    Wouldn't setting your own .css file in IE's accessibility options work for this. Just set the .ani to something safe and that should override any website's settings.

  6. Workaround on Windows Vulnerability in Animated Cursor Handling · · Score: 0

    The accessibility options in IE allow you to specify your own CSS file. Just set the animated cursor in there to a known safe value and you are all good. Or download Firefox and Thunderbird.

  9. Re:ethics vs good manners on Ethical Questions For The Age Of Robots · · Score: 0

    That is when I tell Roomba to shut up or he can be smashed with my hammer. One thing we always have to remember is if we make robots, they are manufactured and they are property. As soon as some liberal pussies give robots any kind of rights or protection, we are on the path to being pwned by the bots.

    Having curly hair (on your head) does not prevent you from reproducing. Having same-sex partners does. Adoption and artificial insemination is a way around the genetic defect of homosexuality for them to feel like they have reproduced even though they have not.
    A genetic defect that prevents reproduction is severe, be it by sexual preference or by looking really ugly.

    The info on your pennies with the letter 'p' on them from here:
    In 1999 the Canadian Mint decided to experiment with 1 cent to 50 cent coins made from steel that was copper placed for the 1 cent, and nickle plated over copper plating for the 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent coins. Examples of all denominations were struck in 1999 but only as test tokens for vending machine companies to calibrate their machines too. About 20,000 of each denomination was struck, with most of them ended up in official mint sets of the coins that the mint sold to the public. 2000 saw first circulation strikes of plated coins (with the "P") with the issue of 5 cent pieces (the few 10, 25 and 50 cent coins known to exist are accidentally released and very rare). 2001 saw the official issues of other denominations begin to appear.

  18. Re:WAP 1 vs. 2 on WAP is Dead, Long Live WAP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Funny that comes up. I actually did that same thing a week ago with my SE T310. I smashed it against the coffee table though, not the wall. I put it back together but it wasn't working. My provider gave me a nice new phone to replace my "malfuntioning" unit without question. Just 3 weeks away from the warranty expiring too. WAP on my old phone never worked and I had to recreate the WAP settings almost every time I wanted to use it. My new phone doesn't seem to have any problems yet. Now I just need to find something useful to do with WAP until (if) hockey season starts.

  21. Re:/.'s vie for 'private' LOTR production casting on Celebrity Casting For LOTR · · Score: 0

    It would be impossible to make a film like that and have any kind of continuity. Each scene would have a completely different feel and the sets would all be different. Even if every effort was made to keep things similar it would never work due to the subtle colours and lighting that would be very noticeable on film. People might also notice that the actors change from scene to scene.

    Spyware will have no problem with the outbound access on the new firewall. Before you try to send outbound traffic on a Windows XP SP2 installation, just run this command: "netsh firewall set allowedprogram program = c:\%programname% name = %friendlyname% mode = ENABLE scope = ALL profile = ALL" and the firewall will let your app access the internet as easily as pre-SP2 firewall.
