Whilst most of my bookmarks were there, Xmarks seems to be dropping the "keyword" field from bookmarks. I've resorted to using Firefox Sync now, because life's too short to keep trying to fix Xmarks stuff-ups.
When I had a blackberry smartphone, all the data was routed through Canada. If I visited the Steam Store, I could find a game at a certain price, add it to my basket at which point I was promoted to log in, and the price would magically change (typically going up for an Australian-registered Paypal/Credit Card).
So now your 20 character "just on the way home" text message blows out to a couple of thousand bytes, and your telco provider has to send your SMS as 10 SMS now, and charges your accordingly.
Steam games are consistently higher priced - and you can't get round it with VPNs or Paypal - the credit card # proves you're in Australia.
And it's not like it's priced in Aussie dollars with a mediocre exchange rate - The games are priced on the same store.steampowered.com website in USD dollars.
So why more expensive now? Ah - because steam games would undercut the price of boxed games in stores.
>> Hawking was the only one to stay the course...and yes, he did get a laptop.
Oh really? Given that he was born in 1942, and would have left high-school at 16, or 18 (assuming he went to a Grammar school), he would have left school in 1960.
Now I know laptops have been around for a while, and unless you're a theoretical physicist who understands time, time travel, and.... Hang on!!!
Yeah - same problem - of about nine or ten systems that I've tried it on (up to snv_133), all of them have at least one hardware problem.
eg from my memory
NIC drivers (Broadcom, Even Intel) W/LAN drivers (Atheros for instance) Display driver support (not just VESA!) HW RAID drivers (Compaq, Promise) AHCI drivers (including NCQ and hot plug support (slated to fix in snv 135) AMD PhenomII support (fixed now since snv 126)
and I've had issues with the install (eg installation from USB CDROM)
However, saying all this, the journey is worthwhile - some features really are fantastic - especially together:
For a good read, I can recommend "The Hut Six Story : Breaking the Enigma Codes by Gordon Welchman".
Some of the reasons why Enigma Failed:
1) Choosing "sillies" for encryption keys (eg QWE, QAZ (or whatever the equivalent is on the German AZERTY keyboard). 2) Re-using keys 3) Using Cribs (eg putting some of the preamble of the message into the encrypted part) 4) Sending the same message day after day (eg "Nothing to Report"). This would compromise the key for all stations using that key: 5) Using the same key for lots of destination stations 6) Fundamental design limitation (A Letter will never encrypt to itself). 7) Enigma operator laziness (eg using the same order of wheels as the previous day). (There are 5*4*3 = 60 combinations possible). 8) More laziness - using the default Ring setting on each ring. 9) "Indicator setting" repeated - in 1 in 8 cases this would lead to a repeated encrypted key - which would give the cryptanalyst an idea of which wheels could have been used. (Fundamentally this is a kind of key distribution problem - how to get the session key established). 10) Basing a military encryption system on a commercial product.
Sixty years on, we're still making some of the same mistakes!
I'm wondering - Microsoft is now embedding its vitualisation technology into the desktop (they've already done it for Windows Server of course). Is this the next salvo in the Microsoft vs. EveryOneElse? I'm thinking what happened in the Browser wars. NCSA/Mosaic initially was a superior browser to IE. Now is the same thing going to start happening to VMware/VirtualBox/ParallelsDesktop? It's hard to compete with Free (VirtualBox is free of course for personal users).
I'm also wondering if this is a sort of admission that Windows7 won't offer a fully compatible API for legacy applications to carry on working?

noip is just a text substitution of an IP address, and nothing to do with the actual traffic.
It's a meaningless quotation.
You might just as well say that 100% of abuse happens over IP.

Run all your Windows App in a VM, and when you upgrade the physical hardware, migrate the VM (keep the same VM UUID, etc).

Juvenile hackers with an overdeveloped sense of self-importance, holding people to ransom with the equivalence of IT terrorism.
I still wonder why Windows has both Notepad and Write.
Some dodgy retailers in Australia have been re-shrink-wrapping used hard disks and selling them as new again.
Typically this seems to be with resellers that offer a 7-day money back no-quibble guarantee.

only appears to be random if you have javascript working (thanks noscript!) - Otherwise IE8 appears first on the list, on the left.

Other than being a domain typo, www.ninmsn.com just redirects to a web index.
Are we going to include all domain squatting / domain misspellings / misregistrations now as well?
What about google cache of a banned URL?
It seems clear that the URL filter won't be capable of doing RegEx expansion.
