Have you ever tried TRANSCRIBING a Beatles song?
doesn't the govenment publish the blacklist? Incredibly enough, no. Even MORE incredibly, the AU government's position on the filtering plan is something like "even though for this plan to work hundreds of ISPs have to have a copy of the blacklist, and every one of those ISPs will have somewhere between tens and thousands of employees, all of whom hate this plan that depends on the obscurity of the blacklist, we are certain that the list will never get leaked and become public".
I for one am waiting for the first attempted prosecution of a pedophile/terrorist/doubleplusungoodthinker which results in a defense of "I knew exactly where all the good shit was, the Australian government made a list".
Your son is not a prodigy. At "nearly 2" he's about ready for playing "What sound does this animal make?" games. With you though, not with some electronic babysitter.
This question is nonsensical. Come back in 3 years, and we can talk.
Quoted for great justice.
To the OP: take the money you were going to spend on a toy for yourself -- let's be honest, that's what it is -- and spend that amount of monay on big colourful books written for 2-year-old kids. Then read to your child every day for as long as he wants you to.
"Which netbook for my 2-year-old", jesus, stupidest question ever.
If you WANT to see Microsoft acquire them, all you're caring about is the money side of things.
Seeing as how I am neither employed by or a shareholder in either company, I don't give a shit whether MS buys Yahoo or not. They're both big bloated companies that make a bunch of useless shit that I don't care about.
I love reading posts from "IT Professionals" crying that they don't get respect when, as a whole, the "IT Profession" exhibits about as much professionalism and has about the same barriers to entry as, say, the "Hairdressing Profession".
This is no different than if Microsoft were to only allow IE as a browser on their OS. Sound familiar? No, it doesn't sound familiar, because I've never heard of that happening.
In every conversation I have had that involves Ubuntu and its versions, everyone usually just uses the adjective half of the name as a reference to the version. Like, "have you put Hardy on that box?" "nup. Feisty is running fine".
It may raise some questions, but they're not new ones. Creationists will say "look! a designer was required!" while those opposed will say "look! all with simple chemicals and physics, no supernatural powers required!"
The entire internal communications system of the company I work for depends on Gmail, Google Apps, and CRM integrated into the two via Google's API. If Google can offer a browser that offers a FIVE PERCENT improvement in the performance of those apps, we'll swap without a moment's hesitation.
The address is a property of the current page. Placing it above the tabs puts it into the same space as the persistent elements like the file/edit menus.
Only if you're using a shittily-designed operating system. On a Mac, for example, no part of the browser intrudes into the space of the file/edit menus.
Refutations are one of the MOST important parts of science. Proving something incorrect is far more useful than suggesting that something might be correct.
I happen to know this particular Judge. You know how I met him? Playing Quake deathmatches back in the nineties. He was handy with a rocket launcher, was great base defence in CTF matches, and trash-talked like a motherfucker. Anyway, the point I'm trying to work my way around to is that this particular Judge is probably the most net-savvy online officer of the court you could ever meet. This Judge had a personal hand in the design and implementation of the in-court computer networks used in the NZ court system. Hell, this is a Judge who goes to LAN PARTIES. So I'm going to assume that he knows EXACTLY what the real-world implications of his ruling are, and he is trying to balance some conflicting principles that he cannot ignore.
So yeah, comments insinuating that this Judge doesn't know how the Internet works are off-target. This guy has been part of the online scene since before half the script kiddies here were born.

I always assume the drive I'm using has a one-day warranty, and plan accordingly.

As 3D Realms has shown us, the "we'll release it when it's ready" policy correlates well with excellent products.
There, fixed that for you.

Sweet zombie Jesus, have you ever heard Ives speak? He seems almost painfully shy.

Aside from that, there's the personal - forcing aides to talk to him while he was talking a dump, laughing at the dead body of JFK, etc..
A truly odious and terrible president.
LBJ (a Texan) also passed the Civil Rights Act, even though he knew it meant the end of the Democratic Party in the South.

See, that's the point where I stopped caring. This guy is too stupid to own a computer, let alone run a record label.
I've used Exchange, Zimbra, and Google Apps, and it's a no-brainer for me -- Google Apps ftw.
I'll slim it to two, so long as they're a speech bubble coming out of Moore's inanely-grinning mouth.
"SO AWESOME"
I make it a habit to kick dirt on those types every chance I get

The moment Chrome is released for Linux everyone's gonna drop Firefox anyway.

This post deserves to be modded up simply for "plasmapussy"

By definition, the "Greatest" cyber-heist is one that we don't know about, since its greatness inheres in the fact that it's undetectable.
