This article...Makes it sound like Web 2.0 is some sort of basic human right. And that we should be up in arms when we hear about people being deprived of it. Web 2.0 is a jumble of technologies, many of which are not very well defined or secure. Go ahead and bypass your IT department so you can roll out the latest and greatest buzzword. I doubt that will be a very sustainable process in the long term.
I think you are making some unfounded assumptions about how easy it is to get guns illegally, and what kind of guns they would be when you found them.
I think you are perhaps imagining some sort of evil underworld bristling with high caliber automatic assault weapons. In truth, the majority of illegally obtained guns used in crimes are eventually traced back to a legal sale by a licensed gun shop. Chances are very good that had Cho not been able to buy a handgun from a gun shop, he would bought a handgun from someone who bought a handgun from a gun shop. Not much difference there, really.

If Righi really was arrested as part of this scenario and intends to defend himself in court, I'd like to contribute to his defense fund. But these days anyone will cough up a hairball of a story on their blog to make a buck or two. Is there any way to see an actual arrest record online so we can see he's not making this story up? Or can someone in Ohio go physically check?
I like the wild stab at blaming Google's "simplistic" homepage as being the cause of their lack of customer satisfaction. The quick-to-load, non-headache inducing simple Google homepage is one of the reasons that drew me in to Google, and is one of the reasons that keeps me coming back. But maybe I'm just a geek that way and other people want their homepages to look like a neon strip mall.
My company works on contract for major providers like Sprint and Motorola. What I hear over and over again from employees from those companies is that their profit margins are extremely thin due to market pressure from competitors. The heat is on to keep rates low and provide 99.998% network uptime. Providers dump huge amounts of money in to backbone R&D (remember, the US covers a lot of landmass) and don't have much capital left over for cool innovations on the end-user phone.
It should not be possible to ``synthesize'' the referer. Your browser should protect the referer header and make sure it's valid for you. So if you're visiting http://www.shadyhackerswebsite.com/ that contains an IFRAME which loads http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/transfer_money.pl?to =hacker@shady@shadyhackerswebsite.com&amount=10000 .00 >, your browser should enforce that the referer is http://www.shadyhackerswebsite.com/. If your browser does not protect your referer, and lets http://www.shadyhackerswebsite.com/ ``synthesize'' it before the IFRAME loads, it's a problem/bug with your Web Browser.
vim is an editor that can be used as an ide. Emacs is an ide that can be used as an editor.
I can honestly recommend vim for use on every platform it supports, which is pretty much all of them, including amiga.
The only warning I would give is: bring patience with you. vi and vim do not become powerful until you become proficient at the keyboard commands, the modal system, and the command line commands. vim has a menuing system, but if you are a menu-only type of guy, why subject yourself to a new set of menus?
If you do not love and believe in vi's modal editing enough to learn it, use another editor.
The word "definition" does not apply only to images!!!! Has the HD marketing crazy really rotted so many brains?
If you don't believe me, maybe you'll believe Webster?
definition
b (2) : clarity especially of musical sound in reproduction
Even this less audio-centric definition of definition should be directly applicable to audio:
definition
4 a : the action or the power of describing, explaining, or making definite and clear
Next you'll be telling me I can't call my Certifices of Deposit at my bank CDs because THAT ACRONYM IS ALREADY TAKEN. Use your brains a little people!!
If you don't want people seeing your junk, you don't hang your junk out your trunks when you go to the mall.
If you don't want people seeing your junk online, don't hang your junk out on myspace where everyone can search for it and see it.
Instead of government protecting people from the bad decisions they make, how about we let society learn and advance to the point where people understand what the internet is, and how it can be used to benefit, and to harm; and let that awareness grow.
Just like kids are taught to look both ways before crossing the street, this needs to be something taught and passed along as a public safety issue by society, rather than brought down upon the people by the government.
I'm glad Hitachi decided to run this by me first, before bringing these extended-life batteries to market. Just schlepping longer-lasting batteries on the market like that could be a bad idea. I mean, some people really like it when their devices die on them mid-week.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
1) Create automated system which 'accidentally' blacklists honest sites obstensibly to relieve load on Google spider
2) ???
3) 'Google Professional Services' analyzes 'honest' site for problem areas, provides personalized recommendations to 'honest' site's webmaster about what changes are necessary to stay out of blacklist. 'GPS' marks 'honest' site for immediate 'reindexing.' Assuming GPS recommendations were followed, site moves out of blacklist quickly.
4) Profit!
multiplayer will never die for many genres because, until there is a major leap forward in computer artificial intelligence, it will always be more engaging, challenging and satisfying to compete against a human controlled avatar than a computer controlled avatar. and in fact, now that I think it about it, it will probably always be that way. why? because when computer AI is worse than human, humans will be more fun. when computer AI is better than humans, it will be impossible to beat and in many cases people will write it off as a sisyphean task.
The real problem here is not Gates' comment, but the public perception that a game which is targeted at girls somehow insults the game. Come on. This is 2007. Girls' games can be fun too.
'If you are criminalizing possession then you are giving police inquisitorial powers to come into your house and see what you've got, now we didn't have this in the past.'
There are already things that are illegal to possess. I don't see how adding another thing to that list somehow now grants law enforcement scary inquisitorial powers. As far as I can tell, the only thing that grants law enforcement inquisitorial powers is actually granting law enforcement inquisitorial powers.

Not just any graffiti, 8-bit graffiti. Oh stop being such a grinch, it was a cool project.
1) Liberals are more likely to smoke pot
2) Pot smokers are more likely to sit around the house
3) People who sit around the house are more likely to play video games
4) People who play video games are more likely to have better hand-eye coordination
5) ???
6) Profit!

They should name the baby shark "Jesus." I think that would be kind of funny.

Don't mice's teeth already regrow... uh, like, naturally and constantly?

I thought encyclopedias had "entries," not "stories." Perhaps this is the source of the OP's confusion? ;-)

If you can't measure buzz, how can you intentionally create it?
If you can't intentionally create it, how can you intentionally sustain it?
If you can't intentionally sustain it, how can you reasonable expect it to predict it will continue?
If you can't predict it will continue, how can you claim that it will?
If you can't claim that it will, how can you claim that Microsoft should be worried? =P
Some jobs are boring, unstimulating, and hectic. And there's nothing that can be done about it!
