Rule #1: Don't break existing stuff GCC breaks this cardinal rule. It should be reverted.
Using that logic Microsoft shouldn't try to improve security in Windows since it breaks many third party applications that depend on exploits and other silly behavior to function.
When is XP SP3 coming out? I need to do a reformat of my machine. I have the all-in-one SP2 installer and I don't want to have to download all the stupid patches between SP2 and today separately.
More of a social concern about having too many articles; monitoring articles takes time, and having articles on topics that they consider worthless, but that still need to be monitored, causes the amount of eyes watching each article to decrease.
The wider Wikipedia's range of articles is, the more people will take an interest in Wikipedia and the number of contributors will grow, which will also increase the number of eyes monitoring articles.
"Our opinion matters more because we just don't give a fuck."
That's right. Another way to read it is "I'm an impartial observer and don't have a vested interest" which is someone I'm much more likely to pay attention to.
Right now the government has no interest in giving people more rights, especially when it comes to issues involving commerce or speech. In fact, they haven't been interesting in doing that in quite awhile. So I'm not holding my breath for a digital "Bill of Rights". Why don't we ask for truth in advertising for ISPs while we're at it?
It is possible she doesn't know how to edit Wikipedia articles herself. In any case you're not supposed to edit articles about yourself generally. I'm sure she assumed since he is Jimmy Wales, any editing he did would not be questioned.
Tell me please exactly HOW digital downloads are going to happen. There is a reason a new disc was needed for HD, movies take up a LOT of space. Even recompressed a HD movie is several GB, how are people going to download this when there are plenty of ISP's that limit you to several GB per month? That's right, thanks to our ISP's we could MAYBE just download a SINGLE movie before being cutoff. What about the speed? What if I got only a work laptop? Meaning I can only leave it on for a couple of hours when I am home? Do you think your average ISP connection is fast enough for that? Where do I store it all?
Oh, don't worry. The way companies keep merging and getting bought up the distributor of the movie online most likely will be the same company providing your internet connection. They just wont count the bandwidth used for the movie downloads against your total usage. Now if you want to use another service, you're fucked. Isn't provider lock-in great?
But it's okay for now. After all, first a movie studio and a cable company and an ISP all have to merge into one company.
Yeah, but wasn't there something a while back about google street also getting snaps in as high as second story windows and of girls sunbathing?
Yes, but those were second story windows with the blinds wide open, nothing you couldn't see if you were at the same height. The people sunbathing were in their yards and on roofs, in other words, in public.

It does for a wookiee.

It also says quite a bit about Microsoft.
It could be built into the processor in a way that even installing Linux would not allow you to get around it.
And the cost to implement will also include patent licensing for chip manufacturers, not just the production costs as it may for current designs.

If he waits until afterwards, Microsoft may already have access to his personal information.
And unfortunately these are some articles he can't easily edit.
You're too late. The thread was ended with that post according to Godwin's Law.
I already am slightly unnerved when ads for dating sites and such already know where I am, and that doesn't even require a cookie generally.
In capitalist Europe, Google-Doubleclick approves EU!
George Carlin said it better:
"Look at it this way: Think of how stupid the average person is...and realize, half of them are stupider than that."

Considering how much we're spending in what are arguably other countries' wars, I'd find a claim of "excessive cost" for anything laughable.
That's right. Another way to read it is "I'm an impartial observer and don't have a vested interest" which is someone I'm much more likely to pay attention to.
Sounds like a plot for a movie...
Is that to avoid being recognizable by the surveillance cameras?
Heaven knows, some of those drug dealers could use a shower.

Cause you know, movies encoded like that look so much better on a 15" screen with tinny laptop speakers than a DVD does.
You know she prefers you call her mom like you did when you were little.
That's even worse. It sounds like the tagline for a porn movie.
