This is not true. Windows Automatic Update still works on illegitimate copies of XP. SP3 would have gotten blown down regardless. I have seen unlicensed copies receive SP3 and IE8. All friends of mine of course....not me....ahem...no.
"building devices to collect unencrypted police broadcasts and relay them through twitter".
He's building a common police scanner? Anything of interest will be encrypted. Regular Toronto Police Service is analog though but hardly anything that can be pickup up from them will be sensitive. I suspect the explosives on hand had way more to do with it. He may be smart but that was a dumbass move.
I felt bad for him. I don't get kicks "herd laughing" at random strangers. The internet is littered with the corpses of kids on the wrong side of internet meme's. What is the point? And I was no nerdy kid at school either. I was a big kid who could throw a punch to the face of any punk that tried to punk me. Some people ask to be made fun of and deserve it for their attention whoring ways, but Star Trek kid was just lost in his own imagination which unfortunately got forwarded to a billion people.
As a beer lover myself I agree wholeheartedly with this. But seems like a whole new category of hard liquor to me. I am not much into hard liquor but would be interested in trying a shot of beer. I don't think the idea is to pound these back on a hot summer day.
Um no. If government bought it that would surely be its death. Technology changes too quickly and government moves too slow. Something else will come along, do it better, and everyone will abandon it. Then we will all own a multibillion dollar website which has become worthless.
That was a great piece of investigative journalism. Banks have accepted that all their customers are infected and gawd knows that every last home router is insecure. So not only are you infected but you don't even know it. Run for the hills.
I know we are looking at cutting back the channels a bit. We wouldn't get rid of our dish entirely but do we really need HGTV and MTV? Going with the basic channels will save us $30/month approximately. Anything I miss I can probably find online somewhere if I really want it.
Then bring on the new and revolutionary platform for accessing "the cloud", because I don't plan on ditching my pc or notebook for some crappy smartphone or tablet anytime soon.
I think the system works fine. Far left and far right each have their extreme viewpoints and the give and take tug of war results in a free market where laws are passed to prevent horrific abuses but works well for the majority of people who use their freedoms wisely. The trouble really begins when one side lets their guard down and lets the other run amok.
I was thinking of this very thing the other day. I was on the net long before any of my friends and family even knew what the internet was. Then when they finally joined in they used it mostly as a social tool, where I use it mostly as a learning/hobby tool. I have a FB account but it is spartan and have very little info about myself and I might check it once a week or so. But I spend hours on the net every week just using it for my own fun and learning. I understand why they like the social aspect I just personally have very little interest in socializing outside of my tight circle of friends. The real joy is learning new things. I laugh when people say how technically adept the younger generation is. The majority of them are just as clueless about the pipes and the infrastructure as their parents. They just aren't afraid to use their narrow scope of apps (twitter/fb) on their mostly malware infested notebooks.
Don't be stupid. Maybe you posted as AC because you know you are full of it. The big sites make money hand over fist because they offer a straight game. They stand to lose way more if they don't. The small shady sites maybe, but Pokerstars and FullTilt are fine. These are legitimate enterprises that run legally in many countries.
Thanks, I will check it out. I don't live in a big city (limited choices for audiologists) and they were never presented to me as an option. I am quite sure I am paying top dollar though...that never changes it seems.
I was going to throw in my $0.02 but your post explains it so well there is no need. The human ear is a wondrous thing when it works well. Like you said, it can effortlessly tune in on sounds it wants to hear and tune out the stuff it doesn't. This is the hardest thing for people to understand. Depth of sound is what it is all about. I have been losing my hearing for about 7 years and been wearing aids for five. I am about to order the oticon behind the ear (the cadillac) and they are about $3200(can) each. I tried one in one ear while I had my Widex digital (in the canal) aid in the other and it was a marked improvement.
Amazing how every winning athlete has bounced back from drug addiction or some other horrific accident or near death to overcome all and stand on the podium. Equally annoying to me are the commercials on CTV "yes I am Canadian". Can there not be one commercial without a majestic snow covered mountain in the background or somebody enjoying a bonfire out in the wilderness. Good grief, I like camping too but this is not all we do while chugging enormous quantities of beer.
Oh and lol at the Liza Minelli thing below. Well done.
Aagh, disregard, he was watching the desktop i can now see. Webcam just happened to be open. I still think their remote surveillance is creepy. As is your use of CAPS.

yup my thoughts exactly. cheers :-)

geekgirl (36181) is all alone in the world. I guess the women around here don't have much going for them socially either.
Bah...the gonzo porn generation. Nothing wrong with a nice bush. Why does every woman have to look like a girl guide. Now get off my lawn.
You may have just changed my mind. That could be the best thing that ever happened. What's a few billion.

I think you mean "...but I know it when I come across it..and then immediately forget about it."

More likely....if you are having chest pain press 1 now. If you have a sucking chest wound press 2 now.

or working together to take over the world....like a botnet!!!
