Very good post. People who suddenly come to have a lot of money (e.g. winning the lottery) are often surprised when their life takes a turn for the worse after the initial glow has worn off.
Similar argument used to support the FCC being involved with indecency on broadcast TV. It's always there in the air and a child could tune into broadcast TV at any time, so there has to be indecency regulation.
Don't we have the V-chip? The FCC's role has been superseded by technology, as far as I'm concerned.
especially given that 480i component has negligible advantage over full-bandwidth S-Video.
The improvement going from S-Video to component (better color) is much more noticeable than the improvement going from composite to S-Video (sharper picture), IMO.
Of course, we are talking about those who claim to see no difference between HDTV and SDTV here...:P
I always wondered why they didn't go after companies such as rapidshare.
They have tried going after RapidShare (both in the USA and in Germany), and while RS lost some of the initial ruling, they have come out on top in every recent case.
Might as well just give them a thumb drive with the image and say good luck.
You need a hell of a lot less luck to install from a USB stick than from a DVD. Install discs have always been difficult to burn because of all the small files, and DVD-R are still too expensive to waste. Only the clueless should be trying to install from spinning disks these days... USB install is the way to go.
The only thing I haven't seen it work on is the new Alice in Wonderland which has Disney's "Fast Play" technology which automatically starts the movie...after forcing you to sit through all of the previews and animations without the ability to skip anything at all.
Why do you think a very easily damaged body part is right out on the edge of the body completely unprotected by bone or even muscle (bearing in mind that evolution doesn't select for comedic value)?
They are where they are for exactly the reason the GP stated... to allow them to be thermally regulated separately from the rest of the body. Ever notice how they can change position? They extend further away to cool down and draw nearer to the body to warm up.

Now please explain why, again assuming two candidates seem equally capable of doing the job, you would _ever_ pick a female over a male.
Boobs. :)

None of these programs do anything even remotely useful. All they will manage to do is prevent you from connecting with legitimate peers.

I've never considered it before... but I'm the exact same way.
the key part of the phrase is more than.

-1 Overrated is the choice of many mods in such a situation.

Fast Play, eh? Sounds doubleplusgood, comrade.
I think I could tell the difference, given all my coathangers are plastic. :)
Cool videos! Thanks for sharing. :)
I only recently found out that those were not the American spellings. They have always looked right to me.
Delivering an OS to the masses is like delivering any other kind of product. You give people what they want.
Bullshit. These people don't know what they want. That's why advertising is so important, so you can tell them what they should want.
Windows' popularity has nothing to do with "giving people what they want", and everything to do with advertising.

How is bricking the phone not the same as ruining it?
From what I understand (never actually used it myself), Opera's adblock features are pretty weak compared to Firefox add-ons like adblock plus.
You understand incorrectly. Opera's adblocking is just as capable as AdBlock+. Just use a good block list such as the one maintained by Fanboy.
You could try Dillo.
I can remember that Netbeans and Winamp sort of jumped from v3 to v4.
Winamp skipped version 4 entirely... the reason being they did not want users to submit any "Winamp 4 skins". :)

Those are practically as mythical as the unicorn. Everybody flies a flag of convenience, most commonly that of Panama.
It's the shipping equivalent of incorporating in the Cayman Islands or having a Swiss bank account.
