When you use the 'file' protocol, there is no domain, there is only a path. Thus the domain part of the URL is omitted and you get a triple-slash.
Wrong. Please read RFC1738 again. It specifically states:
3.10 FILES
...
A file URL takes the form:
file://<host>/<path>
...
As a special case, <host> can be the string "localhost" or the empty
string; this is interpreted as `the machine from which the URL is
being interpreted'.

Yeah really, luckily I watched it via DVR after it had started recording for at least 40 minutes before I began watching it. I haven't seen so many badly (and annoying) placed commercial breaks in a pilot airing since the Star Trek: Enterprise premier. After getting a 720p torrent of the show and then watching it again, it is far more enjoyable (Thanks SiTV!).
What the hell is AT&T smoking? Net Neutrality has nothing to do with phone service at the phone network level. Net Neutrality is all about internet network packet delivery and it is basically an Internet Service Provider issue, not about phone service. Last time I checked Google isn't an ISP (to third parties) while AT&T is for a large chunk of this country and as a major packet routing network (aka backbone provider) between various ISPs. AT&T trying its best to spread FUD as usual as it did in order to get laws passed to ban Municipal ISPs.
I hate clutter at the top of the screen, eating up valuable viewing space for bigger pictures and such.
That's why Full screen mode exists by pressing F11 to toggle the mode on and off. This mode has existed in both IE and Firefox/Mozilla for over past a decade.
From what remember back from the 97' through 2000 years Descent 1 and 2 were the most popular games played via Kali and Kahn (my favorite) IPX tunneling networks. I never attended any LAN parties since I didn't live near any of them at the time, but damn I sure did wanted to. My friends thought I was nuts for using keyboard only in both games. I found it distracting having to use both keyboard and joystick whenever I tried it, so I just stuck with keyboard instead even though those who knew what they were doing using a joystick were usually the ones kicking my ass majority of the time.
When Descent 3 came along that's when Descent as a series died, since two major fail points: It wasn't about the encoded area dog fighting anymore and the damn mass driver sniping weapon encouraged no dog fighting. Second, the game play was really lagged for online play since the absolute moronic idea for the game to operate over TCP/IP for online game play (WTF?). Descent 3 also didn't scale very well with any graphics cards except did OK with 3DFX since the game engine was primarily developed to work with Glide API instead of Direct3D or OpenGL. Sure, it did have some graphics plugins to work with other APIs, but those were just an after thought wrappers that went from Glide to Other_API. Just like with Dynamix Tribes 1 & 2 graphics was all done with OpenGL and had OpenGL to Direct3D wrappers which also worked pretty poorly.
Now as for a reboot or a come back, nobody knows since nobody has any idea who owns the rights to Descent. Interplay owns the trademark, but what about the game mechanics and such? That was supposedly owned by Outrage Entertainment, but now defunct. Hopefully it will happen, but I doubt it anytime soon.
but in the real world security through obscurity works, even if you like it or not.
It's working alright, for those who exploit unknown vulnerabilities to create problematic disasters such as botnets. And then there was those instances of flaws discovered in Diebold Election Systems (now known as Premier Election Solutions) voting machines too.
When you CLOSED the last parenthesis of your C code and realized that no one could follow your programming but you, even when you formatted it perfectly.
It sounds like you've confused C with Lisp. Not to mention it isn't limited to just C that it can get difficult to follow along in source code and I'm not sure why you've singled it out since Java and C# are heavily biased in design by C (and C++ on top of that) and aren't any easier to understand, nor is Ruby, Python, Visual Basic (the original, not the.NET variant), Pascal, etc..
I absolutely love Team Fortress 2 for having the game voice responses and taunts this way. I laughed so hard when I as a Scout killed a sniper and my character shouted "It was a mercy killin', ya live in a... camper van!". The spy's response is equally funny "[laughs maniacally] You live in a van! [laughs again]".
I definitely agree with you on the Heavy. He can't seem to say anything that isn't humorous at all. For example somebody as a Heavy was sitting in Red team's hay room in ctf_2fort map and randomly hitting the Negative voice commands over and over. He so happened to say this in order right before I knifed him in the back as a spy: "Oh this is bad! Oh nooooo!".
