I think by limiting how many a registrar can change, this encorages registrars to use it for legitimate purposes, such as mis-typed names (if those really happen). Rather than cater to non-customers, they may only make the revocation available to paying customers who aren't really tasting.
I'd suggest a lower threshold like 1%, but it maybe this helps weed out illegitimate (scammer-friendly) registrars because they don't have enough real registrations to make their 10% account for much. I suspect that's why the figures didn't just drop to exactly 10%.
I guess supplying context was so obvious to me that I didn't realize at first that these folks were dumb enough to leave it off. I've searched for numbers many times and always done just fine. Just like with text searches, if you don't like the first set of results put in a little more info to scope it.
You need to take away the Local Administrator rights from every user on the network
Apparently your business doesn't do software development for Windows. When developing for Windows using Visual Studio, local admin rights are needed to run the debugger. Any business that involves engineering of the software variety will generally need an exception policy to determine who actually needs those rights.
High-G impacts... This would leave a tell-tale blemish on the case.
Ok, so if I scratch my device against something in my pocket, the warranty is now void. Thanks. People with rubber cases for their devices could drop them 10 feet and still get warranty service though.
The immersion in liquid thing is used all the time to make a clear indication to the techs that the phone was not just splashed but fully immersed(pool or toilet, likely). I've heard how often people return phones "it just stopped working" when it had been fully immersed in water, judging by the sensor. Techs don't need to be doing an ion scraping, they don't have a chem lab. They just need a clear argument-free method of determining if the device is under warranty.
The freeware but not open source CutePDF meets all of my needs to print documents to PDF from anything (not a PDF editor, but as I don't publish docs I don't care to create a native PDF). That might hold you over if your needs are light.
I believed the myth that arguing was good at 18. My girlfriend and I argued all the time, and at first I thought that was good. Then I realized she was just argumentative, and I wasn't good at arguing. Now I'm more of a believer in good communication, and value the personality traits that don't lead to needless arguments.
I'd also like to know how good the projector quality is...
What, you don't trust the marketing video? It clearly showed a stable, properly keystoned image at high resolution despite the fact that the actor was shaking the camera wildly and projecting from an angle. Pretty awesome technology if you ask me.
You should have looked into the wireless "sensor" bars. They've been out for at least a year or two, and those of us with projectors were pulling all kinds of hacks to make one before a properly manufactured solution was available. The manufactured bars are a little larger/stronger and better for a larger room.
If you don't enjoy the kind of games that are out for the Wii, however, I can't help you.
Note that you DON'T have easy access to modify all of the BIOS, that's the point of this. Even after flashing the bios, the rootkit remains. It's just the configuration info that is left wide open.
The concept here is to update the first-install version of the rootkit to be more robust against IP address changes, and to be more secure about the way updates are accepted. So, even if the IP address is spoofed or somehow updated, the download could be verified. Allowing unverified updates is just asking for malware injection.
A good signing scheme wouldn't be so easy to spoof - think asymetric encryption not web site certificates.
I think one of the last (commonly available) CDR brands that made their own discs was TDK. A few years ago thir disks started showing mfr IDs as something else, though. So much for knowing if your disc was from a good factory before buying it...
If you look up the definition of copyright, this would not be in the public domain: In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years.[wikipedia.org]
These books were written from about 1948 onward, and Tolkien died in 1973. So, there are many more years before this material enters the public domain. The heirs of the intellectual property as well as the contracts that were made are intended to continue to receive the benefits of his work.
If you don't agree with copyright law that's another matter, but your "for a variety of reasons" is a rather insincere way of saying "because I don't believe in copyright".
No, it would be more like after the first deadbolt, thieves will be more interested in your windows so the 4th and 5th deadbolts don't affect your security at all. You don't go down to 0 deadbolts just becaues 1 was enough.
Really, we just need *appropriate* password complexity. As the article mentions, online sites with 3 strikes rules don't really need excessively complex passwords. A six character password might be just as effective as a 256 character password, but much more convenient.
Now where to I apply for the money, and where do I apply to vote? I'm looking forward to approving my $4B project involving laughing all the way to the bank (no need to be greedy, I'll leave a little for the others).
