Apple: Why do you have to make it hard to just download the file? I don't like watching video in my browser, and you obviuosly don't care too much if I download it.
and it doesnt even tell you what it actually does.
Yes it does:
"We have gone great lengths in making the NeoPwn user friendly when it comes to performing many of the necessary tasks in automating system controls and penetration tests."
That means it does systems control and penetration testing. And of course it's a phone as well.
The European Union does not have a common penal code. So Wikipedia is sort of misleading on this point.. The only example in the article is Germany, and Germany!=EU.
You should probably look at the album cover and decide for yourself whether it's child pornography or not. Here it is.
It is a naked child in a sexually suggestive position. That makes it child porn by definition, no matter what American "free speech" cultists say.
I disagree. This does not fit the definition of pornography (from the American Heritage Dictionary, and others): "Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal."
The primary purpose of this picture is clearly not "to cause sexual arousal," but to illustrate the lyrics of the album's title song, and of course to get attention (which would make the purpose "marketing.")
Why wouldn't I use the site's own search tool if it was any good at all? The fact that I'm clamoring for an alternative is only evidence that they are sucking.
Getting a good search tool on your site demands a _lot_ of work and could be very expensive. It's a reason they basically all suck. Even huge sites like Wikipedia's search box is quite bad compared to Google.
What does a single mismanaged IT-project in an EU country has to do with anything?
This project is a joint venture between universities, private companies and broadcasters and the TFA is about how they got a government grant from the EU.
FTFA: "P2P-Next is based on a technology called Tribler, developed at the Delft University of Technology. [..]
The P2P-Next team successfully pitched the EU for funding as part of the 7th Framework project, designed to encourage Europe-wide cooperation and technical excellence. The four years of funding will be used to develop a number of enhancements to Tribler, covering live P2P streaming, an improved user interface, inbuilt friend/taste recommendations, and much more.
Well, It's _being_ used as a web search engine: I actually work for a company that host both a web search engine, and several European countries' online phone directories running FAST.
Is anyone else reminded of Freakonomics
?
In this book, the same drop in crime in the nineties is explained by Roe vs. Wade leading to less unwanted children being born.
"costs us" ? Are you suggesting that you are "cleansing your mind" of thoughts of 4x4s and women chasing you instead of going to work?
If so, you appear to be quite stupid and will soon starve to death (or at least lose your apartment..)
Most people know very well what commercials are for, and most people doesn't mind being manipulated in regards to what soap or painkiller to buy..
What do you suggest as an alternative to advertising, by the way? A government-mandated ban on brand-names, or a law against talking favorably about products? Both?
Advertising is clearly no challenge to democracy at all. But a threat to democracy and freedom is people who want to limit freedom of speech.
what pisses me off about the whole thing is that artist get to kepp LESS of the retail price of their music! An artist earns substantially less from an iTunes album than a CD.
The "letters from our website" stuff is added to the "2006 expanded edition" and not really a part of the book.
The book itself has great points and is thoroughly researched, though i agree it could've been longer (I loved it and was craving for more when i'd finished it).

I use Ubuntu on my work laptop, and usually turn it off at night for security and energy reasons..
He's asking for FOSS, and you give him M$ ?? AND it gets you a +5 Interesting.. *Sigh*
Score:3, Funny ??? Is this one of those "it's funny 'cause it's true" things?

No on-access scanner doesn't mean you have to scan manually. Scheduled scan is the good, old-fashioned way of doing things..
Don't forget gas prioes!

It's like with drugs: You can't get arrested just for walking around with a sign that says "Drugs for sale."
Interesting.. I guess this is what's called Constant Angular Velocity
There are good reasons why no car but the DeLorean hgas used stainless steel for it's body.. But more and more cars use aluminum...

Actually, the pot-thing is less of a problem here in Norway. It's expensive but easily available.. *tokes*
