You are absolutely right. Also, another case in point: Mac OS X The problem with the Redmond OSes, IMO, is that the technology behind them had been just barely adequate to support the OS. So to add functionality, a lot of the foundation had to be renewed, while still "supporting" the old quirks and bugs. That meant that the "rehash of the previous OS" was no longer valid. So we can just hope that Vista has a strong enough foundation to support "rehashes" for a lot of years, ultimately leaving us with a good OS.
Regardless, the issue in this case is not how accessible the website is, but rather, if anyone followed the hyperlinks posted on the p2pnet site. Without proof that persons other than the plaintiff visited the defendant's website, clicked on the hyperlinks, and read the articles complained of, there cannot be a finding of publication.
So, if I publish libel in my newspaper, anyone wishing to sue me must prove that someone actually read that particular article?
Why is this modded funny? I know it didn't exactly caught on, but I still think it would be both better and have a higher chance of being accepted by the masses than going to UTC time, as someone else suggested. It's a lot easier to do math with, and it's really hard to get people to accept that 14:00 is now in the middle of the night (depending on where you live, of course)
Can you point to a source, please? Because the front page of FlashBlocks site says something different:
Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content.
Then just blacklist the flash-adds only. I just use flashblock to stop all the annoying adds, and then I have adblock without any filters to take down any particularly annoying.gifs
So because a bunch of doucebags are voting for one of the candidates, you're not? It's lucky for you that such a list could never be compiled for McCain, otherwise I guess you'll just have to stay home on election day.
I'll agree that part of the problem is that people are selfish. But another part of it is that they are lazy, too, and discouraged by DRM. To elaborate on the "bad business model": Currently there's no legal place on the net where you get nearly the selection that Piratebay offers when it comes to DRM-free media. That's why I recommend it to friends when they ask, and DRM or small selection is the reason I don't recommend iTunes/emusic etc.
Ensuring that the business people and cost estimators are aware of hours you believes are required to complete can ensure that you're always in the work in a resource-constrained organization.
I'm sorry, but you sound just like a Markov generator. You failed the Turing Test.
But any self respecting nerd also has wired internet at home. This is great if you need mobile internet now and then due to traveling, but would rather use your home line at home because of greater speeds (3G usually lands you 2-4 Mbit/s, at least here in Denmark), or greater flexibility (e.g. getting your net from ethernet instead of USB)

They could just set up a torrent tracker. That way, they've done something, at least.
No, he's saying sue/file a police report on the salesman and find another, instead of bitching about having no car
Yeah. In fact, you could make your own app-store.
With hookers! And blackjack!

It could be useful if you search, and don't want idle- and firehose-stuff to be displayed
...Or maybe it's shorthand for "my strawman"
I know what you mean. Even though they're called Chips, they're apparently not edible.

But it's not only a click-through EULA, it's a read-then-pay EULA, so if you don't want to be bound by the EULA, don't type in your CC details.
Well, that's how science works. You have a hypothesis, you find the implications, you test it, and if it looks as you thought, you've won.
To be 'fair', the dialog box they were going for does have those quotes.
That's just what they wanted you to think :)
Not being able to transfer your movies to another PS3 if your old one breaks down? Sounds like DRM to me.

It seems that the US elections these days are as "open and fair" as Fox are "Fair and balanced"
