From what I've read and heard on the news, the issue isn't fixing the corruption, that was fairly simple. The issue is finding out HOW those records got corrupted and fixing that, so it doesn't happen again.
We just got something similar here. (http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2006/12/04/ewa ste.html). I can now drop off any of the equipment at our local SARCAN staions (same place we take bottles, cans, milk jugs, etc). Personally, I'm all for it. The extra $10 or so on a computer is worth it to me knowing that the old equipment will be properly disposed of.
Hardly anyone? CMS (Content Management System) is used quite a bit out there. I put it in google and the 2nd hit (a stock was the first) was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_sy stem
I would say that a Content Management System and a Content Managemet Platform are probably pretty similar.
I can't disagree with anything you said, just pointing out that its a lot closer than people suggesting driving through a bad neighbourhood or going into a pawn shop are so far off its not even funny. Especially when some of those people are getting +5 insightful.
Its obvious the mods didn't understand the article, there's no way your comment should be +5 insightful. As Achromatic pointed out above, just connecting to a specific tracker is not enough to get blocked. You have to be connected to the particular swarm that is sharing a copyrighted work. Just because [sometracker] has some screener on it, does't mean that connecting to it gets you accused of sharing that work.
If you read the article you'll see that he connected specifically to torrents of questionable legality, ones he believed were being monitored:
I placed this client on a number of torrent files that I suspected were monitored by BayTSP
Its not like they block everyone going to thepiratebay.org, only people who appear to be partaking in the sharing of a copyrighted work. I'm not saying this tactic is a good one, just not quite as bad as its being made out to be.
No actually, its my fault. When we were all anxiously awaiting the release of HL2, I bought a new computer a few months before the expected release date (this was after the whole code leak fiasco) in anticipation of its release. Sure enough, it was delayed, and didn't get released for about 8 more months. Well, guess what. I just bought a new computer in anticipation of Portal and TF2. I apologize to everyone. Next time, I'll wait until the game is released before I buy a new computer.
That's just it, without methodology and at least higher resolution pictures where things could be traced, this could be a complete farce. Without more documentation to back it up, I can't really call this news (as the blogger notes in his posting).
I think a lot of people feel that way. The first thing I can see that may "encourage" me to go to Vista would be some fabulous new game that looks better in, or requires DX10. Other than that, I don't have a reason to upgrade. I'm actually picking up a new box in a few weeks, and I'll be getting a copy of XP with it. That will be my first box with XP. My Windows workstation at home is 2000, and has been for at least 3 years.
Simple, its worth a lot of money to Canadians to have movies filmed up here. It may be a lot cheaper than doing it in Hollywood, but it doesn't really cost us anything either.
NA != USA. That, and a lot of those PS3 are still on shelves. Not saying that the numbers in the summary are right, but yours don't compare directly either.
That, and does it consider time spent sleeping with your SO (and yes, I actually mean sleeping, not other "activities") as time together? My guess is that it doesn't. So, this is a very believable statistic. I spend all day at work with a computer, and some time at home. I only spend about 5 - 6 hours of waking time with my wife a day. It really doesn't say anything about how our lives are spent, just acknowledges that computers are becoming a bigger part of our lives, but they are not necessarily intruding upon our time with our families.
Passing strings via POST as opposed to GET is not "secure". Both can be easily sniffed. The only way to do it is to use SSL, in which case, even the GET strings are encrypted.
Some of us just assume that when reading some of the headlines. Of course, this does present an interesting opportunity for those of us outside the reach of such a bill. Host your non-DRM'd content at .
I would support a system that enables the artists (or publishing companies) to release their works in such a way that the media can only be used by those who have acquired it legally. However, my belief is that the individuals rights (in this case fair use) should out weight the corporations, or even the artists.

Repeat after me, copyright infringement is not theft.

What does this have to do with bridging the digital divide? This is about recycling old computers and accessories.

Yes, but it only has a single DVI out. The submitter is looking for dual dvi. I did a quick search and came up with this: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php/page _id=5/popup6%5B%5D=10:594/popup2%5B%5D=1:596
There's a XFX GeForce for about $133, which isn't bad really, and that's not a bad card at all. I was playing CS:S with a 6800GT OC from BFG until just recently.

However, CFL's have the ballast built in, though that would account for some of the higher cost of the bulbs overall.

That's probably the best analogy yet to describe this.
While EP2 is included in this release, its not (IMHO) not what is really being anticipated her. People are waiting for TF2 and/or Portal.

I was thinking Starcraft. At least one of the first that would (potentially) team random players together against other random players in an RTS.

Which might also explain why you post anonymously.
Wow, a little research, and I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathyscaphe_Trieste.. . deepest dive, at almost 11,000m. That's impressive.

But how does the data get to the server in the first place. If its not encrypted from step one, its not secure.
