Dammit! I always print out both Slashdot discussions and source articles for archive purposes. Now what?
I believe the "Print Screen" button is reserved specially for such emergencies. You can scroll the source article and print out the screenshots. As a bonus, you'd preserve the browser culture of this glorious era.
That's the first thing I thought of when reading the post. Surprised that more people at slashdot haven't picked up on it. Maybe most people are just glad to be rid of the classic hassles of IE6.
I'm more enamored of Vista's Flip 3D feature, which basically takes all of the open windows on your desktop, stands them up on end and stacks them in a way that you can cycle through to the one you want to use. It's similar to what Apple's Expose does... Vista's method wins on aesthetics.'"
I sincerely disagree. I don't want to go flipping though all my windows to see their entire content. I'd rather have them scaled, then point and click on the one I need. I find it more aesthetic to have window content scaled rather than hidden. Just a matter of preference which is more aesthetic.
Links don't take access keys. Links are accessed with the Tab key. Traditionally, hyperlinks are underlined, so the access keys aren't visible, and often there are too many links on a page for access keys to have any value.
Exception: Command links take access keys and have a default selection state. While command links look like links, they behave like command buttons.
People: check on 'No Karma Bonus' when posting side comments. Your every word does NOT warrant being made at +2.
First post was a premature accident. My second post was +1, but then modded +2 'Underrated'. Which is a strange, but some slashdotters are apparently very kind and are happily to forgive me for my sillyness.
B) MS includes all the security they can, possibly making it so that people don't need third party software for security. BAM new anti-trust action because they aren't being fair to people who made a living covering bad MS security architecture in a previous version and aren't being given an equally bad architecture to help "protect" for a profit this go around.
Including security features is not the same as hardwiring them into the OS so that nobody can improve them with 3rd party products. This is about poor interoperation, not security.
So, Microsoft used to be bad on the security front, but at least allowed competition. Now they want to kill off the competition.
Poor product + no competition => very poor product. So the EU has a good point!
It is all well and good with physical books, paintings and various contraptions. But are there standard measures of what a single digital work actually is? Could an album of multiple songs be considered a single work? Thereby, even if 10 songs are infringed, as long as the album is reproduced completely, one is liable for a single infringement (not 10).
I'm confused. How does one define a 'unit' of infringement? I mean, is it a single tarball of albums by the same author, or a single album, or a single song, or maybe a single minute of a song? Surely if I should ever copy a tarball album without permission, I have only infringed once.
If ever there were a toilet that would contribute better to satisfying your bladder motives, this would be it. Don't ask why, don't ask how, it's just cool looking, and has more buttons than a stealth bomber. Complete with 8 hour emergency battery pack, heated seat and 56K modem. It's even equipped with Auto-Flush technology.
ast I checked XP even in safe mode had 256colors and 800x600 res with practically any video card. I'd call that some pretty amazing generic driver support
Isn't that just a case of supporting rudimentary VESA+BIOS?
The problem is that there is not a clear view of a 747 running into the pentagon. Just a streak and a fireball. Kinda like those UFO pictures and videos.
In my CSI mindset, I would recommend an accurate reconstruction.
I take the moral of the story you tell to be that you assume murder doesn't happen outside the US, that the people killed by terrorists don't count for much, that the 25,000 people wounded in terrorist attacks don't exist and require no medical care, and that the considerable disruption of daily life and damage to economies caused by terrorism is of no consequence.
How about the people wounded in car crashes?
I suppose by your reasoning, the attacks on 9/11, and their aftermath, which killed 3,000 people and did $100,000,000,000 of damage to the US economy were just a statistical blip on the radar.
It is better presented as statistic and weighted against other deaths. If nobody carries out comparisons and analysis, we are left blind in the face of real risks. Thats what we do for cancer, heart attacks, murders, hit-runs, rape. Why should terrorism be excluded? Just screaming "think of the children" is very unhelpful.
Chasing ghostly terrorists carries with it diminishing returns. It is too easy to mistake an innocent for a terrorist. Somewhere along the line, it becomes ineffective to spend more resources on catching terrorists. It would be nice to make sure we didn't overstep that mark.
I'm curious, do incidents like Beslan make any impression on you?
I don't see your point here. You think wiretapping would have stopped that? I suggest you familiarise yourself with the political tensions in that particular region before you fling it around as an example.
Do you have any thoughts on if the US should do anything to prevent Al Qaeda from attaining its stated goal of killing 4,000,000 Americans?
Lets start with not arbitrarily attacking sovereign states. Especially ones opposed to terrorism. Not eroding civil liberties. Building an educated society and infrastructure which can recover from disruption more quickly. Imbuing people with a sense of community so that troublemakers stand out from the crowd like sore thumbs.
How about doing some real, scientific intelligence gathering. Not pretending to be able to build an ultimate nuclear defense shield. Not pretending that Internet trawling will give you names of terrorists. Not assuming that everyone speaks in codes like 'strawberry==bomb', and that every holiday snapshot is a targeted attempt at identifying potential bombing sites. How about some real intelligence services, instead of the current scaremongering ones?
I've run Prime95 on two of my boxes. Fine on one. My AMD Athlon XP 2000 (Socket A), which I often suspected to be unstable, reliably dies after less than an hour of running the Prime95 code (originally discovered from running the Seventeen or Bust client, which includes the same Prime95 code). BIOS says temperature is normal, so I'll just blame the motherboard caps for now.
Either way, Prime95 has given proof to my suspicion like no other tool could. I no longer run important/intensive apps there.

Right here.

So you can use the spamhaus' DNS server, querying it directly, using its ip.
Would you like to request a coroner?

So that's how Bender gets along with only 6502...

Okay, one of my few attempts to be funny... and I totally fuck up. Figures. I hate sensitive trackpads. Won't be trying this again for a while.

Those who would give up liberty in exchange for security, deserve neither.
Though I don't fly for a living, I do fly around quite a lot.

That's not quite what I was getting at.

That assumes that an owner is always in control of their box. If the box is full of malware, you can say that anyone at all could have been using it :)

I assume that the there is a simmaler rule for safes/lockbox combinations.
Except that you can't generate a billion safes very easily.
The problem is that there is not a clear view of a 747 running into the pentagon. Just a streak and a fireball. Kinda like those UFO pictures and videos.
