I hope if HBO does air this, it contains facts, not the equivalent of gas tanks rigged to explode upon impact. Sensationalist garbage will only hurt matters in the long run.

Oh, man, that's brilliant. If I weren't at work, I'd be laughing out loud at that one. Thanks for the chuckle.:)

Except it costs you more money, too - you need a bigger pipe and a better server to handle the extra hits - and 99% of those incorrect hits aren't ever going to generate revenue.
Why wouldn't they increase the price? They're under pressure to make a profit, and a new tax cuts into that profit, so they increase prices. It's really that simple, and very few businesses WON'T pass on the cost of taxes to the consumer.
Can I ask why you leave it run for so long? Do you leave the lights and television on in your house when you aren't using them? Do you complain if the car you're driving runs out of gas after running for dozens of hours?
Have you done similar tests on IE, Konqueror, Opera, etc.? How do they stand up over several days of browsing?
Now that I know this memory leak takes DAYS to show up, I'm actually glad the Moz developers are working on real issues...sure, they can fix them as they find them, but I'm glad they aren't wasting all their time on a couple tiny memory leaks that get magnified after people use the browser for days on end (then complain loudly about it). I close programs when I'm done with them, so I really don't care about minor memory leaks.
That thinks this is a GREAT development? No more music playing when I visit someone else's page...finally! Why people think they must play a song when I visit their page is beyond me. It was popular back in '95 or so, when the web first became popular, but then common sense broke out and everyone stopped doing it...until MySpace came along. (And don't get me started on the awful designs people use - backgrounds that make the text impossible to read and slow to scroll, etc...)
No, but if you like puppies, you have to vote for this guy. (A real campaign ad, by the way. Sometimes I wonder about my decision to move to Maryland.)
And therein lies the problem with nuclear power - people equate "nuclear power plant" with "Hiroshima". Even people on/., who are supposed to know better!

That kind of thing?
Look for copies of spamming software, prove the messages had been sent, etc...

RTFA...it's not very long. "The university has applied for a patent on the invention." Any other conclusions you'd like to jump to?

Now, I don't think suing over it is the answer...
And with all the time you save, you get, what? One extra message posted on /.?

Taxing the companies is taxing the consumer.
Is your life so busy that you can't wait the 5-10 seconds for Firefox (or any other program) to load when you want to use it?

You have no warning that the music will be playing when you click on the link to their page.
(Usually I only visit pages once anyway - I look at friends of friends' pages briefly, then go back to the useful part of the internet.)
Actually, I don't, but friends keep directing me to their pages, so out of curiousity I look at their friends' pages...

I was sure you were going to link to this infamous story. :)
Mods on crack again... this was not intended as a troll. It's a salient point in the discussion of the AC's idea.
/. doesn't realize that creating one person takes TWO contributions.
Or maybe (as I suspected from the AC's post) much of
Except that the egg came from a modern woman, so I doubt we'd be able to learn a lot.

Sorry. I love the Simpsons.
I think you and the AC that posted right above you should get together and hash it out. He's claiming it's a conspiracy.

Isn't it interesting that "blurry line" and "fine line" mean the same thing in this context? :)
Not to me, I'd still consider it an opinion, but your point is valid - it can be a blurry line between opinion and rumor.
That's an opinion, not a rumor.
A rumor would be something that masquerades as a fact.
