It's not the best filter anyways... as you are still (currently) allowed to use "bugmenot" without the.com so you can still say "bugmenot website" etc...
swap priorities with obsessions you might be right, but 250GB's is about 60 DVD's a month... so one movie (at DVD quality) a day, still leaves about 125GB's for anything else which should also be plenty.
Nevermind that I don't think they are offering that high of quality, if you say 700MB's a video, thats 350-ish movies, a month
If you are surpassing 250GB's a month and you arent running a business (even most of those), you've got some serious packrat issues, I dont think ive ever passed 100GB's a month...

but, you should see it, its great... 6 Radeon 9800's spinning at 3000 RPM... fantastic!... plus when the power goes out, it turns into an alternator, and powers the PC for a bit...:|
Pfft... not always true, im typing this from a 6 year old Dimension 8300, thats traveled by bus and by airplane at least twice each, has been on nearly 24/7 in those 6 years, and the only problem its had is the CPU fan (Radeon 9800 Pro) ran out of oil/lube which was a 5 minute fix...
Everything that was there originally still is, ive only added, not taken away or replaced anything... and it hasnt had it easy, gaming (even new games which its relatively underpowered for) and a hell of a lot of 3D editing and rendering...
Likewise the monitor (17" CRT, Philips internals) is the same age, same package...not a single problem.
Although Google is "online" they deal with basically only the internet, it sort of makes sense for them to do it all online, when/if they get into Linux that will be something they can't do if they want distributions to include their browser.
It seems to be working in layers, computers were basically one task at a time once, then came the ability to run multiple ones, now web browsers (a single task/process) among others, are doing that as well, effectively turning into a virtual/VM OS... websites, are trying to do that now, most have some sort of "tabbed" layout, just not as effective yet, then the websites become a virtual OS, and each of them can host their own applications, which will become tabbed... its not so different from how Machine Code > ASM > C > C++ > Java > JavaScript... or even Core > Mantle > Crust > Atmosphere... where each layer essentially allows for more freedom, but also becomes more ambiguous and detached.
Well don't rule it out entirely, the deals arent all set yet... I dont see why they couldnt have the normal ad-funded stuff Mon-Sat, and then maybe the (entirely hassle/ads) free stuff on Sunday, or an entire station(s) devoted to the free stuff, I'm sure that whatever archives they have are already fairly well split into one pile or another, the "safe for anything" and the "check the rights" before playing piles, not very hard to go from there.
Hmm, but would you want your taxes/gifts/donations etc going towards royalties to some music company? I would presume that the BBC doesnt have complete control over some, or most of the music they would be distributing.
And on the other side, if they can make more money from this, it means they can A: put their normal funding to better use, or B: not use as much.
However, having it ad-funded, will inevitably make the advertisers have more control over its existance.
And as for PBS, I think they should be allowed to charge for content in certain cases, like VHS/DVD/CD copies of shows as they have already put their income into making the show, not duplication and distribution of discs.
Whoa, are you behind the times... somewhere in late 2007, naming children was no longer kewlies, now its Revision 1.0, 2.0, etc... so, I assume that, both of his previous kids had faulty programing.
Because he said he prefers IE over Firefox/Opera/Safari/his bedroom window...
However, he is right, although I dont find Firefox's text rendering that bad, Chrome's is noticable.
Although I prefer Opera's, it also depends largely on the font, for instance Slashdot, Opera (to me) is eaier on the eyes than Firefox which is easier than Chrome...
But on Wikipedia, Chrome is easier than Firefox (Opera is still prefered)
But that also could just a per-person/amount of usage thing...
There are benifits to using your HOSTS file though... such as it works for any browser, or internet related thing, like Shareware/Adware, browsers within some applications, or software/scripts that might otherwise call the site outside of your web browser, the same as a decent Firewall would do, but without having to run extra apps.
Huh, I've never been a fan of smooth scrolling, I disable it everywhere, OS, per-application, anything that allows me...
But, after reading your post, I fired up Chrome again, and noticed that it doesnt have the mouse-wheel scroll thing (press down on mouse wheel, drag up/down/left/right/45degree[Opera]) which is what I use if I want consistent/continuous scrolling.
Definitely an oversight (currently) its very useful for long pages, or pdfs, etc where you can just "set and forget" and read as it scrolls along.
Agreed, so far I dont see anything that either Opera or Firefox can't do... not to mention that Chrome is twice the size of Opera, and almost 3 times as large as Firefox with less functionality.
Also that it installs into..\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\* annoying.
From which I tried finding the EULA as was too lazy to read it during setup, and it doesnt seem to be there, nor within the application itself, seems to only be at http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html
Although I do find it too cute/clean/simple, currently it seems more directed at mobiles than desktops, or maybe im just more fond of options than some, although I was/am fairly impressed with its speed, currently there are too few options, and annoyances (basically meaning im not used to them) it does have some good though, like the "Element Inspector" is quick and easy, but the seperate process rather than seperate threads, is IMHO crap frankly... 15-20MB's extra memory and 2 threads for each.
120MB's and some 40 threads, and 7 processes to open 7 Google.com's...
45MB's and 35 threads, one process to do the same in Opera (Although Slashdot is open aswell, and its been open for about 2 weeks, might change on a clean run)
35MB's and 15 threads, one process in Firefox...
But this is a Beta, and a rather early one at that, it does have potential for some people.
You gotta fuck it out of the system first, and there is a hell of a lot of people on the planet, plus it could be on the rise in one country/area, or in decline in another.
You also have to factor in things like society, which can promote monogamy one decade, and not the next, and many will listen to that rather than themselves which would eventually promote one or the other, even if only in small strains, unless there was a food/water shortage, etc.
You're absolutely right, stop teaching tech entirely, train them how to work at McDonalds till they are 35, then start teaching them Tech... cause we all know teaching an old dog new tricks is easy.
Infact, don't even teach them a spoken language until they are 19, would save all that back talking....
Yeah, most, probably nearly all wont find a job that suits there skills immediately, but pretty much no one does right out of highschool regardless of what they might have specialized in... but if they dont start in high-school (or earlier) how do you expect them to get into college/university for something they like? "I'd like to be here, seems cool" doesnt get you anywhere if you can't show some sort of competence...
Notice the "enter" and "start"... in your quote, doesnt mean they will get hired being a full-time anything, they have to work their way up just like anyone/other job.
But, I don't think it matters, it doesnt seem as though this is about what buttons, where they are placed, or what it says on them, this is software-based, what happens as a result when a certain button (no matter the name, or orientation) is pressed. It could be 'X' and '9', but if the software interprets that as scroll as like
Not really, its detoured the passive "weekend" criminals, but its made the other ones even more skilled at what they do, survival of the fittest.
And the main reason for not having them outside the "business" is because as a customer, you have a choice to enter the property that a business is located, but you are forced to travel the streets to get from point A to B, and B might not be this paranoid business with cameras.
If my business was to take a firehose to everyone who entered my store, does that mean it gives me the right to hose down anyone who walks within reach of my firehose? After all, a firehose can be used to stop crime, and fires, or water plants... they should be everywhere! You're a terrorist if you refuse to get hosed.
Or, maybe its just 20+ years later and we have stuff like the Internet, and countless mobile phones... if it wasnt for the internet, would you have heard of this? Is it in your local paper? Is it on your local news?
