Is there some sort of standardisation for keyboard layouts? I have two good keyboards I can't use due to messed up key placement, and every time I go to a store I ask "Are all the keys where they're supposed to be?" and they always assure me there are, but no such luck.

Don't forget removal of the right windows key in newer keyboards. I guess it's their way of paying us back for learning to use it.
Why not have a little button (or maby a switch) on the card that renders the card inert when depressed. That will go a long way to increase security and make people feel a lot safer.
Campers the lot of them. The only time they ever peek out of the bushes is to distract you while the rest of the team bombs the site and it' "wildlife wins" soon after thet.
Look, there on the Desktop
Is it IE?
Is it firefox?
No it's Opera Man!!!
Faster than loading notepad
More Powerful than IE
Able to zoom full pages in a single scroll wheel turn.
Legal mode (IANAL):
That would be true if not for clause 1542A or something in the contract about trojans, worms and other programs with viral behaviour and the ISP's right to cut you off.
Moral mode:
That would be true except you're wreking all the others client's (and your own) DNS requests without even knowing it.
There's ads and ads. On one site of the spectrum there's google's non-intrusive text easy-on-the-eye ad I'm happy to click on because there's a 40% chance it's relative enough to my search for me to be interested in it. On the other side we have a fanfare music playing flashing red and yellow flash ad of 8 MB loading before any other content on the page that actually extends to get under your cursor so you click it instead of the intended link.
To any product owner that ever had his product appear on an ad that was in the latter category: Advertising includes psychology. You advertise beer by showing it next to pretty girls, target likes girls so target will like beer. You advertise beer by frustrating the target he'll see popups flashing before him next time he lays his eyes on beer. AdBlock is doing you a service, go donate.
This is exactly why it's not going to work with content over the net, because of the Skip ahAD (TM) plugin for media player classic that downloads an xml file that has timespamps a given file and automatically seeks past the ads.
Yes, but now we can keep the Cthulu-worshipping Illuminati chiefs of the FBI from reading our minds and our cell phone battery from dying!

You can easily spot a compiler that inserts backdoors to several specific programs, or to several blulds of the same program. Aside from his md5s not matching it's about x10 in size.

Oooo I love a good conspiracy theory. Let's make a list of the possibilities.
1) VoIP technology is actually part of the lost technology of ancient Greeks who in turn got it from the technologically advanced aliens that were the greek pantheon. This knowledge ws lost to all but an obscure tribe in South Africa that took care of an injured travelling wise man some 2500 years ago. 2) Having seen the decline of their telecommunications organization due to the expantion of VoIP the South African goverment will eventually discover time travel and travel back in time to stop its development. 3) Typo 4) 2 AND 3 : The typo will be made by the man who enters the temporal coordinates into the time machine. He wanted to travel to 2005.
Let me first say I wish for spammer's excrushiatingly painful death that all spammers deserve as much as the next guy. That having been said, you're missing the point. It's illegal (for the other guy) to burn your house down and that's why it's illegal for him to threaten you. It's perfectly ok for anyone to say "give me a thousand bucks or I'll sue you for selling me too hot coffee" because it's within my rights to sue you.
Imagine for example someone finding a security hole in an operating system. He goes to Mic^H^H^H the company who made it and says "fix it or I'll tell everyone how to exploit it". He may even ask money for it. It's his right to tell or not tell. Is he extorting by judging his decision on any factor?
In short. "Pay or i'll spam"=Bad. "Pay or I'll tell how to spam"=Unethical up the wazoo but legal
Evil cop wants people's internet logs. He spams everyone with links to child porn and descriptions like "win a free iPod mate". People click on it instantly commiting the crime by accessing the material without knowing what it is. Evil cop demands logs and gets them...
If against spam deface or buy ads in popular sites.
Ok, how about this:
If I report a child pornography site to a hoster is he allowed to judge if the content actually is child pornography or is he required to report the owner's details to the authorities regardless of the content?
Microsoft would allow the "Windows key"
You mean the "Tux Key".
To all linux distro makers: Please consider including little stickers to apply over former said key to turn it into latter said key.
software that once installed and launched, enables the user to connect his or her computer....
"Enables" is the operative word here. All lower-level networking software do just that. Don't look now Cisco but IOS falls into this category too. So do all network adapter drivers and firmware, tcp-ip and ppp stacks of any OS unlucky enough to support internet connectivity (Let's see if this will work: Microsoft, stop them:,they're trying to make windows illegal!).
What I'm trying to say is will all these big corporations stand by and allow a law that will make their main products illegal?

There's been a bigger one though so it's not as cool.
