That's why our crowd has been voting "not Bush" for 8 years. That's why we have less of a consensus in the coming election. Both of the candidates are "not Bush". Fucking yay.
Hardy with Compiz and advanced desktop effects is pretty damned cool. I'm getting converts daily on my university campus just from fellow geeks saying "What is that!?"
I've heard this turn of phrase before. As an ignorant American I wasn't aware that the Aussies felt that way, either ironically or sincerely. From whence does it come?
It does seem awfully stupid that they won't stream it overseas. I doubt that the creative people had anything to do with that.
It has nothing to do with faking the user agent and everything to do with using far more bandwidth and resources than is necessary to do a job that will be minimally effective at best. 6% of slashdot's traffic is not an insignificant amount of bandwidth. As another poster put it, they are using a flamethrower to take out a hornet's nest, on the whole bloody internet.
I spent the majority of this weekend helping my 60 year old father in law find out of print records on Youtube. Eg, Brenda Holloway "Every Little Bit Hurts" I captured the sound via Audacity, and exported to mp3. He burned himself a CD of out of print 50's songs that he would have no other way of getting, and he was happier than a clam. I explained to him that this was only quasi-legal, and we searched for every song he wanted to aquire on Itunes before taking this route. Surprisingly, on a CD he burned with 24 tracks, only 2 were available for purchase, the rest were only available on the internet, or via a CD he already had.
Whether RealPlayer 11 can capture youtube audio is rather besides the point, as the "analog hole" will always be available.
My favorite political predictor site is electoral-vote.com They use an amalgamation of national and statewide polls to show the current feeling of Americans on a wide variety of races. Including a national map with a current tally of the electoral votes right at the top.
Wow, still refusing to read the frakkin' article. We are talking lag in the range of 13 to 47 ms. Hardly noticeable unless you are doing a systematic analysis. A systematic analysis like was done in the article! Nice to know that fiber is working out for you though.
Read the bloody article. He shows that bittorent traffic capped to 10% of total bandwidth still causes more latency than an http download using 90% of the pipe. The total latency hit is small, but still significant for VOIP or high intensity gaming.
Yeah, it's convenient for RIM. However, I don't think that anyone truly concerned with privacy/security is depending upon email for it, over a Blackberry (tm) or not.
What happens to you when you wish to watch that movie or play that game 10 years from now, and the authentication server is no longer in existence? I agree that the requirements as they stand are not onerous, but it was only this year that all fairplay (tm) music was rendered unplayable due to this very issue.
I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 this weekend on my thinkpad. The process was seamless. Ubuntu is ready for grandmas. I got it at a good price too! However, I don't know how I can convince my non-geek friends that it really is that good, and it really is that easy.
I had an exploit that worked when i last checked it a couple days ago, and now does not. There is a flash photoslideshow app that will display the pics of any myspace UID you feed it, or it used to. The user id I have provided used to go to a hot asian girl's naughty pictures, but they no longer display. I merely changed the 8-digit number in the url to get the pictures off of anyone's myspace, private or not. Now it seems to work for public myspaces, but not private.
I had no problem buying a planless Nokia 6800 from at&t several years ago, unlocking it, and taking it to tmobile. Of course, I gave up the subsidization that would have been offered. The only feature that didn't port was instant messenger services. It worked great for me for years til my wife dropped it in a puddle. Tmobile wasn't able to offer me any support for the phone, not that I needed it. I've read that you can take an iPhone to tmobile, but that apple will mess with you. This is largely unique to the iPhone though.
A true sentient AI would have to be granted rights eventually. Not because it demanded it, but because we would, just as we have demanded rights for animals. Furthermore, as long as we are the arbiters of said rights, we would always put human rights above any others (animal, AI, or otherwise). Our society has already determined that sentience deserves rights, the extent of which can be debated, so it merely remains to prove or disprove sentience in a machine.

Bush is stupid, and the millions who voted for him did so because he is stupid like them.
Being screwed over by stupid people is hardly new for this crowd.
They don't promise, or provide, a 0% error rate for text messaging.
Who do you think Blackwater is hiring except for ex-Rangers?
The war on terror doesn't make Luddism any less ridiculous.
Then you'd be a dark spot, or two dark eye shaped spots.

I appreciate your considerate tone, especially when my post came off as rather brash.

I hope that helps. I would be quite annoyed with my device if its charge only lasted 6 hours.
My two year old HTC Tytn has a stock 1250 mAh. Its battery lasts at least 2 days under heavy use. You are wrong.

Thanks for the awesome reference! Yet another weapon in my arsenal of procrastination

How is any of this legal? Injecting content, false or otherwise? DOS'ing a server? They're fighting fire with fire.

These solutions are quite elegant for your situation. However, you are not much of a target.

I agree that the requirements as they stand are not onerous, but it was only this year that all fairplay (tm) music was rendered unplayable due to this very issue.
And that's why it's never wise to pay for porn.

The word you are looking for is "trial". Otherwise interesting post.
