Average Joe isn't frightened at all, certainly not to this extent. Unfortunately there are morons in the civil service who need to justify their jobs and departments at Whitehall that need to protect their budgets so make cleverly worded proposals to members of the Cabinet who then propose such nonsense in the name of the "war on terror". I'm still trying to work out who we have to fear now the Islamic Fundalmentalist Bin Laden is no longer here and the gobshyte clerics such as Abu Hamsa and his mate Qtada are regarded as a bit of a joke by Average Joe.
Judging on how much time and money Apple are spending trying to block the sale of the Samsung Galaxy S2 it must be one hell of a good phone. One could almost deduce that Apple think its actually better than their iPhone 4S with the amount of attention they're giving it. Might be worth looking at the Galaxy S2......
No they're not. My Netgear DGND3300 allows me to set up two wifi networks with one being a guest. Each has its own SSID, security key and I can choose to allow the guest wifi network access to the primary wifi and wired.
I can set up a guest wifi network on my router that has a separate WEP/WPA key and does not allow access to the other wired/wifi network unless I specifically say it can. Its a Netgear DGND3300v2 if thats any help...
This is just getting stupid beyond the point of belief. Next they'll be trying to patent using a battery to power the phone.
What they don't realise though is that shit like this puts people off. Certainly my 3 year old MBP is about ready for replacement whilst it still has some resale value and I am seriously considering whether to give my money to these asshats. Plenty of corporate grade laptops with the same quality for the same money and I'm as happy running Linux as I am OS X.
Are sales of TV an accurate guide anymore? If someone has a computer, they can get a tuner for it assuming it doesn't have one already so does that make sales of TV a good indicator? And then there are those in the age range who will have had a TV when they lived at home with their parents and take it with them when they move out.
Once you've basically turned the computers into dumb terminals managed remotely and the only thing required is a connection to the net, you no longer need a network administrator.
How dare you throw in the performance of the bottlenecking bit of hardware into this? Thats just unfair. Next you'll be blaming hard drives for level loading times.
They can't even release them at 6 months without serious show stopping bugs listed in bugtraq with the words "WE CANNOT RELEASE IT LIKE THIS" and things broken that previously worked just fine. Switching to a monthly release will just exacerbate the situation.
Could be time to jump ship and switch to another distro.
Wait until you try to find a review of a laptop or specifications of one. On Google, the first 10 pages of hits will be pretty much exclusively shopping sites.
Public transport is useless, its dirty, unreliable, often unsafe, overcrowded (yes i know the roads can be crowded too, but at least you have somewhere comfortable to sit in a car and can stop to take a break), doesn't run all night and is even more useless outside of large cities.
You've obviously never been to Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan to name a few.
...a multi storey bike park. The Dutch already do reduce car use. I went on holiday to Amsterdam and it is the only place I've ever seen with a multi-storey bicycle park full from top to bottom with bicycles. There are bicycles absolutely everywhere. Traffic in the city center is very light. Here's a picture

Ditto on OSX, no? Running programs are clearly indicated in the doc.
Possible it's changed in 10.7, I haven't upgraded.
It has changed in 10.7. The default now is not to have a white dot underneath to indicate it is running. OTOH, OS X now finally gets the ability to resize a window on all four sides instead of just the right hand corner - you know, like the way every other OS has been doing since the 1990's.
Most of Anon/Lulzsec are whiney kids and would rather be jerking off to pron on the internet than playing bitch in a prison block. Those who aren't deterred are just plain stupid.
That's nice. If you shop somewhere and it is not accepted, email them and ask them to add the option, otherwise they aren't getting your business.
And if you asked me that, I'd tell you politely to pay either by the accepted methods or go fuck off and annoy someone else. I am not going to go through the hassle of setting up another payment method that most people haven't heard of and have to wait an age to get my money whilst it is being set up just to cater to some whiney little shit trying to be 733t. By all means go use someone who uses that but don't whinge when it costs you more.
Depends on what the spec of your PC is. I am running a 9600GT graphics card. To upgrade it to something that will run todays titles at decent quality and speed, I would have to spend more than the cost of a new Xbox 360 Slim as I need not only the graphics card but a new PSU and a couple of GB of RAM wouldn't go amiss either. And then when I've upgraded it all, I have driver and patch hell on the PC version of pretty much most games. Even my beloved BF2 is once again unplayable as I upgraded the video drivers to fix a bug in one game which meant BF2 reverted back to "Start game, crash to desktop" again - a battle that I've had on and off for the last few years with that game. FUCK THAT SHIT. I want to play it, not be forever fixing it.
While they compete and try to destroy each other, open source consoles like Fuzebox will get a major market share.
BWAHAHAHA. 99% of gamers neither know Linux exists or if they do, don't care. They aren't interested in being able to code their own games on an 8bit console nobody uses or play old 1990s games on an emulator.
Stupidity. That's the only thing to blame here.
Utterly retarded extreme drooling idiocy.
Spoken like a true American. In the UK in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's we suffered a bombing campaing in mainland Britain from the American funded IRA. They planted bombs outside restaurants, pubs, shopping centers and didn't give a shit who they killed. Recently there has been an upsurge in terrorism in Ireland from some of the factions who didn't sign up to the agreement. Not to report this as suspicious would be retarded extreme drooling idiocy.
This is an organization that build napalm-like incendiary bombs and set them off in hotels, restaurants and pubs where civilians gathered in large numbers. I don't see why you think they would hesitate to attack a nuclear power station or other such facility.
I served in the British Army. When we started using warfare tactics such as full sized all out ambushes rather than just patrolling and playing at being targets, all of a sudden this supposed Irish army who had declared war against the UK decided that this wasn't fair when we went to war footing in some areas instead of policing and complained to the European Courts that we were being too heavy handed!! Err, who was it who said they were an army at war with the UK? The IRA attacked soft targets. Nuclear powerstations along with gas storage facilities are well guarded by armed guards.
And the best thing is that with most of Lulzsec being teenage kids, they won't have a fucking clue what to do - whether to fold or fight. I wonder how many of these fags think that mommy and daddy will be able to protect them.

Google is my preferred search engine, but the results are noticeably geek slanted..
Really? I'd say they were very noticeably shopping website slanted.

This digital commodity is called bitcoin. And it works today.
Didn't work the other week when they had to suspend it due to someone hacking the code and generating shitloads as well as stealing others.
they blocked payments to anon.
We are Anonymous. Here is our bank account number, sort code and address. Fucking morons.

It did?
The new piece of malware, which is known as HippoSMS, has been found in unofficial Android app markets in China.
No it didn't dumbass. All it tells you is the name of the malware that has been found in the app, not the name of the app or apps themselves.
