Of course it's fair, with the proviso that the restrictions are made clear before sign-up. Vote with your feet, and all that.
There are only two broadband pipes going into my house: coax and twisted pair ; cable and dsl. My feet and wallet don't have much of a choice in the matter.
the idea that ODF is of any importance at all to guys like Delay and Abramoff is really silly.
Not at all.
ODF is important to MicroSoft. MicroSoft has lots of money. Money is important to Delay and Abramoff. Therefore, ODF may be important to Delay and Abramoff.
It is not necessarily so. But is not silly, either.
the hardware manufacturers are responding to a perceived customer requirement.
I don't believe that for a second. They are responding to arm-twisting by Microsoft and Adobe (,etc.) and working *against* customer interests. Consumers have no interest in DRM at all. The question on manufactures' minds is how much DRM they can shove down consumers' throats before they balk and stop buying. They are counting on consumers being either too ignorant or too passive or too apathetic -- until it's too late.
The findings support the argument for global warming as a result of human interference rather than natural climate change.
That's not necessarily true.
Apparently, the world was just as warm 1200 years ago as it is today, without all the civilization-induced greenhouse gases being in the atmosphere. This is evidence that something *else* is a contributing factor to climate change. What caused it to be so warm then? What caused the subsequent drop off from that relative high? How is our current environment similar and different from 800AD?
We need more non-violent games like Stacker -- a first-person vertical-crate-arranger guaranteed not to influence young people's behavior in any way. Check out the screen shots. Awesome graphics.
Call up any reporter working at any newspaper in America and ask them. Yes, it is allowed. It's a common and annoying practive. Especially when irate readers call the reporter to complain about text that was added or changed by the editor, after the story was submitted. C'est la vie, friend.
What is the format of the ping/notification request?
If the element has an href attribute and a ping attribute and the user follows the hyperlink, the user agent should take the ping attribute's value, strip leading and trailing spaces (U+0020), split the value on sequences of spaces, treat each resulting part as a URI (resolving relative URIs according to element's base URI) and then send a request to each of the resulting URIs
Windows Vista introduces an improved security model that reduces a system's vulnerability to attack while still empowering applications. In particular, it makes the new User Account Protection (UAP) the default user account, and provides an easy-to-use temporary-privilege elevation model. As a result, malware installations are reduced and more OS functionality is made safely available to non-administrators. Security is further strengthened with a trust-based validation system through Mandatory Integrity Control, and Windows Resource Protection (the follow-on to Windows File Protection) guarantees a stable, read-only view of a running operating system.

"still-as-yet-publicly-unannounced"
it's been publicly unnanounced, how the fuck do you pull that off?
I need that skill.
Once you figure it out, you could probably get a job at the White House.
Who cares if Microsoft can claim an extra 5%? Do such stats ever influence companies choosing a platform?
PHBs run companies. So, the answer is yes.

Romulan Ale is for lightweights. Real men drink Klingon Blookwine.
How do I edit or delete bookmarks I've added??
Privacy is necessary, but honestly, screw tax evaders.
I err on the other side. Screw tax collectors!

If you can't stop and are willing to break the law for your fix, I humbly suggest that you quite literally have a substance abuse problem...
breaking the law != doing something wrong.
The law is a ass. -- Charles Dickens
A woman who refuses to pick up her dog's crap after it takes a dump on the subway *deserves* to humiliated.
If a dog craps on the carpet, you rub his nose in it. If a dog craps on the subway, and the owner doesn't pick it up, you rub *her* nose in it.
Windows is to Linux as AOL is to the Internet.
Once you get enough experience, you take the training wheels off.
AOL is dying as users become more sophisticated. Windows will too. It might take longer, but it is just as inevitable.
My five year old daughter uses a Linux machine almost every day, and does not use windows.

This is why I'm waiting for Wimax to be rolled out. Once that happens, wireless car radios listening to streams over the internet becomes possible.
Just give me an ip range, and I guarantee it will follow the rules I set for it.
I don't know why this was modded as "funny." Is it a joke? No. It's probably exactly what happened.
I don't see it happening unless Sun gives up the StarOffice brand.
So it's all about marketing, then, isn't it?

A request for what? Just a simple GET request? Would it just be http://foo.com/ping_tracker.html?%5Bclicked_ur%5D

That shouldn't be a license for corporations to be shitty.
...I just want something to get me to and from work every day... ... and continue to get shit on by a shitty corporation? No thanks.
