What gives US the right to seize domains of companies based in other countries and force their laws, views and things like ACTA and banning of internet casinos to citizens of other countries?
It's simple really..net is a TLD owned by the USA. I don't agree with their views, but their methods are somewhat reasonable. If you get a.net domain, you play by USA rules, if you get a.cn domain, you play by China's rules, and if you get a.ru domain, you play by Russia's rules. TVShack didn't play well with the USA, the USA kicked them out, and now TVShack has shacked up with Cocos Island.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if all domain names had less strict rules, but that just isn't how it is.
If a web page uses "nostore" for a value in the HTTP Cache header, then Firefox won't store it for the back button. Unfortunately, PHP sends the nostore value by default when the page runs "session_start()", so lots of pages end up fucked up like you say.
The solution I have found is to run sed on libxul.so. Replace every instance of "nostore" with some random alphabetic garbage of the same length. This causes Firefox to only fuck the page if it finds that exact same random garbage in the cache string, which is very unlikely. So every page gets stored for the back button. The nocache header still behaves as expected, so shopping carts carts and such still work without having to constantly reload pages. There is no value to the "nostore" header, for the reasons that you said, so this works out OK.
Unfortunately, this solution seems to have a side effect that I can't explain. Pages on some sites (such as the Slashdot home page) will load blank every once in a while. When you reload it will load properly. It's still worth it.

To everyone who knows about software patents, they are already exposed as ludicrous. To everybody else, they wouldn't learn anything from a small company being sued. Few people learned anything about patents from Microsoft vs. TomTom, and those are companies that most people have heard of.
It's the same situation down here, too. Police forces and various government offices use polygraphs while hiring. It makes sense, really. They want to make sure that you can lie convincingly. I'm not really sure the purpose of putting sociopaths in power, though.
This is a great idea. But it's being done the wrong way. Rather than sending signals to start and stop cars, the traffic lights should just send signals saying how long the red light is going to be, and while they're at it, specify how long the green lights will be too. Then the smart cars should interpret that how they will, by stopping, starting, or showing a light to the driver. This method will upgrade smoother and be more resistant to jokers with toys at the intersections.
Using PS3s for anything, especially non-gaming research applications seemed like a really bad idea in the first place. A game console is nothing but an overpriced, crippled computer. Sure, the multi-core cell processor might be great for some things, but I doubt that they couldn't have found something better for the same price. Plus there is the issue of control. You can only get so far hacking PS3s. And doing so takes a lot of time that could have been spent elsewhere. There is only one vendor who sells PS3s; if they had gone with general purpose x86 computers, they could still get their parts from other manufacturers.
On the side of the USAF, though, Sony's crippling devices after the fact took a lot of people by surprise. Everybody knew that they gave themselves that ability in the TOS (along with everything else), but few would have predicted that they would actually use it.
Anybody remember Real Media? I hear that they've mostly cleaned up their act, but once upon a time they pulled every trick they could think of. If you started an order on their web site, they would take you to a page with what you want to order, checkmarked, and then a whole bunch of worthless stuff beneath the page fold, also checkmarked. If you didn't uncheck all of the stuff beneath the fold, they would charge you for all of that stuff too. I'm not sure if the full price was even listed before you filled in your credit card info.

Easier said than done. There are so many variables that affect fair use. Is it for commercial purposes or non-profit? Parody or satire? 10% of what? Like you alluded, 10% of a large work is a lot. An entire song, over a hundred pages in a large book. And what about new technologies? The nature of fair use makes it difficult to define.
That's sort of what I was thinking. Giant corporations can take advantage of loopholes to rip off their customers. Individuals and small businesses can't do that.
I read that info file yesterday when I saw this story on another site. I thought the same thing, that it was pretty hypocritical of them. However, now I know better. The only reason they hid the crack is because they didn't want anyone to know that all they did was repackage the crack that has been going around for awhile now. http://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=56074&start=45
Certainly, they made some improvement (no longer need to run a server or mess with hosts file) but they want people to think they did it all by themselves, rather than cooperatively with the crack community.
I was going to come here to post DO NOT WANT! But you beat me to it. So instead, I will post a message saying that I was going to post a message saying DO NOT WANT! Done.
Personalized search is a terrible idea, and can only lead to bad results if it doesn't work, or insulation from variety of it does work. I can't believe anybody would want it.
I assume I am safe with cookies and/or javascript turned off. Without javascript, Google never knows what I clicked on.
The ClamAV package in Debian Lenny-Volatile is 0.95.3. You're using the package from Debian Lenny, which is stable, and doesn't mesh well with ClamAV, which is either the latest and greatest or broken.
Debian Volatile is meant specifically for this kind of thing.
It sounds like this site requires that user be logged in to view articles, and so links to the articles shouldn't hurt them anyway. But they don't think their security is up to snuff, and so links might be able to get around the paywall, and they work around this with unenforceable linking policies.
This sounds like a package management system for Windows, along the same veins of dpkg/apt and rpm/yum. Windows has been lagging in this area for years, and one of the reasons that it is so insecure and slow is because every program either runs in the background at startup, or doesn't get updated on a regular schedule. That wasn't my question, just how I view the situation.
Why limit this to open source? It would be great if the users could update every program easily and painlessly, at least the ones that use this new system.
I am assuming that this system will allow easy and painless upgrading like on most Linux systems. Is that true? Will it have automatic dependency handling and command line installation?
Yes, presumably web apps will receive low scores. However, the list also includes "browsers, mobile platforms, mobile apps", so maybe you will find something in one of those categories that fits you better.
No you can't. QuakeLive requires a "browser plugin" which defeats the whole point of playing in a browser. You don't get any of the advantages, like sandboxing, cross-platform, or no installation required.
This article is about running Quake in a browser, which is pretty dang cool, if not really practical. Also, it's not really about Quake or FPS so much as HTML5.
Urban Terror was a good suggestion. They probably could have gotten permission to distribute it if they asked. I would have suggested OpenQuartz, which is GPL. It's only half a level, but that's plenty for a demo.

That's what noscript is for. With noscript, your browser doesn't even download the .js files.

So, a graphics card manufacturer says that graphics cards are the future? And this is news?
