In legal cases involving copyright/trademark infringement, it's generally understood that a company can't credibly raise a fuss over one case of infringement if they've knowingly overlooked it repeatedly in the past.
No, it is not "generally understood" it is just plain WRONG
When you have a TRADEMARK then you must enforce it consistently. when you have a COPYRIGHT, you can go after whoever you want, whenever you want. Regardless of anything else.
I managed to get apache to play a sound whever someone hits my website, I wrote a little program called Cliplay that plays a.wav speced in the command line, then used apache's exec SHTML command. The only problem is that the page stops loading untill the wave has finished playing, so you need to use something pretty short.
. I would like to see Malaysia left alone to focus its resources as it sees fit, on the poor and needy.
Um, how exactly do you expect it to 'focus' resources without trying to develop them first. If Malaysia can develop an information economy, they would have a lot more money to throw at social problems.
Seriously, while I think pr0n filtering is a good thing in a search engine (since pr0n types seem intent on spamming them), it should be disableable.
Also, you're engine seems to do nothing but find links to bussnesses, and nothing more. a search for "Perl" turned up one link for swimming instruction, and about 99 links for web design companies. looking for "COM ATL" (a microsoft technology) came up with 6 hits, all of them companies (web design companies actualy, witch is strance beacuse ATL is only tangentaly related to the web).
It seems pretty worthless for anything I'd do, I'm not in the market for a web design company, and I haven't been able to find anything but that...
Well, all of these devices are all really just computers. Adding things like MP3 players, web browsers, or any other software application is pretty much free (other then memory space, and ROM is always cheap).
The reality is, not putting those things in is more like actively removing them then anything else.
This guy collected up through the dreamcast. So obviously hes not just bored with games or anything. He must be in some kind of financial trouble to sell all this stuff (I'd be willing to bet it cost a lot more then $16k to get origionaly).
I can't imagne any one would just sell all this crap on a whim... strange
The g4 have been stuck at 450 and 500Mhz for months, while x86 has hit 1.7ghz. Beacuse of the red-hot compition between AMD and Intel, the PowerPC arch has just been left in the dust. I havn't seen any benchmarks comparing a 1.2ghz athlon to a g4, doing video, content creation. But I *seriously* doubt the g4 would be able to beat the athlon...
Um, IRQ's are not related to a the CPU arcitecture, but rather to the origional design of the IBM board on the XT. Everything in a "PC" excpects things that way, so trying to change it would break every card that wants to use an IRQ.
A very long time. Its also their policy that you don't actualy own you're domain. And it was their policy to cancle domain names at the drop of an email.
Why anyone would ever want to use NSI is beyond me...
Both Internet Exsplorer and Mozilla suppor the gopher protocol, so compatablity isn't a problem. Almost everyone who surfs the web already has a gopher client:P
Seriously, all you really need is to be able to open a secure connection (SSH, https, is there a secure SMTP?) to some server, and use that to send SMTP signals (or whatever). Why go for simple hacks, when you can have pure, perfict, unbreakable security?
While you are an extremely intelligent, gregarious individual with varied interests and a penchant for dialogue
I'm also a person who understands the power in a succinct statement. People don't have a right not to have their 'feelings hurt' in the real world. They do have a right to say just about whatever they want. And for a very good reason, you might want to read Fahrenheit 451 some day. Once we start arbitrarily deciding what is people are allowed to say based on the political content, anything is possible. And I hope you're not going to say that the a government would be capable of making sure the power was only used for 'good'.
If we stopped racist literature now, why couldn't we also block Communist tracts? Or perhaps harbingers of the religion of Islam?
When you teach evolution in schools, are you violating the rights of fundamentalist christens? Are you hurting their feelings?
When you teach the history of world war II, are you violating the rights of holocaust deniers? Are you hurting their feelings?
You may not be an actually be an idiot, but, provided you actually believe what you're saying, you certainly lack some pretty basic critical thinking skills (like generalization, for instance).
I knew some french foren exchange students last year, and they all used Yahoo IM. Yahoo has a pretty big presense in FR, and if the FR government tried to punish them, they could cause a lot of problems...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that brain transplants have been done on monkys and other animals, but that they were quadraplegic(sp?) afterwards. While it hasn't been done on humans for obvious reasons, I don't think its imposible.
Perl isn't really designed to stop this sort of abuse/artform/whatever. So Obfuscated perl contests don't really hold that much interest to me. While I'm sure writing this stuff isn't easy, it dosn't really seam super dificult within the confines of the language.
Obfuscated C however, is a bit more difficult, and the results are therefore more appealing to me.
C of course, is prone to abuses to (#define...), what I'd really, really like to see is an obfuscated java contest. Its harder to mess with java then it is with those other languages, I wonder what ingenious hackers would be able to think up there...
Um... if you actualy read his artical, he never even got a chance to get his company off the ground, since VCs lost intrest in funding.com's. Who knows if his idea would have worked or not?
Mozilla is a bit of a resource hog in it's own right, due to the more modern archetecture, not beacuse of the adds and bloat that AOL added. Its much more fundemental

TRADEMARKS and COPYRIGHTS are different things!
They get the funding from the $2000 a year you have to pay to use it... At least that's their plan.
And if they do fail, the student could just enroll in the local elementary school the next semester

It amazes me that people fail to realize this...

Actualy, Mr Glass had several computers in the back room of his comic shop. There were 3 or 4 of the new g4 power macs.

degrees is a mesure of temprature, not heat. Very diffrent things, actualy

beacuse 450 Mhz is so much faster then 1.2ghz...

Oh, and congratulations on using Dictonary.com's word of the day for august 2nd 1999. Although I don't think you actually knew what it meant...

I'm all for banning hate speech, in the interest of the constitutional rights of minorities and sensibly minded denizens
Then you are a complete idiot.
heart reached the point where it will never start again?
um... they don't seem to have this problem with heart transplants...

Mozilla has a built in HTML editor, I belive.
