the most popular tv brand codes are tried first, son on avaerage it would take much less than half minute. Plus if you can see that the tv brand is one of the first one tried you know it will work right away.
About 5 times more densely than the USA, and 15 times more densely than Russia. Maybe that explains it?
Even if it is more densely populated they are probably concentrated in some areas and there are areas where no one lives. It shouldn't be too difficult to pick a place, probably they missed the target.
Macs are used in some very specific interest groups. That should be interesting enough to make them a great target, regardless of the market share with the general population. Same for Linux.
As the summary hints and is obvious if you read the article, the news is not about women in general being able to see colors in general better than men. The news is about women being less prone to have color blindness, which according to article happens to 8% of men. If you are a man and do not have color blindness then you can see colors just as well as a normal woman. So to say that women see colors better is wrong.
That may be the case if we are talking about the elections. But I do tend to try not to buy from people that use spam to advertise, whenever I can. I just don't think it's fair with the people who decide they will not advertise with spam because it doesn't fell right.
Your prize today is 9 shiny new windows patches! And a new car!
But that's not all, Funkdid! Bob Barker is also going to come to your house and personally neuter your dog! Actual retail price of Bob neutering your dog, $129.99!
Can Bob install the damn patches while he's at it?
Since the first real Rock and Roll music appeared approaching, 60 years ago now, louder has been better. That's a "recent" trend?
That's not the way the poster meant it. You should read the first article he links to. It's about how recently CD's are made to sound louder and how this causes the music to sound bad. There are some examples or rock CD's from not many years ago that did not exhibit this awful practice.
Try offering a discount to customer who "verify" their account. Verification could involve faxing a photo id and a signed document where they agree to pay for the services or goods. Whatever works best with your kind of business. Then you can double check somehow only the ones that don't want to "verify".
Nowadays stolen card numbers are not a problem for the customers because you can always call your bank and have a fraudulent charge removed. The banks always remove the charge first and the the business has to prove the charge is not fraudulent.
So the ones that get hurt are the businesses that accept stolen cards. But any decently run business should be able to verify the authenticity of the sale by checking the billing address and security numbers on the card.
BTW, calling the card companies and police in the middle of the night and then being shocked by the unresponsivenes is unfair or pain dumb.
You seem to forget some problems with using a mail service as your document store: -privacy: who knows who is reading your email. With Google's document analyzing and searching capabilities it wouldn't be smart to have your sensitive data lying in their servers. -chance of losing data: you don't know how Google keeps backups of all this info or what would happen if a bomb drops in their server room, there would probably be some data loss. If you are only using GMail as a backup then this is OK. -availability: if as you say you save directly to GMail and not in your hardrive then you depend on the Internet working and GMail servers working to access your data.
The nice thing about storing your data in your local drive is that it is there at all times. You could get a second drive to store backups or an external drive, or make backups to CDs. All of these would be faster and more secure than using GMail.

A Worm's Worm

This was never about doing a good thing. It's plain competition. Any decent worm should be able to remove all other worms and viruses from the system in order to have complete control over it. I bet this will only get more common.
Then again it should be easy to release this new work without the code that opens the backdoor so that it only does the removal part?
But how could you not launch a file with a name like that? What the hell would I need a computer for if someone sends me a hot screensaver named pamela_action.scr and I am "not supposed to open it."
I joke because I use RedHat 7.3 and have not needed to reinstall in about 2 years. So I wouldn't know what this story is about.

Paid To Spam

it wouldn't make sense for them not to pay. They could run away with your last payment but if they want to have a long term spamming business they would have to pay regularly and even build a good reputation of timley payment. This is just like running an affiliate program, you can't make money if you screw the affiliates too much.
So if I buy a Mozilla T-shirt from some website and it falls apart after first wash I will think that if Mozilla's logo is on this poor quality shirt then their browser can't be any good? But I use the browser everyday and I know it's good, that's why I wanted to where the logo on my back anyway. It doesn't make any sense.
I mean it's great that the foundation will probably make some money ouf of these and hopefully that will goto a better browser.

but that's the point, the problem is that people think something is official just because it looks like it.

Everyone should move immediately to Firefox and then keep using it, regardless of this new bug. Don't you think?

so your mail service is no good, can't you get an email account that works somewhere else?
the end of of email? come on people... our phone service was screwed up all day but it's not exactly the end of it.

Which can only be understood after drinking no less than 5 of those beers.
Yes but with that turned on the program is unusable for most people. I am asked all the time how to turn that off.

You can say that again, nothing beats pissing in the ocean.

Did anyone read that as British Pornographic Industry?
According to dictionary.com a species is
"A fundamental category of taxonomic classification, ranking below a genus or subgenus and consisting of related organisms capable of interbreeding."
So the set is very well defined. Tests can be performed to check if you are the same species as some other creature.
