/me smells a troll "most of the music the RIAA churn out sucks, so why should I pay for it" Simple: Pay for it and listen, or don't pay and don't listen. If you claim that it sucks anyway, then you won't want to listen to it, and don't need to download it.
I just did. Was something supposed to happen?:) It does seem a bit of an odd name... Let's rename/. to "big, green, technology news site" and the GameCube to "small black, purple, or other coloured cube to play games on".
OK, it's very offtopic, and I expect it to get moderated that way, but believe it or not, forum at aagames dot co dot uk was getting about 20 spam messages a day. For fun, I clicked/e-mailed the unsubscribe instructions. Believe it or not, it now gets no spam. We changed the addy anyway, but amazingly our unsubscribe links _WORKED_./me checks "No Karma Bonus";)
Except they are reserved tlds - which will never be put into action, as far as I can see... e.g. you may enter "piss@off.test" as an e-mail address. example.(com|net|org) are the only reserved domain names.
Damn, I'm replying to a post which is a week old... anyway... I don't know how it works in Ireland, but I know I'm leaving school this year - school ends at 16 in England.
Yeah... I think they should stop trying to make themselves a scripting language for everything. They should concentrate on the web, not ncurses or Qt... PHP wasn't designed for it. Think of the UNIX philosophy - one tool for each job. I was going to comment on this too, then saw you already had;).
When did you last use it/on which system? Stable builds are fine for me (Win2K, WinXP, Slackware), and if you expect beta/alpha/nightly builds to be 100% stable, you're mistaken.
-Application allows user to upload a file (attachment, image, etc) somewhere into the webroot.
Another problem with this - make sure that if you need uploads, that you filter out all.s and/s. Maybe even ~s. One alpha I know of was able to be exploited by this by calling yourself "../index" which would create the file../index.php, where../ =/.
Interesting observation... Of course, the last point in your message (with regards to US courts) seems to have a fairly simple answer if you count recent slashdot stories;). Then again, if you look at recent slashdot stories, Windows BSODs all the time;).
I _REALLY_ shouldn't bite, but......Oh look, I can get much higer resolutions on my PC! Oh look, keyboard/mouse settings for FPSs (far better than using a controller...)! Oh look, the ability to apply patches (and that includes ones which add extra features, like football pitches in Black & White)!
Except - of course - where IE acts retarded. For example, with CSS text sizing - without a doctype it's one size too big, and on IE5 it's too big with a doctype.
Thinking about this... When I started using Linux, I was lost. I did _NOTHING_ via CLIs; I searched for GUIs for everything. I had no idea how to even extract a tar/gzip file via the CLI. I couldn't use vim (obviously:P). I used the GUIs to help me get into the basics. Eventually I learned the "advanced" ways of doing things, and used them all the time. But making things like what people already know does help them to migrate.
What I think would be a good idea would be to have something like Xpde which slowly bit-by-bit over a set time period "morphs" into GNOME or something like that. That way users wouldn't be shocked by all of the differences, but they would migrate to the "Linux" way of doing things (well, GNOME or KDE or whatever:P). Maybe if there were hints telling users what happened (say a friendly "tooltip" saying "Your task bar has changed in X, Y and Z"), and it changed slowly enough this could work.
Bear in mind that the watchdog "article" was basically: "I let my daughter click on this link in some spam which said she'd won a PS2. It went to a porn site. [blah blah blah] ISPs should do more to stop this, they aren't doing anything!!!" "I think it's the ISPs fault. They ought to stop spam. I'm sure they have some foolproof way to get rid of it, but of course they have no need to. It probably makes them money" And stuff like that. When watching it I thought... "IDIOTS!!!"

I always thought it meant "one who masturbates" ;-).
Yeah, I temporarily forgot that, for the purposes of this ;). /me glances at his GC.

And I can't be arsed to list any more reasons...
True - but many people would consider that "broken" - after all, it's not much good if noone except IE users can read the content!
Forgot to add to the previous comment - I mean as in "small" and "x-small", not other forms.
Except - of course - where IE acts retarded. For example, with CSS text sizing - without a doctype it's one size too big, and on IE5 it's too big with a doctype.

Of course, what would I know about this?

You used Linux utils to analyse a Windows program? You have too much time ;).
(I know, it's on a share for Windows boxes...)
Wait... so you've rebooted whilst waiting for it to start? ;-).
