- Put the disc in, IT FUCKING PLAYS THE FEATURE IMMEDIATELY without any copyright warning, disclaimer, stupid dramatic intro, annoying menu, etc. (And related, YOU decide when to skip ahead; the disc never says "Sorry, I can't allow you to do that right now")
But would this just be encouraging them to add yet more annoying things to the lower-priced ones to get me to pay more for the unencumbered one? I guess the pirated version really is better.
Why does they keyboard in the upper-right picture have an Apple logo in the lower-left corner? Looks just like the Apple Extended Keyboard I'm typing on at the moment, in fact (complete with the older ADB mouse).
Note that the point is, Google isn't getting sued to see -who- DaTruthSquad is. Google is getting sued to reveal if the guy is the former mayor. Not to say that everyone is angelic, but, in all probability, DaTruthSquad is probably a crook himself.
In other words, they're asking for a single bit of information: true/false, not a string. If true, it certainly dampens the spin put on this story.
For instance, high-resolution full-body scans (a CT scan of every inch of your body) are frequently criticized because they are so accurate and exhaustive that they will nearly always find something. Even a perfectly healthy individual will have a variety of benign masses of tissues which will show up on CT.
OMG! You mean I already have something in my body that I don't know about? And I'm not supposed to worry about it? Thanks a lot, now I have to go in for a CT scan to find out where this problem is!
If this is true, then they should create a new MD5SHA1 hash function that can be treated as a unit and a single hash value when being displayed. Or would that be considered too impure/inelegant?
It's only a matter of time until the number of people leaving the US exceeds those who enter, legally or otherwise. Oops, guess I just upped my terrorist profile index threat level color orange whatever.
It might be best always to use two hash functions and to have some strategy of migrating. That way, if one hash function gets compromised, there is still another one in place and can be used until the original one has been replaced.
Isn't using two hash functions the equivalent of using one hash function that is the mathematical equivalent of the two?
For example: If I sell 1 widget last month, and then I sell 10 widgets this month I can make the claim that I have a 1000% month-over-month growth rate. Not only that, I have a "faster rate of growth" than every other major widget manufacturer/retailer.
Even better, if you sold your first widget this month, you can claim such a high growth rate that it can't even be expressed as a finite value!
I like the sound of public domain. Its simple with out any complicated rules.
[...]
All the Gotchas and legal overhead built into some of them are just overhead that make the whole process fustrating.
Except that as I understand it, releasing something as public domain doesn't release you from being liable for damages it causes to others. Releasing it under the modified BSD license allows you to add a disclaimer that the user must agree to.
And all this "overhead" the more complex licenses have is what makes them work. Do you consider the laws in your country to be needless overhead that give you nothing useful that a lack of laws would give?
And you know, some of us are far more interested in "a free exchange of ideas and code that let you do what ever you wanted with it" than in some convulted ideology where "freedom" is redefined as something restrictive.
Do you live in a country where others' absolute freedom is restricted so that you can have some as well? 'nuff said.
If the middleman (who provides neither the content nor the bandwidth, and takes 3/4 of the money) can't make a profit here then I think perhaps they're doing something wrong.
You're being unfair! After paying for million dollar mansions, drugs, and lawysers, there's very little left over. What will they put into savings?
For years I've been predicting that cellphones are destined to become the future of computing. They are the most powerful computers that we carry with us all the time, every day.
I prefer to carry around a much more powerful bowling-ball sized computer atop my neck.

Just put a bunch of those "do not eat" packets in the valut.
You forgot an important one:

That's amazing! I've got the same password on my luggage!
May (the) Forth be with you!
There, fixed that for you.
I submit that we should do something more than symbolic if we really care about the issue.

We could call this crap the malweb, and malwebsites. I get those so often in my searches I usually just give up.

I am not understanding title article what
Here's the supposed printer-friendly page: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4234444.html?do=print
That's not printer-friendly, and only partly reader-friendly! (OK, so I gave away the real reason I'm using the printer-friendly page)

Sorry, I just can't help commenting on your random capitalization. Please, take a look sometime. It's bizarre.
Network Neutrality Squad has a forum and mailing list for posting and discussing test results.

I, for one, thank those in the 59 countries who have more than one cellphone so that I don't have to have one of those damn things.
Yes, but Bush didn't some chick a blowjob, so he's clearly still a good president.
Maybe they'll be nice and add a printer friendly button on this new PDF viewer.
