If your console is dead, why would you still need the controller?
What do you mean, you're going to buy a new one? People are really stupid enough to buy a product with a failure rate this high? And to buy it repeatedly no matter how many times it fails?
Oh, and as long as you're in Personal Options, listen for the "Expert Mode" option and enable that. Should shave a few seconds of your voicemail checking.

Have you installed Chrome? You check a box and click a button in Firefox, and it launches another program to install Chrome, which asks for no confirmation or installation location.
I'm not used to my browser launching applications without downloading it and it asking me if it should be run first.
Rule #1: Users are stupid. They don't know WTF they're doing and when software ends up on the computer that offers to be their default browser and all of a sudden, their menus are gone from the top of "the Internet", they ask for help, and someone has to show them what they did so they don't do it again or configure the computer/domain so that it can't happen again.
Once all the bugs are worked out in this, the next cool thing would be a nifty ajaxish front page so that nobody ever has to hit "Refresh" anymore. Someone should code up some sort of ajax front page that gets the new stories as they're published. It would be cool if it also had the ability to expand the headline view into stories or collapse some stories that the user doesn't find interesting.
TFA seems to be saying that there is a smaller *percentage* of people working on Windows as compared to other things:
"Just 64.8 percent targeted the platform as opposed to 74 percent in 2006."
That does *not* automatically mean that the number has declined. There may still be the same number of or more Windows developers, but their percentage is smaller because the other categories have increased.
I hate misleading article titles. The numbers should be thought of as multiple line graphs, not a pie chart.
If this is taking place on a public street, then the wiretapping laws don't apply, just like the people's rights don't apply to "illegal search and seizure" when you're growing marijuana in your front yard in plain sight.
If I remember correctly, if you don't protect your trademark and prevent people from using your name as a generic term (Kleenex, Google, Band-Aid), you lose your rights to it as a trademark. It becomes the general term instead and is no longer protected. (That's the short version. I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that since laws are so specific.)
Is this also the case with patents? If they don't sue, do they lose the rights to them?
I wish someone would fix that issue in VNC so that it required more than eight characters. That seems especially bad and worth fixing, but nobody has done it yet.
Please, if the slashdot community is going to complain about how stupid password limits are, can someone fix the open source projects that have the same issue so that we can't point and laugh at that too?
Some people need their hand held while they're walked across the street...
Searching for a domain name is like asking for a map to your next door neighbor's house. You already know where it is. You shouldn't need a map. Just go directly to the address. You're making too much work for yourself.
Don't blame religion. Blame people. People do this stuff. They may do it in the name of religion or in the name of their own greed, but it's still the people who are doing it.

So then change your password daily.
Or, you know, since it's OpenID and you have complete control over the server, have it set up in such a way that only your IP address can see the password in plain text when you want to log in.
Here's how it works: You go to a site that uses OpenID. You enter the address of your site to authenticate. You are then redirected to your own website to authenticate (unless you're already logged in.) At this point, the server you set up should ask you if you really want to trust this other site with your identity. You can trust it once and post your new comment, or trust it always if you plan on posting frequently and have that info saved on your server somewhere. Or you can change your mind and not trust it at all.
If you want to implement a password system that nobody can ever figure out, then have it automatically generated and maybe sent to you via email every day in some encrypted format that only you can figure out.
Authentication is handled by the server, not by the site you're posing on.
You type in a website address and you're sent there to authenticate. You don't type a username and password. You type your blog/livejournal/whatever-OpenID-server-you-have URL.

The username and password is not entered on that site. It's entered on your own personal site.
I've got a Wordpress blog for which I found an OpenID plugin. I can go to Livejournal and give it my blog address. It then sends me to my site which asks me "Do you want to trust this site with your identity?" You can trust it once, trust it always, or not at all.

This program installs itself to %userprofile% instead of %programfiles%
lUsers without admin privileges can install this, introducing unwanted software to your network and creating security issues.
I believe Google must fix this, but I don't think they will unless people start demanding it.
Any suggestions as to where we can do that where they might actually listen?

Bad/wrong analogy then?
I'm asking if that's right or not.

I always knew that black holes were portals.

My archiving application of choice, Tugzip is also affected by this update and the mentioned fix took care of the problem.
I wouldn't suggest it so frequently if it didn't fix the problem.

Anti-Norton. =)
That's great. =)
It's not likely that they'll lock these out since this workaround actually came from Microsoft in the first place.
Though I imagine it's also not impossible for them to do something to discourage people from this...
