I wonder how much income tax revenue New York has lost out on now that New York-based Amazon affiliates can no longer earn money from Amazon.
I wonder how this lost income tax revenue for commissions on worldwide sales referred by New York-based Amazon Affiliates compares to the amount of sales tax they lose out on for Amazon sales to New York-based customers.
I'm guessing that New York shot themselves in the foot on this one.
Blizzard signed the advertising deal with Massive to display ads on the battle.net website ONLY. They've specifically stated that it doesn't cover in-game ads. This has been reported here as well as in many other stories that can be found with a Google search.
So, hopefully no in-game ads from Blizzard. I don't know about the other publishers listed.
The spec for W3C can say whatever it wants. If the standards body makes a mistake, like blessing useless DRM where it doesn't belong, the rest of the web will kindly ignore the stupid standard. Seriously, IE isn't standards compliant, what would keep Mozilla, Safari, any of the other browsers from simply ignoring this?
How about the fact that being standards compliant is one of the main advantages that Mozilla, Safari, and other browsers currently have over IE?
IE ignoring W3C standards has significantly weakened the usefulness of the standards. If other browsers are forced to also begin ignoring the standards due to BS like this being adopted then the existence of the standards will become pointless.
It strikes me as funny that the people who signed up and paid extra in order to get through security faster will now most likely be subjected to extra screening because they're on a "possibly stolen identity" list. They'd have been better off if they'd never signed up for Clear and just continued going through the regular security line.
Video game consoles have multiple controllers and a large monitor. But the consoles sold in English-speaking countries have a lockout chip and historically anti-indie policies.
Imagine if the passphrase to your key was the contents of a large binary on your system.
Even better, set your passphrase to:
"Amendment IV: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
That way even if they do crack it they'll probably die of shame as they're typing it in.
He probably transferred a chunk of money into a country without an extradition treaty way before he got caught. He had a ton of money floating around before he was busted. It only makes sense that he set up an escape plan in case the spam hit the fan.
How about Charter customers in these markets running programs during their computers' idle cycles that search for random keywords and visit random sites? If enough people do this the data they're collecting won't be very useful. Maybe this could be packaged as a Firefox plugin or a SETI@home style screensaver?
To me the larger issue is the Ron Paul votes that were missing then found again only after the officials were called out on it. This is a very serious problem that can't be refuted or explained away, and I hope it's not overshadowed by the Clinton/Obama issue.
"Totally agree. What's next, boycotting google image search because it doesn't automatically load all the blinking flash ads on the pages the thumbnails came from?"
The difference between adblock and Google image search is that individual webmasters can opt out of having their images listed in Google image search. If a webmaster decides that the cost of serving the images without the ads outweighs the benefit of bringing more people to their site then they can choose to exclude their content from the image results. There's currently no way for webmasters to effectively choose not to serve content to users of adblock.
To gain increased security from emerging threats, such as viruses, worms, spam, spyware, adware, malware, hackers, and phreakers, among others.
Thank God! I can't stand it when those little punks break into my house and use their newfangled "blue boxes" to make free long distance phone calls from my Windows PC!
Psychology is definitely not my field, but I find this very interesting. Are there any correlations between these five types of intellegence? For example, are those with high logical-mathematical intelligence more likely to also have high linguistic intelligence?

"...and d) that the deception is revealed to the participants after the study and that the real reasons for the study are given, along with the opportunity for the participant to opt out from having his or her data included."
Does this part about allowing participants to opt out from having their data included apply to anonymous aggregate data (such as the overall percentage of participants who gave out their login info)?
If so, then I see an easy way for a large group of upset participants to ruin this study without having to resort to legal or administrative action.

"ah, but what about a LAN war? Thats good to go right?"
Sorry, no. In response to the changing technological and political landscape all international conflicts must now be run through battle.net.

Change your keys regularly, and revoke the key as soon as you have the slightest doubt it's been compromised.
/me gives Redhat a dirty look.

In that case it sounds like a well thought out and beautifully executed idea! Where do I sign up?
So how is this any worse than the current state of the XBox360, where consoles may or may not have 720p?
...and may or may not have a hard drive, memory card, wired or wireless network connection...

This has already been cracked... With gelatin!
I can see it now: Street corner DVD pirates will be providing gelatin finger-keys with each DVD they sell.
I had the same issue. Restarting sshd on the 10.4.0 system fixed the problem. I have no idea what caused it.

Where can I find more info on this?
