Then there's another problem. I am a.ORG. However, there is a prominent British libertarian site at.NET and also a redirect to a Canadian SciFi site at.COM.
Which one of us gets the domain as.TLD? Is it a run for the money? Oldest domain first, and the rest of us get hosed? Richest first? None of us?
My outlook is that if I don't make the fact I don't snoop, and don't CARE to snoop, blithering clear to all and sundry, then it could be very, very bad for me down the line, either as an accomplice or a suspect.
About the only time I have looked is when profile/home backups seem to take too long. And, even then, I check directories for the usual suspects (like mail store size) first.
I worked for a set of commodity trader brothers back in the 80's. One of them, who worked as their corporate attorney, was in a Club Fed for tax issues.
I saw more than one threat from the Bureau of Prisions warning them to stop using Latvian (their native tongue) during phone calls to the incarcerated.
Yeah, well, id ended up sending me a free copy of Quake, as their distribution tech ended up nuking my Windows install at the time. Then I went a little obsessive looking for satisfaction (after fixing Windows, BTW). You would NOT believe what I had to go through to talk to a bloody human.
One of the reasons I did buy Sins was due to Stardock's copy protection stance. Vote with your wallet.
Of course, I also bought PA Adventures Episode 1, because it was
A] Reasonably priced B] Windows, Linux, and OS X versions available and C] (a little shaky here, but better than nothing) the DRM scheme allowed for installation on up to three machines before running into issues.
At least the protection was reasonable. (Didn't hurt I found the game truly laugh out loud funny in several places, either...)
That's okay. I got stopped, frisked and all after they said my CPAP machine triggered their explosives detector.
And, after the frisking I got from the muscular, tall, mustachio's guard, I am surprised he didn't either ask me out for dinner and drinks, or tell me that it was great and that he'd call me tomorrow...
I like Ebert too, but specifically because I know how to read him as he applies to my opinion of movies. I have a very clear picture of what he and I disagree on.
I, however, pay no attention to any of his opposable digits.
If you do not secure it, how am I to know you DON'T want to share it?
There's no simple and feasible way for me to determine where the connection is coming from and no real way for me to tell it was not intended for public access.
If it is secured, then it's a pretty easy guess that it is not meant for public access.
Amazon finally gave up on the books I had co-ordered along with the new Martin book and shipped them anyway, thus ruining my plans for a literary orgy come October.
It will not even load on my OS X 10.4.11 PPC box. Launching it takes me right to an error reporting box. After 6 or 7 rounds of error reporting while trying to locally debug, I finally gave up.
"Fast and clean"
Guess what ideal webbrowser and ideal hookers have in common.
Also, relative leanness and cross-platform compatibility are nice. But the user interface is the most important element of all.
Besides, without extra competition, I would be afraid the development/innovation of FF would stagnate. At least with IE, there is a given baseline.
Yeah, like you trust any untrained yahoo to do your installs for you. What about us die hard DIY types?
And for people with domain names that already have a .COM, .ORG, and .NET in place?
(I took a .ORG fully intending it in its proper sense, NOT because the others were taken.)

.ftw is mine, mine I tell you!

YaHOOOOOOOOOgle...
Ummm, that is sandwich artist ...

Don't forget it runs on Blackberries too.

Nope. We had a line here at AT&T for iPhones. I have pictures.
I have to agree. I just restarted playing again, just to be able to play with my two housemates.
I like Ebert too, but specifically because I know how to read him as he applies to my opinion of movies. I have a very clear picture of what he and I disagree on.

Largely why I want one. A small packet sniffer if need be, and something easily portable for talking to the Cisco...
Of course, we could not POSSIBLY request people take responsibility for their own possessions and actions.
Where would we be then?
But here's my question...
If you do not secure it, how am I to know you DON'T want to share it?

Okay, how's this then?
The Via Unichrome Pro in my laptop sucks. Do a little research for Linux and Unichromes and you'll see the issues with them are legion.
Hey, I'm going to move that window over...And there goes the entire desktop again....
So there. Your long time is over.
(Mind you, I wouldn't be averse to Compiz/Beryl, but a useful desktop is my high priority now).
Thirding.
They work.
Plus, when the Public Interest Registry issue was going on, Dotster provided funding and lobbying to keep it in public hands.

Tell me about FF3B4 being unstable....
