I've had some notebooks, most of which I daily used, run XP for half a year and more without reboots. Given reliable hardware and good drivers, XP is rock fucking stable. (Mmm, ThinkPads back when they still were IBM through-and-through).
Stab wounds by sharpened spikes tend to be so small, clean and ungory. Why not replace that spike with some pointy glass shards that are sure to cause more blood to be spilt everywhere (less used cars sold means more new cars sales), break off once inside the driver's chest? This would have the added benefit of warning passengers not to be the driver in an accident.
Like most (all?) optional safety features in modern cars, this thing waits for the driver to react before doing anything by itself. Unless your soccer moms aren't paying any attention to the audible signal or the windscreen HUD (gotta love that part), they're going to drive along just fine.
Note to self: Combine a few suction cups, a stick, some cord and a ball with betterunixthanunix's car's rear proximity sensor for unlimited acceleration awesomeness.
Heh. The number of seeds is reported by the Tracker to all clients, including torrent aggregators like btjunkie or torrent finder. Search results are often sorted by the number of seeds (or, alternatively seeds - peers). High positions in search results might attract new users. New users generate ad revenue.
Need I say more?;)
P.S.: Most trackers will only tell up to 50 addresses of seeds/peers to any peer at any one time.
On holidays I often buy local SIM cards. This has several advantages:
- Saves money (PAYG tends to be cheaper than roaming on a foreign contract)
- Saves me more money (When roaming I'd pay by the minute for incoming calls. On a foreign number, the caller pays)
- I enjoy my "away" time. If nobody knows my number (save, of course, some close friends and/or relatives), nobody will bother me. I can always check the voice mail when I feel like it.
I'd imagine a lot of people might be doing the same, so some of those 72M SIM cards may very well be stored in various drawer, cabinets or whatnots throughout Europe.
Add lots of people with business as well as personal cells and the number begins to make sense.
Let's see...
Earn, say, $5000 per Month working on something for two months.
Pay, say, $3000 for that project to be done in India or wherever.
Make $7k (per concurrent employment) while at the same time programming whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it. Sure sounds like a ton of fun.
$3 per day is $91.43 per (average) month, enough for FiOS ($42.99) and a rather nicely configured ThinkPad (Business Leases starting at $31/mo). What else could one possibly want?
(Additional investments: Box (60 sheets) o' Kleenex: $2, Bottle (2oz) o' Neutrogena hand lotion: $4.);)
So, between 1999-ish and 2008, verification shrunk from "extensive" to 5-10 mins of clickery. Let's, for the sake of rounded numbers, assume that EV SSL will go the same way in the course of five years, from about 2005 to about 2010.
If history does indeed repeat itself, EEV SSL and it's successors will, in the same fashion, have a lifespan of 5 years from "extensive" to 5-10 mins of security. At 18 bits of colour depth per pixel, Apple users have 1.3 Million years of "new" colours for browser vendors to colour the address bar in; most other display makers' customers have 83 Million years (24 bits of depth) left until the address bar color turns SSL-yellow again. Seems fine to me:]
There's one problem:
Wachovia tells their users to enter their credentials on the unsecured front page, which then submits to a secure script processing said credentials.
What you might be forgetting: What if I set up interception on my shared WiFi (or somewhere at the backbone of the hypothetical ISP I might be working for) to grab all HTTP requests for / going to r3wec01.wachovia.com and add a tiny bit of JavaScript that, in addition to the page working as it usually does, posts all keypresses to a script of my choosing?
Without access to WB's certificate, I couldn't do that on a properly secured HTTPS site. Thanks to unencrypted HTTP, it's pretty trivial.
Hmm let's see:
- Passionate, great sex as long as it lasts: Check.
- The thrill of forbiddenness: Check.
- Not having to provide emotional or financial support: Check.
- None of the cuddling/talking or any strings (except, of course, the one she'll take off pretty quickly) attached: Check.
- None of the divorce trouble: Check.
It may not be too viable in the very long run, but being the back door man for a couple of years doesn't sound that bad, does it? Definately make that an ":)".
Would you mind basing your claims on something? I have just tried about a quarter of the w3c's SVG 1.1 Full test suite and got perfect results (as far as I can tell), in Opera. Please supply a counter-example, would you?
The same goes for XSLT/XML. Please pardon my ignorance as I'm only aware of two examples of proper XSLT used "in the wild": Blizzard's WoWArmory and FeedBurner's feeds. Both work perfectly in Opera 9.5, though the former requires "Mask as Firefox" so it's not delivered in plain-old XHTML. Anyways, I did put up with enough examples. Please follow suit or shut up.
I don't socialize with CBEs and FRSs that often, but of the people who hold academic/professional titles, many favour not to overuse them. Many of those who insist on their titles appear to do so in an effort to hide any insecurities behind bureaucracy and hierarchy, so it's not something the truly excellent would need to.
Talking to someone representing not themself (the person) but any given role, is, of course, different. As an example, on official occasions most political figures will instruct whomever's talking to them to address them as president/councillor/etc, probably not to hide behind their title but to stress their presence as a function instead of a person.
Have fun switching. All your issues, solved:
Logins: The dialog isn't blocking the page load, so just wait two seconds before clicking any of it's buttons and see if you entered the correct info.
Search: Ctrl+F opens a dialog for non-incremental searching, great for huge documents on old computers. . or / open a small search prompt at the bottom of the page, for incremental search. , opens the same prompt, searching for links.
NoScript: Press F12, check or uncheck "Enable JavaScript" to whatever suits your situation. Rinse and repeat for animated gifs, Java, Flash ("Plug-Ins") or sound.
Adblock list: Opera Software, ASA is a business, so them providing (and even worse: activating) an adblocking list with their browser would probably get them into deep shit with lots of advertisers. Lawsuit-type shit. There are unofficiallists, though;)
Strangely enough, in my unmodified install of Opera's current stable version, an svg example renders just as well as the WoW Armory in it's full XMLy glory ("Mask as Fx", checked the source to make sure there was no XHTML;)). Having said that, I'd like you to have sexual intercourse somewhere else (i.e. "fuck off").
Firefox [matching] Opera [...] feature for feature
Yeah, right. Looking forward to built-in mail, IRC, decent feed reader, mouse gestures, mobile device preview, widget engine, speed dial, content blocking, in-place source editing, previews on tabs and ctrl-tab menu (and, talking about it: a decent ctrl-tab menu) user javascript and both incremental and non-incremental and in-page link search. Also: an awesome bar that actually delivers.
Get it more often, then. 275 items per day is about 12 per hour (let's assume 50/hr at peak). Find out how many items the feed contains, half that number and make that the time between refreshes (e.g. 20 items => refresh in a 10 minute interval).
I, for one, found the Box iPhones come in way less practical or nice than the Zune packaging.
With the former, you're practically bound to rip the carton on the first try of getting to all the cabling (I'm talking about that lid under the plastic shell). Also the squarish power adaptor is quite awkward to put back.
The Zune packaging is a real bitch to put back together, but very nice to open up. The pretty black carton containing the actual device comes out easily and the cables are neatly packaged away. Though the text on the USB cable's box is unfortunate, from a design PoV.
How many people would notice if Mozilla decided to not compile Fx from the sources they publish anymore and switch to a "slightly improved" codebase? (And by "slightly improved", I of course mean "spyware-filled")
