I don't think you understand. I have NO interest in mainstream $60 DRM-locked blockbusters. There are lots of games out there which run on my PC just fine, of which many have no DRM and no proprietary licensing restrictions (and are free of charge too). With all that content out there, who needs the small percentage of it that has DRM on it?
I don't even play games, making me even better than you are. All this fuss over DRM is so silly as it doesn't affect me only you fools. You know what else? Why should we help poor and sick people whilst there are so many healthy rich people? LISTEN TO ME PEOPLE I HAVE THINGS TO SAY ON THE INTERNET! WHY DONT YOU UNDERSTAND HOW RELEVENT I AM TO THE CONVERSATION?
Ok, I know this is/. and I know we all like to explain stuff and such. But dude, you don't tell a dad that his girl is gonna have sex one day. You just don't:(
Burying your head in the sand out of fear is the fast track to a teen pregnancy, knock yourself out if you'd rather have a conversation about child rearing than one about condoms when she hits 13!
SMTP - home users should only be able to connect to port 25 on their ISPs mail server.
I don't really understand why egress filtering like this isn't being done as a routine course of business these days.
Er, what if I want to send an email through my work mail server, or one provided by someone that isnt my ISP? You two have just locked me out of securely authenticating to any other mail servers...
Exactly. Completely FUD from the GP. And still moderators modded it up.. sad.
For non general Internet facing sites not supporting IE isn't that uncommon. For the web services that we resell we only support Firefox and our clients are happy with that.
The general reason for the IE 6 problem isn't home users scared to upgrade but that mega corporations have an existing outdated Intranet that works with IE6 and are slow at trumping up cash for R&D on redeveloping their sites and workstation environments.
I'm an EFF member and support their request for attorney's fees, but let's play devil's advocate. Suppose you were an indie musician who sold your songs online, and you found a number of YouTube videos that used your song without permission, so you sent a long list of DMCA takedown notices to YouTube. Included in that list was one video that used only a brief portion of your song, short enough to count as fair use. Is $400,000 a fair punishment for accidentally including one video in your list that wasn't a bona fide copyright infringement?
It's not punishment, it's attorney fees. If you make a mistake that costs someone else $400,000 to sort out, then you have to pay for it!
An Indie artist would not have wasted $400,000 in fees before they rectified their mistake, in fact they would have actually rectified their mistake, rather than take it all the way to the judge!
In other words: of the 256 major networks in IPv4, only 24 network blocks remain unallocated in the global free pool
I thought there were only 126 Class A networks, 1.0.0.0/8 - 126.0.0.0/8, and as there are 16,384 Class B networks, where does this 256 major networks come from?
The women in the study, who were all pairs of identical and non-identical twins, were asked whether they had a G-spot. If one did exist, it would be expected that both identical twins, who have the same genes, would report having one.
Fantastic methodology there! We won't actually study the person, we'll just ask them! What an awesome popularity contest.

Irregardless, I think you're way better off with this approach vice trying to find the magical widely supported cross platform file system with large file capacity.
The first track that played was a System of a Down tune. Which is about as pop as it gets. The ones after didn't get much better. If they really want to use this to push less played songs which have potential, they should actually better get some.
Although it is funny to watch all the iPhone users I work with scrabble about sharing one cable at work between them whilst we drown in a sea of standard USB cabling!
Tech savvy IT security enthusiasts prefer alternative browsers to Internet Explorer? Criminals prefer Firefox? Firefox users have criminal tendancies? Firefox encourages exploitation of inferior browsers?
Really? That's extremely strange considering that the operating system and browser which I am using to type this message are running off of a 16GB OCZ Rally2 which I am holding in my hand.

When I finished my BSc and MSc we were given application forms and things to join the BCS but I didn't see the point. What benefits does it have?

In the UK, Job Seekers Allowance (which is the equivalent) is currently £64.30 per week. I think I see what is wrong with the US benefit system! ;)

I can't wait for a reduction in our TV licenses, due to all this money the BBC will now be saving!

Does that make ReactOS the Vista of the open source world?!!!
Has this ever actually worked, ever?
What's the current state on ID cards? Oh wait ..
maybe they can force sighted students to wear blindfolds in class in future so that the blind have equal footing
hi baby, how you doin'?

What does this article even mean?
Tech savvy IT security enthusiasts prefer alternative browsers to Internet Explorer?
Criminals prefer Firefox?
Firefox users have criminal tendancies?
Firefox encourages exploitation of inferior browsers?
Or, Internet Explorer sucks.
What.
