The EU human rights act has a number of fundamental rights built into it. Of course being the EU it isn't anywhere near as succinct as the earlier documents such as the US constitution.
Life, Liberty and the pursit of Happiness would be written as,
"Article 2, Article 6, and the pursuit of Article 9" (there's no reference to happiness in the HRA, but "Right to marry and right to found a family" is close enough).
Certainly the Windows 7 RC is slower than the Windows 7 Beta - but I'm hoping the speed comes back for the release.
Both leave Vista in the dust, and then some.. that's why people are giving Win7 a free pass. I think one of the things that helps it is it's a bit like Win2008 in that most things aren't enabled at startup.. so it approaches the Win2008 workstation performance (although doesn't quite reach it).
Speaking as someone who used Vista from the RC days right until months after the release because it was part of my job to do so. Vista is crap. It would just fall apart over time - eg. not letting you see whether the network cable was plugged in because you didn't have permission (WTF?). Directory copies/moves were downright dangeruous as it could and did lose data.. it had a habit of abandoning the operation silently halfway through and ditching the file it was currently working on. Network access was 100mb speeds on a gigabit LAN... several parts of the Win32 API were just plain broke and required special workarounds...
And I haven't even started on the usability issues. Some of it was fixed in SP1 but I didn't try it for long enough to find out what... I haven't even considered running Vista since and never will.
Not true.. it increases as well. I've seen the 'exaustion counter' go as high as 1000 days (around January IIRC).
The number of days until ipv4 runs out remains fairly constant, at around 2 years - which seems to suggest that the number returned to the pool is balancing the number of newly allocated addresses.
Who pays for ipv4 addresses? They're handed out free FFS.
There are some ISPs who see it as a cash cow (some of the more unscrupulous ones even try to charge you *monthly* for them) - but it's got nothing to do with scarcity.
What do you mean 'originally'. That's exactly what they did do.
The only change recently has been to deprecate site local addressing. They've also improved the RA specs to include sending other data like DNS (which it should have done from the start.. someone wasn't thinking straight when they missed that one).
Just ask any ISP what they think about their customers running direct IPs.
I did.. and they said 'how many do you want?'. I got 16 but could have as many as I can justify.. and that's not even a business account.
I don't get where you're coming from. You're running a firewall right? Or are you trying to run a company behind some cheap ass linksys and think that NAT is giving you security.
Nobody uses/48, they use/64. RA doesn't work unless the prefix is/64, so ISPs and everyone else will end up using that. Also nobody manually sets ipv6 addresses.. one of the major features of ipv6 is that you don't do that.
Not always.. many years ago they didn't (not sure if akamai even existed then). There were a dozen or so download servers on microsoft.com. If one was dead you switched to another.
It was a failed experiment - this was explained in Enterprise episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence".. the cure for The Levodian flu made its unfortunate victim look exactly like a TOS klingon.
The reason Worf says they don't speak of it is it was extremely embarrasing for them.
(Yes I realize it's just a lame excuse for them looking different in the later series, but if you're going to quote canon...)
What's wrong with ID software's site? Or for that matter, Amazon, or your local shops (all of which are cheaper than Steam.. Amazon is 1/5th of the price).
That's what gets taught in schools unfortunately.. especially the 'decided to evolve' bit, like a dinosaur woke up one day and thought it would grow some feathers for a change. Many people retain this view through adulthood.
Ever heard the whole silly 'a cow fell into the sea and became a whale' idea? Straight out of school textbooks.. I can remember being taught it myself.
The problem education makes is it dumbs things down for children then ignores the issue when they grow up - then some nutjob comes along, points out how silly the version they understand is therefore 'evolution' must be wrong, and we get the whole debate starting again. Maybe teaching 8 year olds about random genetic mutation might be a bit much, but by the time they are 15 they should be able to handle it.
Gmail has an advantage - they have a *lot* of spam to use as a measure of what is spam and not. I've never made any secret of my email address and google manage to get the spam level down to 2-3 a day, which is pretty impressive. The spam folder.. well that's not my problem..:)
There's no such agreement - just a bunch of veiled threats. Such legislation would have a hell of a job getting passed, and would probably end up a being good thing because it would force the IWF under public scrutiny rather than what it is at the moment - a completely unnaccountable and unelectedd secretive body who've decided they have the right to monitor and block internet access to the whole country.
Luckily there are plenty of ISPs who have to balls to stand up to such stuff. The sooner people take their business elsewhere the better.
Not only that but they operate the filters - the ISPs are expected to forward the HTTP requests to the IWF for validation (some like BT may have their own systems, but the IWF definately won't allow smaller ISPs near them in case they leak the actual list, which is some kind of unofficial state secret). Note that they only cover port 80 so all you have to do to avoid the block is to move your site to port 81:p

It wouldn't do anything unless he typed 'firefox\ foo.html'.
Even then it probably wouldn't do anything, because on sane systems the current directory is not on the default path.

Wasn't 2005SP1 the one they tried to release as a 600mb MSI?
That would be the one that took 4.5 hours on a fast machine..
Still, it pointed out some serious bugs in MSI that I hope they've fixed in Win7 (or replaced with a new technlogy).
Certainly the Windows 7 RC is slower than the Windows 7 Beta - but I'm hoping the speed comes back for the release.

So we need something everyone will relate to across the globe.
Spam Flu?
Sex Flu?
Starbucks Flu?
WEP? lol.

It's also about 3 years old and hasn't been updated in a long long time... and doesn't contain any porn.
I think it was someones idea of a joke that got out of hand.
Just ask any ISP what they think about their customers running direct IPs.

Good luck downloading anything from MSDN on a Mac...
Lots of people. Millions, probably. This happens whenever there's a windows beta/rc.
Not always.. many years ago they didn't (not sure if akamai even existed then). There were a dozen or so download servers on microsoft.com. If one was dead you switched to another.
Microsoft themselves publish the SHA1 on MSDN.. just run sha1sum on what you have.

That didn't take them long... A bit sick, even if funny.

Nope, they're spammers. Call them what they are. Don't make excuses for them.
You signed up for *one* list. The scumbag list owner sold his email list to a spam service now you get hundreds of them.
Don't opt out - spammers lie. Report them to their ISPs, to Spamcop, etc. Only way to stop them.
So you're doing the government's work for them?
