I don't believe those are legal (at least I doubt they've gotten permission from CC). When you view the eps, there's a little "Add Link" option:
Help us to keep the episodes online by adding a link!
If you found this South Park episode somewhere on the internet (for example: megavideo.com, myspacetv.com etc.) you can submit the link/url of that video to us. The submitted links/url will be checked by us before adding them to the database.
Seems to me they are just aggregating links from around the net, just like many other non-sanctioned TV show site (like familyguyx.net, as an example).
The South Park STUDIO vids are often higher quality, as far as I've seen. The drawback over South Park ZONE is that you have to view 3 (short) advertisements, and I couldn't get mine to go completely full screen (which I like).
i cannot understand why ANYBODY would want to vote for... war, torture, xenophobia, racism, corruption and financial mismanagement full of the same corrupt actors as the Nixon era but worse
I'm not. The U.S. public has great fear, which accounts for the first several characteristics you mentioned. The public also loves to buy things that it cannot afford. As far as corruption, it usually comes down to voting for one corrupt party versus another, and a large portion of the population will do whatever their pastor tells them to do.
I like your analogy and your idea. I would pay $5/mo to be rid of the legal threat, but I don't think my parents should have to pay it (no, I don't live with them, thank you - we each have our own houses and subscriptions).
Although, it does sound a little like paying off the mafia for "protection", against things like your store mysteriously burning to the ground or your customers hastled randomly.
If I shut the computer down it does the right thing (save the tabs), but when I hit X I lose them all and it restarts at my homepage.
Ok, this is a lousy workaround, but for Windows, I've found if you end the firefox task in Task Manager, it saves your tabs for the next time you open.;)
I'll admit I'm a freak, but I've had FF instances open for *weeks*. Often times, it's due to me finding something interesting/useful (usually code) that I want to research/play with, but I don't want to do it right now. So I leave the instance open until I feel like addressing it.
I find that if I bookmark it, it disappears into the oblivion that is my endless bookmark list, so I prefer to leave the instance open (forcing me to remember to deal with it).
I'd hope/. keeps its v4's at least until my college switches to v6.
Pfft, companies will keep v4 as long as we kept gopher around, even when nobody on the planet effectively uses it. I wouldn't worry, unless you're on the 100-year plan.
No credit card information was stolen. Website owners seldom [read: never] have access to this data, it's kept by the credit card processors
Huh?? Unless I'm passing off the user to a third-party page to enter credit card information, what's to stop me from saving the CC info for my own convenience? Lots of companies (majority?) have you enter CC information on their own pages. I would expect a porn web site to be even more careless with such information.
I think the first half of his comment is valid. What IS the point of banning incandescents?
I use CFLs in a majority of my house, but they certainly aren't perfect everywhere. Dimmers, motion lights, remotely-controlled fans (of which we have several). No love there. And don't tell me "but bulbs are available for these situations!" They are rare and extremely expensive... And greenish looking...
You can't walk into Home Depot and buy one of these.
The really smart way to react would have been: "This is a issue with Linux taking longer then expected by us to identify itself as USB 2 compatible upon the hard drive leaving standby mode. We will publish a modifed firmware with a longer timeout; until then Linux users can use the entirely unsupported workarounds detailed on our website."
Or: "This is a issue with Linux taking longer then expected by us to identify itself as USB 2 compatible upon the hard drive leaving standby mode. Unfortunately, the timeout is hardcoded in the drive's USB interface and cannot be changed; Linux users are advised to use the entirely unsupported workarounds detailed on our website or choose a different product."
Insightful? This should be modded Funny!
At least he/she used "would have" instead of "would of".

I'm getting the cramped comments here with FFb5 also.
I WAS that kid, you insensitive clod!

Does your Canonical keyboard have the 'f' and 'r' keys transposed?
Karma.
They prolly ran out of things to spend investor money on, so this sounded cool.
Didn't you hear? MS is changing the API in Vista SP1 to "improve the user experience." :P
Well, I guess it's clear you're voting republican.

Do you get paid for the work you do? Do you think medical professionals should not?

Well, my employer has that one perfected. It's good to know that they care.

Hah! I clicked the link. http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html "All this for just $5.95/month! (paid 10 years in advance)"
Anyone who pays for web hosting 10 years in advance deserves what they get.
On that note, I'm off to sign a 25 year adjustable-rate loan for my shiny new Chevy HHR...
A door would be nice for a start. If that isn't possible, I'd settle for a screen door on my cubicle ala Kramer.
Buy.com, Amazon.com, Paypal.com, netflix.com, your-favorite-shady-webhost.com, walmart.com...

You've gotta have something to beat when you're done delivering some knuckle children.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Heh, only on Slashdot would this be considered an "easy workaround". :)
Thanks for the tip, though!

I remember NetGear was also guilty of this for DDoS'ing the University of Wisconsin.
