In the UK Those that have been released and are deemed 'high risk' are monitored regularly, and the local neighbours are informed.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
They are so well monitored at any one time they are unsure were a third (iirc) of them are. It's been all over the news (yes i do take the news with a pinch of salt) how crap the monitoring is.
To be fair if it was windows we'd never know which bit of the code was exploitable or why just that there was an exploit after all we cant SEE their source.
Good news is that this will be fixed in 2.30.2 in the next month instead of left to be fixed in windows 2012 if ever...
Lawyers are known to be friendly to whoever is paying them..
When employeed by the RIAA ofc they are going to be aggressive to earn their keep.
When employed by DoJ they don't care about the RIAA the govenment is paying them so they do what the government wants and if the govenment doesnt care they use their own views.
Logically (most) lawyers don't like to repersent rapists (for example) but they will when paid..
1) Microsoft does notify you if you actually read the information about what you are downloading.
2) Firefox also notifies you when it starts up. If you don't want it just click disable. Microsoft knows this, and took no steps to try and stealth it in, so its RELYING on firefox's built in addon-notification. I don't see anything wrong with this.
1) ahh it's ok they told me I just missed it while reading the 67 other security updates. As long as it is in the small print that's ok..
2) Part of the problem is that Disable IS DISABLED!!!!
Lets take a look at my Addon's and Plugins... approximately 1/3rd of them were not explicitly installed by me, this is that half:
Well You might want to watch what you install then. ALL of mine (bar the MS one) were installed by me on purpose.
But hey I don't care it's only on my work laptop as I have switched to xubuntu at home.
Gore is pretty much irrelevent however I do think it has a place. For example I like the Hitman series. In the 1st one there was bullet holes/decals on the bodies I liked this as it allowed me to see where I hit as opposed to yes i hit or no i missed. I was rather annoyed at the future hitman installments removing this, for me it was all about the perfect head shot in the 1st one, right between the eyes.
I did think the manhunt series was boring mainly due to the limited number of death animations and the excessive gore.
I do prefer games that have some gore over those that have none, for example when a rpg shell blows someone to pieces it is more realistic than them just falling over. It's all about the realism the game creates the more realistic the more I enjoy the game (assuming the gameplay is there).
In fact the constant pressure NOT to speed causes accidents because I now spend more time looking at my speedo making sure I ain't speeding as I go through the 20th speed camera instead of looking at the road a head of me.
If you can't maintain a constant speed with minimal effort, you're not a very good driver and certainly shouldn't be going anywhere near high speeds. One of the most basic things drivers learn is how to maintain a constant speed. Few things are more aggravating than being being a driver who keeps speeding up and slowing down.
So your speed never varies at all? even if the road bends? you don't slow down and speed up?..
and it seems you know your exact speed without looking at the speedo fuck me you are good..
Hmmm I think you may have a problem with your ability to drive.
Regardless of how hard you argue if you are looking at your speedo you are NOT looking at the road and at any speed taking your eyes off the road for as little as a second can cause an accident.
Oh and if the car in front slows down and speeds up I find staying back from them helps you can just lift your foot off the accelerator without braking. So if you stop tailgating you should be ok.
Safe speed is what should be encouraged. On a dry, clear day with a well maintained car do 90mph on the motorway. However when it's dark & foggy slow the fuck down and take it easy..
So speed limits should vary depending on conditions? Whose deifnition of safe speed is going to matter then? How are you going to enforce it?
Strange works very well in france. They vary the speed on both road conditions and vehicles. As to enforce it we could try using traffic police instead of cameras, I am fairly sure that the police are intelligent enough to determine what the weather is like while they stand in it with a speed gun.
Take the common if you had hit little girl X and 30 instead of 35 she would have lived arguement. I can counter that with had I been doing 45 I'd have been passed her before she stepped on the road (assuming the same timeline)..
Arguing about where the speed would put you is idiotic because it cuts off both ways: go slower and you wouldn't have reached her. The things to consider are ability for involved parties to react, concentration required to drive safely and damage inflicted. Driving faster means you both have less time to react, you have to be able to concentrate harder on what is going on and you'll cause more damage on impact.
Going faster has been scientifically proven to increase a drivers concentration. (I can't be bothered to find the article but iirc the study was carried out in italy.
Also as I stated earlier safe speed is the key, in built up housing estates 20mph should be max. However as stated the motorway is safe to speed on and little girls shouldn't be playing there. Yes you are correct that lower speed limits damage & gives more time to react, but using that logic surely we should just ban cars altogether and just walk after all 2mph is a lot safer than 20mph or 30mph. If we start lowering speeds as a knee jerk response where do we stop?
As I keep stating speed is not the issue, bad driving is look further down this thread and I have posted 2 links to (reports of) government studies proving speeding is a low percentage. In fact the 1st link lists a break down by percentage of accident causes, "Failed to look properly" wins fyi. So lets not concentrate on the section that even if we are 100% successful in eradicating will have (in the grand scheme of things) fuck all overall impact.

If only 47 had a cell phone with gps location of his targets...
that the games they have released were crap and they are delaying Splinter Cell yet again..
If you have the money a MS SMS server (or what ever they are calling the new version) may be worth looking at.
haha.
When I started my job we had 2 servers for every 1 employee. Never mind the desktop to employee ratio.
Thankfully I have now reduced that to about 4 employees per server.
we use it and to say I am less than impressed would be an understatement. It is slow, goes offline for an hour each day and isn't overly cheap.
What is the difference between GPL and AGPL?
the part where the original poster said "Running Linux" may not have made it all the way in.
Fixed that... This is /. we can't acknowledge anything other than linux. Zombies say "mmmm brains".. /.ers say "mmmm Linux"
FYI the Irish have a law against Blasphemy so I will appraciate it if you never mention that product again or I'll be forced to sue you.
He's Irish.
What amazes me, is you think they wouldn't.. Credit where credit is due, one thing MS are good at if nothing else is marketing.
To be fair if it was windows we'd never know which bit of the code was exploitable or why just that there was an exploit after all we cant SEE their source.

It's out of copyright in the UK, 50years is the limit here :D
take into account potential sales lost to piracy?
After all it would have been revenue for the Company (at least that's what they tell us)..
Would the judge be willing to go to the patent office and starting look for all MS patents and then rule on each of them?
Once finished he could then move onto other patents and clear the whole place up..
You're not a real geek.. I got my copy via ftp just so i didnt have to use IE... :D
I'd have thought the newspaper's use would have been commercial as it was added to entice readers to read. She should have attached a EULA... :D

this is old news.. That extension was "added" at least a year ago i think..
It looks like IRC with a few other features just combined in to one interface.
:D and I still love starting it up.. Nothing like the grinding of a floppy drive in the morning..

urine be recycled indefinatly or is there a limit on the number of times it can be processed.
If there is no limit then travelling to the outreaches of the galaxy just got one step closer. We just need to sort out food and aging (or speed)..