There comes a point that the money doesn't seem to make up for disliking the job (maybe I'm just not making enough for the lines to cross). I would suggest that for some, getting happiness out of the job is not just a bonus but a strong desirement.
I've played some games that I thought did a good job of using the wiimote, and some games that were just crap. I'm thinking that the crap games were crap regardless of how they used the wiimote.
For the first time? Is this a joke? The pattern of assignment has been well known for years, whereby everybody born in an area at a particular time had the same prefix.
Any scheme that uses the first 5 digits for authentication is utter crap. It's almost as dumb as using telephone area codes.
Separating the drugs may actually be better anyway. Cutting the narcotic with acetaminophen is mainly useful in reducing addiction effects - Vicodin had a pretty bad reputation early on.
On a related note, veterinarians can't use Vicodin on animals because (for example) acetaminophen can kill dogs. You can't get any of those narcotics without it being cut with acetaminophen these days.
Hopefully you're doing more than lip-service to wanting to stay healthy (many folks use kids/schedule/commute as an excuse to be unhealthy, but it's no excuse).
First, make sure to use your off days to get some excercise. Even just half an hour on each of your off days is likely to stabilize your health, even if it doesn't improve (your mileage may vary). Try to find something you enjoy, so it's not a burden.
Also, just make sure you get up and walk around or do something mildly energetic periodically to keep your body operating while at work. If it's at all possible, take a half hour to actually excercise (run, bike, pushups/situps, whatever) one day of the week as a holdover until a day off. That day will be longer, but you may be able to manage one longer day a week especially if you do something fun.
In the end, if your job is truly inflexible (can't take any time even once a week to excercise), then perhaps it really is killing you and you must decide how much you want to let your health decline before changing jobs/where you live is *less* painful.
The problem here is with pages designed to not load until the ads are shown. Optimizing the page to load each piece as it is available would greatly reduce any hangups - the problem is likely that the ad companies desire this broken methodology so you read the ads while the content loads.
Don't forget that some social networking policies are that they own any picture you post, so in the end there may be a record after all when they decide to sell it to anyone willing to pay.
I agree - my first thought was that the reviews are being done wrong - perhaps focusing on the wrong things, inviting the wrong people, or just plain not having someone in charge to keep things flowing.
My next thought is that the results of design reviews are going to be viewed differently - changing the color of a button is likely to be more noticable than fixing a buffer overflow that is only exhibited if the right data is input.
My personal experience is that code reviews are invaluable when done right. However, a huge number of people don't understand them at all and try to do them wrong.
Maybe their choice of source product isn't as good this time, but they previously made (I think) a good choice in bringing Giant AntiSpyware into the fold as Windows Defender. Giant was at the time one of the better scanners, which would make a good addition particularly for people who don't want to buy/install 3rd party apps. It's only appropriate that windows had both spyware and virus removal built in (note that there's already the malware removal component of windows update).
This leaves the door open (or maybe sets the bar higher) for 3rd party apps to compete, but at least gives the average users (who don't do their due dilligence in cleaning the PC) a fighting chance of having a non-zombie pc.
On a more pessimistic note, all that correct posturing will turn to dust if the product really does route all data through microsoft, because I'll be blocking it right out of the gate.
This seems clear as day to me - many publishers don't know how to make games for the Wii. It's enough that I'm starting to consider buying only Wii-only games, as they are more likely to be made correctly. I felt cheated that the features offered in the *Wii-specific* version of the ad for Call of Duty World at War were not in the Wii version. If gamecube games can offer split-screen multiplayer, so can Wii games. In fact, I went out and bought used gamecube games and controllers to get my split-screen multiplayer capability. Nice job supporting that genre on this platform, guys.
There probably are a lot of games that aren't ideal for the Wii, and it stings that Resident Evil 5 won't be out for it. However, ideally publishers will eventually catch on and tap the Wii market with properly made games. It would probably help to boycott all of the watered-down crappy ports to the Wii, so Mattes's point seems good (don't force the port when it's not appropriate).

why allow it at all?

Would the device be smart enough to determine if there were really two "watching" tv, or think it is just one with two backs?

So, just like dogs, it might need to be put down once it gets a taste for human flesh. Everything's fine while it stays strictly vegetarian, though...
