I read TFA, I also read your comment, where you seem to equate being fired from your job (as a contractor) for saying something that upsets your coworkers to being taken away in black bags.
I think any manager that resolves a situation like this by firing someone is probably only qualified for government work, but losing one's job and losing one's liberty are two entirely separate things. The government investigation concerning his liberty seemed to be handled responsibly and come to the correct conclusion which was to file no charges.
The shop have the right to tell him to leave their property, and if he refuses that would be trespass. Did they do this? It is not a crime to be on a shop's property that is open to the public, and to use their service which they make open to these people, just because I don't abide with whatever rules they have set.
The article specifically says that he was asked to leave but came back anyway. It was only then that he was arrested.
The closest to real numbers that I know of is a black box test that Anandtech did a little while ago. The chip they had was supposedly the high end but not extreme Core 2.
Personally, I use emusic. I never cared much for pop anyway, so with emusic I get music I like in a format I can use for about $0.25/track. I'd have to really like a song to get it from iTunes have gotten used to those terms.
And you sir are at the other end of the bell curve we'll call 'sucker.' You've spent hundreds of dollars on music that you're going to have to burn track by track to CD just to play on a device/program that's not made by Apple. I suppose you could use something to crack the DRM, but it must feel pretty bad to spend hundreds of dollars only to have to break the law to use what you just bought.
Of course, paying Steve Jobs gives some people a religious sort of high. To each, his own.
The Cell from IBM, Rock/Niagra/T1 from Sun and the XBox's CPU all throw away out of order execution to fit more cores on the CPU. Depending on what you're trying to do, this can be good (web servers, database servers), or bad (games *ahem*).
Meanwhile, the hospital used some old-fashioned backup systems. When electronic file transfers didn't work, nurses ran the files up and down hallways. When key cards wouldn't work, they stood guard and inspected ID badges themselves.
No patients were harmed, but First Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Bartlett said this kind of attack could easily endanger lives.
It's not illegal until a judge declares it illegal (and all the various appeals play out). We won't know in a legally binding sense whether or not those wiretaps were illegal for years. The GP was right. Right now the EFF is suing AT&T for doing something the government told it to that they don't like. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately in certain cases) doing things the EFF doesn't like isn't illegal. We'd be better served if they helped the ACLU sue the NSA for the illegal wiretaps, then went after AT&T.
As a result, players are asking anyone who wants to join a group to type one or two sentences in English. If the sentences contain spelling or grammar mistakes, the player is rejected.
That's not to get rid of chinese speakers, it's to get rid of 13 year olds
Well, in terms of volume the XBox 360, PS3, and Revolution are going to get the Power architecture in a heck of a lot more homes than Apple ever could have.
By media compatibility, I mean how well the drive does on different brands of media. This varies greatly between drives, and is one of the most important pieces of information you can have to get the most out of your drive.
Never trust a DVD writer review that doesn't take into account burn quality and media compatibility. That's how DVD drives differentiate themselves today.
Well, it's not so much that I forgot, it's that I was talking about my own personal browsing experience. I don't use flashgot, primarily because I've never run into a situation where firefox's built in download support has seemed insufficient. To be quite honest, I rarely notice whether I'm downloading a file via ftp or http these days. Your mileage of course may vary, and the popularity of flash got certainly suggests that there are cases that firefox doesn't handle vary well.
Sure, firefox doesn't handle the corner cases of ftp as well as a stand alone client, and if I'm logged onto to someone's personal ftp site I'll use a standalone client out of courtesy. Likewise I'd probably use a regular bittorrent client if I were worried about my share ratio at Bob'z Warez Emporium[tm] (all warez emporiums mentioned here are fictional, any resemblence to actual warez emporiums is purely coincidental). If I'm downloading a game demo off of some developer's site, then I think a firefox plugin would be sufficient.
Well, that depends entirely on the type of bittorrent download. As bittorrent becomes more mainstream, I think it's likely that we're going to see more and more instances where content providers use bittorrent for downloads and then use their own considerable bandwidth to seed it. Even now I don't expect to spend much time downloading a well seeded torrent.
Also, bittorrent deals quite well with peers coming on and offline, so closing the browser would merely pause the download. That people often have firefox open will help keep files seeded as well.
It's not perfect, but I'd use it for quick downloads. I'd certainly use it more often than the firefox defrag plugin;).
Why is this impressive, again? My browsing and file-sharing are completely separate tasks, and the integration is as logical as putting file system defragmenting in a sidebar.
This would be a good analogy if the only way you could defragment your hard drive was by clicking on links in firefox. When I click on an ftp link in firefox, firefox doesn't launch my ftp client. Why should clicking a torrent link be any different? To the average user, they're both just download links.
Well, hooray for you, young go-getter. The thing is, your go-get'em attitude is not normal among high school students today, nor was it common among high school students of your day. How do most kids learn calculus? If you think the answer is anything other than "they're lucky if they make it past algebra II" then you are sadly out of touch. How do most kids get a BS in 2.5 years? Well, they don't do that either.
If you're as smart as you think you are, then we could probably lock you in a closet with an encyclopedia and you'd find a way to learn something. The bulk of America's youth need qualified teachers more than anything else right now. They need them a heck of a lot more than they need another way to download pictures of that stupid emo band they like.

So let's see...
1. Guy makes webcomic talking about going postal
2. Someone gets spooked, calls the Feds
3. Feds investigate, find nothing, no charges are filed
Yeah, we're turning into a real fscking police state here.

Alright, bypassing most of a site's advertising... :-P

Yeah, nothing says good internet neighbor like bypassing a site's advertising when linking on a high traffic site....

No, really, Quitting is an extra feature. I mean, who would want to quit?
