A thousand pictures, but how many of them were really good? That's one problem with digital photos, it's "free" to take another one, so people make hundreds of shots they would've never taken if they were using film. Then again, it also increases the chance of finding a really good photo that one might've missed.
Please read my comment again. For someone who just complained about reading comprehension you just made yourself look silly with those detailed points.
I agreed with you, and said, either the submitter lacked reading comprehension skills or he lacked knowledge in geography, and thought Berlin was part of Austria.
But wait, Canon also uses Sony's CCD... I only learnt that during the defective-CCD-debacle which was also covered here in/.. A list of the affected cameras show that not only Sony cameras use the CCD, but also those from other manufacturers.
Hehe, what you wrote sounds like the kid from the Sixth Sense.:) Which protocol are those people on? ICQ has a feature where a user can go globally invisible, but allow some people to always see him/her. Later versions even had the ability that lets a user's status be different to each of his/her buddies.
Why not use Gaim in Windows as well? Then you'll get the same interface on every platform, it supports Jabber (and therefore GoogleTalk) too.
Yahoo Messenger's banner ads say you can use it to remotely insult your friends using sound files, sheesh, they call that a feature? It made me want to install it even less.
The mail providers may record the IP, which will lead you to the ISP, but what if the ISP's in a country that doesn't care? Even in the US, you'd need to get the appropriate authorities excited enough so they subpoena both providers, chances are they won't care. Unless of course it's something to do with ewil awab tewwowists!
Actually, drugs for HIV are so expensive that most people in the poor countries can't afford them, and there's an AIDS epidemy in Africa! There's a doctor from Thailand (Krisana Kraisintu) who's mixed the three main ingredients for the HIV-pill, without paying attention to the patents of the big drugs companies. I've read a magazine article about her where she says she's gotten death threats telling her to stop producing her own version of the pill.
Depends on how hard the code is. GSM phones ask you for your PIN (4 digit number) when you turn it on, and people usually leave their phones on, so they only need to enter that code in very few occasions, but people remember that number just fine.:)
Well, they did have some excitement getting diesel this morning, and they're guarding the place in shifts -- no idea how many are actually there, he wrote 5 people in an earlier post, but later on he said he can't disclose that information.
I suppose there's not a lot to do the rest of the time, I wonder if he's not just going to get bored to death, 4 days is okay, but he'll probably have to stay there for 4 weeks at least. Luckily his girlfriend's there.
Speaking of those ads, I saw a good one recently, it began with the screen just showing the text "Ringing mobile phones are hazardous to your health.". "Why?", I could hear someone ask as the text stays there. Then we heard a phone ring in the audience. Some people laughed, and then we hear a noise of the owner getting punched. Afterwards we realized the ring and punch wasn't from the audience, but that was just the surround sound system tricking us. Quite funny, and people remember it I think.
Although teenagers nowadays are probably proud to think that they're being some sort of great rebels when they leave their phones in annoying-ringtone mode..
Further, China is free to spend for its own growth with little oversight from the populace (such as investing heavily in pebble bed fission reactors, planning to build 30 new reactors by 2020), allowing it to spend money as it sees fit without the same social and political constraints as the US.
So... * Let's blow $200 billion++ chasing some invisible WMD. "Congress, I need another $85 billion?", "Sure, no problem." * Lower tax for the top 0.5% richest people. * What else is there...
Freedom of speech, human rights, and free flows of information aren't exactly things that the US can be proud of either, lately.
Actually IE can be made to do it, because MS has an ActiveX "filter" that enables things to be translucent. So yeah, instead of fixing their PNG support they expect everyone to load this filter crap.
Fancy, if not really useless, filters too, like one that makes the page a mirror image of itself.
But my version of IE crashes when looking at that example map, I wonder who will people blame, Microsoft or Google.
To point 2, actually the FTP client just sends REST [byte where you want to resume], and if the FTP server responds positively, the client knows it's supported and it will send the file beginning with that byte.
Yep, and getting the enemy to blow $200 billion++ in the air and getting itself hated by the rest of the world without needing to do it yourself.
I read a Time article that said, Iraq is now run by the Shias, a tribe that also runs Iran. The Iran-Iraq war was Saddam fighting the Shias, and now guess who just gave the (expensive) gift of victory to Iran.
Well consider it like this AC, if I ask you which country monitors their citizens' library records and phone calls, would you say a) it's some Middle Eastern regime, or b) the US?
These laws have brought the US one step closer to being the sort of nation that is closer to "Utopia according to Bin Laden". Still liking it?
When religious zealots run the country appoint one of themselves to the Supreme Court and cry and whine about a nipple on television, it gets one step closer to Bin-Laden-Land, albeit with the Lord Almighty instead of Allah, but heck I don't see the difference.
The freeness ("freedom" sounds weird in the context) must've been a factor, but also probably the fact that the average Kazaa user wouldn't be someone that likes classical music, and another factor is you can't tell if files in illegal share-networks are 100% okay, do they even have the right filename. For a Britney song it's okay, because you can compare it to what you hear on MTV, but for a classical music it's a bit harder, unless you're really an avid listener. An average person who is only moderately attracted to classical music can use this service to get what he knows is a correctly labeled, good quality file and that's probably what's going on.
"methinks is actually a valid English word, even though it's Shakesperean English, and even annoying English.. just so you know.:) I myself like saying it, it sounds wrong but then you get to turf those who point that out by saying "But Shakespeare used it.".:P

And the hackers are from/did this in Austria. Just the news article was written in Berlin, because the that's where the conference was taking place.
I was about to make the same comment to yours along the lines of "If it's in Austria, then it's not Berliners!".
;-)
Yeah, it's either reading comprehension, or lack of geography knowledge.

What if I want to run a program that behaves like rootkit due to company policy?
What sort of program would that be? Oh yeah, "It's a Sony!"(TM)

Great idea! I think we know what Logitech will come up with next: a mouse that can play sound files!

That's my idea too, but what about all the thousands of @gmail.com addresses?
Well, I suppose they can set-up a server that can forward the email while reminding the sender to use @googlemail.com in the future.

Regarding mouse gestures...
:) Hold the right mouse button, press the left one.
To go forward: press and hold the left mouse button, then press the right button.
Guess how to got back?
After a while it feels natural to you, I love it. This comment posted using Opera.

Congrats, this must be the first Slashdot post which has a scientific bibliography at the end!
