The browser will not be the future of application development as long as spyware/adware exists! Yes, even Mozilla is susceptible to this(the ad/spyware that affects Window's TCP/IP stack or however to re-route connections). That is why it won't work for awhile. That is why we're moving an entire PHP site to Visual C#(with PHP backend on the server, for now).
Just my 2c, but I am sick and tired of hearing "The app is broken" and telling them to run ad-aware and hearing "Ok, it's fixed now. Try not to let it happen again." argh!
Well yeah, but 7.5 isn't much different than 7 in the version numbers. It's not even a major revision. I mean, c'mon, 0.8 to 0.9... oh, uh... yeah. I getcha.
If it makes you feel any better, I upgraded to 7.5 when the FreeBSD version came out. I still prefer firefox but it's nice to switch every now and then.
So I can goof off playing video games the first 600 years of my life, then spend my last 4 or 5 hundred years as a buddhist reaching enlightenment! Sa-Weet!
Bad quality? Small computer screen? Those are only "maybes".
I can download the DVD rip of Harry Potter, watch it on my television(using component out, not a VGA to TV converter), or with my new ati card, on a HDTV.
That's _really_ good quality. The screens are only small if they are small, but you can almost always pipe it out to the TV. Even my GeForce2 from 4 years ago does TV-out. And I've been piping my sound card to my stereo system for years.
You can get good quality movies, good sound, and DVD quality movies off the internet. I prefer to purchase, and for HP, I want to see it on the big screen.
"This kind of power creep is exactly the kind of thing citizens should oppose."
But what about the power creep from the industry? I mean people do NOT have a choice. A cell phone is becoming necessary in day-to-day life, the average joe is brainwashed into thinking that it is whatever way the company says it is because all other companies are like that and because there is simply nothing he can do.
I don't mean to sound anti-corporate(in fact I'm quite pro-corporate), but a power creep is a power creep. And an organization controlling people is as bad as a government controlling people. I think this thing needs to be made federal and necessary.
I promise you, and trust me on this, T-Mobile will not go out of business if I cancelled my contract within 30 days. They want that money, but it won't run them out of business. I need a cell phone anyways, so some company is going to get my business, it just encourages good business practices from the cell phone companies.
It may go too far, but I think in some places it doesn't go far enough.
Bah, take a regular sensor, and take a deer sensor, and just reverse it(if it is a deer, do not include it).
Yes, they have those. Yes, my father is a hunter. Yes, he likes to know where the deer are hanging around. No, it doesn't kill the hunt, since you never know where a deer will be, and everyone else has their own methods to do this.
In Search and Rescue, you can never assume the other person is awake, conscious, mentally sound, or anything else. They might just throw away the transponder.
What if they had a seizure? What if they get knocked unconscious? It would be far easier to say "this trigger was trigged eight times in the past two days and this one was triggered 9 times. The rest are pretty populated areas and no one has reported anybody, let's check out those two first"
Bear's can be accomodated for as well as deer. I'm sure there can be a sensor for four legged animals compared to two(bears don't walk on two, they attack on two). If not, body signatures, something would be able to. If not, I am sure there will be some other way to check. Hunting companies already have good ways to check and track deer while avoiding other creatures.
Extraterrestrials will be hidden by the government, two guys will pop up and show you a pen. Everything was fine.
I think the privacy policy would be best, but voluntary won't do any good at all. People will say "I won't get lost, I know what I'm doing" etc... and when a tree falls, or some other accident occurs, they sensors have proven useless and the person regrets what they did. I think it is voluntary as you don't have to go hiking.
As long as it is anonymous(as they person hinted at with the way he said) I don't think there would be any problems at it.
1min 25secs at the library. I wish I could run that fast from home to the library and know EXACTLY where the periodicals are. I think what they did was have the person look through the appropriate newspaper/book/magazine/article and THEN start the stopwatch.
Why was this even posted on slashdot when it is so obviously mis-managed?
Well, in the end, it just makes it easier and cheaper to develop bio-chemical warfare agents. =) Why create a virus that destroys all of humanity when you can weaken the immune systems of all humanity and just use the flu?
Hmm? That's weird, there's a black helicopter outside and someone knocking on my door.
Actually, there are now several books and mounting evidence that the Apostle Paul was created by the people who put the bible together (They, correctly, figured it would be best if the most important stuff came from a singular voice than several).
Much of Christianity is based on two previous religions, Judaism and another I forget which begins with an M, also outlawed in Roman Times.
Also, much of the bible has been proven to be badly mis-translated, as can be seen by the controversial Leviticus:
Literal Translation: "Man shall not lie with temple prosistutes as with womankind"
My 1st bible: "Man shall not lie with prostitutes as with womankind"
2nd: "Man shall not lie with man as with womankind"
3rd: "Man shall not lie with man as with womankind, it is unclean"
4th: "Man shall not lie with man as with womankind, it is a sin"
My current bible: "Man shall not lie with man as with womankind, it is a terrible sin"
Many of those have the same definitions, but only my 1st bible comes close to the literal translation. And yes, many temple prostitutes were men, but many more were poor women.
So I can take the Linux kernel, ignore the license, and do whatever I want with it then? Well why the hell do people get mad when people "violate" the GPL. They are just ignoring it! That's ok by you!
You owned the song, then bought it again with DRM? Well, now you have two copies of the song, one you own and another you own, with slightly more restrictions than the first one that you own.
I agreed to not give this music to other people, I agreed not to steal music by uploading this to other people. I can do the following with this music too:
1) Burn it 2) Listen to it on Linux from my iPod. Not quite iTunes but hell, ain't nothing on Linux that compares to iTunes yet(juk is coming a long way though!). 3) Listen to it on the go 4) Listen to it fro Windows
What did I lose? Well, a little bit of space because of the DRM, but other than that? Nothing. I can play it on my big stereo system at home, in the car, burn it on a CD. It's just more difficult to give it away. Darn. Guess my friends will have to shell out the $0.99 for songs! I guess I better LEND THEM THE MONEY.
Yeah, the white headphones do give it a way, but this paragraph is badly written!
The thief then asked Baskerville if he was listening to an iPod and, receiving an affirmative answer, he "pulled a knife out and started waving it at me, saying: 'Well hand it over, then.' I gave it to him and he ran off. He must have known I was wearing an iPod because of the white headphones."
Slashdot Mirror
Yup. They sell $143M worth of CDs(I'm sure at full retail price too!) for about $5M, maybe....
And who learns the lesson? The state hopefully, don't trust the RIAA. But I agree, just sell the damn things.
Although, considering the RIAA couldn't sell them, it could be difficult, but I'm sure at pennies a CD they could be sold pretty easily.

