As well as the Evil bit in the TCP header (for viruses etc), perhaps we could introduce a morality value as well, so that only highly moral traffic, for example, could enter or leave my site.
and I just realised for the first time that those aren't symmetrical, but they're damn comfortable.
I press the two ctrl keys with the base of my hand, not with fingers, and use my right thumb on the space bar, left thumb on left alt and my hand on right alt, if I ever use it.
I also move my hands left and right depending on which one is closest to the key I want at the time, which I suppose means I'ld never pass a typing exam.
All this M/AO stuff is only applicable to the American market anyway.. in New Zealand, it was released marked R18, ie, not for sale to people aged under 18.
Clearly they wrote the code and then decided to play it safe and comment out the line that calls it before submitting the game for rating, replication, and distribution.
So someone comes along and adds the call to that disabled code back in and it's rockstar's fault.. how ?
How is this different from the nude models in Sims 2, or the console command to remove the pixelization when the sims are showering in that same game ? Surely EA Games aren't responsible for that ?
I think it comes from the fact that a lot of people who post here are programmer types who would want to fix the source of the problem once and do it right rather than fix the symptoms of the problem and do it many times in many different ways.
Having said that though, I agree with the parent, because life isn't a problem that can necessarily be programatically solved.
You're right about the in-band signalling.. it's a very microsoft thing to do.
Though the problem with blah.jpg.bat is a result of moving from 8.3 filenames to 'long' filenames. If they'ld had, say, 50.3 filenames from way back, this problem might not have happened. Not that they had the space to waste on it.
This is just another scam to make money, just like they do with new (pointless) third level domains.
From TFA "We strongly suggest that companies in Singapore, particularly those with global or mainland China directed aspirations, to quickly lock in their business names and trademarks as Chinese domain names, before they find them legitimately taken by others"
Cat 6 isn't actually useful for anything yet, as you can do it all with 5E. The installation cost of 6 is higher as well as it has to be handled more carefully.. you have to use velcro straps instead of cable ties for example.
For the last several weeks at least, every google search I've done from work has had the click tracking links, and it never hides it on the status bar.
This doesn't happen at home... but always at work, and it's not cached, because the response is dynamic (it is a search engine after all)
For example, the first link returned from my work machie when searching for 'bob' (ignore the stupid space in the URL added by slashdot):
Has anyone else noticed that for the last week or so, the links returned in a google search link back to a google CGI that then redirects to the requested back. Previously, the links went directly to the site.
For example, searching for 'bob' returns a link to Bob the builder [www.bobthebuilder.org], which actually links to
http://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=U&start=3&q=http:// www.bobthebuilder.org/&e=9901
Until last week, I had never bothered to do anything about the ads here on slashdot, because they were usually quite relevant and sometimes even interesting.
That all changed when a flash app loaded and started *TALKING* to me.. it was playing back a recording of someone verbally selling the product! I didn't even know which browser window it was playing in for a few moments because I had opened the slashdot page in a tab in another window. When I did find it, that was the straw the broke the camels back.
So a few configuration lines later, I no longer get ads on slashdot at all.
The moment the advertisers pass the threshold of annoyance, they loose another potential customer.

Heh. I meant 'at best' from the point of view of the lawyers.. ie, the worst they should be able to prosecute you for would be copyright infringement, and that as nothing was actually taken, theft should be out of the question.
I would only ever use the same password on systems that have the same administrator running them.. ie, I'll never use my email password for my bank, or my netware password for unix boxes. That's not to say that I *do* use the same password on all those systems.

Is it just me, or does that new controller look just like a new cylon raider from battlestar galactica ?

So wait.. do we hate Real or not ?
I wonder if the fact that most land mass is opposite water is something to do with the continents balancing each other ?

It's amazing, given how long the routers of the internet have been doing CIDR how many people are still hooked on the ideas of address classes.
Head crabs !!!!
CD is "INT" (interrupt), and 19 is the parameter to INT. Calling the ISR for int 0x19 performs a reboot (at least in real mode under real DOS it does)
so it reads, in english
nothing,nothing,nothing,nothing,reboot
My god I'm sad.
I even thought it was funny.
Searching for 'bob the fancy goat', which is extremely unlikely to return a cached result, still returns results pointing to the redirector.
Maybe they're interested in mozilla traffic ?
They also only seem to be interested in NZ mozilla searches, because google.com, google.ca, and google.com.au returns direct results as well.
For example, searching for 'bob' returns a link to Bob the builder [www.bobthebuilder.org], which actually links to/ www.bobthebuilder.org/&e=9901

Common sense, I would have thought.
If you walk into a gallery and take a photo of a painting, that is, at best, copyright violation, but it is never theft.
heh heh.. I read that as "until the same story comes up".. I thought you were referring to slashdot's tendency to post duplicates...
