You realize there are needs for legitimate commercial email, right? If you care so much, note that we have/do terminate clients who spam people, thanks for asking, troll.
I realize that. The point I was trying to make is that they had an article, and took it down. It would be common decency to not make money off of people who are not getting what they expected when they visit the site. My comment had nothing to do with bandwidth, it had to do with the ethics of putting up a page that people expect to be one thing and instead get one line and a bunch of ads. Just seems shady.
But yet they have no problem leaving all the ads on the page that says they pulled the article, so they can make money off the people expecting the article to be there, thus getting paid for hosting nothing. What a crock of shit.
The bill aims to 'amend the federal criminal code to include a number of new clauses meant to up the ante on wasting government resources. Won't that pretty much make the entire US government illegal? No one wastes government resources like the government itself. It is only a matter of time before someone gets charged under this law for leaving a carton of milk in the sun too long making someone think it smells like a bomb, calling the bomb squad and creating panic.
Just sick the tree huggers on them. All those CDs will just end up in landfille now, how wasteful! Perhaps we can get the greenies to help us this time...
Your the dumb one.
I seem to be having my own personal 6th sense lately, but unlike in the movie, I don't see dead people everywhere, I see dumb people. It really is more scary than a ghost bruce willis.
You DO realize browsers have different features, right? Midas wasn't always a part of Firefox, SVG support still isn't in IE (that I know of), IE just got transparent PNG, etc, etc, etc. It is the differences in browsers that sometimes make someone HAVE to choose one over the other.
If you think not adding support for a minority percentage of a market is "just being lazy" you've clearly never worked as a professional developer on a major site. It is a business decision, pure and simple. If the business thinks it can get more money by taking on another area of development, it will do it. Just because it is nice to have isn't always the primary factor.
My company is very near releasing an update to our web application that will provide 100% support of both IE and Firefox (our next major revision will be out next month). There are a number of reasons why we are only just now adding support for Firefox. Though my company is only 6 years old, as far as browser development goes, a lot has changed. When version 1.0 of our application was written, mozilla based browsers lacked a lot of the functionality they have now. For instance, a central part of our application is a rich text editor that creates text and html formatted email content. Up until Firefox 1.3 with the introduction of Midas, only IE supported editable regions in web pages. This was a major hurdle for us.
In the mean time, we continued to add features and pages to the application which was only targeting IE, so most of the application was not 100% standards compliant. We've wanted to do Firefox support for a long time, but sometimes the need to add new features for existing customers outweighs the need to provide support for a very small number of people who complained. Additionally, web developers who are trained in cross-browser coding are a rare commodity (much rarer than the number of people who complain about the lack of firefox support).
Also, adding firefox/mozilla support isn't just code and forget it. Even though the code for firefox on PC and firefox for mac may be similar (I haven't looked, sorry), they still have slightly different rendering practices. Just to name one, a file upload input box with a size attribute set to 50 will be much longer and take up more screen than on a PC. So you have to do a platform check in javascript to set the size differently on a mac or a PC so the screen looks the same. Nope, the CSS width attribute is completely ignored in both platforms.
These are just a few reasons, and your mileage may vary. We have a very complex application with a lot of complex scripting, so our effort is likely more than most would have to do. A firefox user simply impersonating an IE user agent would not have had any luck in making our app work.
It is actually more akin to the deflector dish. It is what was responsible for deflecting small particles and the like from the path of the ship. At warp 10, even a single molecule would have the force to destroy the ship.
Battery life should be better with the flash support added to the HD. I don't have the figures, but I'd guess the HD and the LCD are the main battery draws on average. I expect battery life to be the same if not a little better overall.

I personally, find it funny, how some people, tend to abuse commas. What is so hard, to understand? This has to be one of the worst headlines ever. It took me 4 times reading it before I started to think I understood what the author was getting at.
To keep on-topic, my 3G 15GB iPod still works just fine. The battery doesn't last the 8 or so hours it used to (more like 6 now), but it still runs like a champ.
Well, I'm assuming there is a microchip on the drive itself that does the encryption/decryption. I'm guessing there may be a lag between reading the data off the drive and sending it back to the computer via the SATA bus, so giving the highest possible burst speed I can see being an advantage here. More so than a standard 5400 RPM SATA drive that would only have to handle reading and writing, anyway.
4. Shotgun Blasts and Kung Fu Kicks Make Targets Fly across the Room
With the string of new kung fu films out (they run the gamut from The Matrix to Charlie's Angels), you just can't escape the small matter of bad physics. Yeah, the action scenes look great and all, but in reality momentum is conserved, such that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, when you see a gal kick someone across the room, technically, the kicker (or holder of a gun) must fly across the room in the opposite direction - unless she has a back against the wall. If I punch a punching bag, the bag moves but I don't. That is because my fist has the energy which transfers to the bag. I don't go flying backwards as the article suggests.
I know on my core duo laptop running XP, both firefox and IE tend to bog my system down on pages that have flash animations (using 100% of a single core for 50% overall). How is this news on a techie site that running something in the background may have an impact on other processes? Do we want to go back to the OS 8 days when programs could steal all the processor? I thought SMP was a good thing?
UAC makes elevation a pain, in the hope that software creators will write software which doesn't need to elevate! How would this work if even MS can't grasp that? It prompts you if you even open the control panels, even if you don't make any changes. Simply OPENING them requires you to grant permission.
From your link:
if an app doesn't provide a specification, it will be run in the context of a standard user, but UAC will provide some virtualization features to make it appear as though certain admin tasks succeeded. Ok, even if this does work as the article explains, why the hell would you want it to "appear as though certain admin tasks succeeded"? So the first chance you notice is when your program starts crashing or fails to launch? That is almost more asinine than running all installers as admin, and certainly more frustrating. What sort of short bus freaks do they have making the decisions at MS?
No, it is completely different. For an MSI to run on windows, it needs to use the installer SERVICE which is running under the sytem account. This means that any installer inherently is running through a system user account. And if you had read the article, EVERY installer asks to be run as administrator in Vista, regardless of its intent. There is no exception made for a game, such as Tetris. RTFA yourself.

You mean how the US made online gambling illegal? Or is trying to push to make AllOfMp3.com illegal? Seems like other countries are doing this too.
You do realize not all email is spam? Stop entering your email address into porn sites, buddy.

Why no Death Star stamp? I want to put a Death Star on all my bill payments. Something rather poetic, I think.

Hasn't the mid-atlantic ridge always been there? How is this a "rare opportunity"? I don't think it will be going anywhere anytime soon.
