Yes the biggest group of players will be children but that hasn't hurt Runescape. It's possibly the largest MMO game and it's developer, Jagex, seems to be doing quite fine with it's free and pay options.
That story is just about right for the Sun. Everyone can find Faslane but more importantly, there isn't enough detail to find a way to sneak onto the base, avoiding security and better information can probably be bought from the black market which terrorists will know about.

No I did not say digital music was worse than analogue. I'm saying digital, as it not physical, music is worse than a CD in terms of quality...unless of course you pirate your music.

I more or less agree with the summary up until it claimed Facebook killed TV. Of all the reasons I don't watch TV, face book isn't on that list and I suspect that's the case for most.
I would agree with the idea that piracy did a lot more to kill TV but it's also people's lack of care about quality. I think both digital audio and video has been a bit of a step backwards in quality (for the most part) and that's a shame.
I'm sure companies like that because they can offer the same music in a better bit-rate later and people will buy the music again and not realise the quality may still be inferior to the CD they could have bought instead and they could have created their own DRM free mp3s. The same goes for video.
I don't see what the big deal is. You can download your document and have it online so there is no way you can be without it.
This little bug is nothing compared to all the crap we've had to go through with MS Office security issues.
Of course using google docs requires common sense. Like don't keep a documented list of your credit card details on it but it's not wise to do that on your desktop either.
I suspect the Windows folks would say the UAC is just guard railings not actual security.
The proper term is now guide rail because a guard rail doesn't actually guard against anything and as usual, someone probably sued someone over the technicality after having an accident.
I agree 100%. I guess I'm in the minority but I love Vista UAC. Fairly often I will carelessly click something, and UAC gives me a second chance to abort before it's too late. UAC is only useful 1 time in 20, but I thank my lucky stars that 1 time.
Your comment reminds me of that a shirt sold by T-shirt hell which said on it "What about the good things Hitler did?".
While a lot of personal sites clearly don't put any effort into design, professional sites do and you won't do that in Drupal.
I've used DreamWaver from version 4 when they two versions up to CS3. Admittedly I've used each version less than the previous. I only used CS3 a few times because it's on my work PC. The biggest downside for me is that Dreamweaver doesn't run on Linux without using Wine and I rather not deal with DW under Wine. Plus DW does still feel a bit more designer oriented and I'm doing more serious development.
I personally have some issues with DreamWeaver. It's very good but for the cost it's not worth it compared to the competition for proper development. However I think web designers, mac users and other "trendy" people still love it.
Why would they need the installation disk? No disk was required to install IE7 on XP. You won't need a disk for IE9. So there is no reason a disk should be required for IE8.
It's a free program and they already do checks to see if you have a valid installation so why leave it on the system when it can be downloaded? In fact this would be better.
When someone wants to re-enabled IE again they're taken off to the IE site where they have to download the installer and get the latest version rather than some outdated version that's been sitting hidden away on their system.
I've sent a polite email stating what was wrong with the site. Hopefully it'll be looked at.
The home link is broke among many other serious problems.
It would appear the messages about firefox being more insecure have been modified though so I guess they're either reading people's emails or they've seen this.
Except for the fact he probably gets free CDs of his own music so he'd never have to pay for his music legally. The same goes for games. Do you think developers pay for their own creations?
Nintendo has (or at least had at some point) a game library of all the their titles so even the lowliest of employees could play Nintendo games without every having paid for them.
Most everyone else downloading music/software aren't in their position so yes it does make a difference when they download it. The only stupid thing Lars potentially did was help seed the album to others.
My Windows machine isn't capable of opening PDF files because Adobe Reader is bloated shit and I'm certainly not going to reconsider not after these events.
I'd rather see the government push to get the open source software used in schools and government offices as well as a push for these institutions to use open source formats which will help push people into using it and in the end that will be worth much more than a cheque for $200.
Obama did not turn the US into a Socialistic Single party system, numb nuts. The citizens voted all those democrats in because the republicans pander to the mentally retarded rather than following their true conservative roots these days.
Politicians from both sides have shat all over the US for over 100 years and the only people to blame are the simpletons that keep voting in the clowns from both parties.
Lastly crying that Obama is spending money to try to save the economy is laugh after the last 8 years we've had where Bush not only started the socialist movement to save the economy (highly laughable since he's supposed to be a conservative) but he's done more damage to freedoms we're supposed to have all because of 9/11. Usama won and if he's still alive I'm sure he's loving it.
Both Labour and the Conservatives also show video on their sites and, in the case of the conservatives, allow you to embed the videos elsewhere.
I think it would have been better if Obama stuck with YouTube but if they can't then it's unfortunate but not allowing anyone to view the video goes against the idea of the internet, imo, and it's makes it worse for those tax payers who live elsewhere.
I doubt there are that many foreigners watching the US president's weekly address. I doubt there are that many Americans watching it either.
As far as the BBC not showing all of its content, I can't see why Americans can get so upset over it. It's one site and considering how many US sites block outsiders, people within the borders of the US get to see more of the internet than others so there is no reason to whine like babies because one site has gone and done something you're doing as well.
While the BBC may do that the UK government does not. The difference, imo, is that the UK (and US) government get money from their tax payers who live around the world. The BBC does not. Its money only comes from UK tax payers so there is little room to justify letting everyone watch the content. Where as I'm an American and I live overseas. I still file my taxes so yes I have just as much right to watch the video. In fact I also got a stimulus check despite the fact there was little to no chance I'd spend it on the US economy. But I am still an American and tax payer so I get the same rights.

The simply don't keep it online and download it.
MS will copy Google and do the same thing. Then you'll get the best of both worlds; sharing concerns and security flaws.

Yes, both think more of themselves than the should, the love sequels and remakes and hate innovation and thought in their stories.

They include an MP4 and text so you don't even need a video player to know what was said.
