thanks people, all your replies were indeed right. I stated my opinion too strongly, and now you are all streching it a bit more. Let's rephrase that, then 'take everything with a grain o salt', sounds better eh?
re: eating in restaurant - owners will get bad publicity in newspapers if someone got sick there, that does not pay off for them so they care. However microsoft already has bad publicity, and they do not care.
People you have dealt with before, or belong to organization you dealt with, are not complete stragners for you. You know what expect from them - that is the case of debian devs.
So I see now where the problem is in this case: you dealt with wikipedia, so you assume that people from wikipedia are not complete stragers. But in fact this is not true. Anybody can modify wikipedia. Not anybody can fix bugs in debian, he must pass some verification first by someone already,,trusted''.
People with reasonable sense of life will not trust complete strangers. Any information from complete stranger (on the street, or from the wikipedia, what's the difference?) is just that - a information to consider. Ignore it, or verify if it's true before making some real use of it.
OTOH dumb people will always get what they deserve. They will screw their life by trusting complete strangers and also they will screw their PCs, again - what's the difference?
How come, dumb people can expect to be being protected from complete strangers. And by whom? By other stragers? That article is plain FUD.
When anyone will start to consider PGP as a viable solution? I have a key, but really rarely use it. In fact only when I want to send a password to one of my friends. Will this chenge somehow. When all those "supid-proof", uber-popular mail readers will out-of-the box encourage users to use PGP.
Or any other encryption in fact.
Hey, there's a mistake in the summary - this is good for the consumeres.
Finally the industry is discovering that making a sequel of a sequel of some old game is not a receipe for success. Of course Fallout N will sell good like hell. But at the end some companies will die. But most importantly a few other companies will succesfully create a new franchise, that will be good. And will have not only graphics, but the storyline. It's competition guys. Competition is always good for consumers, and bad for companies that fail to innovate.
That makes me think that they do not compete with themselves but with the hardware. Kinda funny if you asked me.
oops, sorry. It was taken out of context, and false. That "local memory" was the memory of graphic card, which is rarely read from (but often written), and that "main memory" (with nice speed 16GB/sec) was actually the system RAM.
like those small crawling spheres that enter through your eyes, and exit through your waste water outlet. Where I have seen that, in 'impostor'? I don't remember now.
forgot to mention that "s" in those queries is actually written as a 'percent's - that's the place where the queried string goes. I just cannot submit %s written as it is written, because it is replaced with 'percent'25s
Interestingly, Google's search toolbar will be available only when Shockwave is downloaded for use with Internet Explorer on Windows.
Of course it targets only IE. If somebody is smart enough to not use IE, then surely he is smart enough to not use msn search or any other crap. He might even conciously choose to not use google, but others!
I play very rarely. It's not possible for me to make online friends, and I don't plan on doing so. I played AO for some time (lv 50), but gave up due to lack of time. Now if I want a quick relax I run nexuiz, there is always somebody online, but not to much. And I always can have a quick FPS sparing, whenever I need it.
if you want to check what tv show it is - it means that you like it, and want to watch later/tell your friends about it. Google can sell data about tv shows popularity to interested parties, that will know where to plant ads (or they could place ads themselves...). It also can be used to determine an ad price for a given show.
I'm not watching tv for 4 years now, it feels great. If I accidentally see some of it somewhere I'm shocked at how dumb it is.
A famous incident involving molasses was the Boston Molasses Disaster on January 15, 1919, in which a large molasses storage tank burst and flooded a neighborhood of Boston, killing 21 and injuring 150.
Ok, so how do i know if the submitter is native english speaker or not? According to wikipedia, billion - english speakers think that billion is 10^9, while non-english speakers think that it's 10^12. It is troubling me, because I wanted to quickly calculate what's the size of the pixel matrix, but I can't because of that ambiguity:(

AFAIK, guys from linuxbios (I'm lurking their mailing list) already have it.
but with the source code too!
to all who replied.
,,trusted''.

Ok, I managed to wget the final screenshot, enjoy: http://cosurgi.googlepages.com/iemess2.jpg
I saw once this tag used for this submitter. Let's use it from now on! (/me tags pigpile)
ok, then

I think it was in 'island', a medical doctor used it to diagnose a patient. And it was very painful.

I think without http:/// at the beginning, the addresses' characters are not replaced. There are only some extra spaces
wow, I can submit. it just doesn't work inside an URL ;)

those guys should use this cheap high speed camerea array
I've just sent SMS. It feels good :)
I hope that people from bluefrog will release source of their utility. This new initiative could surely benefit from their sourcecode.
