Yeah, I've noticed google will have a fairly recent version of a page available when searching, even pages that you wouldn't expect to be updated all that often. (you would expect news sites to be crawled at least daily, but not some off website in the middle of nowehere).
One thing I will give google a hand for is there ability/choice to not have to have large graphical ads anywhere. AllTheWeb has a banner ad at the top of each page, and another one that appears beside your search results. It is mildly annoying, and if it proves better, could be tolerable. Google's slim environment is very appealing though.
I'll have to try AllTheWeb for a little bit first and see if it suits my needs before I can give a better evaluation than this.
They need to be taught that it is something they need to do their whole life, not just in gym class. Look at the percentage of kids from your gym class that still have a highly active lifestyle? Especially those that aren't involved in sports anymore? It does make a difference.
In elementary school, it will be hard for the kids to see the value of it aside from having fun, but in middle school/high school, they can understand the value of an active lifestyle.
Exercise and diet both play important roles in overall health. School can limit a child's options as to what they can eat at school in way of school lunches or vending machines, but that's about it. For the most part, good eating habits, and learning to eat healthy foods is learnt at home.
As for exercise, that can be taught at school, by quality Physical Education instructors. (Which are in short supply I think). It's sad that too many PE teachers treat PE as not much different than slightly organized recess. PE should be used to teach kids to pursue active lifestyles and to enjoy recreation. Even those that aren't in the best current phsyical shape can learn this.
Anyway, diet is something that is mostly learnt at home, and probably at a very early age. Physical activity can be taught in many places.
I guess since I use IMAP I never even download much more than the header of any message I'm not going to open, so it doesn't get opened in the preview pane. I suppose that's why that didn't occur to me.
I would bet that most people using windows XP using MS Picture Viewer or whatever to view them. Especially since I think that is what it uses to preview them. It would be interesting to see if that is exploitable in some way.
I heard this on the news last, I figured the virus just went around deleting *.jpg or corrupting them, not really 'infecting' them.
It's pretty simple to stay safe, and I have repeated this many many times to customers when I worked at an ISP. If you are using Windows or Outlook, do not open an attachment if you don't know what it is. It's very simple. I don't care if it says "This is very important, Bob and you must open this now." Unless you know specifically what it is and you were expecting it, don't open it. There is no need to, and you aren't going to miss out on much.
Of course, in the case of stupid users, there are some steps you can take on the server side to filter some viruses, but it's not perfect. In the end, patch Outlook, and educate your users. You could probably pretty easily drop any potentially executable attachments before they even got to Outlook (which drops many of them on its own).
Assuming that "selling online" means in mp3 format, and that they will probably be 128 kbps, then there is no way I am going to pay $10 for something that is of inferior quality.
I too, haven't bought more than 2 or 3 CD's in recent years, but it has nothing to do with downloading music. I have a 4 gig mp3 collection; all of which are my music cds converted to mp3s. I only have 1 cd that was downloaded and ripped; however, that is because I lost the cd I originally purchased.
So, why haven't I bought many cds recently? Because there isn't anything out there that appeals to me right now. None of my favorite bands have put out anything new and exciting, and the rest of it is basically crap that I don't care to listen to.
I blame those producing the music for not making me like it enough to want to buy it for their "loss" of income.
You will be happy to notice that Time Warner is not on the list of companies in the article that are planning on implementing this. I know it makes me happy to know that my sweet-ass 3 mbps downstream speeds aren't going away anytime soon.
In the past 5 days I've had 1.5 Gb downstream (728 Mb upstream) received from my cable connection. That includes running a counter-strike server on it (which handles about 10 people very nicely,) As well as downloading Office XP from school (legally, mind you.)
I'm curious how much the average person transmits/receives over their cable connection in an average month if you don't include P2P traffic? There's absolutely no P2P over my connection.
Sort of like the free nights and weekends cellphone plans. My sister had one for quite awhile, and then was stupid enough to give it up for a digital phone instead. Arg! Let me see you get one of those offers nowadays for about $20-30/mo
