In a few decades, we'll have a race of human-adverse crocs.
In a few decades huh? Your understanding of genetics is as simplistic as your understanding of crocodile behaviour.
As a previous poster has said, the objective is to relocate, not shoot them. This species of animal is also considered vulnerable (quote) or facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designates it as Endangered, or in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. The primary threat to this animal comes from habitat loss.
but can anyone point me to an example where any of these sites have commandeered content and used it nefariously?
Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't ever happen.
Frankly with this sort of data, I'm not that worried about what Facebook will do with the data. What concerns me is when Facebook goes into receivership, the creditors will sell this at fire sale prices to whoever wants to buy it....
It is true - the GP said they used BSD licensed code and the source you cite agrees:
Keep in mind there is no reason to rewrite that code. If your ftp client works fine (no comments from the peanut gallery!) then why change it? Microsoft has other fish to fry. And the software was licensed perfectly legally, since the inclusion of the copyright notice satisfied the BSD license.
Furthermore, I think the GP was thinking of the BSD licensed zlib. This library had a security issue several years back. Linux / BSD / etc were patched almost immediately (just update a single library), but MS products, including DirectX, FrontPage, Internet Explorer, Office, Visual Studio, Messenger and the Windows InstallShield program, were not patched as quickly.
... it would be nice if you could post a link to a full article in English, what with this being an english site and all. No, babelfish doesn't count.
Yes, we should ignore all foreign articles until they've been officially translated, even tho' translation tools are adequate to give you the gist of an article
I mean - it's not like there's any Germans who read Slashdot & will translate in the comments or anything is it?
Willing to swap Melbourne weather for any weather from the USA or Siberia.
Are you sure about that? A few days over 40, then back to lovely 30s isn't that bad. I prefer it to 11 straight days over 100f (with plenty over 40c). And certainly over a Siberian winter...
Its nature was NOT about keeping people *snip* from locking down the hardware that it ran on.
I'm afraid you're wrong; the purpose of the GPL was to allow the user to take back control of their systems; the GNU manifesto, predating GPLv2 even states:
As a result, a user who needs changes in the system will always be free to make them himself, or hire any available programmer or company to make them for him. Users will no longer be at the mercy of one programmer or company which owns the sources and is in sole position to make changes.
Considering you can't use punctuation, I'm guessing you're of a generation that can't even remember the last time Labour was in power....
labor is the party that tries to please everyone, and thats where they screw up... because when you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one.
Yeah, things like Mabo, the floating of the dollar, the privatization of the CBA & QANTAS, reduction of import tariffs, etc where all just trying to please everyone
What a joke - you don't remember the Labour government at all... they made plenty of unpopular decisions.
They've only been in for two months. The other side had over a decade. Once they're warmed up, we'll see the level of stupidity they exhibit. Sense of perspective, indeed.
Indeed, we will see what level of stupidity they may exhibit.
However, we have already seen the level of extreme and dangerous stupidity the Howard govt exhibited.
If you had a sense of perspective, you'd see the difference between proven & potential stupidity.
Sorry, but these pack of freedom-hating political hacks ain't that much different than Howard's bunch of freedom-hating political hacks.
I don't think you can really compare a dumbassed plan to censor the internet (that will probably never be implemented), with the actual arrest & incarceration (without due process), followed by deportation of an innocent man.
I don't think Australia's likely to take this step, the person asking for this is the dumbass cop who arrested an innocent man to attempt to test new anti-terror laws (his relationship with the previous Australian government also suggests he did it for political gain).
Read this article for a better understanding of the Haneef case.
The current government does not support the calls to censor the media.
Labour love wasting money, taking 4.7 billion from the Future Fund is a direct abuse of powers....
How can it be a direct abuse of power, when its an election promise? Surely they have a mandate to fullfill their election promises?
At least the Libs want private sector to fund it, it shouldn't come from our pockets.
How do you think the private sector's going to recoup their investment? Go on, have a think about it. Do you think it will come from corporate altruism, or perhaps from our pockets?
Remember - This is the same Prime Minister of Australia (John Howard) who phone spammed the continent prior to the last election, then paid his smug looking son to email spam the nation.
The reason Howard's talking about broadband (apart from the fact that he's running scared from a buoyant & surprisingly competent opposition with a better broadband plan) is because this will give him access to more Australians to spam, spam spam.
My apologies for being ontopic. I now return you to your scheduled 'why broadband is crap in the US' offtopic flamewar.
So if you buy stolen goods, even though you thought they were completely legitimate, you'd be happy to take the punishment for their theft ?
Why did MS accept the punishment, when Intel could take them blame (after all, Intel must have provided them some assurance for MS to believe it was "compleley legitimate").
I'm sorry - you can blindly trust MS all you like, but the overwhelming evidence here is that they acted illegally, got busted & accepted the punishment.
"Our study showed that
people who believed they reacted to monosodium glutamate were
as likely to respond to the placebo (a substance containing no
monosodium glutamate) as to monosodium glutamate, although the
most common reaction was none at all." Dr Leonid Tarasoff, Former Chair of Chemistry,
University of Western Sydney, and MSG Researcher.
"The public perception
that MSG causes many adverse effects is certainly not borne out
of scientific research well-documented clinical studies
have failed to confirm adverse health effects from ingestion
of MSG."Associate

Hospital.
If you really want to lose weight, cook everything yourself, from raw ingredients (like vegetables, rice, chicken). Don't be afraid to add MSG:-).

Fence off TPB so only Swedish residents can access
Why should sweden do that? If the US wants a great-firewall-of-the-US, they should build their own one & censor their own people.
This sort of censorship by proxy stuff is bullshit.
How exactly are they going to get the power back down from space?
Microwave transmission.

Did I see the words "German" and "funny"?
Try mocking germany to germans, then mocking america to americans.
Then tell me which country has a better sense of humour.

We're better off than Adelaide that's for sure.
I also really hate the notion that Americans are war-mongers.
Perhaps not the American people, but the American government (with the consent of the people) certainly seem to be war mongers.
Look how much money they US spends on war compared to the rest of the world (more than the next 45 highest spending countries in the world combined!)
Have a look at the number of countries with a US army base (willing hosts or otherwise).
These is not really the actions of a peaceful country.

What was the link capacity in xxx Gbps or Mbps ?
Perhaps read the first sentence of the article? (six gigabits per second)

Ignorant savages don't litigate against rich companies.
Perhaps you should consider dropping the racist slurs (would you have said 'savages' if it was a European language group?)
Greedy bastards would be a better term.
Bullshit
MS's own glossary says:
Do you also scream in protest because google didnt spell itself accurately?
Retarded. Googol is a word, Google is a brand.
So many people here seem to be irate at the fact that Microsoft uses the term "Release Candidate" in a different way than they do.
Which word do you not understand? Release or candidate? Surely you see that those two words imply that its, well, a candidate for release?
All the are saying with is that its a version with frozen APIs unless a fundamental problem with the API's design is found
It's not "API stability candidate" is it?
i founded myspace as a how-to site on html design etiquette

I see you followed those same principles in the site you link to in your sig (and the puncuation in your post).
