You are talking about a feature just added to a development tree, not something in a released version of Firefox.
This feature can already be disabled (if you happen to be running a development version) using the 'browser.send_pings' preference.
They didn't "quietly enable" a feature, they did it in front of everyone interested. There are plenty of bugs in bugzilla talking about the implementation of this feature. If you are running a development version of Firefox and can't be bothered to keep up with what is going on in the development community, that's your problem.
// check prefs to see if pings are enabled nsCOMPtr<nsIPrefBranch> prefs = do_GetService(NS_PREFSERVICE_CONTRACTID); if (prefs) { PRBool allow = PR_TRUE; prefs->GetBoolPref("browser.send_pings", &allow); if (!allow) return; }
If it's existing DVD production, is it readable by *existing* DVD players like those in a computer. In other words can I get a codec and play it in a PC, (even if I need to update the DVD firmware to do it)? Sure the codec means it won't immediately be playable on the DivX/MPEG4/DVD boxes, but can it play on a PC?
If they can do that, that would be a HD-DVD killer.
The number of people that enjoy watching DVDs on their computer is only slightly larger than the number of people with HTPCs... The bump received from this minorty will not be enough to kill off any competition... As proven time and time again, content is king, and no minor technical advantages will win this war... Content (and to a lesser degree, price) will decide who wins, and with so many content producers lined up behind BluRay, it's looking bad for HD-DVD...
How many times are we going to have to read stories about music labels putting up false album tracks containing dreck such as Ashlee Simpson in place of Metallica? We get it, the labels don't like pirates....
Oh, and I don't disagree that Audible is a fantastic service, I've subscribed for years... I was just pointing out that the parent was wrong in saying that Audible delivers unprotected MP3 files...
Audible has always used their own in-house DRM format, not MP3, so you got that wrong... (they do have a version of their file format that uses MP3 audio internally, but it is still wrapped in their DRM envelope).
You can, however, burn the books to unencrypted audio CDs...
I'm amazed at how/.ers make jokes about everything, including people dying in terrorist attacks. We didn't find it very funny when someone crashed planes into our skyscrapers but when Europeans die it's a joke?
Let's be a little bit considerate. Not all/.ers are U.S., i'm sure we have lots of British readers here.
And of course, in your rant about how the U.S. needs to stop assuming it's the center of the world you assume that U.S. residents are the ones leaving the comments you find so offensive. Nice one.
This article is talking about broadcasting the submitted podcasts over AM radio, which is distinctly and wholly different from Openpodcast.org, as far as I can tell..
CpMac is a very simplistic program existing just because of the HFS+ quirks. It's not very sophisticated while cp (from freeBSD source tree) is full featured and has a pedigree:p.
If cp is full-featured than what does anyone need CpMac for? =)
I remember similar discussions over plot removal in Lord of the Rings... I'll reserve judgement until I actually see the film, as opposed to reading someone's fanboy opinion.

Actually, no, it isn't that clear. FTFA:
But that wasn't your question. Your question was "is WebObjects relevant"? As a commercial application server: no. It hasn't been for a long time.
No, WebObjects is only relevant if you're on the hook for writing lots of web applications fairly quickly. There's an definite escape velocity however -- the learning curve is steep, so it really only makes sense if you are currently or planning on becoming a professional developer.

No, the MOV was the easter egg. It was a hidden file on a System CD.

Yes.
No wonder the universe sucks, it's implemented in Perl!
He said PIN Number (Personal Identification Number Number) and ATM Machine (Automatic Teller Machine Machine).
Not as good as the Windows WDM Driver Model.

A lame term describing IM Spam (unsolicited commercial messages delivered via instant messaging).
Worth noting that the CardBus slot has been replaced with a ExpressCard/34 slot.
Actually, Canon also uses Sony CCDs (perhaps not in all their lines, but clearly in some):

Too bad Sony makes many CCDs for Canon cameras....

A way around a DRM method? That's surprising... ;)

No, the article points out that his books have been released on Audio MP3 CD, and the links take you to the pages selling those CDs on Barnes & Noble.
No, you're missing the point, if the website author only wanted Google to show the first few lines they would only put that much in the RSS feed...

Man, I really hope this is a series of articles... I'd love to know how those Hoverboards in Back to the Future 2 worked!

Except RAW and TIFF are not equivalent.
