities. I remember the usual procedure was to close everything to run something else. Otherwise the interface would stop responding to clicks at some random moment and if you waited a little longer you would have a blue screen saying your system is unresponsive. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then kill that application and then expect the 'Warning! This system is unstable!'. That's with no viruses (we read our mail through HyperTerminal in the beginning when the system was like this).

You're missing the point. Even if you use OpenDNS, you're still getting redirected to Comcast's DNS servers.

That's right, but completely irrelevant in context.

Ah, I see. Thanks guys.
What? No way, those would be incredibly hard to read from. Which camera do you use?
That's a pretty neat way of doing things, but how would this law damage it?
I'm sure many people here know what that is about, but which processor had these design flaws? Googling gives me Amazon reviews of computers.
I don't claim to be a lawyer, but I have noticed that another case was thrown out despite the temperature being 179 F and that the Cambridge News reports that McDonald's serves hot coffee today at 85 C (185 F) in the UK and other places in the US serve coffee at up to 195 ÂF. Surely if the temperature itself is too high, then these establishments should be forced to drop their temperatures or shut down. What is the point in litigating after something happens? Isn't it better to just shut them down before there is harm?

The only thing worse than that is: "Never mind, I fixed it."

I got a shiny mouse pad too. Solution: I flipped mine over. The other side was black.

Not going to happen. But the gnome-panel thing is in line for overhaul. cf. GnomeShell.

Or Batista.
Yes. That's what I said.
