everyone else is calling it amd64... or x86_64... or even em64t. what's the point of introducing yet another name for this architecture, especially if neither of the chip makers use it?
It is highly likely that the sun will burn out (and, honestly, all the other suns in all the other galaxies will burn out as well) long before that 256-bit key is guessed. That's a little more than "obscurity," wouldn't you say? I mean, sure, it could be guessed, but who will be left to use it once it is?
it's like a focus group. the purpose is not to gain statistically significant demographic information, but rather to understand why and how people exhibit certain behaviors.

Usually, the way to handle something like this is to leave the feature disabled, unless you've asked the user or they explicitly enable it. The problem is that it is enabled by default, without asking the user.
But Beatles-Beatles isn't sending the story links through his personal website. He links directly to the stories. It's just his name that links to his personal site.
He's obviously a Beatles fan. No one has ever come up with a coherent explanation of why his website is illegitimate. It is obviously a genuine fan tribute site, without any ads, and obviously is not set up to make money. He's not using unrelated words in the link (George Harrison was a member of the Beatles).
I'd rather live without a good story completely than having it ruined by a discussion about the submitter.
The solution to that is to mod down the idiots ranting and raving about Beatles-Beatles and his website. It's not to reject interesting stories just because some people are so stupid that they see the name of a submitter and become instantly filled with hate.
It prevents works which have fallen into the public domain from being used freely, which is supposed to be the promise of copyright -- meaning that the orphaned works problem is no longer just fueled by copyright law, but by technology. The sole purpose of DRM is to deprive honest consumers of their fair use rights, instead substituting an EULA.
Fair use is something that is protected only by the graces of the court, as it stands now. We need to strike back against any new DRM, and the companies that distribute it, even if they are "only following orders". We need also to get Fair Use rights codified as law, preferably as a constitutional amendment, so that industry lobbyists will have a much harder time purchasing our rights from the legislature.
Google is a much *smaller* and *less powerful* company than the movie and record conglomerates. They're just more visible to us because we are nerdish.
All recorded music can most certainly be performed. Perhaps your definition of "perform" is faulted; you should attend an electronic music performance sometime.
As I understand it, under Russian law, internet distribution of audio recordings is viewed as we would view cable television -- it's a transmission, not a copy. If you've secured broadcast rights (and they have), then you can transmit audio recordings over a network cable.
Musicians obtain the vast majority of their income from live performances. Recordings serve the same purpose as radio play -- to promote performances. AllofMP3 does not represent a market failure.
There was music before there were records or radios. Selling copies of pre-recorded music is a very recent phenomenon for this art form. The disappearance of substantial cash flow from record sales will not harm our musical culture.
My future-viewing terminal informs me that that the Video Internet will be deployed just a few years after the widespread availablility of wall-mounted Video Telephones, but just before Honda release their premiere Flying Automobile.
I can only hope that our spinlock model is flexible enough for these paradigm-shattering technological earthquakes!
There's no need to run a Windows-based virus scanner to scan for Windows-based viruses -- after all, what other sort of viruses are there?:-) Run Aegis Virus Scanner natively on your home directory.
I think the point here is that the number of people using RSS is not surprisingly low, but rather that the other article's stratospherically improbable estimates of the number of bloggers must be based on some sort of deeply flawed methodology.
A very small number of people read weblogs; the closest most people come is something like Slashdot (which is quite much unlike the prototypical blog, despite your link to an ill-advised 6-year old story).
Yes, blogs are just a particular kind of content management software. But there's got to be some reason this software attracts so many looney airheads, don't you think? Perhaps because a blog puts a narcissist right where he wants to be -- at the center of attention, in complete control of the flow of information, even if it is only in his own insignificant fiefdom.

why not go for the gold and do wipe -k /dev/hda? sure, it takes a while, but it's the only way to be *really* sure that the spyware is gone!

I don't see any evidence of croneyism. You sound like someone that's staring at television static claiming to see the face of his mother.

This'd be a hell of a lot easier if they'd just give over the source code already.
Dude... the seats are extremely uncomfortable even for those of us *under* two meters :-)
