There are first malicious programmers that try to infiltrate mozilla users. An example ist http://xxxtoolbar.com/ (sexually explicit!) that tries to install an "toolbar" per XPI. Fortunately this needs an Win32 system and a users who clicks without thinking.
The latest version of firefox doesn't enable the install button for 2-3 seconds which means there should be less people just installing random crap without reading.
Why would anyone go for an alternative?, Windows total cost of ownership is far lower then free software alternatives, independent studies have proven it, Microsoft is your friend, freedom is slavery.
Seriously though since what you're creating needs to be run on every machine in the place (If I understand right) even if they are only running a couple of Linux/Mac machines it could easily be a deal killer if those few machines can't be connected up so it's probably a good idea to go for cross platform support.
Are they being overly paranoid? Can cellphones really disrupt your average PC in as much as they might ignite petrol fumes...
I've seen monitors flicker badly a few times when someone made a call standing near to them but I'm not sure if it'd cause any permanent damage it was a CRT monitor, I think TFT screens are immune to that kind of thing but I could be wrong. If mobile phone signals could actually cause serious permanent damage to electronics then your phone would be the first thing to go, right?
Every European citizen can vote for representatives in the European Parliament every five years -- next month will be an opportunity to do so
Indeed June 10th in the UK and probably other countries, not to start a nasty political debate but the UKIP(independence party, not intellectual property) might be worth voting for if you're Brithish and that way inclined(anti-run by Europe).
I don't know a whole lot about statistics and I know even less about american football but surely the players skill comes into it somewhat meaning someone who is good enough to have a good season last year is more likely to have a good season last year then someone who only had an average season last year?
That's an aweful large round up to $100. From the numbers in the article I got a difference of $67.06 between the cheapest and the most costly.
The difference of $67.06 is between the best and worst brick and morter store (Best buy and Wal-mart), the $100 is between best and worst (amazon and wal-mart).
"Who cares, it will be cracked anyway." NO! it's wrong for it to happen in the first place. Do something about it, or support those that do.
I have no idea why but when you say that I hear:
"They invade our space and we fall back, they assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. But not again, the line must be drawn here! This far, no further!"
How about this email I got about a year ago, I never figured out what they were trying to sell me but i kept it anyway.
Hello,
I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.
I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.
In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit. Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Sunday July 27th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Stand Time. If you miss this timeframe please email me.
42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3' above sea level.
Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now. There is a good chance that sombody will try to redirect the signal. The unit must be teleported directly in a way that nobody will be able to interfere with the transference.
After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.
Thank You

By this reasoning, man would have never left the caves, developed agriculture, or gone into space.
Man did those things because the possible gains outweighed the possible pitfalls we could do a lot of things that would be incredibly stupid like kill half the worlds population with nukes, do you think we should? Technology!=progress, with great power comes great responsibility(and an even greater temptation to misuse that power)
And the counterargument that gets made to comments like yours is that you can burn the tracks to a CD and play it anywhere. You can even re-rip it and listen to the tracks DRM free on 1,000 PCs if you have them.
Which is the exact same end result as fairplay except with quality loss. Apples DRM is an illusion of control, they could sell many more songs to many more people (me included when it comes to the UK) if they'd just ditch the DRM and let people do what they want, pretty much every song is already avalible on P2P so the cat is out of the bag.
I don't know about you, but porn doesn't send me mail, call me, pop in my VCR (even if I had one), or switch my (can't-purchase-individual-channels-yet) cable tv channels to make me watch it.

Interesting how many of these are command line based, I think the phrase I am looking for is "With great power comes great responsibility"

Maybe I'm stupid, but what is IE?
Nah if you were stupid you'd be using it
...Stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye
At $450,000 I'd sell it
What? you have never gotten bananna spam before?
No but I often get asked if I'm satisfied with the size and/or performance of my ba|\|a|\|a

It was copyright infringement...oh wait
All statistics are made up anyways, 3 out of 4 people know that.

Sorry
KCeasy is using the FastTrack network and Sharman Networks servers without consent, simple really.
Except that FastTrack is AFAIK truly decentralised which means that Sharman has no Fasttrack servers.

He got confused with Soviet Russia
Is the title referring to the president and the forthcoming election or the people losing their porn?
I make porn. That's what I do. I work a 50 to 60 hour week.
I'd like to thank you for making the world a better place (I watch porn 50-60 hours a week)