Except that many large universities than I know of (Purdue) have daily limits on bandwidth in the dorms, whereupon it starts dropping packets like mad once you use so much in a day. Also, the whole of their resnet is on a very crappy line, whereas the rest of the campus is on a very nice line to the outside world. I'm sure lots of people still use P2P, but not everyone is getting 3 mbps downstream on it like I am sitting at home on my cable. (Note: I don't actually do that very often, but I do get speeds of 1-3 mbps downstream very often, and about 356kbps upstream).
I think it is related. I know there is a difference, but if we don't see trains in our cities everyday, and we're driving our cars all day long, then we're going to be less likely to adapt them elsewhere. Maybe.
I also think that light rail is more important than long distance travel by rail. Especially in a country as spread out as the US is. (Although a rail solution maybe through New England would be a good idea.)
Because places like GM, Firestone, and a few others convinced everyone it would be a good idea to rip up all the rail and run buses and cars instead of trains.
Basically the trade off will be security/stability vs features. You can have a cutting edge browser (1.1, 1.2, etc.) or you can have a very stable browser (1.0.9).
I wonder if the developers working on the 1.0.x releases will get bored quickly?
NT4 (SP2) ran much better than 98 on my old P-133 with 128 MB of ram. It has 98 on it since my parents use it, and that thing has more problems than something with lots of problems. (How's that for an analogy?)
Yeah, hell if it were that easy to do all CG we'd see more movies like Final Fantasy. It looks NICE but still not as good as the real thing. I prefer CG like you see in Shrek, where it's definetly a fantasy world; or to create scenes that don't exist, like in some sci-fi movie. But you don't need CG to recreate my living room if you can film there already.
Actually, you're not correct. You don't have to provide a free way to obtain the source code, I suggest you read this: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGP LAllowMoney and related stuff.
Even if you believed the part about wanting to relocate, I don't think there is any chance that Congress would relocate to TORONTO: Dallas, Seattle, and Toronto have also been mentioned as long shots.
There's a group known as myg0t that does this. They're well known propagators of cheats and other such crap. I've ran into a few before, they just seem to like to cheat in order to piss people off, and that's it. I would guess there are more people that cheat for that reason than to actually make people think they are better than they are. They're basically the trolls of Counter-Strike.
Yes, I too am not the greatest player on earth but have been accused a fair number of times. Once I got a permanent ban from a server just because I got lucky and got a knife kill directly followed by a headshot to a guy across the room.
I bet that for every accusation I see probably 10% of them are true, and even fewer have concrete proof of it. I wonder if anyone has been wrongly blacklisted? There's quite some large blacklists out there that are maintained and many servers make use of them. This is probably a real problem with hijacked wonids.
Have you tried contact the CS developers about this so maybe they could check to see if a person is using either the wine opengl.dll or the windows one? It couldn't be too hard to implement.
- Shooting hostages no matter which team you are on
- Having the bomb and not planting it
- Repeatedly start and stop defusing the bomb when your teammates are waiting on you
- Get a friend to play for the other team, hang back until you are the only two players left and then run around and don't kill each other but pretend to knife fight and waste everyone's time
There are many ways to ruin such a game without cheating. These are also difficult to address from a developers perspective.

* How many of us ship viruses with a state of the art costly development environment which will be used by thousands of developers ?
Ford Motor Co. ships(ed) thousands of cars that when rear ended with the left turn signal on would explode killing people.
Ford Motor Co. and Firestone shipped thousands of SUVs with faulty tires that would explode at high temperatures and rates of speed.
Funny how these things keep happening over and over again? Nimda isn't going to cost lives is the big difference here.

Yes - microsoft software can be 'buggy' - but its developers are Good.Developers that write buggy code are not, IMHO, 'Good'.
Note, I am not saying anything about MS software or their developers in this comment; only that I believe that buggy code != good developer.

Trolls are common in Counter-Strike, such as:
- Shooting teammates when friendly fire is on
- Shooting hostages no matter which team you are on
- Having the bomb and not planting it
- Repeatedly start and stop defusing the bomb when your teammates are waiting on you
- Get a friend to play for the other team, hang back until you are the only two players left and then run around and don't kill each other but pretend to knife fight and waste everyone's time
