I don't think the 'why' is a question. It's a great idea for someone really into taking pics.
I, for example, have a Sony Camera. It uses the old Memory Sticks. Max 128mb. Carry around a dozen of those bad boys and your looking at $700-1000. And they only hold about 80 pics each. Under heavy shooting, that goes quick!
I don't the the question is why... but more of why is this news, things like this have been used for years. I remember reading about National Geographic photographers using and filling 20gb versions in half a day!
I could see this as being something that might possibly maybe be considered if this was something effecting over half the user base... but it's not. It's just a stupid tech support question that someone was dumb and didn't post in the right forum.
thats how ms got most of it's software it has now. Notepad, not written by MS, but it was bought my MS so you'll never know now. That's just one example, but there are several that are written by other companies/people and then bought my MS.
In order to filter something, one has to know what it is they want to filter.
So with that, I can imagine an underground room, the size of a football field, dimmly lit... filled with people and computers sitting there knowing things and then putting them in a filter.:chuckles:
Really though, there has to be a group of people that are in the know of what needs to be filtered. That's kinda sad they live in a country like that.
So I'd have to be using IE in the first place, right?
Well there appears to be a patch out already. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/download.h tml?http%3A//ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firef ox/releases/0.9.3/FirefoxSetup-0.9.3.exe
to some people, "hembra" means woman and is commonly used. to other people, "hembra" means bitch and is commonly looked down on. to me, "hembra" means nothing.
they all have the same idea... shoot the bad guy and win. There is no major diffrent in gameplay between any of them. Oh sure some look better and some let you do more, but it's the same basic thing in a diffrent setting.
Just like a sitcom is a sitcom is a sitcom. They've been the same since they came out, just new characters and places, same stupid jokes and plots.
So it's totally impossible that just 5 mins after they released RC2 they realized the mistake and fixed it? It's not possible that it was something small and easily fixed. These are humans writing the code and they could have missed something, they could have also just as easily fixed something, repacked it and tried it on some pc's having the trouble and they worked fine.
I see your joke and raise an interesting question from that... how do we then know that someones heart isn't running really fast? Now we just count the pulses and we can determine how hard someones heart is working... how would we tell with this?
I doubt there's going to be a little LED sign on his chest saying how many RPM's the thing is going.
I'd have to say this is an ok quiz. It only tests you on half of the real message. The REAL info, headers and the actual link itself is much more solid evidence of if the email is real.
That's the first 2 places I look, the return path and where the link points. Either of those look suspicious you can safely ignore the rest of the mail message as it doesn't matter what it says.
I had a similar problem. Boss was curious why I was switching out Compact Flash cards in a reader I brought. I told him I was copying parts of a small ISO of a linux distro I was going to try out at home.
I was asked by corporate security to remove it or have it removed. I turned right around and asked them "Do you give access to the internet in any way, shape or form?" of course they do. I then sited numerious free email sites and plenty of "X: drive" sites that let you store info central on their systems, also tossed in a bit of AIM/FTP/IRC file transfering for example. The execs were dumbfounded and had to call a few "heads of IT" and "techies" to confirm what I said.
Of course I was right and anyone in the company with internet access could easily upload any file and they would never see it. I was allowed to keep my CF reader/writer and they left me alone.
US Had this at least 4 years ago... guy I used to work with said he's seen, first hand, this type of technology already in use by the US.
He said the device was about the size of 2 tissue boxes used like binoculars. I watched the video from that site and what he described was much better detail than that. Said they could see the shapes of the body even down to a details as fingers.
Just another top secret toy we already have but aren't allowed to know about.

BLOGS SUCK. Who fucking cares. This is stupid news. -1
So if there's a firefight... this would stop the police from using the perps own guns against them. Great.

99% of all stability problems with FF are because of extensions/plugins or unstable systems to begin with.
FF 1.0PR actually crashed several times for me. 1.0 final has not crashed yet.

Good. Trash it and get a decent Dell.

Unfortunalty the little blurb on the front page is all that exsists for this. There is no Fucking Article in this case. :dunno:

You're the dumbass. You restated my point. They are all the same. Shoot bad guys.
You just resaid it with less words. But essentally that was my whole point.
to some people, "hembra" means woman and is commonly used.

to me, "hembra" means nothing.
Congrads, you seem to have just figured out the idea behind every FPS ever made. Run around and shoot stuff.
Doom = wolfenstien = rott = hexen = heretic = half-life = doom 3 = quake 1,2,3 = tty quake = DoD = battlefield 194X = CS = half life 2 = Doom 234512

NASA is a smart organization.

seriously, this is nothing but a joke. avionics software does NOT use 1GB of storage, nor does it run a PC-oriented OS (be it XP or linux).
RealTime Linux incidentally, is used by Pratt & Whitney - they should know a thing or two about aircraft control.
Avionics software still doesn't use a "PC-oriented OS" huh?
I see your joke and raise an interesting question from that... how do we then know that someones heart isn't running really fast? Now we just count the pulses and we can determine how hard someones heart is working... how would we tell with this?

No DRM would be a good part. It's a friggin book, if I want to pass it around I am or I'm not going to get into it at all.
Yea there's lots of 64-bit OS's, but they were refering to ones that people might actually WANT to run.
Apple sucks.
Thank you so much for providing such a usefull comment. CmdrTaco will now come visit you and make some spam with scrambled eggs for you.

I give the test a 30% effective rating.
The cause of the crash would be the impact with the ground. It has nothing to do with IE of FF.
