It probably pays to check their methodology. I think every x.x.x.1 update download might count as a download. For me, that would count for more than 10 downloads for three different computers, one user.
I would not turn to Safari until it support Windows IME.
If you mean Windows ME, and if you are serious, good luck with that. It's a version that is nearly eight years old now, and it was the worst of the 9x series anyway. Using ME is basically an odyssey in masochism.
I want to block flash on a site-specific basis and there's not a good way to do that.
I want to clarify this to say that there's not a good way to do this in Safari. There are some ways, but they aren't very good, definitely not as good as FlashBlock.
The initial quality was bad for Safari, but it improved considerably after the first update.
I don't really think quality is the problem. I have reliability problems with Firefox, but I'm still primarily a Firefox user. I think it's a matter of what you're used to and what it takes to switch to something else. I want to block flash on a site-specific basis and there's not a good way to do that.
Also, outside of Windows, I thought I'd switch from Firefox on my Mac to Safari following the introduction of tabbed browsing in version 3
Safari version 2 had tabbed browsing and that has been available since the introduction of OS X 10.4.
I used to think so (still think so with regard to AM/FM) but when I bought an HDTV tuner, I found several good TV shows that I could record to watch later.
I don't see why Voyager 1 doesn't count as IT. It is a piece of technology and it receives commands and returns information on command.
Oxford English Dictionary:
information technology (abbr.: IT) noun the study or use of systems (esp. computers and telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, and sending information.
Though I find it funny that the V1 picture was captioned as: "NASA's Voyager satellite computes at the edge of space as we know it".
Voyager 1 is not a satellite, it's not in any specific orbit unless you count the galactic core, and it's not at the edge of space as we know it.
I wonder about that. For the most part, Google is providing an automated system. If someone's misusing a trademark, I would think that the entity that bought the ads would be most liable. Google does catch prominent trademarks, but it would seem unrealistic to expect them to block all trademarks, including those held by obscure companies.
There are a few studios that said they would introduce on the format, but most of them are Bollywood and Asian studios. They claim to have several of Mel Gibson's movies, but it's not much. As it is, the A2/ A3 HD-DVD player includes 5 movies in the deal, making it close to the price of this VMD deal, and HD-DVD has an active product pipeline.
Yeah, from the headline, I somehow thought it might be at least somewhat relevant to some part of the real world. I thought it would be something about a Mid-East or SE Asian country, or at least something like Luxembourg, but coup against a web site?! Come on kdawson.
So what? It's not as if the advancements in hard drives are now unexpected. They are going to be pushed as hard as possible as long as they are competitive. SSDs are getting larger too, and flash chips are continually dropping in price. I really don't expect a "clear" winner for some time. What is a clear winner in one circumstance is a clear loser in another. I use a couple machines that are running on flash drives, one is a 512MB CF drive, but that's because vibration is a problem because it's running a CNC machine, spinning heavy duty motors, resonance, cutting metal and all, otherwise it ate a drive every three years. I call that a clear winner in that case. For other computers that I use to acquire and store media, flash would be a clear loser, it's far cheaper to mirror and back up than it is to go SSD. I expect that flash drives will displace hard drives more and more.
What sort of assistance would that be? Generally the end user would be the type of person that would need this sort of hand-holding, but the end user usually isn't the direct custimer. If you bought a computer, then warranty work probably goes through them. If you bought an OEM packaged chip, then your warranty & support goes through you you bought it from. Only with retail package parts would that be a problem.
I think the problem is that a lot of geeks have preconceived notions of how to do things. What a geek thinks is simple is often incomprehensible to anyone else.
I think manually managing things is really a big waste of time. I just use smart playlists to rotate what's on the player.
I think that's an uphill climb. With most people, they have certain preference and it's going to be incredibly difficult to change that.
I don't like Opera because I just don't like the user interface. Unless I find a page that doesn't behave well with Firefox or Safari, I'm probably not going to use Opera.
I won't say that Opera is bad but I can see several reasons how people might not latch onto it.
"This is especially true when I hear of engineers writing rootkits or spyware for a company. I want the balls of the engineer who wrote that code".
Who writes their paychecks again? Yes, programmers shouldn't be writing root kits, but managers and companies shouldn't be asking them to. Being ordered to isn't an excuse, but that's no excuse for ordering it either.

You hate those labels but you are ready to provide your own? Good going.
CmdrTaco doesn't own the site anymore. He's only paid to operate it.
It's da bomb.
In some areas, that's illegal.

Tailor-made slashvertising... Nice.
It's a DUPE too! We had this story before.

And as for VNC and friends, well, if they didn't change that code they don't need to give you the source either.
The initial question asserts that SSH and VNC had been modified. Whether that's true is really unknown.
I would expect that it would just cover one of the arcs. I think the Macross Saga is about 36 episodes, and quite a bit of it was filler anyways.
I really don't have any hopes, but it should be possible if they tried or cared. That's the problem, they really can't care.

Have you really had a pet? My parents had dogs that manage to squeeze out of their collars on occasion.

I usually figure that Web 2.0 is basically AJAX or similar webapp-like technology when it actually means something other than an empty buzzword.
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense.

I think you basically summarized the column.
