If you already know what the correct result is, why the hell are you having the client programs compute it? If you don't know what the correct result is, how are you going to ensure that people return the correct result?
If you post an article about a subject, but don't actually read it, quantum mechanics states that the article will be a superposition of all possible articles about the subject. Hmm, maybe I can use that to sue someone for libel. I should patent that, "A Method for Gaining Money Through the Application of Quantum Mechanics to Internet Journalism and Civil Law". I should work for amazon.com.
That wouldn't work. By letting you download their own copyrighted material, they have authorized you to use it.
Also, the question of who is actually making the copy, the downloader or the downloadee has yet to be decided in court. If it goes to the downloadee, then no sort of baiting tricks will work legally, as they would be the ones doing the copying, not you.
So you trade wading through ads, passwords, and ratios for wading through crap files, porn, and the complete lack of community. To each his own, I guess. I for one vastly prefer the old way of ftps, dccs, and hotline.
Actually, they aren't. Citizens who have been convicted of a felony are in an entirely separate class from citizens who have not. They have a different set of rights and duties.
Criminals are still citizens. There is pretty much nothing short of committing treason that can take your citizenship away from you invoulintarily.
It just so happens that voting isn't a right that is reserved for every citizen. The federal government has only restrict the right of a state to deny a citizen the right to vote in certain areas. Those areas are religion, race, gender, and age (as long as you are over 18).
Suspected former criminals were systematically exempted from voting in Florida. That's right, suspected former criminals. Not only is this illegal as people who have served their debt to society are elligable to vote, people who are merely suspected of being convicted of crime, and most certainly weren't, are definately allowed to vote.
Umm, in most states, convicted felons lose the right to vote permanently. Besides, there's nothing preventing state legislatures from passing laws restricting the rights of criminals to vote.
Oh hey! I didn't notice that. Its still not as fine-grained as iCab was (no specifying pixel sizes - I like to block 1x1 images as well as ads, or blocking based on the path of the image instead of the server), but it'll do.
Tabbed browsing is a horrible idea anyway. It harkens to the Windows UI idea of having document windows within the program window. Each window is supposed to be a single document. Each page open in a separate window is a much better UI paradigm.
The one thing I missed when I switched from iCab to OmniWeb was the fine-grained control over picture loading, although I believe they took that out of iCab in the more recent versions. You could block based on image pixel size, if the image server or path matched a wildcard expression (e.g. block all images that come from ads.* servers, or that have/ads/ in their path), or whether or not the image came from the same server as the page did.
I have never seen/heard of it happening, but make sure you take time in building a spud gun using quality materials because blowing up a PVC pipe in your hands could cause death/serious injury.
This is why you use an aimable stand with an electronic ignition and a 50 foot wire to the button.
They aren't banned by federal law. Fireworks regulations is a state law arena. I think all states have banned them though. Fortunately, fireworks dealers on indian reservations don't have to follow state fireworks regulations. So you can *occasionally* find real M-80s and M-1000s at dealers on the res.
Hmm, I wonder if you could combine the two concepts. Take a match head/tennis ball bomb and use it as the projectile in a potato gun. Would the compression of launch ignite the bomb in the barrel, or would it explode later? Someone who has a potato gun they don't mind destroying and a 100 foot ignition wire should try this.
Why would the farmers who own the fields want to release photos of the creators? Then they couldn't make up all the money lost in destroyed crops through tourism. You should look at the photos in the story, one of them shows a $2 entry fee sign.
hen, correctly notes that 1280x720 and 1920x1080 are supported, but the phrasing seems to suggest that it is being scaled to PAL or NTSC, which is wrong.
I'm sure it is being scaled - if you are using the composite outputs, which I'm sure they were while testing it. A regular TV is a hell of a lot easier to set up for testing than a big ass widescreen TV.
If you have a DVD Burner, you could put the DivXs on a DVD and have a full season of 30 minute TV episodes all on one disc and still have great quality.

Oh damn, I love all three of those, I'm screwed.
It was the top story for several days in WA, although thats just because thats where the girl was from.

What caused it was the fact that VPC used RAVE for all its 3D acceleration on the Mac side, and RAVE doesn't exist in OS X.
Sorry, but being able to take the server beats out any simple access concern that you might have.
Thats what buffer overflows in superuser level programs are for.
You don't need write support. All you need is read access to get the SAM and run it through L0phtCrack.

Yeah, he won the Supreme Court Popularity Contest 5-4.

No, thats the M-1000. M-80s are much smaller.

Yeah, but they have all those lucky charms everyone is trying to steal :D
No. No one wants to hear about crop circles being faked. Crop circles being real is much more exciting.

There is no such thing as MPEG-3.
