Berners-Lee had this to say about the honor: '
I am very proud to be British, it is great fun to be British and this award is just an amazing honour.'"
I am English, but I am not proud of it. Having considered the odds, I am aware that I am very lucky to have been born north of the poverty line at all, let alone to have escaped any of the countries that the Soviet Republic fucked up; some theocratic hellhole in the middle east; China, North Korea, etc etc. I'm relieved, glad, even, but not proud.:)
Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Aah, but you are not selling your copy of the software.
Nothing stops you selling the box with the CDs in it on ebay. The Steam EULA prevents you from selling your _account_, and you must agree with the Steam EULA to _subscribe_ to the Steam _service_.
The fact that a copy of HL2 is useless without a Steam subscription is merely an unfortunate consequence of the Steam New World Order.
What is the best way that I can ensure that the WAP I am connecting through is the WAP I believe it is?
I know XP users seem to have it worse--from reading the comments to this story, XP seems to associate with *any* available access point automatically... eep!
If my machine can't contact its AP, the interface is not brought up and I am safe. If the real signal from my AP is jammed, and an attacker spoofs it, then I am still reasonably safe because my machine will try to use a WEP key which the attacker will not have, unless they spent some time doing whatever analysis one needs to do to captured 802.11 traffic to obtain the WEP key.
I have been meaning to switch to WPA, but couldn't get wpa_supplicant to work at all a few months back, and so apathy triumphed over security.:)
Surely you can't make that judgement without having it installed and in daily use for at least six months. The bit rot has not had time to set in, the reviewer's machine probably didn't even get to Cruft Factor 1.

Dude. Don't AC reply to your own posts. It's bad taste.
Is that not the purpose of shell scripting? ;)
Give us the offset of your data and then we'll talk.
This is written for the kind of people who would never *think* of clicking on the "Bookmarks" menu in order to create a bookmark, etc.
Are yuo stupid?? They have EIGHT MEGABYTE BROADOMABANDS!! That's gotta be the fastest Interweb ever!
All I get then is "buy doohickey at dealtime.com" type sites. :)
It's fun to mail the quiz a http://www.mirrorshades.org/wc/archives/002813.php to Bush fanboys and watch them try to spin it. :)
Whoa, that JSON stuff practically _is_ an S-Expression.

What's old is new again.
Try Rhythmbox if you use Gnome, or Juk(?) if you like KDE.
You can compare the voting record of your MEPs to the contents of that letter here: http://www.ffii.org.uk/votes/swpat/UK/s.html.
Please write back to them, and ask them to explain any discrepancy!

Preamble
Just because some random web page says it is, doesn't make it so.
The actual files you download from Sourceforce say that the project is GPL.
Where's this information come from? Their COPYING file states that their code is released under GPL version 2.
How about: they are distributing a derivative work of Libtorrent, without releasing their source code as the GPL requires them to do so?
And their COPYING file!
What about it? I only communicate with my back using SSL.
They have really fought themselves into a corner with this one. WiMax is, by definition, the maximum amount of Wi that there can be.
So what will they call the next standard?
He's saying that unless you approach your comparison tests in a scientific fashion, then your tests are bunk. And he's right.

You can't fix stupidity with technology.

Even if their browser denied them access to a site if the certificate didn't check out, they would complain that THE INTARAWEB IS BROKED!!
Maybe once enough of them have their life savings stolen, the stupid gene will die out?

May I be the first to say, "if you don't like it, LEAVE!!!" :)
