I think they mean the adbar at the top of these programs.
I initially pondered about how they get the adverts in, but then I remembered, its in the place where you used to see "XBOX/PS2 CHIPPING $20" or whatever crap it was.
Its not possible directly in BT, but it sure as hell is in the torrent link pages like suprnova, man, those pages are awful, and they have an 8second rotation, the screen jumps around like a hyperactive squirrel.

I don't think the problem is dissing the freezer trick. Its what it was used for. From the blurb, he froze his drive because he wanted to recover deleted files, not because there was a stuck head. The article doesn't make it as clear however. The internet puts help and advice in the wrong hands and big mistakes and cock ups occur all the time. My boss is very wary of users with a little knowledge but no experience, and I think this article backs up his assertion.
I have recovered drives using the banging method, but never had to resort to freezing. I do however believe it could help in a percentage of failures.

if your problem was WRITING to the drive, but the original data was still readable, perhaps you could've removed the files before it blew totally.
performing technical maintenance on the whim of a slashdotions advice is about as wise as asking Bill. G. to recommend a secure operating system.
The freezer trick is intended to be used when a drive is already inaccessible. The "trick" is supposed to dislodge an already stuck drive head. It is always seen as a last gasp, last measure, and should NEVER be performed on an already mountable drive.
Whilst at the moment, your want/need to display all webmail images automatically won't get you into any hassles, in the future, you will wish you hadn't.
Why should you broadcast a live address to a spammer and indicate you have an active account?
I do think there should be a compromise however.
It could be something you setup like "Allow external images from contacts". This would lockout the spam avenue, and allow those that know you to view items inline.
As you say though, its a beta product, and I'm going to leave them a number of feature requests/bug reports for the few niggles I have with the service. If you want gmail to be the best in the world, then put forward your requests. Take part, you never know, your request may make the grade.
I've actually grown to like the gmail advertising model. Half the links they give are adverts, but the lower half are related links. The same links you get if you search for the same keywords. 99% of the time, I find the automatic matches listed there mean I don't have to do a seperate websearch to find out more info. Its amazing how much more interest you can have in a subject if you can find out extra information about it:) I can't be the only person in the world who feels that they are a good thing.
They simply should not be selling it yet. What if I had bought it. I would expect to play it when I got home. When I found it didn't work, I may want to return it as defective. When the shop won't accept a refund on an open item, whos going to pay me back?
What about when the servers are closed in a few years, how can I install/play it then?
This is a big deal, its a single player game not some online role playing saga. I saw it for sale over here yesterday, and was VERY tempted. At least for now, I think I'll pass.
Your absolutely right, the deathstar/air freshener look of the new rendering IS wrong. I went looking myself, and found that its not listed anywhere easy to find, theres not even a search hit about it on the official hg2g community!
Theres a section on wikipedia about it, but alas, no image.
The cover of the old dvd looks more similar to the rendered ball, but thats a green face with its tongue sticking out.
Anyway, I finally found it, and the original looks MUCH better. Theres a load more info, and a couple of images:)
I even found a program that supposedly adds the marks to your own dowuments, but you iwll have to look for yourself, because I can't view either postscript, or pdf. link here: http://wildspark.com/eurionize/
Don't most porn sites now run database backends to manage the linking and hit rates? Those that *ahem* list a "todays best" area at the top of the page, followed by the daily links are certainly DB driven.
Theres management required for referrer chains and user management. Thats without even getting to the individual gallery/image/movie pages that are decorated with links and adverts depending on where they come from. I've even seen sites now with a blogger style entrance and backend tpg style archives.
They are most certainly fully blown (pun intended?) Content Management Systems , and not just high bandwidth static servers.
If all you ever see is static porn pages, your looking in the wrong place....
Wouldn't an xbox cost half as much whilst doing at least twice as much? People went for the xbox for hacking because it was basically commodity hardware with a custom BIOS.
The blurb says they cant decide if it does act as a pvr. Also, the content available isn't exactly what most people would consider amazing. For example, one of the "channels" you can PURCHASE is:
FILMCLIX
Independent feature films, extreme sports, award-winning documentaries, foreign films and music documentaries. Five titles with two new titles added every month.
Rental: $1.49 - $2.49 / 7 days
I'm not knocking the idea per-say, and I would happily shell out for a net based service if I could choose the current popular shows via BT.
You can buy LED packs which attach along the length of a spoke on your bike. You can configure it to display patterns, or you can give it a message. Excellent idea, and would be really cool to expand into a real 3d volume.
There are also wand clocks, which do similar, but are like a musical metronome.
Both of these I believe roughly fit the bill of what your talking about.
XP does provide the tools, but your right, its not at the forefront anymore. I remember getting developer level instructions in the book that came with my Amiga.
Anyway, Its perfectly feasible to pick up a raw XP machine, and create mandelbrot set from sourcecode. Internet explorer comes with a javascript engine.
Just to see if I could, I dragged a very old basic calculator up into Javascript using nothing more than notepad.
It works really well, and takes a damn site less than the 24hours it originally took.
Slashdot Mirror
I would be more worried about the actual law being proposed than the spelling of the warning.
If you open your C drive (ignore the warnings) and highlight then delete the "Windows" folder, you save a further 1.5GB.

It might complain about a few things, but just let it continue.
Once its done, you'll not only save disk space, but can be sure you won't have any trojans or viruses left
I was interested in getting this Silver package you got, the one thing I couldn't find was a listing showing the valve catalog contents.
Can anybody please enlighten me?

You then have to repeat the process at least 3 more times.
