Totally what I was thinking, though I'm definitely willing to help out people who want to learn the sorts of things that will actually get you a job / gig (i.e. open source languages and *nix skills).
A thats the point. TPB may or may not be illegal in Sweden. But there are countries that do make the assisting illegal. Remember how the Naspter turned out.
I figure if those other countries believe it to be important enough, they should deny access to those websites from their populace.
They'd have to face the ensuing anti-censorship backlash, of course.
To answer your question, yes, there is. Look it up if you want to be spoiled.
That said, I'd much rather see a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger than a sequel to Chrono Cross. Can't we just imagine that Chrono Cross happened in a completely different reality? I liked having the Chrono Trigger characters still alive!
Because Squenix wants to be the next EA: sit back in the shadows letting other people go into crunch time to finish yet another lame remake while slapping your name on it and pulling in the millions.
(In answer to your question, I really doubt they'll make a good Chrono Trigger sequel now. They will, however, continue to prevent fans from doing what they won't.)
Yeah, I'm quite disturbed by all this ICE checkpoint business going on within the US borders, since I'm almost certainly moving there very shortly, and the area in which I will be living will be inside the "Constitution-free" zone.
I'm afraid that I will be one of the people who stands up for my rights, and because of that, I'll be one of the people who is never heard from again.
In addition, if you've participated in the previous XP to Vista free upgrade program (which I did, not because I like Vista, but because hey, it came with the laptop, so why not), you'll know that the last time they did this, only about half the people who applied got their discs. Yay outsourcing the entire program to an inept company!
I'm not saying that all open source software is secure. I'm saying that its security can be verified.
Large open source software (for example, the Linux kernel, which is central to this article) has a chain of approval that a piece of code must go through to make it into the mainline kernel. To get through that chain of approval, it has to be examined multiple times by people who verifiably know what they're doing.
You can't get that sort of open verifiability within a closed source product, or at least, not usually in Microsoft products. Again, you have to take their word for it.
Open source software is like any report in an academic journal.
While a little more informal, it has usually been similarly vetted by competent experts in the field before it's been allowed into the wild, especially in large projects.
Therefore, it's much more reliable than closed source software like Windows, for which you have to take Microsoft's word alone, as opposed to the reviews of several top developers in their fields who approved the commits in the first place.
Plus, tell them to examine their sources; the bias is obvious.
Also, take a look at installing Suhosin, if you have root access to your server. It's a PHP patch that adds more security on the binary level to combat certain common attack vectors like SQL injection (though that said, you should never simply rely on its protection without knowing how these attacks work and how to program defensively).
Speaking of which, PHP itself has a page on SQL injection and how to avoid it, which I recommend that you read and commit to memory if you don't already know about it. Especially for new developers in the PHP world, SQL injection is the number one security pitfall, and if you're uneducated about it, it's very easy to create insecure applications.
If you would like, I am a very experienced developer with about eight years of PHP experience. I can go through your code with you and tell you where you might be able to improve security. My rate is $30 / hour, but it probably won't take too long to give recommendations. If you're interested, please contact me at my first name at jamiearseneault.com.

That second line make me laugh :^D
(Too true.)
So you're saying he's George Lucas?
You like Vista, but dislike XP?
What's it like in your parallel universe? Can I visit?
Nobody's going to raise hell about this, because then that person will be accused of supporting child porn and/or terrorism.
And like, we're all cosmically connected, man...

Does this warranty of which you speak cover the battery?
Ever notice the "Internet Explorer provided by Dell" title bar?

Any pronounceable one or two letter combination followed by 'eh' is officially a word. Futurama proved that.

I personally prefer the way Ubuntu does it. If you like a different way, more power to you!
Just try not to be an asshole like you were just there. Kay? Kay.

Erm... Ubuntu (possibly Gnome?) has had switch user since last April I think. So no need for all this virtual terminal stuff.
Conservatives think that everything bad that happens to someone, everything, is their own fault and they should be able to fix it themselves.
You can't convince them otherwise, trust me.
I find the first version more (sadly) hilarious because it's what actually happened.
Splitting a funny post in two with a mistake corrected in the second post = awesome way to get double karma.
Welcome to the game, sir. Well played.
Canadian passports too. I think there's some sort of international protocol for it, and they're probably in most first world passports now.
That's what I said about your mom last night.
