Do you think people are still using logfiles to analyze their web traffic? Modern e-metrics tools are Javascript based. It's easy to track users behind NAT, calculate the time a user spends on a site, and much more. And don't tell me that this is skewed by people that have Javascript disabled. That's maybe 1 or 2 percent of the visitors.
Here is the (compressed) Javascript that is executed each time you view a page on a site using Google Analytics, for example.
I think the poster referres to The Council of the European Union. This council isn't elected directly. As you describe it consists of ministers of the governments, which are members of the executive. So the executive suddenly gains a tremendous legislative power.
Your description sounds nice and democratic, but in reality checks and balances are way out of control regarding European legislation. And given the enormous impact some EU directives have, there is almost no political discussion let alone media coverage. The leading governments of Europe basically can change laws at will.
This is specific to Germany. The European directive was massively supported by the German government. There wouldn't be such a directive if Germany hadn't pushed this forward the whole way. That's how you bypass national legislature in Europe nowadays.
For the standard user the search box is more useful than the address bar because it has spell-checking. If you search for "www.slahsdot.org" you still get to the right page.
You obviously don't know how spammers and phishers work. Do you really think they're scared of being tracked down by an IP address? Ever heard of botnets? It's ignorant people like you that should get blackholed by the rest of the world.
Goggle is the undisputed leader in contextual advertising. They have at least a two year lead over their competitors. That's their cash cow. That's how they generate their huge profits. How can anyone who wants to be CEO ignore that? I didn't read all the posts, but I think this hasn't been mentioned in any of the replies. People are discussing Google Maps, GMail and what not. That's only the vehicles for contextual advertising.
Yeah, the real killer with Dapper LTS is the fact that they announced to provide server security updates for 5 years. For free, of course. One of the main downsides of free distros has always been the short product lifetime.
You lose quality if you first convert audio from digital to analog, and then sample it again. But in the age of "CD quality" 128 kBit MP3s and crappy PC speakers, who cares about audio quality anyway...
Slashdot Mirror
Permission from apple? Yeah, sure...
And transparent DIVs over a fixed background image, like on most myspace pages.
I'd say that making an analog recording isn't stream ripping. I think stream really means the digital bit stream, so no problem here.

Complaining about "its" vs. "it's"... You must be new here.

Last time I checked Germany called itself Federal Republic, not People's Republic.

I have no problem pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del with one hand. Thumb on right Alt key, ring finger on right Ctrl and middle finger on Del.
Belladonna is Italian, not Latin. But you were quite close.

The money ends up in the pockets of the copyright and publishing rights holders. Most of it goes to the industry and not to the artists.
I think the GP meant the software "Parallels", a Windows emulator for Macs.
Every recording is lossy. Real audiophiles only listen to live music.
And less accurate!!!
Shell scripts have been vulnerable to similar "injection" exploits since the invention of CGI.

Exactly what I think. Really, this is +5 Insightful, not funny.
Especially using Firfox plugins like this one. Personally, I only use about 5 Firefox plugins, and this is one of them.
No, you don't have a copyright on anything you create. There's always a certain threshold of originality
That won't work with future DRMed PCs.
