That's one of those things I've noticed many Europeans are ignorant of about the US. Finland is 130,559 square miles in area. The US is 3.5 million square miles. Even taking away Alaska and Hawaii, that still leaves the mainland US with more than 2.8 million square miles of land.
...except Mozilla.org isn't exactly marketting Firefox as being a "beta quality" product. Go to Mozilla.org and go through the motions to get to the Firefox download page. Do you see ANYTHING saying "Firefox is a beta product and may contain bugs", that only advanced users should use it, etc.? Nope.
The Mozilla.org people have been actively trying to get people to promote Firefox, such as the recent campaign to submits reviews of Firefox to download.com.
You can't say one minute that Firefox is production quality and ready to replace IE (which I do agree with wholeheartedly), then turn around hide behind the "beta" label the next minute whenever a bug is found.
They left the price tag on it?! I hate when I buy some clothing and forgot to remove some harrd to see tag or sticker and realize later I've been walking around all day with a tag saying "36x30" 10 times on my ass.
I believe how the electoral system is works is that in order to be listed on the ballot in each state, each party must provide a list of names of potential electors (if the state has 10 electoral votes, the party must submit 10 names).
So in most states, if by some fluke the Green party carried the state, all of that states electors would be people from the Green party's list of potential electors.
If only there were some way for people outside the US to get a web server and set up a Slashdot like site dedicated to the politics of their country, rather than whining about how all other countries are somehow entitled to have coverage in a section dedicated to US politics.
The Mt Rainier specification for CD-RW drives was supposed to have taken CD-RW a few steps closer to being a true replacement for the floppy. It looks like Linux has support for it, but Windows still doesn't have built in support for it so the standard is effective dead in the water for now.
Their 'native' file format is 384Kbps MP3 for their 'Online Encoding' tracks. If you select that option, you're downloading the original file and not a transcoding.
Unfortunately, a bitrate of 384Kbps is non standard and many MP3 players refuse to play them. Winamp won't play them unless you install a different MP3 decoder such as the MAD decoder.
1. If Apple had it's way, the Hymn project would be dead.
2. Hymn (and playfair before it) didn't out until quite a while after the iTunes Music Store appeared. The MSN Music Store just opened up on a beta basis yesterday. Give it time.
In the scenario you mentioned, it forces the spammer to use machines that's within the ISP's control. If the spam bearing your domain is originating from some random computer in China, there's not a whole lot you can do. But if the spam has to originate from one of your customer's computers and has to be sent via one of your SMTP servers, then you can look at the logs on your SMTP server, figure out the infected customer, and take appropriate action.
Except when you're using something like this, you're not viewing any ads. Since most Google ads are pay per click, there is no way you could click them and thus no way for Google to make any money.
It's been a while since I read the series, but I remember some of the later books having some sexual situations in them. It looks like they're just talking about the first book and not th whole series though, and I don't remember anything bad in the first one.
"Google quality results"? You mean when I search my hard drive for files related to "history report", I'm NOT going get back 5 pages of results saying "this is the best file for 'history report' nokia samsung"?
It sounds like they're just capitalizing on a buzz word. Google's big claim to fame is that their search algorithm looks at the links between pages in addition to the pages themselves. Files on your hard drive, for the most part, aren't linked between each other (aside from stuff like source code), so the Google comparison is fairly bogus.
Because it gives iPod usera a choice other than iTMS?

Would a certificate authority refuse to issue a certificate to a website called "services-paypal.com"? If not, then just checking for an SSL icon wouldn't do much. If people are fooled by "services-paypal.com" in the address bar, they'll probably be fooled by it again in the SSL information dialog box.
So does Windows Update, automatic updates, etc. still work after installing SP2 using a pirate key? I've read a few reports with the SP2 betas that they could install SP2 fine, but afterwards if they went to Windows Update it wouldn't let them install any further updates.
Both Winamp and iTune's tagging capabilities are pretty weak compared to a dedicated tagging utility like mp3tag or tag. Tagging from within either Winamp or iTunes is convenient for small changes, but for any bulk changes they're both a pain.
Oddly enough, the links in the RSS feed are the only way I've been making it to Slashdot lately. For some reason, I only have a problem getting to the main page, but individual story pages are fine. The RSS feeds lets me go straight to the story feed.
I only get the 503's when trying to get to the front page. For some reason, anything else works fine, including the RSS feed (http://slashdot.org/index.rss). I can read the stories by going through the links from the RSS feed, but I can't get to them from the front page because of the 503s...

No wonder the probe chose to off itself.
Netflix used to have a 'mature' section that had some porn in it. Girls Gone Wild videos, Penthouse videos, etc. Nothing hard core.

Flip flopping on Slashdot is one of this forum's biggest problems.

I used it for a couple of days... and then uninstalled it.
The only feature iTunes had that I miss in Winamp was the "smart playlists" thing, that wasn't enough to make me switch over.
