Most CAPTCHAs are hacked because their implementation is amatuerish. They are hacked by resusing session ids or dictionary attacks and nothing to do with actual image itself. Long story short CAPTCHAs reduce the amount of spam by more than 50% simply because it's not worth the effort for a spambot to break it, after all they have the entire internet to spam.
Some are good some are bad and most are downright horrible, but you wouldn't want your favorite forum to be trolled by spambots would ya? Might as well live with it. Nothing works 100% you should know that by now
Like everything else cut back slowly. Instead of 8 go 6 for a week, and then push lower and lower, eventually you'll be down to 1-2 cups and home free. I went from drinking all kinds of pop(coke,pepsi) by downgrading to mineral water (yes it sucks) and then abandoning that for actual water. glad I got of that stuff.
The idea that every program needs to support threading is kinda stupid. Most programs barely use any computational power, in fact there are very few programs that require all that computing power to operation and those are certainly well designed.
After 5 years I've logged in again to/. to post a reply >.
Anyway I wanted to say that there's nothing impossible in religion. Those who are religious tend to hang on longer because they believe a higher power is at work and can solve impossible things. It has nothing to do with being afraid of death, rather being hopeful that their terminal ailment CAN indeed be cured.
Meanwhile the non religious would normally just give up and die.. because some guy said so.
exactly what the OP should do. Your job is a yes/no. Nothing more, as an applicant that's all I want to know too, whether you find me suitable or not. You're not god (and probably not smarter than me), it's all about whether you think I can help your company or not. If yes great, if no well too bad. yes or no. nothing more.
just because you see it in airshows doesn't mean it's only useful for airshows. The cobra as a defensive maneuver is questionable at best but it's also an offensive maneuver.
The "snap" ability comes in handy when chasing down an aircraft just out of the IR cone. With the cobra a russian pilot can put his nose on an off angle target long enough to acquire a lock but not to fire!. The real usefulness comes from the russian IR missile that can achieve a firing solution outside the IR cone. In otherwords, you perform the cobra for a brief second to get the lock as the nose rolls back into position fire the IR missile off angle. wham, bang, thank you maam.
from my point of view, they didn't want pluto to be classified a planet so they created a definition which excluded pluto. I mean I can create a defintion of human that excludes certain races, it doesn't make me any less wrong.
A couple of years ago (when I was a bum and had no money) I had one of these VLK thingies installed. Fast forward to 2-3 years later, good job, new car, laptop (with geniune windows) and all that jazz, my old installation still exists on one of my computers. I can download updates but fail the wga authentication, from what I've seen it works like it should.
yea yea I should probably go buy a real windows xp but I already have a real one on my laptop and vista is around the corner so I'll just wait for that. The OPs logic is a bit weird tho. Just because your key hasn't been banned does not mean WGA does not work.
I just started raiding too and I have to admit it's stressful and sort of pointless when you think about it. I play a priest so when there's a wipe you hear the usual "PRIESTS SHOULD KEEP TANK UP!" or "STOP LETTING OUR ROGUES DIE" or "WE HAVE ENOUGH HEALING, WHY ARE WE WIPING" and so on. The only reason people keep doing this is for gear, sad when you think about it.
too complicated. There are technical limitations to this, if you have "generated" missions, they'll start becoming very generic and boring. The alternative is haveing everyone doing the same mission. One moment marshal windor is in some jail somewhere asking me to free him, few hours later I'm trying to queue for bg and he walks in and threatens onyx. Of course I go back and he's still in jail, anyways it's just a game. One of the things that bothers me with wow is they're are too many generic, who gives a damn quests. They have absoletely no point other than doing them for experience. A few good ones like stalvan, missing diplomat, scarlet mon, onyx (I find stormwind quests are pretty interesting to do) but everything else is just blah.
I'm sorry but you're dumb. There is nothing wrong with monopolies, goverments creates artificial monopolies all the time. Being a "monopoly" (the word) is not an issue. What's bad is doing bad thing while having a monopoly. Look at it this way, cops carry guns it does not mean automatically carrying a gun makes you a bad person. It's what you do with that gun.
yea but once you have access to the source, they can come after you for copying their implementation. As a developer I find this push to release the windows source sort of strange. We need proper documentation not source code, if something is broken we can point to the manual and have it corrected, instead of following the broken implementation in the source only to find it "fixed" in another version of the os and breaking compatibility.
have you ever tried to run an old program on a new os? they run so fast, sometimes they need mods to slow them down! You sound like an intelligent person but how can you not deduce that as speeds improve and oses complexity increases so do applications? I mean I wouldn't want to play nfl99 on my 7800gtx just because it will give me 1000fps. The market has proven people upgrade for features before speed (and I think MS knows this). Firefox isn't getting all the hype because it is faster (opera was faster than any browser out there along time ago), it is because IE has become crusty and firefox has all the new bells and whistles.
I really don't get why people think they need to stick up for some software or product. I use IE, and firefox and opera, I'm not a fanboi of either and I feel the need to defend some company's software if someone does not like it. If you don't like the xbox don't buy it, I bet you probably don't even have one anyways. Don't worry I don't have one either, but the reason I don't is because it costs 500$.. and I don't have a TV..

brilliant idea. Lets take a fairly easy to grasp language and turn in into japanese for people who can't spell.

so you're implicitly saying you'll fire the lawyer who does not believe in what you hired him to do.

I don't understand why people get so hot and humid over this. Either way.. who cares.

does anyone use wmf files?
if the os doesn't exist what's the browser going to run on? air? something ppl just make comments without thinking them through.. like yours.
even the IRS writes off debts it can't recover too. So he simply stiffs the IRS until they write it off
the sad part is someone who doesn't know what a kernel is being modded as "insightful"

I'm more worried about what the pirate are gonna do after they abolish piracy :)
because the os you pick will have no exploits ever
