Unless something new surfaces, it's not real. There have been three articles; the original that alleges three anonymous sources verified a quote, another article quoting the original article that cites the anonymous sources, and a rebuttal article from the original author defending his journalistic integrity, but without any new information on the story itself. On that same note, I have FOUR anonymous sources that confirm Doug Thompson is paid by FOX News to distract people from the real issues at hand with gossip and FUD.
Joke aside, if this was truely a "Web 2.0" app the ads would be fetched asynchronously from other things, and invoked after the page was loaded (since it's not very useful to set the contents of a div tag if it doesn't exist yet).
But Ars Technica is a great example of how to squeeze every last ad view impression out of each visitor, and blend the ads in nicely so you barely separate the article content from the advertised products. Visiting that site just now has prompted me to install adblocking software.
One issue with cellphones right now is that the (A)GPS API is closed off to third party applications on all phones except for Motorolas. Will it be possible to interface with the GPS hardware on the phone through Linux?
Profitability of a sports program is impossible to figure out, because the pro argument is that a successful sports program attracts students and notoriety to the school and also captures more alumni donations that often make up a good percentage of the school's income. If you were to look only at the accounting books though, you can count all the schools with a truely profitable sports program on one hand and still have some fingers left. The elite Division I-A schools will make money from football and basketball, but this only goes to subsidize the volleyball and tennis and swimming programs along with countless other. Only the top 6% of the I-A schools (i.e. the best of the best) operate in the black. Oh and if you're not Division I-A you're definitely losing money and the sports program is being subsidized.
An excerpt from a study done by the NCAA on the profitability of college sports: "Spending changes had no impact on win-loss records. Or on alumni donations. Or on the academic quality of incoming students (based on SAT scores and the percentage of applicants accepted), an indicator of school stature and appeal" (In reference to spending changes from 1993 to 2001).
I use and develop QT applications under Gnome. Just because the WM was built on GTK doesn't mean it prevents QT apps from running on your system. I'm not saying you are doing this, but I see a lot of KDE evangelists taking implicit credit for everything that was developed with QT, when KDE is a layer on top of QT and a smaller list of apps actually use the KDE framework (K3B is an example). As a side note, I also run K3B under Gnome because it's simply the best GUI CD/DVD burning software there is.
I'm going to throw one last comment in here, might have already been covered. The major distinction is the security code belongs to a private entity, he isn't advertising access to his house or a competition to break in. The company selling the home security system is marketing the system as something that keeps your house safe, and convincing people to pay them money for a product that should improve the security of their home. If there is a fundamental flaw in the system, the consumer who has been misinformed needs to be aware of this as well as the company responsible. You can get down in to the gritty details of who should be informed first, how long should the vendor have to respond, the difference between vulnerability disclosure and proof of concept code and working exploit code, etc. but the basic idea is that weaknesses in a system that was designed and marketed as a secure system should be public information.
There's an obvious distinction between someone's security code for their alarm system, and a fundamental flaw in the particular alarm system that allows you to bypass the security code. The latter should definitely become public information after the vendor is able to address the issue, or if they choose to ignore it.
Well, if you had the server that's running the mirror also be authenticated on the private tracker, and downloading some or all of the torrents and seeding them on the mirror, you'd have duplicated the private tracker in part or whole. After all who cares about whether torrents can be shared or not they're just meta-information, the scarce commodity is the files themselves.
You seemed to have had it easy. My triangle shaped hole had a DVI interface, but was lacking HDMI/HDCP support where the new triangle I bought required it. I went through a couple of different triangles and sure they were all three sided objects, but some claimed to have a 4:3 ratio, some had 16:9, and I never did figure out what the anamorphic triangle was. Finally I got fed up and tossed my old toys and asked the local triangle provider what I need to make this work right. After buying a whole new set I discovered that only a couple of the triangles were going to fit properly anyways, the rest would be misshapen hacks that are stretched or squeezed in when they used to fit perfect. This is just trying to use it as it was intended, don't even get me started on what happened when I tried to make a backup of one of the triangles.
All the money coming in from shady companies wanting to sell V14GR4 and C14L1S by spamming through botnets doesn't hurt their dopamine flow either. Once you have all these computers looking for software to download you can start negotiating a price, then setup the next URL with a spam bot or DDOS zombie preconfigured for your client.
Depends on your definition of nothing. A share in a company is similar to a deed for land; the piece of paper itself was made up but it's a contract that is recognized in a court of law. A share guarantees you to partial ownership of that company, if the company issuing the shares did nothing the value of the share would reflect that. Also, people have been trading government securities and soon after corporate securities since the 13th century, a very broad definition of the modern world.
Well, for people who release their software under GPLv2 without reading the fine print, it means that they may agree with releasing their software under how the GPL is written now, but GPLv3 or 4 could potentially destroy the ideals of the license and allow your code to be used in proprietary software. It's a tin-foil hat angle, but I think that was the point of the grandparent post.
Why would Christian extremist groups be against it? They want to eventually mandate that all questionable content (determined by the U.S. government, maybe the FCC) is forced in to some sort of adult domain, and require ISPs to provide optional filtering of these TLDs. The adult webmasters are the ones against this, and are actually donating big dollars to their lobbying group to fight it. The Internet porn market is already saturated. You aren't going to get a larger percentage of the net viewers to start looking at porn, but these TLDs will require re-registering your domain name again to protect your namespace. For example a site like sex.com is pretty much forced to purchse sex.xxx to keep from losing it's marketshare, and at what price? According to this chairman of the ICM Registry in this article, about $75 a pop. It's a porn tax, an easy money grab at the net's most profitable industry.
It's funny, but true; I happen to be the accountant and windows admin for an SME. Our accounting software runs on Windows, our construction estimating software runs on Windows, our spreadsheets for doing certified payroll and other specialized tasks are written primarily in Excel. At home I run Linux and develop PHP web apps as well as cross-platform QT applications, but when it comes to getting paid you go where the money is.

If only someone would code this idea.
it seems the 74gb Western Digital Raptor spanks the other drives in everything but platter density
Does that include cost? If cost is not a factor they should throw in the Fujitsu MAS3735 for comparison.

Maybe he just stored all his illegal/copyrighted material on an external drive, and threw it in the river when he got a cease and desist letter?

Like ClamAV and pf?

Confirmed to crash Firefox 1.5 final in Windows XP, don't have access to my Gentoo box at the time.

Could it also have something to do with the fact that Christmas is coming up?
