A few days ago ZoneAlarm reported the iexplore.exe was changed, and I don't recall downloading any updates. Hope this wasn't it. Avast should pick up an infection, right?
I hate the fact that you're still dependent on logging into Steam to play the game. Sure, you can set it for "offline" mode, but to do that you have to, guess what, Log In! So your internet connection goes down, or Steam rolls out a huge update and everybody and their grandmother are pushing steam servers into non-responsiveness (as happened with the TF2 update earlier this year), what then? You can't play HL2 Episode 3 or whatever other single player game you purchased through them until the connection's back.
Other than that, it's nice to play without worrying about CDs or malware installed on your computer to make publishers feel more secure.
Don't forget The Phantom. These are all based on old comic book heroes, which seem to follow a certain pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if there were also The Shade, The Ghost, The Poltergeist, etc....
2. Wait until pirate is within range and intentions are clear.
3. Throw the covers off the guns and blast them into next year.
This is the problem right there. If the Blackwater behavior is any indication, pretty soon any fishing boat within 5 miles of such a "Q-Ship" will be dead meat.
I have never quite understood the instance, some people seem to have, that you cannot prove God exists while insisting it is possible to prove he doesn't.
Technically, you could prove God doesn't exist for certain definitions of God. For example, I'm reasonably sure you could prove that omnipotence is impossible, thereby proving the non-existence of an omnipotent God. Well, I guess you'd have to have a strict definition of "omnipotence" as well....
Unfortunately, my brother thinks, that as long as you can copy it, then why would you buy it at all? It goes without saying, that his views to not fit with mine. Somehow he does not "get" the morality that is involved in being motivated to not hurt the developer if he's nice to you too.
And strangely, he's a media industry manager, who does not get why DRM is so evil, too.
Just from these two examples (which I admit is a rather small sample for in depth analysis) I think your brother just doesn't get "morality" in general. All's fair in love and war, and life is war, right?
The article (and even the Slashdot summary) makes it quite clear that under the new Canadian law, it's necessary to prove that there was intent to re-distribute the illegal recording before any charges can be laid.
Not quite....
Until the new law took effect in 2007, prosecutors had to show evidence of distribution to get a conviction; now, recording without permission is sufficient.
An interesting book by Carl Sagan points out that the size of babies' heads seems to be bigger than women's pelvises were designed to handle, but they're already pretty much at their limits as well: any bigger and women would have a hard time walking.
So women just need to give birth earlier, and babies need to survive earlier births better. Sounds like a job for evolution.
Yes you need to explain it! Particularly why I would want to use sftp at all when I have scp!
scp is good if you know the file path on the other machine, or you set up scripts/aliases for commonly copied files/paths. sftp is good if you need to do some exploration.
I'm sorry, but if I bet $$ that the existence of God cannot be proven by science, I will not accept that I lost just because someone decided to call the Higgs Boson "The God Particle" and it stuck.
Do the yard signs read your thoughts and beam them to a satellite? Are they emitting high levels of gamma radiation? Are the dating sites linked to Al Qaeda?
Responding to a an anonymous post or one from a stranger, titled, "Sex with my 4-year-old" pretty much establishes an intent to view illegal material.
Yes, if they really did respond to that post. Do you know what a rickroll is? Anyone could send you a link titled "check it out, tiger riding a horse!" which takes you to the same exact page as that anonymous post. Only thing you'd be guilty of is stupidity for clicking on a link in an email. Only thing you'd be found guilty of is child abuse.
In that case, the "environment" (which I guess includes society now) is more or less static, which means without major societal changes (not promoting eugenics in the least, it would certainly be such a change) or some natural or man-made disaster, biological human evolution is done with. But hey, there's always genetic engineering to make new babies stronger / faster / smarter / with wings.
All we need is a disaster like an epidemic that wipes out all non-immune people. Punctuated equilibrium FTW! Of course it won't give anyone laser vision....

So, it's a more consistent magic 8-ball?
Don't use it to load content; That's what CSS and XML are for and it renders faster anyway.
So "don't use Ajax", is that it? You know, quite often reloading a div is a whole of a lot faster than refreshing an entire page.
Fatal Error.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the summary.
Come on, McCain is obviously Darth Vader. Used to be a Knight, got corrupted by the Dark Side.
And I bet if the handcuffs are too big and slip off, the kid gets charged with resisting arrest....
And that right there is the type of thinking which resulted in human beings being used as bio-batteries.
Obama will almost definitely win the popular vote. The question is whether or not he will win the machine vote.

U.K. will follow in 3...2...1...
And here in the U.S., we won't see for this kind of thing at least for another 3-6 months (3 if McCain is elected, 6 if Obama).
What if you have one of those safes that destroys its contents if it detects being forced?
