Although several companies have come out with Web browser software and other technology to make images appear to pop off the screen, the Web largely remains a two-dimensional world.
Banner ads, popup ads... popoff ads... coming soon to a Sharp 3D monitor near you!
Lars Ulrich has already forgot what brought them to fame... bootlegs. I doubt Ulrich & co will take the above path in digital music since they're now well established, and don't need (or want) it anymore.
The only way I would have any sympathy for this guy would be if it was not made clear to him what was and was not confidential data.
He must be pretty much behind the 8-ball if he doesn't understand that schematics and other details regarding upcoming products are confidential until the company has launched it. (some details might still be confidential after the launch...) If he's not sure, why not ask before going ahead on posting it?
The spherical airship is filled with non-flammable helium and has no external gondola for crew. Instead, the pilots sit in an igloo-like cabin inside the sphere.
If it leaks, the pilot will get a rather squeeky voice.:)
1) Make something people want to download. 2) Add some hidden spyware in the product. 3) Sell tracking information to the big corporations and make $$$.
Here's another example of what they've been up to. In short, Tex9 (a small company which makes open source software) launched xtunes, but got a letter from Apple telling them to change the name... (sounded like iTunes) now it's known as sumi. (sounds familiar, right?:) )
Almost every object we own that uses electricity will be connected to the Internet in 2012, yet we will rarely be aware of this near-universal connectivity, because so much of the conversation will be machine-to-machine communication.
You'll no longer be surprised to get a call from the repair center at Sears or Maytag saying your washing machine is using too much hot water and needs adjustment -- information the washing machine has sent through the Net, without any action of your part, back to the factory where it was built.
Why isn't the machine smart enough to self-adjust?
I don't want my appliances on the internet. Sorry for sounding paranoid, but I don't want my household habits monitored by other people.
Is this a new corporate trend? I mean... they get together some of todays best demo artists to create great flash ads for them. All Asus & co have to do is to pay a couple of peanuts for the whole thing.
Just wonder if companies like IBM, Intel and Cisco will jump on to this trend of getting cheaper-than-shit quality ads to "jazz up" their company image...
Spammers won't go away, so you better start adapting your life on the net to avoid them. Sometimes you have to blame yourself, because after all... you put yourself in that situation.
Would you continue to hold this position if providers commonly added bandwidth caps?
Yes. As long as there are people who are willing to pay the spammers money to spam their message across the internet, spam will continue to exist. The professional spammers make millions of dollars each year on spamming... they can afford paying for the bandwidth. And laws won't make them stop either, because they'll just move their spamming business to some small country like Vanutu or Nauru, where the laws doesn't apply.
Don't you even resent the fact that spammers have made it impossible to post on Usenet with a legitimate e-mail address?
Of course I'm annoyed by it, but just like crime and terrorism, you have to adapt and try to avoid it. You wouldn't park your brand new car in a crime-infested neighborhood, right? You park it where you think it might be safe to park it.
Doesn't it piss you off that you have to be paranoid if some less-computer-savvy friend tells some web site to mail an article to you or sends you an online greeting card?
Maybe you should inform them about the risks or they need to learn it the hard way by getting you pissed.;) It's like real life, you weren't born with the knowledge that running around naked in the snow would make you sick, or that having unsafe sex might give you a deadly disease... You learned that either by trial-and-error or by getting informed. Same applies to the internet.
Don't you get annoyed that every e-mail address that you post, no matter for what reason, get spammed?
That's why you shouldn't post with your private address, but with an address that you don't care much about.
Blame the criminals, not the victims.

It's not the net's fault. Blame (or shoot) the spammer's.
Well, some people ask for it by using their personal email account for signing up on sites, posting on usenet etc. Use an email account for these purposes, and the personal email account for friends and family. I don't receive any spam on my personal email account.:)
The Brits has bought Duke Nukem's digital DNA from 3D Realms. "We needed people who could protect our women from the aliens. Therefore we'll clone a bunch of human embryos with Duke's digital DNA, and get us some superhumans." said the British Defense Secretary, Geoff Hoon.
Now you all know that 3D Realms has been marketing Duke Nukem's DNA instead of working on Duke Nukem Forever... Well, it's coming "When it's done"... *yawn*

you have to frequently reboot the oven... that would spoil the Thanksgiving dinner... :(

Now, if someone just could make a new video compression format that would allow us to view the latest movies on the old 64... ;)

Perhaps we'll see Microsoft buys or "borrows" the idea from Bandlink and incorporates this "nice" feature to the OS. More "added value" to Windows.
A man who fucks for 15 minutes before delivering the cream to the woman, result in a baby.
Therefor, a man who fucks for 5 minutes before delivering the cream to the woman, must result in triplets.
Of course, we're just talking about successful cases here... and I don't want to think about the poor guys who comes after 30 seconds...
While we're at this, why dont we string in a pipe for beer beside the cable?

all you have to do is think about b00bies...
;)
then they will start showing you ads with b00bies on them...
And then for a split of a second, you think about taking a dump, and you get a commercial with a woman cleaning her bum with Charmin toilet paper...
Well, some people actually like watching that...
Finland is the country were you might get a $103,600 speeding ticket for driving 25 km/h over the speed limit, so $20 for some music... no problem...

LOL! The two cops doesn't know English, right?! :D
Is it possible to look at the universe with, say, lynx?
;)
Lynx users have to look out their window at night to see the universe.

Some of us have been on Usenet since long before that meant we were "asking for it". That damage can't be undone.

It's not that hard to change email address...
