All that matters is that your referrer is google. Doesnt have to be cached-- if what you see on the live page is different from what the googlebot sees, google will drop them from the results for SEO violations.
It may be that youre expecting too much-- I dont think the average person even with access to density data could answer that question: are they chocolate chips (less density / more airspace)? What % cocoa? Melted? Solid? Powder? Is it white chocolate?
I would rather that google give me exact, correct conversions when it can, than to guess in situations where it doesnt have the info it needs and leave me with worse-than-no-information.
It's quite possible that either Microsoft doesn't want HV running on the boxes because there's the possibility of loading up some form of VMware on the machine, leading to such evils as experimentation with Linux, or Apple doesn't want it there because no HV could help prevent the installation of MacOS.
Uninformed troll, much?
Windows 7 has an "XP mode" which allows running programs to run which work with XP but not with windows 7. It is virtual machine based, and it REQUIRES HV.
I could almost swear most of this info was in the summary...
If a website has shoddy security, thats not the cookie's fault. You could do that just as easily by opening his saved passwords list. If the password is being stored locally, SUPRISE! you can retrieve it one way or the other-- even if you have to resort to sniffing.
People apparently also make stupid, illinformed assumptions. Any chance that the price you pay for kindle content is lower because you're explicitly NOT purchasing it, youre licensing it? Any chance that that content simply will not be available if publishers do not get incentives to use the platform-- like the ability to revoke books?
Some (many) customers probably dont care about digital freedom, DRM controversies, etc, and just want to read their damn books. Whether or not its leased to them may be irrelevant-- many people like libraries.
Is this why amazon offers DRM-free MP3s to its customers at lower prices than DRM-laden itunes (something like $0.75 per song on big albums)? Apparently knee-jerk business bashing earns +4 insightful these days; I suppose being a successful company and screwing up once in a while is the best way to earn hate on slashdot. Are you really comparing AT&T to Amazon?
I dont think that this proves that DRM is a problem-- it does solve certain issues, and Valve has used it quite well. Some people may want to own every piece of content they pay for, and want to manage its backups and whatnot, so DRM seems like a problem to them. But there are many people who like the idea of not having to worry about backups, or do not wish to pay full price for something they will access a few times.
Thats not to say that Amazon didnt screw up here, but dont go blaming DRM for what Amazon did-- DRM allows for far better solutions (such as perhaps replacing an improperly licensed version with the proper version, at Amazon's expense).
It just seems like the attitudes seen on/. are "screw libraries, i want to own my books". Thats great, some people like libraries.
You're either not a citizen, or a troll, or uninformed. Your taxes do not pay for constitutional rights, either--they pay for the benefits that you DO reap (law enforcement, road upkeep, sewage, fire protection, emergency care even if you cannot pay, etc). Also, I'm a citizen and do not have this free healthcare I keep hearing mentioned-- it is one of my employment benefits. Are you sure that you are referring to the right country?

Im lost, doesnt slashdot normally ridicule rulings that tie a person to a crime based only on IP address? Doesnt this ruling toss that right out the window?
Or am I being silly in expecting people on slashdot to be logical and consistent in their beliefs? Im sorry if ive ruined your "bash judges" party.
Wouldnt you be just as well off using some distro of linux+wine at that point? Just a heads up, im pretty sure theres NO EULA at all, so no worries about DRM, activation, or worries about evil corps ransacking your data....
Theres such a thing as IE tab, which would allow both the legacy code to work (it works with OWA!), as well as allowing folks to use a modern, secure browser.
Or, they could pull their heads out of the sand and realize that installing firefox|chrome|opera doesnt uninstall ie6...
Blizzard unofficially supports Linux, just so you know. Thats why theres an OpenGL switch in the configs (also possibly for macs, but who cares about those:P).
And i think "never" is overbroad--the people who care about battlefield 2 arent the same people who give 2 shits about M-audio. So if a big audio company switches to linux, and its competitors follow suit to stay relevant, Linux is all of a sudden useable for another niche of users. If gaming companies decide to tap into the audiophile-gamer folks, another niche can use it.
It may be that google is sticking with java because its highly platform agnostic, and runs on everything under the sun. Does.Net stuff run on iphones, blackberries, AND windows mobile? Didnt think so.
Im just not sure thats true, google seems to be pretty good at adapting. Planting ads in youtube vids in non-obnoxious ways, inline ads when the sidebar ads are blocked, there are many routes they could take. Also, who really fires up adblocking just for google? Are their ads REALLY that obnoxious? I dont think its a pressing need for most consumers.
Thats irrelevant--90% of google runs on whatever OS is on 90% of computers. Thats where your analogy breaks up, not only does the "lemonade stand" have awfully deep pockets itself, but it isnt reliant on windows in any way-- it doesnt matter to google if windows goes down, google's market share wont budge.
probably because of the complaints from old players that the green crap level 71 blew the snot out of their gold raid gear they fought so hard at level 70.
Um....what? My BT/Hyj / ZA gear lasted well up until level 76-77 or so. Even at 80 there were a few pieces I continued to use. When they added sockets at level 70, one side effect was that pieces with TONS of sockets scaled fantastically well--most quest gear doesnt have sockets. The vengeful/brutal PVP gear likewise blew the snot out of most pieces until I hit 77-78.
The irony of the whole system, actually, was that due to how they did combat ratings, that +48 crit rating from sockets at level 70 is way better than it is at 80--it goes from being 2% to 1%. So as I leveled, my gear got worse and worse.
Thats a hoot, except the boss is as likely to either A) be one of those sticky-note folks or B) fire YOU for making ridiculously complex password rules. 6 months is probably OK, but far too often, its pushed up to 1-2 month password expirations. I can remember esoteric information, yes--but in many of those examples you gave there is linked information which helps in remembering. If you dont understand why its easier to remember a funny part in a movie, and to remember a random, 9 character alpha-numeric password (and forget the old, and remember the new, exactly, every 2 months!) then you're sorely disconnected from the rest of the human race. Keep in mind that your system doesnt lock you out if you mis-quote that monty python line.

I take issue with the term "well-regarded, commercial". It seems to imply that they would be more reliable than opensource software, for some vague "its not enterprisey" reason, when the opensource programs are just plain better. Stupid attitudes like this lead to reliance on big name vendors with shitty products just because its a big name vendor...which seems backwards to me (i would hope theyd be big name vendors BECAUSE of their product!).

except humans dont have a penile bone, so no.
More likely they have plenty of proprietary apps and data tied up in proprietary formats and switching to FLOSS would be a royal PITA
This sounds like an EXCELLENT reason to switch. Do you suppose that problem gets larger or smaller by ignoring it?
What plugins are you using? What addons? Those affect it, you know.
You could use the chromium based SRWare Iron, which has that crap stripped out, allows adblocking, etc etc
Its a sign of failure when noone even bothers to mod you troll...
The joke was regarding minimum requirements that microsoft sets, not what the os could handle.
