That just sounds to me like the biggest pile of circumventing, euphemistic bullcrap I've read in a long time. If you want to make your game, go ahead and do it and don't pretend that the people who play it aren't having 'fun'. If you get to deal with the consequences then man-up and face the music. Don't try to explain away with fancy words that what's just controversial and that what's just human nature. Bah.
If your phone has a feature that no-one uses, is it really a feature?
Eh yes. Because sometimes, the use of a feature is also a function of the user's intelligence, training, awareness or needs. My mother might use my PC, but I'm pretty sure/she/ wouldn't touch the gcc installed on it. Yet my PC continues to 'feature' gcc.
It is a problem that is starting to pervade glibc anyway - the last few years seem to have been solely dedicated to 'tarting up' glibc with thread-safety and locale-awareness (and UTF). To keep things just as speedy, they have 'macrofied' a lot things; a lot of things you used to think were functions are now actually macros (which is a disaster for re-linking, but that's another discussion (I'm looking at you, Oracle !)). And it's not just embedded stuff that suffers (although they suffer the most); if I run a server which does not use threads, then any re-entrancy adds a few instructions per call. I don't know - it just adds up where it shouldn't. The ability to use a glibc as efficiently as possible according to your wishes,/should/ become an option. Do it via multiple glibc's, make the compiler choose them via #defines, or via relocation-on-the-fly, I don't care. But it's gotta happen. Not everybody likes that java-finish on their functionality.
The only thing I can think of that could break this, is lack of efficiency on the human's part. That is, if the test, or the judgement takes time, then this is time that automated algorithms usually do not have. They want to inject, mass-mail, or do whatever they maliciously want to do, quickly. But then again, they might not.
What he's saying is that, even among pirated songs, Britney Spears (or some such) still tops the list. That argument is invalidated for two reasons: 1) It doesn't take into account the changes that would *have* to happen once we do away with copyrights, broadly speaking. Because we do not have such a world right now. We. Simply. Cannot. Know. 2) It doesn't take into account that 100% prosecution of sharing implies 100% loss of freedom to share legitimate stuff.
Why do people bother with ssl accelerators ? It's somewhere else, so you're always talking to it via a stream. Doing a round of AES ECB isn't so expensive as to weigh up to all that network traffic, right ? Better to equip your hardware with crypto-coprocessors, crypto-PCI hardware, or run it all on VIA C-7's. They have on-board crypto, accessible via special instructions.
On a windows machine with - what do they call it - those double keystrokes enabled; 'e becomes e-acute. Couldn't turn it off either. Found out that there are lots of silly tokens in my preferred languages that way.
I host a website, and run some mail, off my end of the DSL cable, yet I'm not an ISP - I do not route traffic, really, nor do I have any customers. Does this law apply to me too ? Or do I just have to assume that my ISP duly filters my traffic ?
So that another man with envy green is, because his wife with his neighbour often seen is, his little friend ugly and mean is, and probably not very clean is.
Change your laws to reflect this; if you work before claiming benefits, consider your taxes input for an insurance, if you strike it rich after you've claimed benefits, then it's time to compensate. In other words: you should have stopped her at the border and made her pay a small contribution.
God, I just spent the weekend on-and-off trying to set up joomla using their supposed 'famous five minute setup'. In the end I resorted to editing the configuration.php file by hand and finally succumbing to having it live under the webroot (where I didn't want it to live, but hey - it's php, the last and only thing you'll ever want !). Lots of headaches that are mainly related to php, but mysql was no walk in the park either; is it me, or why is a 'user@%' different from a 'user@localhost' ? That took me a good hour of life that I'll never get back.
As much as I like postgres, and use it everywhere; as much as I think mysql is the result of years of a its-not-our-fault, why-dont-you-code-it-in-the-client finger-pointing mentality, this is off-topic. Sorry.
I have a similar story: took a pocketsize hardcover French impressionist/expressionist book with me once on a lone evening out. Well, actually, I took it because I wanted to just leaf through it while having a beer. No actually, the reason was even more casual: I had it in my jacket pocket from the day and decided when sitting down, that I was going to have another stroll. But it turned out to be dead impressive that I was doing that; got approached by and talked about it with a good looking girl till we was both blue in the face. Could have gotten away with anything after that. But didn't, of course: remained a gentleman. Never saw her there again.
I know the IETF guys aren't very big on NAT, but it does have one (albeit collateral) advantage - security. I'm not saying that people should run services from behind NAT, nor that they should be connected to by Skype through NAT (or ftp, whose problem is more original and older); but there are solutions for this: services can still run on borders - there aren't going to be 4 billion service machines for quite a while yet, while the other problems (inbound connectivity to end-user machines) can be solved by polling or proxies. The security is a good thing, and so is deep-packet inspection on a point that you trust.
As a person who's involved in an implementation of IPv6, let me say that it's difficult to see it implemented without ubiquitous gigabit networks all around, as well as network equipment (routers) that run on the kind of CPUs we don't nowadays expect such hardware to run on. On the one hand, they've made stuff easier (no more checksums on IP level, addresses that tell you something about themselves); on the other they've made it more difficult (potentially quite a lot of headers before you get to ICMP for example, as well as up to seven addresses that any device must listen to, address sizes that don't fit a natural integer), but the network is also busier: network meta-messages fly around all the time - much more so than with IPv4, its ICMP, IGMP and ARP (ARP times out in 20 minutes; link-layer address mapping in IPv6 expires in less than a minute), and don't forget multicast: it's obligatory and used a lot on IPv6, meaning that routers will be so much more busy synchronizing.
Then again; the time that hardware and linespeed catches up, *will* come. It's just not now, and nobody is in a hurry either. But running IPv6 over lines that do 1 Mbps in practice, however doable; it wouldn't make anyone happy.
In order to measure electrons, you need a machine. That machine must be built, configured, put in place all by humans. Who may or may not have free will. Since electrons exist at quantum level, their measurement will be influenced by the measuring machine, whose only reason of being there, is the possible free will of humans.

I see you have too many tabs open.
Grouping tabs wouldn't work. All those hundreds of tabs would still end up in the same group: porn. And I'd be just as lost.

You mean they forgot to the article ?

It replicates through slony (through triggers), and it can be replicated using any custom app that reads the WAL-format.

'to critique' is not a verb. 'to criticize' is.
Do what mainframes did instead: focus on bigger pipes (bus, IO).

I would expand memory for it, until I was sure that I could safely kill it, and then I'd pull its plug.
