And for what its worth, putting search in the start bar was a GOOD thing. I rarely ever have to go digging through the start menu hierarchy any more.
The idea there's a search bar there hasn't once gone through my head except after spending several seconds wondering where the hell the "Run..." item went. Admittedly I only use Windows for gaming purposes, but I've had it installed for quite some time (think years). The fact I cannot get used to it means either my brain is off or MS made a bad decision. This being/., you can probably figure out which I think it is.
I started using OpenOffice precisely BECAUSE of Office 2007's interface. I'm all for more choices, but I very much doubt one will be able to pick the UI one prefers (everything else still uses menus, why muse we get rid of them NOW?).
There is only one real difference between public and private management of the economy: The government is, at least mildly,ACCOUNTABLE.
I don't know what government YOU'RE talking about, but surely it cannot be the US government that can simply refuse to comment and reasonably expect every news station to instead report on where Michael Jackson is being buried (breaking news: OR MAYBE HE ISN'T!!!).
I think its quite healthy to dislike ( ok, hate ) an entity whose stated goal is to wipe you from the face of the earth. We arent talking about some bully in a school yard, we are talking about a well funded organized corporation that wants you eradicated..
Work to prevent them causing damage and reverse what damage they do cause, but don't hate them. Hating them clouds your judgment.
Worse, hate validates their actions. It proves that what they're doing is working.
If proof-of-concept code is never released, what's to motivate the vendors to release a patch? If nobody actually exploits a vulnerability, Joe Q. Public isn't going to care that someone could (even if they did, most people don't care...).
Plus, if a white hat gets their hands on the exploit code, they may be able to release a patch well before the vendor can, or at least try to mitigate the possible damage caused (saying 'program x is vulnerable to a buffer overflow!' isn't useful to ANYBODY). Full disclosure has worked so far, why do we need to change it?
This is why the data has to be encrypted in such a way as to prevent the avalanche effect, which defeats the purpose of encryption by forcing you to use a weak algorithm (at least from my understanding).
Really, you may as well use character-replacement for all the good the algorithms that support this technique would do you.
IIRC, DNA matching is done based on 'junk' DNA. Assuming the particular markers used actually don't do anything, I'd be the first to sign up for an injection of a virus that will randomly change those markers around. Let them find me by my DNA when every cell has a different sequence.
And I'll be the one laughing when I'm getting 10-20FPS more than you in every game with the exact same hardware, because I didn't set my CPU voltage to +3V.
If you're not retarded, overclocking is as safe as starting your car.
If you're not an idiot you know what the hardware is spec'd to take, and what other overclockers have gotten it to without any problems (reduced life is a given, of course). I've never had to push voltages past what the manufacturer says that specific piece of hardware can handle to keep it stable.
How many passwords that flow over the intertubes do you think are encrypted? Very few actually are.
Plus, there's all sorts of fun attacks that require you to just be connected to a network to perform (TCP injection being my personal favorite. Instead of google, they get blaster.).
Even if it does say a lot about her integrity, beliefs, etc., it shouldn't be considered within the scope of the election.
Of course it should. That is EXACTLY what should be part of every election, because it shows what the candidates actually believe, and therefore what they will do once in office.
In this case, it shows she believes in rights for those she cares about, but not for anybody else (she wants to ban abortion, even in cases of rape and incest, and yet let her daughter choose, how the fuck does that make sense any other way?).
250GB is apparently the point Comfail figured their customers would start to not be as profitable as they want them to be, so they just stop the service and don't care if you continue paying for it or not, it can only mean more money for them.

I WONDER WHY. It CERTAINLY has NOTHING to do with the fact that their argument amounts to 'full disclosure is bad durr!!'. Nope, nothing at all.

Because that doesn't seem suspicious AT ALL...

I live in the US, what is this "competition" you speak of?
You think the advertisers would make anything close to the amount of money they do if everything were opt-in?
Yours is.
...I could use it as a mobile phone!
You seem to have IP and real, physical property confused. One exists, the other does not. There is no double-edged sword.

Except there's the major hitch of my not being able to directly decide where my tax money goes.
How do I know all that money didn't go to some senator getting a massage with a 'happy ending'?
That settles it, party at this guy's wife/girlfriend!

Replace security guards with UNIX admins, TV with Apache, talking with perl...
Sounds like the kind of place I'd like to live.

If they're using a protocol that similar to HTTP, every single one of them needs to be shot (well... they need to be shot MORE, at least).
