The problem is that when it comes to promises of security, fraud is very common and never punished. How exactly do you determine what logs the proxy keeps? By asking them? As you see what is promised and what is actually delivered is usually not the same. For another example look at Dropbox - for a while they claimed that only user has encryption keys and it is impossible for their staff to decrypt anything. Then they changed story to 'staff is not allowed to decrypt'. Hell, even if you find a proxy in bumfuckistan which has no data retention laws, it may be a honeypot.
They are based in UK, so they so not retaining logs is illegal. If you want proxy without logs find one based in country without data retention laws. Hint: it is nowhere in EU.
So he made some 'bubbles' that don't dissolve and can mimic some simplest properties of a cell like porous membrane. Without self-replication it is not cell or anything resembling life and without some way to change and pass those changes onto next generation there can be no evolution.
In related news: I took a cardboard box and painted 'screen' and 'keyboard' on it. It totally proves that laptop can be made from cardboard. Of course it does not work, but this is just a little detail that can be worked out later.
Sure it did. I tried booting Windows 7 32bit installation on different machine after laptop died. Both were Fujitsu-Siemens laptops with Intel cpus bought about 2 years apart, but Windows did not boot even in safe mode. Installation CD has some 'boot repair' mode, but it did not manage to do anything useful.

For getting the shit done, the best interface is still toilet.
In fact I expect more interesting development in terms of productivity to come out of IT in near future, as people who work in this industry finally understand that they need to do something if they actually want to have any lives left to live at all instead of spending and average of 10 hours at work 6 days a week.
They are going to be pretty disappointed when the only effect of rising efficiency is firing half of IT department and forcing the rest to keep current 60h schedule.
Let's see:
1) Speed - open dolphin window, start resizing. Watch the contents trying to keep up and failing, each part of window moving at different speed
2) In dolphin go to home directory. Wait 15s until *anything* shows up then 5s more until dolphin is actually usable
3) Memory usage: in kde3 kmail took about 50-80MB ram. In kde4 it is several hundred MB for kmail itself, next several hundred for mysql, akonadi server and pop3 resource. After that I switched to Thunderbird.
4) Even more memory usage: run kmail with nepomuk enabled. Now you have 2 full database servers running (mysql and virtuoso). OMG.
5) Others mentioned it already: zip/tar.gz integration. In KDE3 it rocked, now you have to use crappy Ark.
6) Try using KDE4 application remotely. Works much slower than stuff from KDE3.
KDE4 was supposed to be revolutionary for user. It introduced several "pillars" that were supposed to make it years ahead of competition. Too bad almost all of them failed miserably.
1) Nepomuk - so much promise, so little delivered. Semantic engine, associations, new ways to combine data from different sources - damn, this actually had potential to be a revolution. And what users actually got from all this? Full text search, tagging and rating - none of them really integrated with UI. And in return we sacrifice performance and memory usage.
2) Akonadi - another middleware/unification effort. Was supposed to rewrite everything PIM-related in clean way, deliver high performance, add compatibility with non-KDE world. And what we got? Memory usage of KMail+Akonadi now goes to gigabyte or more if use are unlucky. Performance is way worse and getting GNOME guys on board was never anything more than pipe dream (come one, gnome devs using piece of software that came from KDE? Never happened, never will happen).
3) Plasma. Well, Aaron Seigo is good when it comes to marketing buzzwords - paradigm shifts, new way of using UI, yadda, yadda. And what user got is way to put widgets on desktop. Woohoo, I could do the same in KDE3 with superkaramba.
4) Solid - this one actually turned out ok. Stays out of the way, does its job.
To be clear - I still use KDE4 as my main desktop. Gnome was, is and will be crap. KDE3 is long unsupported. However I am moving piece by piece to non-KDE technologies - replaced Konqueror (after years of using it as my main browser) with Firefox, KMail with Thunderbird.
Let's say you are accused of murder and prosecutor gives you option of 10 years plea bargain or trial and maybe death penalty. You are innocent, but also you are black, creepy looking, have previous arrest for assault (you were released next day) and cannot prove where exactly you have been during time of the murder.
Would you reject deal out of hand?
You don't think he actually BOUGHT the picture? If not then his actions definitely did not help with trade.
Actually downloading CP pictures should be rewarded. As everybody heard from MAFIAA reps pirating stuff destroys media industry. So everybody should download CP pictures for free and cause those filthy pornographers billion dollar losses.
You know, there is also non-zero risk that thumbdrive will be coated with Ebola or VX. Handing random USB sticks to IT department? You should be calling hazmat guys!
Try Wowza Media Server. RTMP live stream (or RTSP or MPEG2-TS over IP) goes in, whole bunch of other protocols come out - RTSP, RTMP, Apple's HLS, Adobe's HLS and MS Smooth Streaming. It does VoD too.
Put Flash Media Live Encoder (free) and Wowza together and you can stream to any existing device.
How exactly using open source helps? If you have to trust your foreign partner that they use *only* OS (and don't have even single computer with copy of XP somewhere), then you can as well trust them that all their copies of Windows/Office/whatever are licensed.
Sure they can. Also if Microsoft engineer works on computer which contains a chip produced by Chinese company employing janitor wearing pirated Nike t-shirt.
Why restrict chain of responsibility to one or two links?

Kill it, bury it, salt the earth.

It would be a lot more useful if you could select it from boot menu instead.

Blow up company's HQ, then track down and shoot any lawyer still alive.

Plea bargains is pretty often used when prosecutor does not think case can be won, so he will use threats to get smaller win by default.
So the "little princess" is on registry as well? If you were the same age, then it was mutual statutory rape after all.

Top 10? I doubt he breaks top 10000.
It is actually much more similar to MS Smooth Streaming than to Apple's HLS.
Try Wowza Media Server. RTMP live stream (or RTSP or MPEG2-TS over IP) goes in, whole bunch of other protocols come out - RTSP, RTMP, Apple's HLS, Adobe's HLS and MS Smooth Streaming. It does VoD too. Put Flash Media Live Encoder (free) and Wowza together and you can stream to any existing device.
Well, you can try running to Mexico.

Shortcut for confused: everybody sues everybody else. US completes transition from services based to lawsuit based industry.
Oh just seal your damn borders and be done with it.
