Take look at a map of Canada sometime. It's not a small concentrated population. There's very little between the major cities in the east, and basically nothing between the major cities in the west. It's very similar to the US in that respect.
Then you have financial instituions like mine. They actually tell me that it's OK to enter my account information into an unecrypted form because it's being submitted to a secure server. Honest. You can trust us. While it is techincally correct, the only way to verify that is to view the page source.
I hate that. IMO it should be impossible to submit a form to an https URL from an http URL (or another unencrypted protocol), and browsers should enforce it.
They would not issue a newegg.com certificate to anyone but NewEgg, because that's NewEgg's domain name. This scammer got a cert for mountainamerica.net, but the actual website is mtnamerica.org. Checking the domain name is the user's responsibility, like it or not. That's just the way SSL was designed. If you see that your cert is valid AND the domain name is the one you want, you're safe.
If the domain name of the website you're visiting is correct, and you didn't get an SSL error, you know for sure that you're connecting to the right server, and your communication to the server won't be modified or eavesdropped in transit.
What's going on with this phishing site is that they have a bogus domain name, which unfortunately is good enough to fool people. If you know know that your bank's website is citibank.com, not secure-citibank-website.com or something like that, you will never fall prey to this. You're wrong that a check would not have done any good.
And a "self-signed" cert is useless because a man-in-the-middle could issue his own "self-signed" cert and just replay traffic between the client and your server.
Winamp is the Internet Explorer of mp3 players. It's had a massive amount of vulnerabilities. This is the third playlist vulnerability alone: see the other two. Are they going to do a code audit, or will we see the same kind of vulnerabilities again and again?
I moved to a player with a good media library years ago. Even if that's not for you, consider something like Foobar2000.
Just because the Republicans cut taxes doesn't make them more fiscally responsible. Sure, it's good for the economy, but now your debt is out of control. Sen. Clinton would roll back tax cuts to keep the budget under control? Shock!
Of course, what really needs to happen is spending cuts, but I don't see either party doing that, especially not the Republicans (defense!! defense!!)

"So when the snoody cat, and the courageous dog, with the celebrity voices, meet for the first time in reel three, that's when you'll catch a flash of Tyler's contribution to the film. Nobody knows that they saw it, but they did... a nice, big, cock."
This geek-next-door probably has serious mental problems if he'll put the time into writing a useful kernel driver for Windows, but can't get a business license and come up with $500 a year.
Nobody ever claimed that Win2k was a "from scratch" OS. That would be a serious wasted effort. I think the last release they put out that comes close to "from scratch" would be the Windows NT 3 kernel, or the Windows NT 4 UI (Windows 2000 is Windows NT 5).
And besides that, the WMF vulnerability was a design flaw that has been around since WMF was first supported in Windows 3.0. They're probably not still working with code from that time.
You didn't need to flip CDs over. You can change tracks by pressing a button. CDs sound the same the first time you play them as the 1000th time. Portable players were eventually developed because CDs are read with a lens, not a fragile needle, and small enough to put in a jacket pocket.
These were all compelling reasons to switch to CD. Note that I haven't mentioned sound quality - if you keep your records clean, vinyl and CD basically sound the same.
svideo is better quality than composite. Look at a pattern of vertical lines over composite, or fine black-and-white text, and it will look like a mash of alternating colours. Since the colour and luminance information are separate signals with svideo, it will look as it should.
Also, one minor feature that upconverting DVD players have is that the onscreen display (menus for stuff like zoom and setting up sound and video options) will be much more readable because it is output at 720p or 1080i. But as I said that's a really minor feature.
How about if it's legal for someone to shoot you for stealing, you just kill them and their whole family before taking the bread so you won't run into any problems getting away.
Good point. I was always wondering how to add a "live bookmark" when all I have is a URL to a feed. Firefox only displays that orange thing if you're on a web page with a tag pointing to a feed.
You don't have to store the global Gaim password (assuming that's what you mean by "first password"). It (or a hash of it) just needs to be used as a key to encrypt a plain-text list of the other passwords.
Once you install SP2, security updates are available to everyone through Automatic Updates (configure through the My Computer properties pane). However, the Windows Update website, which lets you install individual security patches, updated hardware drivers, and other software is only available if your computer passes the Windows Genuine Advantage check.
He doesn't ignore 6-in-4 tunnels. He mentions RFC 2893. IPv4 Mapped Addresses have nothing to do with this, because you can't use those addresses over the network. Disregarding what you think of him personally, he does have a point. Re-read the comparison to the transition to MX records. ISPs would have started selling cheaper IPv6-only connections years ago if those hosts could connect to the existing IPv4 address space. Today nothing is IPv6-only.
I thought it was just one technical reason: the capacity of the disc. That's really all there was to it, right? The point HD-DVD had going for it was that the discs and players would have been cheaper to make.

So when Winamp 6 comes out with a playlist buffer overflow, you won't be surprised.

How many kernel drivers are on tucows anyway?
OT, but are filesystem drivers in kernel mode in NT? Seems like the perfect thing to have in user mode as there's no hardware interaction.
No, they mean that if you want to control heat, you might have to add noise (extra fans).

You don't need to be root to send out 1000 spams/minute.
That song's lyrics (from 1994?) was based on 21st Schizoid Man (released in 1969).
Or maybe you were trying to be funny, who knows

That's assuming you have all the prerequisite libraries/header files.
