They have those, they're called Concealed Carry Licenses.
Well, not everywhere sadly. New Jersey sucks.
I believe Illinois is the only state with no concealed weapon permits. I'm not disagreeing that New Jersey sucks, but for different reasons. Is it just difficult to obtain?
It appears there are some hurdles that must be cleared concerning copyright before the project could be accepted.
Wait... what? I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi, I'm genuinely confused. ARE some hurdles that must be CLEARED (future tense)... COULD be accepted (past test)? Which is it-- do the hurdles still need to be cleared before the project can be accepted, or have the hurdles been cleared and the project accepted?
A user clicking a link after searching shouldn't necessarily be the only way to success, at least for Google (I've never used Bing). Lots of the time I use Google my searches resemble "convert 1452.53 pounds to slugs" and I don't click on anything since Google displays the result at the top. I use this for all sorts of things, like "us time," or "Thanksgiving 2011." I can't be the only one. They need a better metric if they're going to make these claims.
Oh come on. No one I know encrypts their disk because they're trying to hide something. It's just a safe practice. If I had evil tendencies and stole some random person's phone, the first thing I'd do is crack their email trying to eventually get to bank accounts or something similar. I don't care who you are, that should be a concern.
Do you routinely complete bank transactions while on public wifi?
I don't see a massive orbital solar platform happening-- space debris can't miss something that big. There's a lot of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_debris .
Thanks for my chuckle of the day! I'm also okay with this as long as I don't need to read/. to learn about it (i.e. they should tell me, and I'll accept).
Haha, I know what you mean-- while I set up the Ampache server (it was for my own benefit; I use it via a web browser), I don't actually own an iPhone or iPod, so I tested it on my brother's. I'm resisting!
This is actually a really good idea. I have an Ampache server set up on a plug computer (not pogo plug, but one of the original Marvell ones), and there is an Ampache application for the iPhone and iPod named iAmpache. It works pretty well, but is still being improved. It bet it'll be a much better media interface than what he's got going now!
Read the comments on the ticket, and you'll see plenty of good reasons. Comment 71 caught my eye quickly (it was long), but there are several others as well. What's frustrating is that beyond Mr. Shuttleworth's mysterious design idea about which he hinted (which isn't even happening until the next release), the change was made with the same attitude about which you're complaining: "Listen to me, I want it this way." I'm not moving away from Ubuntu, but as a contributing member of the community, I'd like a little love. Some explanation at least would have been nice.
I definitely recommend Sheeva. I'm using mine as a streaming media server. I used to just use a well-built desktop Linux system, but now I'm using the Sheeva Plug with an SDHC card containing all my music and it uses less power than my desktop turned OFF (my desktop pulls about 5 W of phantom power, whereas the Sheeva runs at MAYBE 4-5 W depending on load). Can't beat it, and there are a ton of prebuilt images for it. I even have Hamachi on there.
Sheesh, I'm getting tired of seeing all the things Microsoft screws up so often. Okay no, I lied -- I'm not. But seriously, think about how much publicity they get because of all the crap they pull. Think the "any publicity is good publicity" paradigm applies?
While I'm certainly not an IE fan, I must point out a few issues with your test. Firstly, after a quick scan of the Microsoft test (PDF form) it appears that they do not state their machine specifications. I'm willing to bet yours are different, thus providing different results. Secondly, the content of the websites they loaded have now changed significantly since that test, resulting in a potentially significant change in load time. Finally, although I didn't see the specification in the paper, they were using IE8, which indicates to me that they were using Windos 7, were they not? In light of these facts, it makes sense that your test results will not be the same.
To wrap it up... did anyone else notice the system requirements for the Microsoft PDF download? "Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2; Windows Server 2008; Windows Vista; Windows Vista Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Service Pack 3." Interesting. I use Linux, and it just seems to magically render those PDFs.

Care to elaborate on said search engine? Let me guess... it starts with a B...
Yeah that's what popped into my head when I read it, too.

I do. Now you know someone.
Your phone is on your belt? You must be an engineer.

Give that man a cigar.
I didn't read all the comments, but did anyone else say "duh!"?
Try this one:
Next Gen Hacker 101 - How to view someone's IP address going to Google
Oh that was painful. Did anyone here actually finish that video?
You count Windows NT as two platforms? I really didn't think it was that great.
They're saying it comes installed on pre-configured machines from Dell, System76, etc.
But nothing was said about whether or not it asks permission. In my mind, that changes everything. No jokes about my mind.

Agreed-- that's my problem with it, too.

I had that same problem with Verizon, except it was only a month. And it was the ENTIRE 208 AREA CODE that was out.
