If the truth is that there is no "box" holding back our ideas, then what's holding back the idea that there is a box holding back our ideas? Godel's proof really fucks things
Do you know how bad it is for the environment to dispose of the batteries in your hybrid car? Do you know how much extra energy it took to make your hybrid car than a normal car? That energy can be translated to environmental costs. I don't know which is worse, but looking at it solely on mileage is not the only answer, in fact, total cost of ownership gives you a pretty good idea and right now the TOC is higher for hybrid cars than a similar sized car.
if I sign an agreement with AAA that AAA itself will not sue me as a result of any car accident that doesn't mean a member of AAA can't sue me if I total his car.
This truely is a good thing, it sets precedent for things like Tivo commercial skipping and pop up blockers. Many people's gut reaction is that it is a loss; this comes simply because most people hate spyware. If this were a case against a spyware company being deceptive in its installation practices, those people would have a point, but this is not the consumers vs. the spyware people, this is a company who is mad that their ads are being replaced. They of course argue that the people don't know that they have the programs installed, but it should still be treated as a seperate case.
Notice the first cracked copies of windows XP were corporate editions; they had no activation features in the first place. So obviously even microsoft saw the hassles this would cause in IT departments, and mainly did activation as a means of keeping home users from installing multiple copies from one CD.
I haven't seen you since highschool, someone gave my your email address, does that mean if I contact you, because its "unrequested content" I am spamming you? No.
Why is this modded funny? On almost every slashdot story I always hear of someone who shot milk through somewhere as the result of some joke. Who the hell drinks milk anymore?
I would still like to see it modded down. Why? Cause its a stupid fucking comment, it adds nothing to the subject its just saying "I agree" or "I disagree" and nothing more, no reasons or explanation. I can understand modding it funny cause its so blunt and obviously trying to get people to respond with great effort where the poster took no effort; it trys to get people to argue with a post containing no argument. But, if you would suggest it be modded insightful, you are a fucktard and we don't need you and your faux Orwellian view of the slashdot moderation system; try browsing at -1 and then report back.
You pick a door. You have a 2 in 3 chance of getting a loser. A bad door is removed, since 2 out of 3 times you have a loser, 2 out of 3 times a switch gives you a winning door. 1 out of 3 times a switch will result in a lose. The key is monty knows which doors are empty and after your initial choice if you were correct he will never open your door, but you only had a 1/3 chance of being correct, so 2/3 of the times he will provide a situation where switching is better.
He's not talking about changing the resolution, he's talking about changing the DPI. Therefore, small / large fonts are not the only way to compensate, they are a shortcut to compensating.
No shit, forwarding ports is a completly different issue. If the port is forwarded, its no longer behind a nat as that port loses any nat like features it may have had. You can forward port 80 to one computer behind your nat but that doesn't mean that every computer on your nat can run a webserver on port 80. If you have the port forwarded, that port acts almost just like you aren't using a nat at all; but its only for ONE computer, nat is designed to share between many computers.
I'm not saying you can't download files. I'm saying you can't download from a nated machine if your machine is behind a nat.
" True, however sharing from a NAT connection to another NAT is problematic since there is no way for one of the parties to address the other (as is required for a peer to peer connection). If only one of the parties is NATed, it can still initiate connections with a regular connection (this is how Kazaa and gnutella clients allow uploading for clients behind a firewall). However nobody can initiate a connection with the NATed box because it doesn't have an address. Thus if the majority of users is behind NAT, that would effectively kill p2p networks because it would be hard to establish a connection between the majority of nodes in the network.
However, broadband providers have an interest in p2p since it is a major reason for their clients to have broadband in the first place. A cheap modem connection will handle mail and instant messaging pretty effectively. Only when you start downloading mp3/movies/... you need the bandwidth they offer. Healthy p2p networks create a demand for broadband.
My hope is that as ipv4 addresses get scarcer, adoption of ipv6 will finally happen. This would largely remove the need for NAT."

theif implies you steal something. copying something is not stealing something. it may be wrong but it is not stealing, find a better word.
Your "poor grammer alert" calls attention to its own poor grammar.

but, whether its the US or UK, when its a civil suit it just gets transferred to the parents.

Power is not exclusive to the government. Watch the godfather, it is discussed and demonstrated throughout.

How about KDE's translucent menus?

2 weeks to go across the UK?
Sounds like you are using some sort of axiom based logic there buddy, Godel's proof casts some uncertainty on your conclusions.
"Therefore, 0.9999999..... = 1."
Hmm, that doesn't stand up to Godel's proof.

I think this bot has successfully proven its point.
If his post had read:
Bad Deal
Sounds like a bad idea.

Notice the animated gif thing works just as well when you close one eye? Cheesy. Its the way people with only 1 eye judge depth.
the government still taxes felons.. felons aren't allowed to vote on the very laws that made them felons.. taxation without representation.

because more that one person uses it as the previous poster JUST SAID.
