I certainly hope so. The most galling thing for me, a prolific original content provider (if I say so myself!), is seeing these scraper sites out-ranking me with domains years younger than my own and no visible effort at SEO, black hat or otherwise. It would be nice if AdSense actually enforced their policy of not being allowed on content used without permission.
Classic example of why URL shorteners should be considered harmful. Twitter is mostly to blame, I've had to shorten URLs for tweets before, but Twitter could employ better tactics than using the full url as the anchor text too.
So they're saying the families of fallen Afghani civilians (those killed by US/axis forces, well documented, try Wikileaks) are not worth considering then? May as well pull the whole fucking game.
I'm not sure if you're trolling or not (don't really care anyway), but books on books.google.com are in the public domain due to copyright having expired, or have been expressly granted permission to reproduce (eg Popular Mechanics) or have snippets reproduced in line with fair use guidelines of copyright law.
The problem *is* Flash. Not that it does glitzy animations or can be used to achieve horrible UI experiences; but that it isn't open. That Adobe pick and choose the platforms that get the latest binaries for it; that Adobe can opt to leave an entire platform out of a release or update cycle; that essentially, Adobe has been holding these people to ransom forever. Many people have come up with useful technologies and have allowed interoperability and cross-platform support by opening the specification via any one of a number of bodies that publish these specs. Adobe refuses to do this, and therefore Flash *is* and will remain evil until this changes.
While you're lording it up in Switzerland, I'm still here in sunny SA. Just so you know. Yes, apartheid is gone, but it is a mere 15 years later, and just because the system was changed quickly (relatively) does not mean that you can (a) ignore the profound impact it had materially and psychologically, and (b) expect the fundamental problems to vanish with the system that created them. We have a massive divide between rich and poor in this country, and like it or not, it's still more or less along colour lines, although there is clearly a small portion of the "previously disadvantaged" community who have accumulated great personal wealth through both straight and crooked dealings. However the basic issues arising from apartheid have largely not been addressed, and bitching that apartheid's over therefore everything must be ok is seriously ill thought out.
Did you have to link to that one-eyed, racist blog? Yes, there's urban decay in Joburg. It was inevitable given the inequality and injustice of the previous system, and has happened in other places too. Using race to apportion blame is being narrow minded in extremis.
Ah, but form following function is beauty in my eyes. Both the Gumpert and the EB110 score highly for me from that point of view. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no doubt, but "horrible" is a tad too strong. Not all earlier Bugattis would have won universal acclaim from a styling point of view either; the Type 57 "Tank" and the Type 101 Ghia were hit firmly with the ugly stick in my opinion.
The Bugatti EB110 is horrible"? To give you an idea of just how "horrible" it was, the greatest driver ever (statistically) - Michael Schumacher - bought one himself, and drove it often. Plus, it was the progenitor of the Veyron's quad-turbo meme. And you were doing quite well, up to there;-)
Why not have BIOS set up to boot from usb as primary boot device, IDE/SATA/SCSI as second, and have an external usb drive with an on/off switch? You could then access your usb drive contents even if booting off your IDE/SATA/SCSI OS simply by turning the usb drive on once the bootup sequence has started.
Exactly how does that differ from the USA's modus operandi? They assassinate democratically elected leaders and bomb innocents civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq and many other countries prior to that.
You give Gates far too much credit. He is a ruthless opportunist with an extremely privileged background. He is no computer industry prognosticator - even leaving aside the "640k" mis-attribution. It's his obsessive-copmpulsive drive to control that got Microsoft anywhere, not his industry insight.
Clearly here, correct lawmaking is taking a back seat to business interests. It's not the first, nor will it be the last, but it is certainly no less shocking for that.

Maybe you had a file with a link to an mp3 in it, like an M3U file...

Never mind the fact that when the Iranian people chose their government democratically, the CIA stepped in and helped overthrow it.

oh my god, the irony. It broke my irony meter.

Is it me, or is there something missing right before "why the lucky stiff..." in the submission?
