For me it is THE precursor of Doom (even III). Back in the 90's, was a true revolution what that game started. Of course, Maze Wars is even older, but Wolfenstein had all the components in the right place, not just a 3D view.
Think in a web page with a javascript that launch any of the "dangerous" links there (i.e. scp if takes your certificates or even audiocd:), and maybe even interact with the new opened window thru javascript too.
Ok, could be added security to avoid some of this tricks, but now you are in a position of unsafe by default unless you take every possible protection measure.
And even better if your wiki have installed some way to put online editable diagrams, sometime a picture is better than 1000 words. I think exist that feature for i.e. TWiki. The wiki i use, Tikiwiki, surely supports them, and gives collaboration to the diagrams level too.
More exactly, where an alternate ending for the story was filmed. Jackson till the last moment hide the fact (er... spoiler alert?) that Hobbits in the end will succeed, so filmed also an ending where they lose/die/get burned by lava/etc.
Probably that alternate ending will be found in the upcoming LOTR 3 extended edition.
Some time ago (when terrorist attack/paranoia/etc was on rise) my explanation to people for trying to be secure when online, and try to avoid virus, open shares, being hacked, etc, or just what kind of damage could do to him an enemy, is that is not just bandwidth that could be consumed, but in their computers/servers could be put an child pornography site, a fake al-qaeda site or a credit card sharing site, something that almost ensures that will have severe legal problems.
Now, threatening with sending child porn with their email is not very serious. A lot of spam was sent with my email address (some spammers send spam with real email addresses instead of totally fake ones to try to have more luck, and being hit with that a few times), but checking mail headers normally clean a bit what really happened (why i would travel to mexico just to send spam?:).
Of course, if the mail server of this people is an open relay or is hacked, and is used to send child pornography, spam, 419 scams, Al-Qaeda advertisement or any kind of law-breaking stuff, well, there mail headers will not help a lot, and they will have a bit of responsibility on that.
for a moment I thinked that the question was related to temperatura, as in "What makes AMD Processors So Hot?", but in the article temperature issues are almost not touched (just a suggestion of checking liquid cooling, could be a hint?)
Just today saw an update of the Laffer project, which is a multiprotocol IM client, that now includes as a proof of concept instant messaging betweeen gmail users using gmail as backend.
I used it a lot when in OS/2, back in last century, and it was very powerful and clear scripting language. Used it in things like CGIs, system scripts, processing reports, parsing texts and even dbf processing.
Compared with i.e. perl (to which i moved when started with Linux) is far easier to read, for simple text parsing is far more clear and scripts are easier to maintain. But if you need to get the output of other programs with it perl wins hands down (that was the first thing that jumped into my sight) and once you get the trick with regular expressions, rexx "normal" way of parsing looks very limited.
could have a monetary value attached depending of certain criteria. i.e. for Slashcode, if is sold as Weapon of Mass Destruction (of other web sites, a.k.a. slashdotting) could worth millons!
the page list a docking station, cables, etc, but missing in the pack are the essential clip for resets and the hammer to make it start to work fairly well. Those are sold separately or the user must provide them?
About the equation 1Gb=1,000,000,000 bytes in their site, so their 20 Gb is not exactly what everyone thinks, well, probably they are not the only ones that do that equivalences.
If they like better Outlook-style mail clients, why they didnt evaluate Kontact instead? It uses kmail as its email engine, but also integrates notes, tasks, calendar, etc like Outlook and Evolution, "embedding" other KDE applications.
I'm a spanish speaker so sometimes i miss some details in english expressions, but a browser don't need to be a desktop web browser like IE/Mozilla/Opera. Something that could be interesting is a site that gives an overview of different google sites, an integrated view of their services or portal site and maybe that could be called that way.
Of course, they also could want to avoid some porn site to use that domain name to trick visitors thinking that it as a "door" to google.
Remember that the gmail catching phrase at the start was something like "a mail for your entire life". Deleting most uninteresting mail from my mailbox, fron end of june, i have 30Mb stored there. Maybe 1Gb is not enough for my life, but is a good first approach.
And of course, if you have the important mails from '95, 2004 or whatever long time extension, better you have a good way to find and organize things there. With gmail at least, you have it.
You have apt-rpm for SuSE and should be out there some repositories for this specifically, and a lot of people releases RPMs for SuSE in a way or another. And maybe more important, a lot of companies, i.e. nvidia, skype, etc releases their own binaries in rpm for suse specifically.
About mplayer, i think in 9.1 not was included or installed by default (what was good for me because I like to compile it specifically for my system, enabling as much features i can) but in previous versions it was, with certain movie formats (asf, not sure if avi) disabled on code because patent issues. About MP3, it bundles xmms and a lot of others mp3 players and they play mp3 very well, never had a problem with that format.
SuSE also gives in their FTP newer versions of certain packages, i.e. KDE 3.3 is up to date for several earlier SuSE versions, and probably Gnome 2.8 will be there too.
This helps a bit with the policy of SuSE of maintaining package versions related to security updates (if a vulnerability is found in the bundled version of certain program, instead of a new version the update is the same version with the vulnerability fixes) that helps maintaining old configurations, but sometimes you want newer versions of a lot of things. In their FTP you have in certain place newer versions of kde, gnome, and X, in other updated versions of samba, apache/php/modperl/etc, mozilla, etc, but of course, they have not the security ensured like the "stable" version (in debian lingo) with only the security updates applied.
Forwarding all your mail still needs you to have 1gb to store it in somewhere else. You will not have its search engine, its conversation mode, and even its labels (thing you can get thru imap, afaik). Gmail package is not just spam filter, 1gb capacity and so on, is all the features combined. Even the targetted ads is potentially a feature.
Using gmail just because its spam filter is like buying a Ferrari just because it looks nice. Is the whole engine that worths.
... OR made by Microsoft. How Windows.* fails and/or is insecure deserves a new whole category for it.
Well, after all, was that company that started the culture that if software fails is something normal and just reboot, and popular culture attributes the problem to the software.
In the other hand, we use to think that software in Linux is so reliable (well, at least Linux itself) than if something fails, must be users or hardware fault, while that is not so true (again, at least for non linux-kernel software)
Was to answer exactly that. 100 Gb of email and an interface that don't enables you to really USE that amount of email and in practice it could perfectly be gmail for the last gb and the rest in/dev/null.
Of course, 1Gb looks like a big size until you think is for all your life, and if you follow they advice of archive everything then it not look so big.
But size is just a part of the equation. That is usable, fast, takes in account spam/virus/etc, and in fact enables you to manage that amount of mail are equally big factors there. Is like the difference between getting a handful of sand ("normal" traditional webmails), a bag full of sand (the bag enables you to work/move it) and someone giving you the sahara desert and you have only your hands to move it... ok, is a lot of sand, but you still getting only a handful in practice.

2 years from now, someone will do a mega-post here a listing all internet sites, so all of them will be slashdotted, making the article a reality.
Maybe is just that what is needed...

ok, i know, RTFA, skipped that paragraph there.

... Microsoft will add security and a lot of features to MS SQL Server replacing it by MySQL.
That means if Kerry wins, p2p per se will not have legal problems during the next administration like it was tried to be banned in this one?

Better that than a sign saying "This side up"
... for complaining about missing options for this Poll, because the article title could have been a good choice for it.
