I agree about the linux beta version. Hands done it is far faster for any website that uses javascript and flash compared to FF or Opera. My only 5 complaints are these:
it happens often where a tab will crash from loading a page-- mostly happens on pages with javascript, and more so with many tabs open at the same website but different locations, and if one of the tabs fails for the site, all of them crash-- even the ones that were fully rendered
bookmark managing and searching could be better
I really dislike that I cannot associate a downloaded filetype to a program to launch (ex: can't click on a network music service playlist and have it launch/send it to the program. FF, IE, Konqueror, etc will let me do it, instead it merely downloads it to the download folder and I have to manually tell it to open the file)
it would be nice to be able to see webpage titles better
arranging plugin button locations would be nice-- something like how FF does it under customize tool bar mode.
WinXP is still on sale-- at least oem versions of it, whether it be NewEgg or even mom and pop computer stores; It was only a few months ago I had to buy copies for fixing old work machines (which sadly Linux was not an option for).
Maybe the banks should release browser extensions that turn on bank lock down mode via the press of a button. Or, people can merely run a locked down VM instance of a OS/browser combo that is solely used for banking; going ever further, someone should package a slim VM just for that purpose and share it with all to use (maybe a version of gOS with Google Chrome or freeBSD with Firefox, or use that Kiosk SuSE linux builder app....). Hrm... think I might have to play with those things this weekend....
I agree, along with peeking into the registry and seeing what programs are listed to be started at start up, and if the names don't mean anything to you, then google them, next delete all the entries that should not be there, followed by try and run any programs to remove malware once you reboot with those programs not starting up (works most of the time for me, but not always).
Here is another question: have you ever had spam from sending out a email moments later? It happens every time I send a message to someone with a yahoo mail account, and within seconds 1 to 4 spam messages appears.
Sure it cost less, but that is by design-- no one is allowed to meet their prices by law (as said above) and form what I have seen it is not that reliable from where I live. It can take a couple days to get a letter to it's destination one state away or over two weeks. Furthermore, USPS's tracking system is horrible compared to any of the other shipping companies; sometimes there is no tracking data at all or just one for leaving and maybe one for arriving to where it was suppose to go, and more often than not no info between the sending and receiving points. Recently, we have even received a letter returned to us that we sent over 8 months earlier that had an address for the next town over and the address was valid (we called the person it was for and they came and got it, instead of waiting for the USPS to try again); if it was a package or letter sent UPS/FedEx/DHL at most it would take a month to return (often shipped 2nd or next day back to us... ) or they would call us and ask for an address correction.
I agree, at the same time, one can protect themselves by using Lynx or W3m to browse the web via a phone.... or just turn off images, flash, video, etc. Come to think of it, sometimes I wish Firefox had mode extension for rendering like w3m or lynx
Good point. I also wonder if one can refuse based on it being against their morals and "faith".... or at the very most, change the password after you give it to them and if they ask you can claim that it's your personal policy to change your password X number of days or when you fear a security breach.
If I remember correctly, Pixar would have made more sequels, sooner, but due to their former contract with Disney, and Disney's policies on sequels, which was video release only. Though since Toy Story 2 was good enough for the theater, they were fine with distributing it, but refused to let that release count towards their X number of films left until their contract expired. Pixar was itching to complete that contract they had made, considering Disney got a large chunk of the ticket sales, along with keeping all merchandising profits (this may have included video sales too). Disney viewed Pixar deal with them too profitable to let that film count, while Pixar made it clear that they would only focus on the end game for a new and far better distributing and merchandising contract with someone. End game ended up with a shake-up at Disney, Steve Jobs becoming majority share holder of Disney via a Pixar buyout and Pixar taking over the direction of Disney's digital films, along with guiding them in restarting hand drawn films. Pixar, always planned on making sequels, they just needed time to get to a better place... now that they are controlling Disney is ways, maybe that is not a bad thing.
Personally, I would have hoped that besides another Toy Story film (which was part of the buyout deal with Pixar doing it and Disney pulling the plug on the one they were working on), they would next create another tale in the universe of The Incredibles for a sequel.
With that attitude, one could could also say, "After all, one only needs EMacs regardless if it is on Unix based computer or even almost ready for the desktop Pre MS Windows 7 OS's
Correct, but they make for some good eating... mmmm finger-licking good.... So, too, may it be possible those aliens will be our next food source, or else we risk it being us! Or perhaps, food is what will bridge the language gap, after all, it often does with wildlife and foreign people.
True....
There is also a wonderfully wacky aspect to it as well, which one reviewer of the game at E3 talked about, here, which is this:
I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pick-axe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the f!%k? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were f!%king dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a f!%ing DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I F!%KING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERF!%KING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.
That is what I do and works fine. My only wish is to setup a system-- a sort of system "VM server" of sorts for the desktop where the server is the only thing close to the hardware and if you want to let someone else use the computer just merely launch separate vm image instance and let it run parallel, resource wise, to the existing one; perhaps one can do this with a Xen setup-- just wish it was more user and setup friendly.
My question is this: If this happened with an ad on a tv network or radio-station, who is at fault for the infringing ad the broadcaster not crosschecking every fact or the party who funded the ad? Based on the answer to that I would think would apply to Google. I would guess that having to crosscheck ever word/name/phrase/etc by the ad broadcaster would be an unreasonable burden, though in Google's case they could just have a program compare text to a database of trademark names and who owns them, and then have a means to prove you are the owner who can use them on their ad network.
Actually, the music is more Alternative Rock, than how you say Techno/Disco crap. It is quite good, so go ahead, have a listen on NPR's streaming page here or grab a torrent of the album in full here.
There are rules to war of what is allowed and not, which is defined by the international community (one of the reasons the UN was created). Knowingly targeting civilians is considered a war crime.
Assuming ssh is usable. My ISP gave me a router that despite letting me set various port forwarding, refuses to honor them, so remote access to any of the machines just does not seem to work the way I would like. I do have ssh on my network machines, but they are keys, password, whitelist protected on uncommon port while only supporting version 2 connections.
CustomizeGoogle FF extension can removes ads, click tracking, etc... They can't do these things to the visitor if they shielded from it. NoScript, also, can block AdSense. Let this be a education movement on the tools that can protect and tailor web experiences. I fail to see a problem, since people are not forced to use a service they don't want done to them if they can block it, whether it be via a firewall filter, proxy, host denial entry, or easy to use browser extensions.

Viruses, technically, are not alive, so if virus's have brains, then would that make them zombies?
I prefer to have flashblock plugin to manage that. There is now a Chrome plugin version of it.

I agree, and how much of this "pirated" software is OSS?

Do they still keep it if you change your Google search history settings to not save past searches under account settings?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I could have sworn that there is a federal law that states no company can meet or beat USPS rates.

There is another way to get around that print bug, and it is called printscreen, crop, and convert to a pdf or print.

In wealth communities, such as, Nantucket it is rather common for that amount or more.
