as though we really need yet another reason to use flashblock...
I've checked the demo, and although the flash is blocked, it initially modifies my clipboard content. But I can use ctrl-c to replace it with something else. If the flash isn't blocked, ctrl-c is useless.
So flashblock kinda helps you, but you're still vulnerable.
Basically this guy is saying "That laptop over there doesn't have anything illegal on it. Those pigs are just lying ignorant bastards who wouldn't know a playboy bunny shot from japanese tentacle porn. But you guys on the jury are just going to have to trust me on that because I damned sure ain't going to let ANYBODY see my porn stash." That just doesn't sound like the sort of thing a jury is going to buy. I damned sure wouldn't.
Man I sure hope you never end up serving as a juror... how can you be so ignorant? Even if I wasn't guilty, I wouldn't find it acceptable to give out my password...
That's where Truecrypt (with a hidden partition inside another encrypted partition) comes in very handy...
We're talking about 12 square miles of solar panels... i was just wondering how are they going to clean them. Do they use something like a windscreen wiper?
From what I've read, it doesn't have an autorotate feature... When the keyboard is out it's in landscape, otherwise it is in portrait mode... I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I kinda like the fact it has an actual qwerty keyboard, but i would have liked autorotate also...
Be warned, it's a full featured movie, runtime about two hours...
Just be patient through the religion (criticizing) part of the movie (which i personally enjoyed to be honest)... it all makes sense in the end. And it covers some stuff you will surely find interesting.
You should really go to France to see some photography paranoia.
I've been to Scotland for a month, and nobody gave me a bad time about taking photos.
They kindly asked me in a museum to turn the flash off. That was my mistake... i apologized.
You are right about smoking in the working place...
But it should be my right, as a restaurant/bar/pub owner to allow smoking in my restaurant/bar/pub. I should be able to put up a sign that says "Smoking allowed. Deal with it!". You don't smoke, or can't stand smoking, you're free to go somewhere else to eat/drink. Nobody's forcing you to go in if you don't like it.
I think we all like some censorship. I would like to avoid ever hearing about or seeing child porn
If you ignore the issue, it won't just disappear, you know? Maybe you should do something about it... start a foundation or something, if you really care about this. Or at least find one and donate some money, or maybe some volunteer work.
and would not like my children to have access to easy recipes for explosives and drugs. (Access to scientific materials is legitimate and should be encouraged, and if they can find out how to make explosives and drugs from that, it's probably not a bad thing.)
Really, what is the difference? Do you have children, or were you just speaking hypothetically?
It's ok to reinvent heroin, but not so ok to prepare it after a recipe?
If your children don't know how to tell right from wrong and need censorship to stay out of trouble and behave, maybe you didn't do such a good job as a parent.
Like Chris Rock said: "I mean, they don't grade fathers. But if your daughter's a stripper, you fucked up."
The consumer needs to be able to choose whatever components they want, and tose components should work together to the best of their ability. Like you get to choose what player you want to use to manage your music when you buy an Ipod, right? Or a 8 bit display on a MacBook/Pro (Pro - isn't that ironic?)
Microsoft is immediately going to feel the need to compete with this (irrational as that may be). By your logic we should all stop using operating systems/personal computers in order to stop the abominable evil that is Microsoft.
In no way should anyone try to do something innovative (or useful), for the fear of M$ coming along and somehow make us pay through our noses.
OOXML is *NOT* worthy of ISO approval. Any rational review of the "standard," will show that it is incomplete, non-specific, and completely worthless as a blue print on how to implement a document reader for a document. And how exactly do you know this for sure? Have you even read it?!?
From what I read, it's bricked until Apple submits a fix. There's really nothing you can do by yourself. So we could say it's "temporarily bricked". Not sure though, so please correct me if I'm wrong...
Parent is right. This things are "in the eye of the beholder". Once I flashed a BIOS with a version from a similar mobo (stupid, I know). Offcourse, after I restarted the pc, it was dead. I took out the eeprom and flashed it again on another motherboard (wasn't even the same manufacturer) and everything turned out okay. But still, I know allot of people that would have just bought another motherboard, dismissing the old one as just a paperweight.
... "getting things done" is tipped in Windows favor just because of compatibility issues such as Word vs OpenOffice
What the hell are you talking about? Compatibility issues? Try opening an.odt text file in Office 2007 and then you'll understand the true meaning of that syntax.
Why is anyone paying so much for an office suite when there are free alternatives out there? What is keeping us all from switching to Open Office? Our stupidity perhaps...
Oh, did I mention the special features of Open Office, like error free multiplication? Latest tech stuff...
But some are supportive of Vista. This from Zygote, posted January 21:
"Have any of you nay-sayers actually used Vista for any length of time? Remember the learning curve when we went from 98/2000 to XP; Same thing, put some effort in and you might not be so negative about it. I've had Vista on my laptop virtually since launch and I haven't had any major issues with it."
This guy seems to be totally clueless... How can you put windows 98 and windows 2000 in the same basket? Just because in his mind they look alike? XP is blue, right, so it's totally different.
What is the learning curve for going from 2000 to xp? For the casual user it's the same thing, except the uglier interface. Under the hood it's also the same thing, with some improvements (well, that really is debatable).
It really amuses me when guys like that get quoted as if they knew what are they talking about.

How about other problems? Like cleaning the solar panels from dust and other debris which could significantly lower the power output?

What are they trying to do to our beloved global warming? It's all a big conspiracy man, I'm telling you.
