Blokus is my game of the year. I started playing it with physical pieces, and still do occasionally, but I play it a fair bit online now too. The other strong contenders are Bang! (a Mafia-esque card game) and a computer game I developed which I can't talk about yet.
I got a new laptop a couple of days ago, so I thought I'd try Ubuntu. Once I got the live CD to actually boot (which required some digging on the 'net and fiddling to change the driver loading order) X wouldn't start. At that point I gave up and installed Debian Etch, which worked first time.
But is it more expensive to pay for the resources necessary to serve over https or to leave your site vulnerable to ISPs injecting things which might annoy your consumer or remove the ads which provide some of your revenue stream?
What about common carrier status? In countries for which this is relevant ISPs have indemnity for data passing through their systems which they merely transfer. However, if they're modifying a page then do they become liable for the its content as a whole, and thus vulnerable to libel etc. charges?
I think it's fairly obvious why so few patents are challenged. It requires an investment of time and money which isn't worth it if you can fly under the radar. And even when you do choose to make that investment there's never any guarantee that the decision will go your way.
See, that's another risk of this kind of information. People may decide not to worry about a pension on the grounds that they won't live to enjoy when there's no certainty of terminal illness but merely a predisposition, however strong.
I'm thinking of getting a second one in a month because I'm moving abroad. It's hard nowadays to get a phone contract without getting a phone, but I will want a phone on a local network so that I'm not paying roaming charges all the time. In addition, my current phone's built-in SMS dictionary doesn't include Spanish, and I'm moving to Spain. I'll keep the old one (which has a pay-as-you-go contract) for use when I'm visiting family.
Why are UK government IT projects always doomed to failure?
My understanding is that the government won't accept GAAP, so very few companies are willing to bid on their projects because of the extra hassle involved in accounting to different standards. The handful of companies who are willing to bid don't have a good record, but the government has committed itself to implementing the system so it's manoeuvred itself between a rock and a hard place.
One of the questions in the summary was "What if the masked target links to a page with an exploit instead of linking to the new photos of Jessica Alba." Using TinyURL's preview mode helps to mitigate against that.
"The Inca suspension bridges achieved clear spans of at least 150 feet, probably much greater. This was a longer span than any European masonry bridges at the time. The longest Roman bridge in Spain had a maximum span between supports of 95 feet." (my emphasis)
And what the post you replied to said is:
"Roman bridges in Spain that still exist extend over 800 meters."
The grandparent post was consciously directly contradicting the article, so I don't see your point.
There's no need to do that. The first page of hits for Donald Kerr already reveals that he played a call boy in a 1933 film called Forty Naughty Girls, and that he moonlights as a Scottish Nationalist councillor.
Do you really WANT to be carrying around a camera, a phone, a PDA, and a laptop?
No. I have no desire whatsoever to carry around a camera or a laptop. I carry around a phone (Nokia 3310 - a real "phone only" phone) and a PDA, and wouldn't want to trade them in for a single device. The only advantage I can see is that I would have a spare pocket, but when I weigh that against the disadvantages of being unable to speak on the phone and skim through my calendar at the same time, running down the battery on the combined device faster than on either of my current devices, and being vulnerable to a single accident, I come down on the side of standalones.
#2 doesn't follow from #1. Responses vary. If a single individual were somehow completely immune to all health effects caused by smoking, that wouldn't have a measureable impact on the average response.
#3 doesn't follow from #2. It's a wild assertion.
#4 doesn't follow from #3. It presupposes that the only distinctions between adults and children, in law and in fact, are physiological. This is the link in the chain which encapsulates his position, which would be stated much more simply as "There is no basis for drawing a dividing line to distinguish those who, on account of their youth, are vulnerable and should be treated as such by the state, and therefore no attempt should be made to draw such a line."
The step to #6, remarkably, is actually valid if you take #1-#5 as axioms, but all in all this is less a chain of reasoning and more an ill-disciplined train of thought.

Okay, I already knew I was special, but to be one of only eight people to use Pine? That's really special!

Surely 25 Msec is over 17 hours, and corresponds to 40uHz.

Do you mean "ex-daughter-in-law" or should that say "late daughter-in-law"?

Will we see a trend towards major websites being served entirely over https?
If you don't think that's impressive, why don't you jump in the ring and try it?

I disagree with your claim that it's "perfectly reasonable" to call a subjective opinion objective.
Start the fsck with nohup first.

I think you're confusing Britain with mainland Europe. The British system is the adversarial system on which the US one is modelled.
Obligatory xkcd link.

You mean that there are common forms of Ebola?
Mmm, pineapple. That was a Mongolian restaurant in Quito, Ecuador, though: they may be different in Georgia.
