If common carrier classification is rescinded that means the FTC will again have rule over ISP's right? Should help a bit towards that whole "sell all your data for $$$" thing. I would have rather had the rules set up under Wheeler though....
Does this mean Netflix in Firefox will finally run at 1080p? I almost switched to Chrome for this, but I'm too ingrained into Fx with the UI and my favorite plugins.
I ended up just restoring off a backup and re-updating bit defender. Whatever update I got no longer had the faulty code in it. I emphasized to my friends and family the importance of having a system backup available for just such emergencies.
If everyone who signed the petition canceled their pre-order and/or boycotts the game, that's already over $5mil in lost sales. I'm guessing that through word of mouth that number will certainly go up.
I'm agnostic about Zeus. You got proof Zeus does not or never did exist? Maybe the judeochristian god was Zeus. Didn't consider that one, did ya?
From wordnet: a person who claims that they cannot have true knowledge about the existence of God (but does not deny that God might exist).
That says it all about my position, and given the state of our sciences I dare you to prove the absolute non-existance of God.
I share wikipedia's aim of freely redistributable content and images, so when I have a photo that's helpfull I upload it. I'd like to think that a few of the photos I take are better than what someone took with a little digicam.

It might be quite soft, but the wide angle can't be beat.
And I suppose you know how an FTL drive powered by a matter-antimatter reaction which pushes a ship outside the normal space-time continuum will react with a singularity?
For now, sure, but there are numerous android devices coming out and in development. When android devices outnumber iphones 5 to 1, we'll see which platform gets more love.
This is GPG's own fault, I've read the post and the comments, and having the game connect to the servers on launch was a mistake. War3 doesn't check for updates until I get signed on to battlenet, and that's how it should have been here.
The pirate/customer ratio does indeed suck, and they have my condolences, but this problem isn't entirely of the pirate's making.
It's stories like this that make me glad to have Verizon FiOS. In the years we have had it, I can't remember if we have ever had a service outage, the speed is always outstanding, and I have yet to find even a hint that Verizon is going to cap, limit, throttle, or otherwise impair the service.
If you ever get the chance, switch to FiOS right away.
That's assuming it forgets you were just on the server. If it assigns each steam id as being able to contribute a max of 45 points per server per week, or per server per day, etc, then that sort of trick wouldn't work.
And what's the judge going to do if the bulk of the operation is outside his jurisdiction? Last I heard was that American banning online poker didn't also kill it in the UK.
As I recall, one of the guys running the site said they had made arrangements such that the actual hardware is no longer under their direct control, so even if they are all found guilty, it would be outside their ability to shut it down, even if ordered to do so by a court.
I would be willing to pay a monthly "download insurance" fee in exchange for immunity from prosecution for downloading to my heart's content. Music, Movies, Games, Software, set up a separate fund for each and let folks opt-in.
Can someone tell me what in these movies is actually an atom? I have no doubt the images are very important, but it'd be nice to know where the important bits are.
Then none of the MMO companies should charge for expansions or updates, that's like having to pay double to keep using your gym membership. City of Heroes has never charged for an expansion to the game, and even when they released City of Villains (seperate game), they rolled it into your City of Heroes subscription, two games, once price. And still, both games are under active development and the players don't have to pay extra for new content, unlike a certain ogre loving mmo we all know.
This is an MMO that beta'd, died, came back with fan run and company verified servers, died again, came back under gametap, died yet again, and now maybe might come back with fan servers a second time.
At this point I doubt Cyan even owns Myst, Uru, or Plasma, the engine they bought and built up. I don't see any future where the fan's will get source code to the servers, or even the ability to run a server free of Cyan's control. Any company going belly up after investing millions obviously hasn't recouped that money, meaning the people that invested in them now own the IP, and why would they give it away? I doubt *they* give a rats ass about the fanbase.
You might be saying to yourself that Uru is still a single player game, and yes, this is true, but that isn't what URU is about, it's about the community. I've played all the myst games, and this one feels the most dead of them all, because you are alone in a world meant to be filled with other player characters.
There are large population centers more than 400m above sealevel (more than twice that, actually). Plus there are people in the dead sea which is 420 meters below sea level.
And that's before we start counting the people living on the ISS, the people living in the salt mine city, Atlantians (Deeper or Higher than 400m depending on who you talk to) or the mole men.....
Denver is most definitely on the surface of the world, not hovering 400m above it. The surface of the earth has great variation, but most of the people who live on earth do so within about 400m of that surface, whatever their height from the oceans. The parent was obviously speaking of relative height, not absolute ^_^
If you rotate the paper sideways, it turns into a 10100101 pattern, going down vertically. I can't sit and transcribe it here, but if anyone has the time, I think looking at this as trinary may be the wrong way to think.

My muscle memory is going crazy over this. Very much dislike.

What's next? Video texting?
Been there. Done that, old man. We're now onto Googlefacevidtweettubing.
Everybody's doing it.
So you're saying you've Googlefacevidtubetwatted?

Well, that's a bummer, but it wont shut down TPB, might even turn these guys into martyrs in the eyes of their peers...

How many gigaquads does this translate to?
Actually the kitchen knife ban is just a ploy by the restaurant lobby to increase profits!

If psystar wins this showdown, it will be a whole new playing field. After all, why by an expensive XServe when you can just emulate OSX Server?
