Right - the issue is that people don't _expect_ it to be treated as "user submitted content", they expect it to act as a web hosting service. Meaning, NOT taking your stuff and showing it anywhere but your homepage, not making it so you can't take stuff down, etc.
Doesn't do the "at the tone" thing. You'd basically have to figure out in advance how long it will take to say, add a couple seconds in case of error (or maybe figure out how long it takes to say with "January twenty-seventh" and "eleven-fifty-seven and fifty-seven seconds", and make sure the time you allow is long enough for that. And getting the beep to start at the _exact_ right moment will be no picnic on a non-realtime OS.
They are links. Have you tried clicking them? (and, underlines on links disappearing on mouseover has been a common design feature of websites for, like, the past five years)
This is one thing that drives me crazy about Ubuntu... these names are elitist and completely unintuitive. There is no obvious relationship between the version numbers and the names. Well, at least recently they collate in the same order
The difference is that the CRB/SoundExchange thing has some minor details that are different that make it impossible to "take advantage of" it for anything other than streaming radio. In fact, the rates are quite a bit LESS than Allofmp3 pays, but since streaming radio can't have a viable existence requiring each listener to pay a certain amount for each track, which is what it would take (and what allofmp3 does) to make a profit this way, it seems (scratch that, it _is_) unjust.
But what does it do with my passwords? Nothing, unless your system's ancient: those haven't been stored in/etc/passwd for years. I would assume, given that, that if you DO have such an ancient system, it throws them away, since it has no expectation they will be there anyway.
No, you're putting money into the hands of the shop owner Right, that's what he said. The person who _LAST_ bought the CD. Who will generally be a shop owner, unless you're buying from a garage sale
Paying a premium isn't the issue - DSL wasn't available to this guy _at any price_ - he even offered to front the $7K it would have cost them to provide service to his location
debunked in court by soldiers who were members of the fighting squads at the said battle. Right, and the idea that there are drive-by shootings (hey - a car analogy!) has been debunked time and time again in court by gang members who were involved in the said incidents.
Could the difference between TheRaven64's Hello World in 2 dozen system calls and AC's Hello World in 2 system calls have something to do with use of int main(void) vs. int main(int argc, char *argv[], or perhaps printf() vs. puts() vs. write()? Or is there something deeper? int main(void) vs _start:, printf() vs mov eax,4; int 80h
Wikipedia often has redirects for common misspellings. That doesn't qualify as a "dictionary entry" for the purpose of defending it as if it were a legitimate alternate spelling.
I'd take the metaphor further and say it's like one of those Japanese restaurants where the chef cooks the meal right in front of you (you're watching compiler output etc speed by on the screen)
Constantly changing back would lead to the article being locked. Being tenacious does not matter one bit if the article can't just be changed anymore. Right, but without the evidence that they have a conflict of interest, it's a crapshoot whose changes get locked into place.
Now that we've caught these people exploiting the part of wikipedia that NO ONE should exploit simply because it undermines the very principle of this community-based system, who will change these entries back? WILL these entries be changed back?
It seems kind of limp to blow the horn on them but not remove the erroneous edits they made. Even if this information is subjective, if a company edits this info to benefit said company, that doesn't seem fair. As a slave/consumer in this country, it makes me cringe every time a large corporation gets away with this kind of bullshit. When is enough, enough? sofixit
If there is actually a law forbidding you from doing that (i.e. moving tiny plastic wheels) WITHOUT fraud (i.e. if you're never going to sell the car, or if you move the odometer _forward_, or if you disclose the amount by which it was changed when selling the car), that is also wrong. No-one's saying that what this guy did, altogether, was legal. But, it's the fraud, not the bullshit "access control circumvention", that should be prosecuted.
No, you'll get a text file. The encoding will, as it happens, be UTF-16, but that doesn't make it binary. If your "diff" program can't handle a standard unicode encoding, that's your problem.
Open container laws are a public safety matter. You don't want drivers to be drinking in the car I'm with you so far... (ignoring, for the moment, that an open container doesn't mean they're drinking, and if they are they'll fail a breath test anyway so there's no reason for it to be a crime in and of itself rather than simply being probable cause)
and the same goes for their passengers. ...what the FUCK?! How in the nine hells does this even make sense, let alone being a "public safety matter"?

Who cares, none of it's real anyway.

This was a reaction to a statement by MS. They would not have made that statement if they were not worried.The point I was replying to was that it was simply a matter of cost, when it's been demonstrated that broadband was not available _at any price_.

Duh.
Are they even allowed to keep that information without permission?

That page is inconsistent with other pages that say something else - a common problem on wikipedia, unfortunately.

Right, but for PCM audio, if you multiply the sample rate, sample size, and number of channels, you get the bit rate.
[2 channels] * ( [44100 sample / second] * [16 bit / sample] ) = 1411200 bit / second.
1411200 > 192000.
Just like the OP said. Try reading for comprehension next time
