It's a relatively powerful system for what it does. P4 2.53Ghz, Hauppauge PVR-350, 1Gig Ram, 300 GB sata drive, and a NVidia 6600GT (parts left over from upgrading my desktop to an amd64 PCI-e system.)
Not to flame a fire (you are correct of course) but that's not the original posters point. If anything, you add to his point. Programs written in assembly (and other low level languages) were very simple, but that's because it was a monumental undertaking to write them.
Just because CS1 students are expected to write programs that were once at the pinnacle of computer science doesn't mean that programming the same applications in assembly is any easier.
Just wanted to point out the obvious...

I'm actually glad. Variety is the spice of life, as they say. If I only see the 8+ posts on the FP, I begin to full under the impression that Slashdot is too kind in their reviews.
Right... but the problem isn't that you can't do it manually. The problem lies in the fact that all the automatic adjusters became useless and antiquated. And what if people forget to turn them off - or, more likely, forget to turn some of them off, since lots and lots of devices have this feature.
Kind of neat. My only comments thus far is that if you "discard" a window (fold it all the way over so that it dissappears off the screen) there's no easy way to get it back without dropping the object your dragging first. Similarly, it's too easy to folder over too many windows, by accident.
This would seem to have more worth if it was done with a plugin/toolbar. Right now, it requires that I switch to my address bar, type in yubnub.org, wait for it to load, switch to the form input, and type in my command.
Much better if one could skip straight to the command part.
That is also mentioned in the article. The article also states that this 96ft wave was calculated, via modeling, to have reached 131ft. However, the reason this wave takes the trophy is that it is the largest wave "recorded by instruments" to date. They even mention a mammoth 558ft "underwater" wave measured in 2001.
I'd like to agree, but what about cumulative? Just because P2P is diversified doesn't mean it's outweighed by iTunes. They put iTunes at 1.7 million houses - I would bet the P2P total far exceeds that. It's the cumulative total that really counts.
Fine, but its not bs. If a phisher opens up a frame and starts reading data you type into it, it's a problem. Yeah, an obervant/intelligent/aware individual might notice the address bar doesn't match, but lets not give your average use too much credit.
The problem is not offsite graphics. The problem is controlling one webpage with an offsite webpage. This should never ever ever ever be allowed for obvious reasons. From TFA: "As a result, an attacker could insert content into a frame on a trusted Web site." (read that: "a website can modify the contents of a trusted website".)
There is absolutley no reason anyone should ever use this exploit for legitimate reasons. Yes, I can think of a few times it would be great if one website could help someone fill out another websites forms - but its not neccessary. If someone really wants to do that, they should attain permission and do it via GET or POST vars, or some serverside communication.
A website should still have control over what page is being shown in its frames, but not over the content of those pages directly.
'Cause I never have 2 windows open at the same time.
Unless they use JS to pop one up (and yes, there do exist scripts which will circumvent the built in popup blocker.) I suppose if you have JS and Flash disabled you all set in that case.

Ooh, good advice. Someone who actually understood the question too. Thanks :)
So you don't have to give up your first born:

It's called an "editorial". Notice the sub title in read the reads "Comment"? Editorials have been since the beginnings of journalism. Sheesh.
X to the Maxxx^x!
Honestly, how many x's before it's too Xtreme.
In case anyone was confused by the lack of the line break.
Geographic Information Systems (I believe)
It's basically maps - elevation, road, land cover, buildings, that sort of stuff.
I just saw this on the page: http://www.yubnub.org/documentation/describe_insta llation/

Magnetic dust would be a dipole. Polarize your robot one way and the dust would simply flip over. No positive or negative charge to it.
You're thinking more along the lines of ionic/electric charge.
Their legal department doesn't seem to understand nor trust that concept.

But it's still in Beta! Google would never release a service without taking it out of Beta first, of course.
