The presumption could be that releasing source code allows the user to take responsibility for the correct operation of the software.
That's a bit like saying a car company shouldn't be held responsible for putting faulty brakes on a car, since after all, the car owner could have replaced the brakes with something that worked.
Okay, so this book will teach you how to model a relationship. But what I'm really looking for is a book that will teach me how to have a relationship with a model.
The problem is, a dumb keylogger will catch the alt-tab you use to switch windows. A smart one will know which window the keys are going to and record that information. Either way, it isn't too hard to get the actual password.
Now, if you opened up enough Notepad windows alongside the PGP window and alt-tabbed through all of them, you'd make it much harder for them if they're using a "dumb" keylogger. But then again, you make it much harder for yourself too.
I think what the submitter meant is that devices created with this new technology will so captivate nerds that it will completely displace any desire for women, thus making silicone obsolete.
Yes, it is different. The difference being with most other types of media (TV, radio, print, etc.) the content owner is paid regardless of whether you view the ad or not. For example, it doesn't matter if you skip the commercials during the Superbowl, because NBC (or whoever...) has already been paid for that time, so they're compensated for broadcasting the content to you whether you watch the ads or not.
Typical web advertising is different. The web site is paid per impression. When you visit a web site and block the ads, you're denying the site the compensation they deserve.
Googles DOES have ads, just not the obtrusive, annoying kind. I.e., look up "car tires" and the first thing you see is a "sponsored link" by Tire Rack.
When a company sells (as in not-free beer) free (as in speech) software, it's good. When a company gives away (as in free beer) non-free (as in speech) software, it's anti-competitive. Come on, get your slashdot propoganda accepter fixed!
"We at kamikaze are sending our kindest regards to those who have been affected by this tragic happening (everyone).
Give me a break... If you play with fire, don't whine when you get burned. Tragic is 4000 people dying in NYC, people getting killed every day by drunk drivers, etc. Getting busted for doing something illegal doesn't quite fit my definition of "tragic."
It is important to fully evolve to the correct paradigm when thinking outside of the box. How will we ever fully synthesize the correct model for stabilizing the algorithm for a disruptive system?
There are a couple of good reasons for wanting an external. The biggie for me is the convenience being to able to put the drive and computer in different places, i.e. the (noisy) computer in a cabinet below my desk and the drive on top of the desk where I can get to it quickly.
As others have mentioned, it also saves your IDE connectors for other things as well as letting you have a smaller case.
The human optical system is a very complex systems that's been honed for tens of thousands of years to process lots of bits of information at once.
The biggest problem I can see with replacing a windshield with a camera is that you lose your stereoscopic vision. I haven't see any good way of replicating it either that doesn't hamper anything else.
Hell, I can still run the old Commander Keen games just fine (no sound card sound, but that's simply because I'm lazy and it's nostalgic for me to use the PC speaker for those games).
Check out vdmsound. It lets you play DOS games with emulated SB16 support in NT/2k/XP. It works great.
Gotta agree with you. The game itself is great, but the UI is definately a step down from SMAC or even Civ II. First, it's slow (though I admit, my Celeron 450 is no speed demon). Second, I haven't figured out how to find some of the more advanced commands (i.e. the "build a road to...", disband, etc.), I had figure them out by trial and error and dusting off my memory of SMAC.
The culture system is nice though, definately a good evolution of the sphere of influence from SMAC. The natural resources add an interesting new element to the game. The new diplomacy system is great too. Also, I like how units are no longer supported by one city, but by your civilization as a whole. Unfortunately, losing the concept of "home cities" means you can use the SMAC-style "improve home city..." option for workers, but it's a good trade.
Between IMAP and LDAP you have most of the email-related functionality of Exchange. The major thing missing is the calendar related stuff (which is pretty useful).
I can see of these going into new homes. Many builders will be happy to install ethernet drops for you when building a house, but you still have the mess of needing all the drops coming out in one place so you can put them all into a hub/switch. This will let you hide all of that inside your walls.
You need to get straight on your history young'un!
Back then, you had to write your message using punch cards, and then send those punch cards using USPS. A week later, you'd get a package containing a bunch of punch cards with the response.
Sure, downloading MP3s took a long time, but dammit we were happy.
"In this [LAME MP3] test, both boards based on the nForce chipset come out on top."
Err, the nForce boards got 178. Three KT266A boards got 178, the rest got 179. The only reason the nForce boards are on top is the way the graph is sorted.
Same thing with the Flask test. The fastest nForce board beats the faster KT266A board by.26 FPS. That's about 1%. Hardly a "pummeling".
Something tells me they just glance at the graphs and make a judgement, rather than actually seeing what they say...
The abuse for "modified" comments would be immense
Allowing deletion only if the post hasn't been replied to or moderated would be compromise. Since most of the "doh, I wish I could edit this" probably fall in the "oops, I misspelled something" or the "I forgot to preview" category, the author will catch these pretty quickly and be able to do something about it.

The others didn't leave, they were simply compressed down to only 5 people using their revolutionary compression algorithm.

Like some of the others, I don't see what we're talking about. None of the links went to advertisments.
Are we so quick to condemn a company for, gasp, trying to make money that we're ready to crucify Yahoo for what is probably just a glitch?

Imagine running a Beowulf cluster using some of these!

At least that computer didn't have a methane powered fuel cell power source in it. Then your computer would be be broken AND smelly.
I went to look at the screenshots and was pretty disappointed. All I saw was "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error."
What the hell kind of interface is that? What do click on to get to the program menu, the "H" or the "T" (and which "T"?)?
Full disclosure may be good, but full exposure will get you thrown in jail!
