I'd say that a lot of installations are for corporate environments which use legacy applications (both Intranet and web-based) which rely on IE6, or which are not updated due to the fear of incompatibility.
I use only Opera and Firefox at home (and on work computers when permitted by system policy), but I've had IE6 on various work laptops (both for my firm and for clients) due to these kinds of issues. Web-based clients with issues included a time and expense system (critical in a professional services firm), an older iteration of Salesforce.com, and all kinds of home-grown applications.
You can certainly say that coding everything required for a site like Vimeo probably requires creativity and talent, just like the challenging art of writing game walkthroughs. The same is true for many corporate jobs, really, just in different ways.
Same here - it just seems the risk factor is still there, and I've never had to mail a console (been playing since NES) in for repair. I'm not interested in starting.
Having multiple models is more offputting than it should be. I have that feeling that the new, really cool model would come out just as I get the old one.
It's the consumer's job to educate his or herself about a product he or she is interested in buying - not the responsibility of a retailer and especially not the responsibility of government to enforce.
The summary's a bit off - I haven't read this article, but something I read earlier today said that there are several releases. If I remember correctly: 1. The first part of the album (not the whole thing) is available as a free download. 2. The whole thing is available for download for $5. 3. A CD set is available (10-15ish?). 4. A deluxe, signed, and limited CD set is available ($75?).
So, yes, there is some music for free here, but it isn't the whole album, and this isn't exactly the same as Radiohead's release.
Much like the QSA citation in one of the earlier comments, a company can outsource IT functions if it can demonstrate that its service providers have adequate data security practices, just as if it were an internal part of the organization. For example, a SAS 70 document can be provided for some assurance that the service provider has adequate documentation of its controls.
Now, it's another thing if all kinds of data are sent unsecurely to a third party without having any assurances of data security - but contractual agreements and things like a SAS 70 exist for this purpose. It's the same with backup data centers, or with sending tapes and papers to places like Iron Mountain - you're given assurances that the data will be protected.

This is why we need business method patents!
The Mafia would have prior art claims over the RIAA and MPAA.
And the government would have prior art claims over the Mafia!

I think we're talking about "artistic expression" rather than "creative tactical thinking."
Good to see we're getting to the Important Stuff first...

Can we please stop using this stupid phrase?

Nothing's stopping those other sites from developing their own servers.
Probably because they're not Nintendo IP. However, since they're branching out (Solid Snake), they may not be out of the question.
As for Nintendo IP, how about Mike from StarTropics? That game never got the love it deserved. Plus, he can probably have differing yo-yo attacks.
How about Simon Belmont? Wario, too.
Actually, the last one did have a multiplayer mode, I think.
How many non-tech people use extensions? I barely use them myself, but then again Firefox is my secondary browser to Opera.
I concur.
Ah, you neglect that tons of CD's out there are non-RIAA.
Copy + Paste.
People use the Internet for more than bitching about movies and downloading porn?
Hell, why not let the original, Jonathan Ke Quan, play Short Round? He apparently has done some acting and/or stunt work since [i]Temple of Doom[/i].
