The FAQ should probably be updated then, because it rather clearly states that you can't moderate and participate in the same discussion. It doesn't mention it can be done providing you moderate then post.
That sums it up exactly. Their ability to alter it is written in to the initial contract, which you have to agree to to get service in the first place.
And to all those people that were on existing 12 month contracts? Tough luck, you had the option to either pay your contract out or sit on the service
That's simply not true. Yes, you had the option of staying or leaving, but if you chose to leave, it was at no cost to you, and you had your install fees refunded. It's exactly what I did to get out.
None of which have the calendar, collaboration or integration that Outlook has. Not one of them is suitable for a corporate environment without adding other programs in to make up for the lack...
Yeah, that's what I thought until I was forced to not log in to it for over a week. When I came back it was 100% full, and it was just too much to sort through. I've not bothered logging in again
I work at an online casino, and this is exactly how our games work. When you press the button to spin the wheels, the result of the game is decided then and there. This includes the results of any bonus games. The amount of your win was decided by the spin, and the bonus game itself will show whatever it needs to to show you that total amount.
Our terms and conditions for each slot spell this out however, stating the the results of the bonus games have no effect on the actual win amount. Presumably other online casinos work the same way, and I don't think it's too big an extrapolation to state that most physical slot machines work the same way.
Opera has the capability to lie in it's user agent tag anyway, allowing it to work with MSN. But that's hardly the point. It's an optional version simply designed to highlight the stupidity of MS's exlcusion policy in the first place.
Ah, I see where you are coming from. But I am thinking about a compatibility fault with that line of players rather than that player specifically. But even so, the question is still an interesting one worth asking, presuming it's anything more than a simple fault in one player
You obviously missed the question at the end of the article.
Let me quote it for you
. Did these companies decide to quietly unleash DRM on the public this holiday season? Or is this just a problem with the new player (separate from it not being DRM capable)?
There. See how he asks whether the problem is related to DRM or if it's an issue with his player? You jump down the writers throat for no reason. Posting it in the context of some of the replies to this article would make sense. But straight off the article itself, as if the author is some sort of dweeb is a little rich
Well, the spam certainly seems to be keeping itself to country boundaries. I'm in Australia, and not only have I never seen one of the cars the article is talking about, I've never seen a spam ad for it either...
Targetted spam? Why can't they do it with the rest of the spam, all of which seems to be trying to sell stuff to people in the US.
Aren't we all maybe jumping to conclusions here? I mean there is one throw away line about blocking certain websites.
Just like the last couple of times the government raised a stink, and threatened to block stuff, it will just be smoke in the wind. Look at their plans to stop Australians gaming online, and also the laws on hosting material 'not acceptable for children to view' in South Australia. They both had some sort of motions passed, and then got washed away into irrelevancy due to the complete inability of the govt to enforce the laws they formed on the matter. Either that, or the laws they formed were so watered down as to be pointless.
The Australian government can't and won't bring itself to the stage of actively proxying all international and national traffic and parsing it for hints of illegal plans for violent protests. Instead, they will pass some sort of motion that forbids Australians from hosting such a site on an Australian server, whilst completely ignoring the possibility of internation hosting etc. They will be seen to be doing something by the people who don't know better, and the people who do know better will just get on with life as if none of this ever happened.
Sure, this is a bad thing in so far as the precedence it sets, or rather in the precedence it re-enforces, but it will make no difference to anyone in the end.

No, that would not be me, because I don't live in the US.

Could anyone who moderated it up provide a reason other than they're bashing MS, that's +1 baby!
Well no. They can't comment if they moderate now, can they?

I find it funny that the site is apparently a "Verisign Secure Site" :)

You mean Perdido Street Station?

Gah! I see what you mean. I'm in the same boat, and the bloody things never seemed to end...

Some folks will write the European format with slashes as well.
That would be because some countries use the Day month year format and slashes. Like Australia for example. 07/06/2003

I'm confused. Your list there has 1999 with a drop of over 300 from the year before, and dropping even further in the two years after that

lol. The article points to sourceforget.net, not sourceforge. Might want to fix that :)

OK... so why didn't the dumbass go down to the Brookstone store and return it?
Err, because he doesn't know if it's an issue with DRM on CD, or with the player itself...