If E() is your encryption function, x is your data, and f() is the function you'd like to compute, homomorphic encryption gives you a function f'() such that f'(E(x)) = E(f(x)). But at no point does it actually decrypt your data.
Many MSDN subscribers use a computer for mixed use--both design, development, testing, and demonstration of your programs (the use allowed under the MSDN Subscription license) and some other use. Using the software in any other way, such as for doing email, playing games, or editing a document is another use and is not covered by the MSDN Subscription license. When this happens, the underlying operating system must also be licensed normally by purchasing a regular copy of Windows such as the one that came with a new OEM PC.
So by installing a copy of Windows of which you are legitimately using by having a MSDN subscription and had received it by downloading it from MSDN site, and then editing any document or configuration file (such as the Windows registry maybe?) via not using their developer tools then you're using the operating system outside of the terms of use... Wow nice licensing there Microsoft.
What broadcast range limitations do you speak of? According to the FCC ATSC should surpass NTSC's coverage in distance: http://www.fcc.gov/dtv/markets/ Now there are issues with any stations broadcasting below channel 7 in the VHF band, but FCC is allowing those stations to kick up the output power quite a bit to compensate for that.
Last time I checked Microsoft never documents what updates actually do. They just give very vague one-liners and expect you, the user, to know exactly what the hell they're talking about. Also people install.NET service packs to fix.NET application issues, not to all of a sudden have.NET support in Firefox.
I agree about using MediaPlayerClassic as an alternative to VLC on some media. For example I have been using VLC (0.8.6 is my favorite version) for years to watch DVDs so I can bypass the no-skip bullshit DVD commercials, but some new DVD movies are no longer working with VLC. Taken is one of them. I can view the menu and such just fine, but the second the actual movie is played VLC just gets a bunch of errors in the debug window and then stops playing as if I hit the stop button. I even tried the latest release of VLC on videolan's site and it instead crashes with a runtime error and has to end the program instead of failing gracefully like v0.8.6 did.
After getting aggravated after a while I decided to give MPC a try and it unfortunately supports the full DVD spec that enforces the no-skip bullshit, but I was able to successfully watch the movie in its entirety without resorting to having to go and install the bloated PowerDVD or what have you players out there that has far more problems than VLC when I use to use them in the past.
It makes me wonder just what FOX did to the Taken movie chapters that causes VLC to freak out, yet somehow it still works with old DVD set top players.
One idea, based on what I have seen work abroad, is to mandate, for a limited time, a fee of $1 on all Internet connections.
How about.... No. Since you're so free with everybody's money how about you give up your entire paycheck to them, ya know for just a limited time of a couple of decades... naw that won't work since you'll already be use to giving everything up, you'll mind as well just continue to pay til the day you die. Since after all til death is still a limited amount of time, right?
Besides we don't need yet another credit system since we already have enough and absolutely have zero cause to have another.
What the hell.... slashdot stripped my "<troll>" tags off the last sentence in "Plain Old Text" posting mode.... So slashdot is now filtering HTML in plain text posting now?

Why don't they take disciplinary action against offenders?
Too much money involved. You don't want to upset those who are feeding you money now don't you?

A developer would use their MSDN Windows license. They wouldn't be buying a box at retail. Unless they're really stupid. That marks D off your list.
Might want to check the MSDN Subscription Software Use Rights. Especially this interesting part:
Many MSDN subscribers use a computer for mixed use--both design, development, testing, and demonstration of your programs (the use allowed under the MSDN Subscription license) and some other use. Using the software in any other way, such as for doing email, playing games, or editing a document is another use and is not covered by the MSDN Subscription license.

A la carte cable would be the death of 75% of cable channels out there.
