There is a flaw in there logic though, while it is true that MORE housewives go for linux and LESS geeks do, they fail to take into account that MORE is LESS and LESS is MORE..:)
Beacuse someone may have set today aside to download it say between 0900 and 1200. That same person may be travelling from 1300 until next week therefore missing the download windows due to lack of internet connections.
Because the Dowload DAY starts at 10am PST on the 17th..
Which to SOME people is the 18th of June, yes there is a world out side of the US shock/horror.
If you are going to have a world wide "DAY" then you should either start at 00:00 UTC OR specify the start time in UTC OR Have a count down time so people can work out when it starts.
The main agro from all this is that:
a) They said the 17th but never specifed the Time zone
b) The Never specified a time (so people logically thought midnight)
c) They never specified a Timezone full stop.
TBPFH I am rather annoyed, As I assumed the start would be at 00:00 UTC and was looking forward to the massive rush to download it being over and me being able to download it @ 0930 in work.
Instead after much fafing about I finally discover ON THE FORUMS the time is 1000 PST, IT WASN'T EVEN NOTED ON THE FRONT PAGE!
Don't get me wrong I love FF but after this I wouldn't trust mozilla to organize a piss up in a brewery!
Go ahead Nokia and write the code that forces open-source software to respect DRM and content locks... just make sure your code is well-commented. Thanks!
If possible please also add a define to enable the DRM, the following should be suffice:
I wouldn't even deem it impossible to make me a pedophile by my search records, maybe something I searched for was some sort of code for a pedo page.
True BUT Do you have pictures of child porn in your online photo album?
The point is its not search records, as far as i can see, being released its the unlocking of online photo albums.
At the end of the day we need to redefine "rights", there are certain people who just shouldnt have any full stop.
Human Rights is a load of balls, There have been more criminals getting away with something because of their "human rights" than decent people being protected by them.
pft obviously you lot know nothing about security.
Get her to make an nice obscure password write it down on a yellow postit note and stick it to the screen thats what most users do.. Works for the following reasons: 1) You dont have to remember it 2) Surely noone will believe that you are stupid enough to put all your passwords on a postit note. 3) Even if they do believe that then the shear fact that they are decent people will prevent them from useing it..:)
I am actually crying.. I mean reading MS's superhero page actually brought tears to my eyes. I think I have lost the will to live.
That HAS to be the most depressing and pathetic thing I have seen in years.
Maybe the big bad penguin TUX will be the evil genius that is trying to lure potential windows developers away, and the new "superheroes" will rally to their aid.
Its not even 1700 and after reading that I need a drink..
I have to agree with the article. At Uni I was taught java much to my detriment and annoyance (I had taught myself VB6 prior to going to uni so wasnt a newbie to programming).
I find I am now having to teach myself C++, and am struggling in a lot of areas that had I been taught in Uni I would be a lot more confident in.
I would go with the OpenSource. It is free (mostly as in beer) and there is generally great community support. You could trial it for a year and if it fails then go back to the old software..
The biggest hurdle in open source software imo is getting people out of their comfort zone in order to use it.
In saying that I am slightly bias as I disagree with people using the likes dreamweaver for anything other than RAD. Better to code by hand, you learn more. The number of people I have using dreamweaver/contribute that come to me with problems that they could have solved if they had even a basic understanding of HTML.
A lot of apps have OS counterparts that do the job as well or better.
Even in work I use OOo instead of MS Office while everyone else uses MS office.
1. They are not "freeloading" off his bandwidth as long as he doesnt use p2p.
2. By so called "freeloading" it is making his downloads faster as there is a greater overall bandwidth available.
I think he needs to sit down and think before he speaks..
Slashdot Mirror
made me lol..

time for a bit of $grep.

(ok that was really bad even by my standards)
GPL = General Public Libertarians??

BSD = Berkeley Social Democrats??
He'd have got 15years for manslaughter - 50% remission - time spent on remand = about 5years actual time.
He have got his own cell, 3 square meals, a playstation 3 and a TV.
muh they are sisters.. hmmm sister sandwich..
for politicians to use on campaigns...
I'd have to murder them putting campaign thoughts in my head..
Toot with this i can now insert the message "Sleep with me" in the heads of attractive women everywhere!!!
Denise Richards & the olsen twins here I come..
Remember, some people are alive simply because it is illegal to shoot them..
Politicians wanted war in iraq.. I say give the Politicians & their families the guns and let them fight see how egar they are to go to war then!!
I'll be shouting "for COWBOYNEAL" (damn caps restriction)
The Roads.
I think all the ISPs should choose a date and time and then shut the internet down for a period of several hours in protest to this.
If they show that they have the power the governemts will have to back down. I would support them 100% dispite the annoyance that it would cause me..
True.. but if you have physical access you can "bug" the system thereby getting true wholesale with greater effect, and less chance of detection.
He is officially an Ex-Carlin
Or maybe give him a caffine overdose?

Have to agree..

Mind you I nver noticed a performance hit on windows.. Infact Windows + apache + php runs just fine
Besides lets be honest here who in their right mind uses a windows webserver for php..
Oh wait, people who dont know any better..
sharezaa team should sue for GPL violation & copyright infringment.

Might have to get the warning tatooed on my knob.. My g/f is addicted to it.. :)
Seriously though, how sad is that, bit like having the "hot water" warning on the hot water tap, WTF you expect the hot water to be cold???
