Yeah, you can't do dynamic content on a browser that has java script turned off.
User turns off feature A, website cannot take advantage of feature A. The situation is the same for all technologies, it's not just ecmascript. Or did I miss something here?
How can you read 'quality' as 'resolution'? Or did you not realize there are other components to it (viewing angle, brightness and contrast to start with)?
"Back in the days of limited capacity, 8 or 10 character passwords made sense"
You work for the NSA? Exhausting the keyspace of 10 character passwords (with let's say 60 possible chars) at the speed of 100 million tries per second would take 191 years. This of course assuming that the target system would not detect an intrusion attempt after a few billion tries...
When I just googled, I saw nothing of the like... only 3 results, the usnews article was the top then some french article I didn't bother to read.
Well, just looking at the title would have been enough: "Headhunter".
As a sidenote, I don't know any french, but the first paragraphs are still pretty easy to understand:
"Headhunter est donc un Metal Gear-like (ou un jeu d'action infiltration, si vous preferez) edité par Sega." (ok, 'Metal Gear-like' might not be french)
Be sure to read the fine print at the bottom of the page..the part that reads "The Fedora Project is not a supported product of Red Hat, Inc."....Those friendly folks at Red Hat just want you to keep the mill wheel turning, cranking out those security fixes and updates for them to sell. It's real simple. You grow the grain, cut it, and haul it all to the mill, where they'll bag it, and sell it, and let you go hungry.

Microsoft is having problems because their software is full of security holes. IE and ActiveX are the main reasons why people are having security problems, not updating. If M$ did their job right, and released secure software, then all these people wouldn't need to update before the hackers released exploits for the latest security hole. How about M$ properly securing IE, by totally disabling ActiveX?
When you're pithcing to your prospective customers you do remember to point out that Firefox is potentially at least as dangerous with it's xpi-installs, right? All it takes is one careless click and you might have malware on your computer, just like with activeX...
Malware extensions aren't common now, but if Firefox ever becomes a big player in the browser circles, they will be.
Maybe it doesn't make all Japanese sick but maybe we just aren't built for it.
Some industry people agree with you. This is from Scott Millers (3DRealms) blog. See especially point 2.
Compared to Europe, the Asian territories (specifically, Japan) are more challenging for selling Western games. There are three high barriers for us to overcome to be successful over there:
1) aesthetics - you've probably noticed a predilection for cuter anime style characters in Japanese games. Namely, there's a preference for characters to have slightly larger heads and larger eyes, and for environments to use a high contrast color palette. This is out of sync with the more realistic style that most of us Western game designers employ. Crash Bandicoot is one of the best selling U.S. developed games ever because they designed their characters from the ground up to be compatible with Japan.
The disconnect we have with Asian-style aesthetics is only going to be exacerbated as the average age of US gamers (currently 28 years-old) continues to increase. As adults we're obviously going to want more realistic and less cartoony games.
2) camera - games that have fast moving cameras severely limit their audience in Asian nations because people there have a tendency to get dizzy or sick from jerky movement. First person shooters are almost impossible, and 3rd person action games with simplistic follow-cams are just as bad. I remember a specific instance when working at a development company in Yokohama where I was playing a game of Descent and my Japanese co-workers had to avert their eyes from my screen because they were getting nauseous!
Games like Ratchet and Clank 1 & 2 are huge in Japan partially because their camera spin speed is very slow, and they use smart, well dampened algorithms to avoid jerkiness. This was intentional because these guys were thinking about the Japanese market from day one.
3) difficulty - games that are too difficult or punish the player too often have trouble in Japan too. People tend to get lost in complex 3D space, so I remember reading a post mortem on Sly Cooper (I think) where they said that they added lots of infomration sign posts, arrows, and clues to help guide Japanese players through their levels.
Am I being denied fair use becaue I cant run windows 98 on my iMac. After all I bought and paid for that copy, I should be able to use it how I like.
The point here wasn't that your toaster _should_ be able to play the video, but that it shouldn't be illegal for that toaster to do so. Exactly like it isn't illegal for win98 to be run on a Mac.
This site would be a lot better if people wouldn't push their own opinions as truths... Just because you haven't found a filter for you doesn't mean it's not possible.
I use Mozilla Thunderbirds filter, and get about 96% filtering with no false positives so far. Note: I make no claims about this solution working for you - I only have anecdotal evidence after all;)
It's proprietary alright, but could you explain the horrible and wretched parts? I'm not picking a fight here, I was just under the impression that RTF is pretty well documented, safe and (despite the amount of control words) pretty easy to implement...

You're probably right about plausibility, but Valery Polyakov actually spent 437 days on board Mir.
Yeah, just like the ridiculous 'Nobel' thingy the swedes and Norwegians have!
It's impossible to predict how respected a prize like this will become, but let's keep in mind that this one has by far the largest prize sum (of all technology awards in the world).
By your logic users should have dozens of passwords - any of which would give access.
Having more security features can be a good thing when all of them have to be passed to gain access. If bypassing one security feature is enough, adding security features is only going to make the system more insecure...
Then you have the other type of customer: the ones who don't need a cell phone, don't want to change their current cell phone, or can't get a cellphone. Children fall into that latter category. People/Parents aren't going to buy the thing just to play games on and ignore it's functionality as a cellphone.
Boy, do we live on different planets... My (mostly european) experience says kids absolutely 'need' a cell phone, change to a new one often and would kill for a cooler devices/phones. I'm not saying this Ngage2 is that kind of device though.
That said, it is possible to create a model of the power grid that will behave exactly the same.
Yeah right, and the operator is Laplace's demon. It is trivializing to think that a 100% accurate test environment could be built for a system as complex as a power grid...

I'm not sure that doc is really up to date... 1.4 was a couple of months ago and I haven't noticed any naming changes.
