is there any particlular reason that this kind of scam comes mainly from Nigeria? Is it related to the laws there, or a cultural thing? What makes that place different from 100 other countries?
I have been wondering about that for a long time...
Just get this into your head: no passwords have been leaked! If two of the accounts in each section where not created by the same person, then the password would be compromized (the other person would know it's the same as his/her own). But that's the only problem.
My guess would be that this would be true for at most two pairs of accounts on that page. Bit probably, none at all.
That is precicely the problem: Using C to implement a GUI-API is simply brain dead. C is for the kernel, for drivers, for heavy duty calculations like cryptography, etc. For a graphical user inteface, an object oriented language is the way to go.
Wrapping a procedural API into objects does not really help, at least not if you do not re-implement half the concepts. A good (bad) example for this the the abominable MFC.
QT ist simply the better API, and the GUI it creates is much more flexible and convenient. The file selection dialog is a very good example: the file chooser in GTK is close to unusable, and makes me want to hit the developers whenever i am forced to use it (no, i have not yet tried the noew one). KDE's file selector is very nice and uses the same components as Konqueror does. The same thing is true for almost all the GUI components, including menus.
Seriously: I'm not a native speaker, and my spelling is bad enough in german, too. Also, i often don't proof read my contributions to messages boards. Sue me.
Have you tried the enigmal extension? It doesn't get much simplet than that. Setting it up is not completely seemless, but easy enough. Using it is just a matter of klicking the "encrypt" button.
The Problem with that: the signals of your perifery are to weak to make over the distance. Especially video is going to be a problem. Also: where are you going to put the CDs in?

Thank you.
heh - bullseye.
You mean different markets like computers and musik? Beware the overlap...

Note to self: don't nitpick, you'r bound to screw up while doing it.
but "meak culpa" is not something you make. "Faux pas" would have worked, if he wanted to sound educated...
Sure, it's just nitpicking, but it triggered a syntax error for me, too.
iPodling. See here.
mod parent up, he's right.

The average annual growth seems to be ~1%, according to this, at least up to 1999.
That being said - sure you havn't met many people leaving - they are not longer there! duh.
...no images in the dump. Just text. And not reader software.
Also, the current dump is about 800 MG, gzipped. enjoy.
the idea seems to catch...
QT has a C++ API, whereas GTK+ is plain C

Hail spelling nazi!

It's in the advanced options, just turn it on. I never noticed they turned it off by default, the setting was just got imported when i upgraded.
or don't press anything, just type.
It'S funny! Laugh!
There are lots and lots of nice little letterses... it *must* be Informative!
BZZZZT Wrong!
Absolutely right.
Now, where have my mod points gone when I need them?
Supposing all text is intended to be centered, the page renders fine for me (Firefox 0.8 on Linux). But I guess it's not, is it?...
Um, where do i plug the wifi-card into the stereo?
Mod parent up. he's so right.