LOL, you're right. I get lazy when I have work. =(
Easy solution:
Have them remove the device and open their eyes. Blind people have no problems with motor control of their eyes normally.
Put up a picture of goatse.
If they person screams, they are a pirate.
If they just stare blankly, they are blind.
Either way, most should come out blind.
If they enjoy goatse, there is always tubgirl too. =)

My favorites are the library ones.
1min 25secs at the library. I wish I could run that fast from home to the library and know EXACTLY where the periodicals are. I think what they did was have the person look through the appropriate newspaper/book/magazine/article and THEN start the stopwatch.

Hmm? That's weird, there's a black helicopter outside and someone knocking on my door.
Because they had no word for 'sex' so they must associate it with something that its meaning can be gathered under.
How else could they say do not sleep with temple prostitutes?
Actually, there are now several books and mounting evidence that the Apostle Paul was created by the people who put the bible together (They, correctly, figured it would be best if the most important stuff came from a singular voice than several).

You're too stupid to drive on your own, you need a license and we will implement traffic lights, stop signs, lane divisions, and speed limits.
You're too stupid to procreate, reason 50% of children are born out of childbirth.
You're too stupid to pick the right career, why not let the market decide for you?
You're right, they are too stupid to communiate on their own. We need a business-reliable network, not, "Look ma, I done it mesself."
Not something infested with so much crap.
