If you want to play economics and war, one could argue that the reason we stayed out for so long was it was more profitable to sell to both sides. When that was no longer the case, we joined the war effort.
No, it is called being "well rounded". Just because you listen to what they say doesn't mean you have to believe it.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
Perhaps you forgot your browsing habits and the fact that correlation can be a powerful tool. Couple that with the ubiquity of google code (analytics, adsense) and I don't believe it is completely unreasonable to hypothesize that they could figure it out... Not to say that they do "automatically", but if you were to come under investigation for something I'm sure they could do the math.
The skill set of those running the linux based botnets is a little higher. It doesn't mean they aren't out there... many routers are infected and run linux just for an example, and there are quite a few rogue webservers out there too. The question for botnet owners really boils down to "do you want to run a 500 strong linux server botnet or a 2.5 million strong Windows/PC botnet?" Given the number of dual and quad core systems on the consumer market I think most would agree the latter is a better ROI.
I saw thunderbird 3 go crazy and keep redownloading and indexing the same messages from an imap server over and over and over until it turned a couple hundred MB of email into 34GB and completely filled the user's hard drive. The only thing that stopped it was to remove the program and delete the profile. No problems with thunderbird 2 or outlook on the same imap server. Thunderbird 3 while it has nice features has some serious bugs. Be warned!
the browser support for ftp is typically intended for anonymous browsing. If you want full fledged support for ftp and its secured variants get an ftp client. I don't complain that filezilla doesn't browse the web well...
Yes, absolutely Anonymous Coward. I am a moron that doesn't understand basic English. Please correct me oh wise one. Is best: most easily comprehended, most scientifically accurate, or most clever? Perhaps it is the most entertaining or something else entirely? It can't possibly be that there can be more than one "best" depending on an individual's opinion or criteria. And since it is not reasonable to believe that there must be only one universal "best", we must hold all advertisers accountable for describing a business, product, or service as "the best" since they must have data showing that they are universally the best beyond any doubt. That seams reasonable. Alternately, the State could fix or eliminate their very, very flawed tests (that I did well on by the way, but still thought were absurd).
Having taken standardized tests in Florida, I can assure you that it isn't an issue with 'lazy teachers'. Once they started doing testing the "schooling" became more about test taking skills and less and less about knowledge. On top of that the tests often had unanswerable questions - particularly in math (often the only answers had order of operations errors) and the English tests were utter nonsense (reading comprehension was less about understanding the content and more about opinion, such as "which is the best title" wtf does best mean?).
why don't you request they add a shield on it? That's what they do around here. It blocks 180 degrees and still allows the light to go down where it is needed without lighting up your room. The laser isn't going to do you much good, as the sensors are often on top of the lights.
except that the standards published are always a few versions behind and in reality none of those players will play any of the most recent content reliably. Sure, they work for some simple stuff but calling them an open alternative is hardly fair. Sure, they could be if adobe published their intentions in advance but then they would lose their advantage. Same problem with PDF on the creation end. Sure, it is open, but if you want the most recent features in acrobat from a free or even paid alternative, too bad, they haven't been published yet.
did you set your z-indexes properly? Did you account for all browsers when you wrote the video tags? I ran into trouble with buttons when there were multiple formats for fallback and messing with the video tags a bit seemed to straighten things out in the troubled browsers (chrome seems to be the far most forgiving and safari the least forgiving with multiple formats, but I haven't checked safari 5 yet).
Perhaps it is an issue with firefox (at least on mac, but I've heard complaints from PC users lately too). Flash, heavy java or even javascript and the browser grinds to a halt. Leave it open with more than 3 or 4 tabs and it gets slower and slower until after about 30 hours of being open it must be force quit.
With plugin support in chrome and safari I might leave for good - web kit is really kicking the crap out of gecko right now performance and reliability wise.
As someone who has been trying to get better crawling for several local news sources on google news, no it is not that all newspapers are blocking google, it is just that google has not been doing a very good job of determining local issue priority.
Sports is easy, but it is more difficult for the google bots to quantify other types of news. Google likes to pull in similar stories and grade them based on popularity and then more or less randomly show the articles for each subject. Sports scores are easy to compare and determine they are generally the same subject matter, local news stories not so much so. For example, one local paper may have a story titled "Locals use pools to cool off during Summer months" while another paper may report "Locals dive in to escape heat wave". In some cases there might be only one local paper reporting on a subject.
If you look at google's news content it is almost all rehashed versions of AP stories and syndicated content - there is a reason. Google looks for similar stories and tries to pull them together. The more there are the more important the story is, or so goes the logic. The reality is that this doesn't work well for small towns and smaller news organizations. In my case I have resorted to sending actual "featured news" feeds to google, which they seem to have begun incorporating. If google wants to "save" the industry however, they have a great deal more work to do.
If the light didn't work well for you it was adjusted poorly or you weren't riding fast enough. The only problems with them were: a) You had to ride relatively quickly to generate much light b) It added a significant amount of friction to your wheel meaning you had to ride harder and c) The light stopped when you stopped.
That said, a few modifications such as adding a capacitor to even out the light (acting as a voltage regulator), changing the light bulb to LED, and lowering the friction caused by the generator wheel and it would probably work phenomenally well. I was happy even back then though.

No, they are being sold to clear the shelf space for something else. Why aren't libraries using these scanners and pricing their books appropriately?
unless you have tmobile prepaid or another carrier that blocks this so they can charge for 411.
The technical details are that I have an incompatible browser? Really Slashdot? Did you even check the links? of course not...

There's no known Linux-based botnets
The skill set of those running the linux based botnets is a little higher.

Eco-friendly?
I don't think that word means what you think it means...

think harrier.
i'd say a specific linux build for national security sensitive applications is in order
Try setting SE Linux to "enabled".
Thank god. The on-top tabs is the single thing I hate most about chrome.
I tried, but it is pay-walled. Oh well. I guess I will stay ignorant until an unlocked source appears.
Did they actually copy sourcecode? If not then they didn't do anything wrong - gameplay is not protected under copyright law. IANAL.

That just looks like a lame knockoff of Yellowstone.
