As a member of the unwashed masses, i would like to think that some of us eventually goon to become developers and generally help out when we can. Personally i've not done much other than help even newer users out with even simpler problems than my own, but a group of 16000 largely teenage geeks, will likely produce at least one developer, probably a few competent bug reporters and dozens people who will spend time on forums/irc to help out new users. So Canonical and the ubuntu community tend to think that more users = better, if you disagree your welcome to use fedora (or another distro that has a similar philosophy).
tfl website,is the best way to plan an A to B journey. Night buses (signified by an N infront of the name) run 0100-0500 and don't always run the same route as the day version Many bus stops have maps in them that make finding the bus you want easy An oyster card with a week pass, is going to cost a bit upfront but will save money if you use the tube 3/4 times a day
Option 1: Refuse then, get blocked meaning you make no money and china gets no uncensored news Option A:Comply keep making money and china gets no uncensored news.
News corporation isn't just fox, I also won't be missing: The Sun (there are plenty of better places to see tits on the internet) The News of the World (see above) thelondonpaper (free celebrity stalker that pretends to contain news) The Times (london), actually has some content but now other equally good/better sources will replace it in rankings and while WSJ is reputable, don't they already use a paywall?
When stuff gets fubard in the cloud there it is not the user that fixes/fails to fix the problem. Given how bad most people are with computers the failure rate of google or even sidekick is a huge improvement.
If i read the article correctly he is Van ecking the keyboard, so randomizing the button->candidate mapping should be enough. However for Van ecking you build a Faraday cage around the device (a pita that may not be possible for voting booths you need to get in/out of), or use active electronic countermeasures, this is not 100% safe, as your basically engaging in a race of creating random noise, vs filtering it, but that is a race that the jammers can generally win so 99.999%, in addition as the detectors will have to use antennas of a certain length, it may be possible to use scanners to detect listening devices (that is a race you probably can't win, but it may be enough to scare people away from trying to do this for real.
Bottom line: I seriously doubt this thing just smelled a bit like cigarettes. It was probably revolting, yellowed, and filled with ash.
but why attack smokers? If i go to the beach and fill my PC with sand and it gets all crappy and mouldy inside, surely i should be punished just as much as a smoker?
In an official judgement issued on 21 July 2008 the British media regulator Ofcom declared that the final part of the film dealing with the politics of climate change had broken rules on "due impartiality on matters of major political and industrial controversy and major matters relating to current public policy". Ofcom also backed complaints by Sir David King, stating that his views were misrepresented, and Carl Wunsch, on the points that he had been misled as to its intent, and that the impression had been given that he agreed with the programme's position on climate change. Ofcom further ruled that the IPCC had not been given an adequate chance to respond to adverse claims that its work was politicised and that it had made misleading claims about malaria. However, the regulator said that because "the link between human activity and global warming... became settled before March 2007", in parts 1-4 the audience was not "materially misled so as to cause harm or offence".[67] According to Ofcom the program caused no harm because "the discussion about the causes of global warming was to a very great extent settled by the date of broadcast, meaning that climate change was no longer a matter of political controversy[68].
In fact there is a documentary debunking the debunking:
Isn't rainfall connected to temperature? The hotter it is at sea level, the more evaporation, the more rain (it can only stay up there so long). While there may be discrepancies locally (i.e the rain doesn't fall exactly where it evaporated), if you take a large enough system they are insignificant.
. IF THEY COULD MAKE MORE EFFICIENT TVS FOR THE SAME PRICE THEY WOULD. They can't, so the TVs will be more expensive. This is more or less a hidden tax on CA consumers, or worse - a hidden tax on all of us, should manufacturers decide to redistribute costs amongst all of their products.
Why do people still believe that the price most goods are sold at is in any way affected by the cost of the manufacturing? tTere are markets where it is true, but in most it is not. Say it costs TV manufacturers an extra $100 to make high end TVs more energy efficient, but 11% less people are willing to pay for it, well if the TV is more than $1000 it's not worth it and the $100 will just eat into profit margins, if it was less than $1000 they would have been charging the extra $100 already. There are markets where a cost increase will be parsed onto the customers but high-end TVs is not one of them, it's an entirely demand driven market!
I mean if you put two big towers in the sky and then your government's foreign policy pisses a lot of people off and somebody flies a plane into those building well it's your own damn fault for electing a government that pisses people off.
I've always tried to keep a check on my addons for exactly this reason, the more code your running the more chance there is an exploitable bug in there somewhere. While steps can be taken to prevent an exploited addon doing damage, i don't think much can be done to prevent a buggy addon doing exactly what it sets out to do but wrongly.
The good news is that because all the functionality comes from addons they can be disabled and only affect users that want these features, so bob wanting to use his browser as an rssreader doesn't affect me.
Isn't the point that they have been seen now, if those holes where in closed binary addons (like coolaris preview) then they would never have been seen.
If it was a case of you had to go round planning/executing a terrorist attack i suspect many game companies would not ship in the US for fear of a backlash/boycott (others OTOH would ride the controversy to push their other games, just depends how big your balls are, it turns out activision has little mincey faggot balls)
ACID3 tests a pretty small random subset and boils it down to a single number, that's exactly what a benchmark is. If you want to test standards compliance in a meaningful way then do it by looking at the actual compliance to various standards*, don't just parrot the acid3 number and pretend it's anything more than a benchmarks. ACID is a good benchmark, but that is all it is, the fact people treat it like a target is the problem!
*Even that isn't entirely fair because some functions are worth more, a fail on CSS3 is worth less than a fail on CSS2

For services running on linux, openVZ can be used as a jail with migration capabilities instead of a full on VM,

IMO the key selling points for chrome are:
1) Zero user maintenance
2) Security (the thing is even resistant against user-space malware), even Linux distros are years away from sand-boxing desktop apps
3) Simple UI
If your hard drive only sends data when it has authenticated the motherboard how do you plan on reading the hard drive to copy it in the first place?

Wait so if something was his fault, we still shouldn't blame him!? w00t no accountability, i guess the recession is Obama's fault too?

I think the point is it will suck less!
IE9, it's still IE but it sucks less!
Why do people realise how stupid benchmarks are, yet parrot on about ACID all day?
