Slashdot offers me an option to not display ads... I have never ticked it because, unlike most other sites on the net, slashdot ads are not nearly as obnoxious as they could otherwise be. In the event that they start filling space between posts I will exercise my ad suppression, either by the slashdot checkbox or via adblock.
Because they have to pay for the ISP to actually VET the request to make sure there is sufficient evidence to kick them off. The ISP does NOT want to piss of their customers. The industry will start to be very clear about specific users. Hopefully having this avenue will also mean that the sue-and-settle method of getting cash can be addressed if they didn't first take this step.
I find it interesting that they specified that the Movie Industry needed to pay the ISP to vet the claims. Which means that frivolous disconnect requests should be weeded out or not submitted. This also means that the industry better have real evidence rather than just circumstantial evidence against their proposed user. Hopefully it should cut down on some of the bullying... It could have been far worse.
Ubuntu on my home laptop seems to have OpenOffice,org crash constantly, whereas MS Office works fine on Windows XP with the same laptop. Windows 7 on my work laptop seems to have MS Office crash constantly whereas OpenOffice.org works fine (on Windows 7).
Nothing works perfectly... It's a matter of building a SOE and testing thoroughly with the hardware. I like MS and have defended them here before (both openly and as AC). I also defend Linux (I have used more than just Ubuntu, but I am using it to bring my wife into the Linux fold:) ) but only on its merits.
Windows still has a far more consistent approach to UI. It sucks in places, but overall it is far easier for users to pick up (which is possibly due to exposure).
Vaguely. I am a Roving Mod there now, and have been for years. I continue to do a little Game Dev on the side, but mostly I am occupied with working in the real world.
Nope, when he turns them on they suck all the dark out of the room, except for the dark that is hiding behind large objects. It sucks it all up and transports it to the energy company where they stockpile all the dark for some nefarious purpose.
I have a memory that absorbs passwords. I know that two years down the track after I left one company they called me asking for the Directory Services Restore Mode password. This was all well documented when I left. From this same incident I also know that the Admin passwords and the remote connection were all still using the same settings as when I worked there.
I would say that "Christianity", "Islam" or whatever does not constitute a cult, but that the Church of said religion may. In that instance the Catholic Church could be considered a Cult in the same way that the Church of Scientology could be considered a cult. I believe it all comes down to the degree of harm that is caused to individuals and the hostility that these churches display toward those both within and outside their organisations. They could both be considered culpable as a cult IMHO.
Disclaimer: I am a lapsed Catholic. Agnostic. Though I still believe some of the founding tenets of religion (about how we should treat each other in the most purest form) are the correct tenets to live by.
Really? After all this time you think they would be willing to waste any more by editing it for EVERYBODY? I think the most likely scenario is that the reviewer was simply overcome with disbelief at having actually been given the game to play. Either that or when he saw it on his list he went "Pfft! Yeah Right! I'll approve that. Not like it'll ever get released! AHAHAHA!".
This is exactly what came to mind for me too. But then is the ethical thing to go and set up the new Outsourced Helpdesk in China and leave India at the end, or stay with the girl?

Well played, sir!
I too was thinking of Quantum Leap when I read the GP.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

My preferred one is "Common sense is not so common.".
Offtopic: Hey MKV. Long time no see (since GDN). Still rocking out? \m/
Fucking tides... you can't explain that!
I have 16. It's 32 that requires the wasting of lots of money.

Not surprised in the slightest.
6. After targetting Anonymous they didn't invest in curtains.
7. After targetting Anonymous they didn't invest in a dog.
Surely they saw the FOX11 story on Anonymous when checking out the background of their quarry?
In other words: you have installed curtains and have bought a dog. Anonymous is no longer a threat to you...
"Facebook keeps users in a neurotic limbo, not knowing whether they should hang on in there just in case they miss out on something good"
Just like slashdot. Been here for years and I'm still waiting ;)
If they did Like it it may be more from a "Sure! I'd hit that. 500 bucks to get some head?! SOLD!" perspective.

5. Don't mention that you put your wife on the Terrorist Watchlist

There can be only one!~

Pray for ExEn to save you (or donate to help it to happen).
Last time I checked a sundial didn't have the point rotate around an entire circle. The sun cuts a semicircular path across the sky.
This is exactly what came to mind for me too. But then is the ethical thing to go and set up the new Outsourced Helpdesk in China and leave India at the end, or stay with the girl?
Ah, but is an infinitely large circle also an infinitely long straight line?
