Try explaining that to your grandmother. That's how hard it will be to explain it to your boss as they have security throw you out. Large companies have absolutely zero tolerance.
2 different accounts? Try having a work address that is hosted by Gmail and a separate personal Gmail. Then try using any Google services such as youtube. Completely impossible unless you use 2 separate browsers.
THIS. Why, why, why is it so difficult to manage accounts?
I'm sure Google would say that they need to be able to manage each person with a single, dedicated account. However, that doesn't explain why they still offer their services to the anonymous masses, and it doesn't take into account your work situation. It also doesn't cover the "me and girlfriend use the same computer off-and-on all day long -- bouncing back and forth between accounts" problem.
Copyright isn't absurd the way software patents are.
Pretty much everyone, including OSS software developers, desire the benefits of copyright. The way that the MPAA/RIAA goes about enforcement is definitely out of control, but the fundamental issue is okay.
Software patents, on the other hand, are (at least) well in the the grey area surrounding "what should be patentable". A business process, a mathematical formula, a procedure, an idea? How ethereal can something be and still be someone's property?
The MAFIAA are trying to change the rules to suit their own interests. Patent trolls, on the other hand, are functioning just fine with the rules the way they are.
According to the brief, she is the founder of www.tara.org. Can't find anything that states what the tweet contained, but I assume it was something that criticized her role as a Buddhist leader...or something like that.
I'm pretty sure McCain's campaign pre-dated the "Tea party" by a long shot. If I remember correctly, The Tea party movement began after Obama took office and started working on universal health care. They focus on cutting government spending as a way to keep dark-skinned people poor without appearing racist.
Based on past experience, I'm pretty sure that Activision really doesn't get it. I'm sure that the "reinvention" will include a whole line of expensive new instruments that you will have to buy, with a game that lasts for exactly one Christmas season before fading into obscurity. The kind of attention to detail that kept gamers interested in Street Fighter for almost two decades is something that I doubt Activision values as a publisher.
Scientists are bad at the gym? Is that a stereotype? Never heard that before. I know some marathon-running, rock-climbing scientists that would probably take issue with that.
"The prosecutor in the case has insisted that the defendant would not be forced to disclose her passphrase, but only to enter the passphrase into a computer to decrypt the drive."
I can see that there is a difference between forcing the disclosure of the password and being able to read something that is already decrypted, however I can't see how that wouldn't still be self-incrimination. I assume the police would either bring her to the evidence room and tell her to enter the passphrase, or they would simply demand that she deliver an un-encrypted copy of the drive. Either way they are forcing her to give up evidence that may be used to incriminate. This seems to be a seriously frightening precedent to set.
They would never be able to take someone accused of murder and say, in effect: "look, we KNOW you did it, we just lack all the evidence needed to convict. You are now ordered to show us every place you visited on the day in question, including where the body is hidden."
I'm wondering who these enterprises are. In my experience they all use IE, and old versions of IE at that. At my company, I am 100% sure that we would still be using IE6 if it was still supported by 3rd party tools. Instead, we have IE7...
Resident Evil games have always been designed for replay. You can restart from the beginning, or replay any level, at any time. As you progress, you get to start the levels with all the equipment you've acquired. So, original owners will be able to start over any time they wish. The difference is that they won't be able to grind their way into the best weapons and outfits a second time.
So much hand-wringing is going on over this silly Firefox thing. Personally, I believe that the faster release cycle is a very good thing, needed to give users quicker access to new features. However, the way they are going about it is wrong, and clearly inspired by a "version-bump war" with chrome and others. They should have released 4.1 instead of 5.0. Major bumps should be reserved for architecture changes. That way, plug-ins will still work.
That being said, why would Mozilla continue to support 4.0? 5.0 is obviously a minor update to 4.0, and can be considered the most recent patch. Are we really so upset that some of our plugins have temporarily been disabled? Why would corporate clients be relying so heavily on 3rd party plugins that are not currently developed?
It's hot outside. Go find some air conditioning and chill out.
If you live near a densely populated area, you could ditch the cable, get over-the-air HDTV, and use a do-it-yourself timeshifting solution using a PC. Combined with Netflix, you'd be golden. If I lived alone, this is what I would do.
Slashdot Mirror
About the same time I saw any meaningful web development targeting that tool.

I expect Slashdot to not get me fired, thanks.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

This. SO MUCH THIS. I'd +1 you if I had mod points. That article provided absolutely nothing even close to a coherent thought.

Perhaps your ISP is serving you cached files.
I don't want a subscription, I want to just pay-per-view - like DVD rentals but without the hassle of going to the shop or waiting for the postman.
So far no-one wants to take my money except the pirates.
Shame.

Firefox 6 is so out of date, my parents will probably use it when it comes out.
Before you assume anything about net neutrality being deprioritized, remember that this is business as usual for government agencies.

I thought Google was already going with their GoogleTV offering.

Conclusion incorrect. Perhaps you should re-take your stats class.
