The question is: Would you be comfortable with having a person who has been convicted of raping five small girls - who has served his sentence - living next door to you and your 8 year old daughter? If you are, I pity you and your family.
Sounds nifty with an in-game browser. Almost all non-fps games I play, I play in windowed mode, so I can read mail and browse while playing. But ok, this is for advertising in-game, I would guess. There are probably also usefull things you can do with it in the game.
But many of us still need to get a first life, before we can move on to a second one;P
I thought that it was called M-Theory now? (Simplified here). As some of you know, there are fivesuperstring theories - M-theory was supposed to "unite" these theories, so to speak. The difference between these superstring theories, is in how the implement supersymmetry, so I guess that this experiment, would somehow point us to which of the five theories are...most correct? I am in way over my head here, but perhaps someone is more knowledgable here;)
I submitted this article - although a bit too late I guess:) Anyway, it says there that "Microsoft plans to license, royalty-free, its Virtual Hard Disk (.vhd) file format" - That should be interesting! I wonder how open it will be!
Do you know if that works? Looks interesting - If I'm not woken during a light sleep-phase I am completely wasted myself, it would be nice to have something to help;)
Well, I don't know about you. I think BitTorrent is very cool and has it's uses, especially amongst those who don't have multiple redundant fiber connections. But when game companies (Blizzard for example) and movie companies start to distribute their wares by way of BitTorrent, that makes me wonder.
Now I myself don't pay by volume, but I do know some who do! Are we supposed to pay for their wares, and then we get to download, sometimes slowly because BitTorrent downgrades users that don't share because of closed ports/firewalls etc.
We pay them, but we have to distribute it for them?!
Big companies, who probably have big a** internet connections themselves, should make their wares available for direct download by standard HTTP and/or FTP...
My old sysadmin, where I worked back in '92, had a LARGE electro magnet in a seperate room. Whenever a harddrive was to be discarded, he went in there, turned the magnet on, and passed it through the hole a few times. There was n-o-t-h-i-n-g on it afterwards. You can acquire one such magnet cheap. He took it out of some other equipment;P
Techreport's test is from feburary 20th, and shows somewhat the same - AMD64 is king of gaming, and doing one thing at a time - Intel is good at encoding etc, and thanks to HT, doing more than one thing at a time - I would prefer AMD for now (I got a Prescott 550 3.4GHz - I wish I had an AMD). Ain't it great with competition?!:D
On my Windows install, it installed in half the time 1.1.4 did, didn't say anything about java (which it usually does), the splash it better looking.
I have two issues with this version in my short test, one was that they removed the program shortcuts from the "Quick Starter" in the tray?! Why on earth would they do that? Now the only thing you can do with the quick start is decide if it should load at windows start, and exit it.
The second thing is that I chose File - Wizards - Install new dictionaries - Chose the language I wanted to install, and then nothing happens when you press the "Start DocOOo"-button, so no automated installation of dictionaries I guess.
The year after, when I started studying CS at the university of Copenhagen, the net was already awash with porn (ok, slightly exaggerated, but it was there and easy to find)... Not very good quality, resolution-wise, but we got the general idea;)
It will soon be our turn! You know, it's because of the new inter-galactic highway they're building! It will be Earth's turn soon, so get your towels out!;-)
I agree with you. I doubt that 99% of people can tell the difference between the original and the "deteriorated" copy - But I guess it's a "purist" view;)
It's not actually been cracked - They can't make real digital 1:1 copies of the songs - What they do is record from the sound card. That's not so bad if you just want to burn them to CD, but if you want to re-encode from WAV to Ogg or MP3, the quality will deteriorate further... You can do this will *all* DRM media, nothing new here - It's only because it's Napster (woohoooo) that people think it's revolutionary. It isn't.
Yes well, that doesn't help Joe Sixpack who reads "CLICK YES TO CONTINUE" and does it. The typical person, who chooses to trust og distrust the VeriSign CA would obviously not fall for this.

Please explain, Mr. Repeat Sexual Offender: How does correlating two databases make you a vigilante?

WGA is really an acronym for Windows Genuine Annoyance, but Microsoft opted for "Advantage" since it sounded better marketing-wise. :D

The Linksys does VPN :) Sveasoft has a VPN server in it. OpenWRT uses OpenVPN.
(Here is a list of some firmwares)
That's for kids! I glued my 9mm glock to my logitech mouse! People get a lot more scared than with that girly toy gun!
Everyone should just buy a hummer.

Yeah!! 640 KB oughta be enough for everyone!!
Nuff said.
Actually I meant FSF, but EFF is just as good ;)
An organisation such as the EFF or the like, should have such a key escrow service ;)

Which is why the site you link to, use WordPress, a PHP weblog application. And it doesn't even work, I get a "can't connect to the database" error ;)

I just tried it and guess what, I got a different result! Astounding! :P
There you go. Microsoft doesn't feel threatened by Firefox, now we know why ;)
It was women.
