Touch screen would be pretty useless in an ipod if you think about it.
For most of their life they live in pockets, along with your keys and change... a touch screen would keep changing tracks when you walked around. Not good.
I've moved from AVG to Avast, but you must do some config changes when you install it otherwise it buries your machine by virus scanning every file that ever gets accessed. It's relatively easy to set it to only scan executables & modified files though.
Tried NOD32 and it broke the IP stack, so I uninstaled it. Norton, well.. nuff said... Never tried trend though.
Especially since the US government has no rights at all beyond its borders. If a US government server attempts to hack my email account in the UK I will not only firewall it I'll be reporting them under the computer misuse act.
Then it'll get firewalled just like the engines that spammers use.
I have a script that automatically notifies me if a certain page is accessed - this page is in robots.txt, and very hard (damn near impossible infact) to click on accidentally.
Robots that access that page get firewalled. I don't give a shit if it's the US government (or a spammer claiming to be the US government)... if they don't obey my 'keep out' signs they lose their right to see my website.
It took you 3 minutes to find an option buried 6 levels deep in a non-obvious place (especially when two of the options were 'Advanced')? Wow you must look fast.
It's because whenever we see the moon, the same side is facing us (during the day when the other side is presumably facing us it's essentially invisible).
It doesn't help that schools teach that one side of the moon is permanently dark... I was taught this, and my textbooks contained the same information.
Nobody else could setup an alternate root... there's just no way you could be listed on it and have significant numbers able to route to you. Google could - easily. Something like that would have mindshare *really* fast - especially if the domains were cheap and they had methods of stopping squatters & other pondlife.
There are lots of patents granted in the UK (and in the EU as a whole) that are completely unenforcable. Even software patents... they're not valid, but companies like to have the whole 'patent pending' thing on their literature...
Redhat want to sign their kernel as 'official' redhat releases, so the'll boot on a DRM crippled BIOS. I don't see why they should have to release their private key to anyone who wants to compile their own kernel.. their issue is with the BIOS manufacturer (and DRM in general) not with Redhat.
How about having to ask hundreds perhaps thousands authors of bits of code that's under v2 only, probably only being able to contact a fraction of them, and being faced with the prospect of having to cleanroom his own kernel to change to license that he doesn't agree with anyway?
VOD doesn't need a channel per subscriber, just enough so that the subscriber doesn't know the difference... if you start a movie on 3 minute boundaries that 30 rolling channels for a 90 minute movie, covering your entire network 'on demand' for that movie. You can optimise it of course so the channels are only active when demanded... still a shitload of bandwidth but not as much as a per-subscriber setup.
The UK has yellow lines too (for no parking zones). We also have huge stretches of road with no lines at all - once you get out of the cities nobody bothers.
On a dual carriageway you are required to stay in the left hand land unless you need to overtake or the path ahead of you is hard to pass (slow sunday driver for example)
That's also true on motorways, but it's widely flouted (the nasty habit of calling the lanes 'slow lane' and 'fast lane' doesn't help here).
The #1 problem with drunk driving is being able to react to hazards in a timely manner.
Staying in lane is easy. Realizing that the truck in the junction ahead hasn't made eye contact and is about to pull out in front of you is harder.. and you can't automate that.
Stating publicly that you would break the law just to piss off your clients comes under proffesional misconduct at least.
Employee rights need to be protected (employees depend on their salary so just being fired at a moments notice is not really fair) but something like the behavior in the article wouldn't get much sympathy no matter what the laws.
Yes, when you're just starting out. Same with all jobs.
Once you've got some experience under your belt you can get high enough in the company to have some influence.. even start your own company if you like. Office juniors don't get a say.

$149? For the educational edition maybe... you have to be a teacher or student to get that.
Amazon are selling the proper version of office for £311.97 ($499).

They'll be known pretty fast.
If it *doesn't* obey robots.txt then it'll find itself in my firewall scripts pretty damned fast along with the other rogue search engines.
No it's not bundled with IE - it probably installed itself when you were browsing.

It could be just a TLD.

Hell, anything that breaks the verisign/icann duopoly is fine by me.
How can google be worse?
Mi ne estos aeti i tiu rekordo, estas gratita.

The problem with pissing off muslims is they tend not to wait until you die a natural death to get there...
Yeah damn that Saddam Hussean shutting down the Iraq State Circus.

Firstly, Dell can do what they damned well like with their own hardware, where you or I agree with that or not.
Secondly.. what's the alternative? Go to GPLv3 and *guarantee* that Linux will *never* run on Dell hardware in the future. Nice own goal.
..which is bad enough.

I think that's plenty reason why not.

Was that just after he asked you if you had a fag?
