Interesting. I write some Swing code in my free time, I only recently learned of the existance of invokeLater(). I don't suppose there's a guide somewhere on how to write Swing code correctly? Or is it basically, "Use invokeLater() as much as possible in actionPerformed()."?
Yes, the Constitution can be amended. If the US government believes that some power is denied to them that should be newly allowed due to a change in technology and/or the world situation, they are free to attempt to amend the Constitution to make their actions legal. Of course, that would be an admission that it was unconstitutional in the first place. And, well, amending the Constitution was made purposely difficult. Of course, even if the secret subpeonas or whatever we are talking about is legal does not mean it is a good and just law.
After one or two degrees of separation, you will have a lot of people, but it is a mistake to assume no overlap. Of course, if that means you were off by a factor of 10 for your two degrees of separation argument, 120,000 is still a lot of innocent people to be spying on.
Odd, I've never had problems with SWT, but, yes, it can segfault because it is native code. If AWT or Swing actually had reasonable performance, than it would probably not exist. If you can implement Swing in a way that it runs fast, then please join the GNU Classpath project and do so.
No, it is just a dongle. The Revolution discs are DVD-sized. In fact, it sounds like they are nearly identical to DVDs (like the GameCube discs were nearly identical to mini-DVDs). Of course, similiar protection as the GCN discs so they do not work with regular DVD drives.
As another poster mentioned, I use 7-zip because it opens a lot of archive types, but also because it compresses.ZIP files better than WinRAR or WinZIP (admittedly, I only have tried the shareware version). As a note, KZIP does an even better job of making.ZIP files, but it is very slow on maximum compression.
Actually, there was an article in U.S. News a few months ago about terrorist orginiazations and traditional organized crime starting to more often be the same people because the terrorists need to get funding somehow. One of those activities is selling pirate materials. On the other hand, simply downloading the material and not paying for it is clearly not giving anyone any money; certainly not any terrorists. Also, although some pirated goods are definitely being sold to support terrorism, it would be difficult to determine how much (.1%? 1%? 10%? 90%? big difference).
Actually, I was a CompUSA recently and I saw a display for a Linksys AP/router with a button which was labeled that it auto-configured with default secure settings. I am not sure exactly what it did, but if something like that is standard on one brand, other brands will be forced to follow suit or appear unsecure (even though they probably all support essientially the same security features).
Which is why you need the proxied requests to be encrypted like Tor. All the ISP knows is that you are sending/recieving X amount of data and possibly that that data is being sent via Tor.
The custom screen DPI setting in Windows never went anywhere. I just found it in my XP set-up to be sure. How I understand it, applications don't need to know they are being scaled, just they will look better if there are vector graphics to scale rather than bitmaps. Vista (or OS X for that matter) would just tell the application to draw itself at, say, 100x100px and the graphics rendering engine would scale that up to maybe 200x200px. It would know how to scale up the standard GUI elements and regular text so they would still look nice. This scaling could either be done by window or for the whole screen. (Imagine always running your LCD at its native res, but being able to set the logical resolution lower.)
As to not make it sound like Apple has a monopoly on well-designed GUI back-ends, Vista will support the same sort of scaling in its final version, and it may or may not currently support it in betas.
I guess I am not all that familiar with the topic, but isn't the anime rated at least by Japan's rating system if not your country's? Sure it's a bit different (I think they use ratings like 14+, 16+, 18+), but it would still be informative. Does the localized packaging just not have those ratings, so there is no easy way for you to find them out when looking for which one to rent?
Windows XP runs fine on my P2-333 with 64MB of RAM. You just have to disable visual themes and it does not run any worse than Windows 2000 in my experience.
There are a few FireFox extensions for mouse guestures. Your problem could probably be solved by using one of them (I use "Mouse Guestures") and setting the minimum distance before it recognizes a mouse movement as a guesture to some high value (maybe 50px).
He typed "$25B:g" but I think he meant "$25B/g" (or maybe he meant it as a ratio, whatever), that is $25 billion per gram, which would be $250 million for 10 mg.
I have a feeling that your examples are more hard drive intensive than they are CPU-intensive. Having to share the hard drive with other apps will slow down your games. Also, can't compiling be done in multiple threads (and therefore multiple cores)?

Nah, they were just going by 3rd edition rules. ;-)

Uh, azureus used SWT (native widgets; same as Eclipse) last I checked... which was a long time ago.
Err... yeah, the UK is one country. Nevermind. -_-;;
This would be solved by a national database because England and Scotland are in the same nation.

Uh, isn't there a way to make a CSS block only apply to a specific website?
Maybe they have GPS chips on them broadcasting your location. ;)

That is a possibility. Hopefully if that is ever attempted, the American public will understand the importance of anonymous speech.

look good: follow whatever desktop look&feel theme the user has set.
