The problem is that some games don't run unless you are in administrator group (at least this was the case with my windows 2000). And what do kids primarily do with the computer?
they were sending mass mail to him directly. If he was smart, a quality firewall would cut them off.
Ok you are obviously pretty smart yourself. Please post a link to such firewall product that would block all of my spam mail.
I'm currently using spamassassin and still getting about 2 spams per day, thank god it blocks almost all spam (about 100 per day).
If you are hosting large amount of email accounts, filtering all spam will consume most of your cpu power and 2 spams per day will consume most of you HD space.
If all voting would be done with paper and pen like it is done in every european country, cheating would be much easier to detect afterwards (unless of course some strange supreme court verdict that forbids the recount of votes, never heard of any similar verdict in any other western country)
In US it's now impossible to detect cheating if there is no paper trail. You just have to believe what the machines say and machines are buggy.
I wonder if the Georgia vote fraud would have ever been detected if they had used voting machines.
I'd really like to hear about these "major news sources"
Forgot to answer that one, here you are (hope links work okay, these files were moved constantly from address to another yesterday)
There are screenshots at least from Kaleva (biggest magazine in nothern finland), iltalehti (biggest tabloid or whatever it's called in finland), yle (national finnish tv) text tv, ylex (national finnish radio), mikrobitti (biggest finnish computer 'hobbyist' magazine), itviikko (biggest weekly it-magazine for corporations), digitoday (biggest it internet news service in finland, owned by kauppalehti, biggest financial news magazine in finland) and there are propably many smaller magazies that just haven't gotten there.
I bet you've seen the pictures of the list when it still was there, but if you checked the same list later, there was no link, somebody took it out.
There is no need for conspiracy theories (at least stupid ones), helsingin sanomat just shows only latest news on their sites news list. If you want access to all news, you need to pay for them.
I bet the same thing applies for text tv, the news got old, other things got the space.
As I stated, BSA and Microsoft (who were ultimately behind the raid according to police) WANT the publicity so why would they want to hide the news? Or are you suggesting that there is some secret pirate conspiracy that wants to hide the news to avoid panic in transferring pirated files?
Your assuming that people who have visited MSN for years are going to stop just because it's not automatically the home page.
The same thing happened to netscapes portal. Of course there will be some/quite much traffic but not nearly as much as there have been when people have been automatically transferred there when they open their browser. I know a lot of people who don't even know how to change homepage for their browser.
This is exactly why some operators/portals give (or gave some years ago) out "free" internet packages where customer always had forced homepage on their site.
So it seems now, didn't work when I posted the last entry.
Google seems to be changing things every second, some half hour ago link on their front page pointed to the old groups again, now it points to the beta (oops now when I reloaded the page it points to the old version again). They posted item about new groups on their google blog and now it has been deleted.
New interface is also worse than before and new placement of ads to the new right column restricts post width much more than before when ads were part of the left frame.
I'm really disappointed, especially when there is no option to use the old google news (news.google.com just redirects to beta).
I'm now thinking of switching to some other news search engine, what is the best alternative? I don't want to post, just search. Any suggestions?
That's about the same thing as downloading copyrighted high-res photos from some news agency site and reducing resolution and publishing them as part of a news article.
No it isn't.
YES IT IS!
Okay.. Sorrysorry.. First of all, I read the link someone posted, so it seems that in usa publishing thumbnails is legal.
I just don't see any difference between the example I gave and using reduced size images to some other commercial purposes. Yes-no-yes-no-yes argument leads to nothing. Could you please describe exactly how do you think these two cases differ?
Google displays thumbnails, not copies of the original images.
Image resolution has nothing to do with copyrights.

The USA helped install General Pinochet, a dictator with a fondness for torture, in the 1973 CIA-backed coup in Chile. Ironically, the date of the coup was September 11.
Not to mention that US did back up both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
Skype doesn't do anything special, other than lock its "customers" into a proprietory VoIP network.
How does it lock its customers? I concider myself quite a loyal "customer" of skype (spent some 50 euros last 3 months to skypeout), and only reason why I haven't switched to something are cheap prices to mobile/regular phones around the world and easy installation.
All the "standard" SIP soft phones that I have tried have been so complicated that I've decided to keep this unstandard little piece of software until something better emerges.

Another woderful proof of how great software/algorithm patents are.
the sco case is not about software patents, it's about ownership of unix in general
There's a lot more information at groklaw

Or maybe you should really study the Definition of currency

BSA and microsoft will propably want to get as much news coverage as possible, why would they want to hide the raid?
This is exactly why some operators/portals give (or gave some years ago) out "free" internet packages where customer always had forced homepage on their site.
With this strategy they have already become the second most visited site on the web. If IE's market share will drop, so will MSNs visitor amount.

Not a very well done rollout.
Another nice new feature of google groups:

"Bit unstable"? It was world war II for gods sake. There was no Russia at the time, it was definitely The USSR from who we did gain our freedom.
(And yes, it was Russia who conquered finland from Sweden in the first place)
By the way Finland is a part of scandinavia, at least that is what everyone here in scandinavia think and what is tauhgt at schools and universities.
YES IT IS!
