Agreed. We can argue about whether evil is worse than incompetence, but the combination of the two is truly fearsome.
If you have have any of these CD's, return them. If you're a fan of any of these artists, write them a letter:

I agree. But sometimes you're forced to use the phone. Tech support, for instance. It would be really nice if I could navigate all those cursed telephone menus on the web, and THEN click to call. Are you listening, Dell?
Whatever the impetus, time limits in mmorpgs is a good idea. The games now not only encourage addictive behavior, but require it. You're just not competitive unless you put in 8 hours a day.
I would propose setting up some servers as time-limited. Players who want to restrict themselves (and thier competitors) to x hours a week or month could play on said servers. Perhaps restrain the time-limits to only apply to leveling behavior. Travel, socializing could be "off the clock".
Yeah, but now you have to worry about whether your officemate's computer is compromised. And I had just stopped giving a shit about other people's computers.
I actually find it quite handy. Install Flashblock, and you've effectively filtered out 75% of web advertising. And 100% of that really annoying, animated advertising.
Yes, but while affect and effect have completely different meanings, thier syntactic usage is identical, so it's impossible to be certain that an error was committed. While here the context makes it clear (I think), I've seen sentences where that's not the case.
Mixing up "let's" and "lets" very seldom causes confusion, as they're syntactically different. I'm inclined to chalk it up as a typo or a spelling error (which warrant more leniency). Mixing up affect and effect is just ignorant.
And while we're at it, I don't think an emoticon can serve double duty as a closing parenthesis.
From what I understand from the article, it is a windows problem. I have to assume -- the author isn't very clear on this -- that the rar archive is really a.exe masquerading as a rar file, via a disingenuous icon. By default, windows hides "known" file types, which makes it hard to distinguish a masquerading exe from something else. This isn't a problem on linux.
Hmm. I've read this article, and the other, and still don't understand what the problem is. How is this exe file presenting itself as a video file? I'm not entirely familiar with RAR, but does the unpacker automatically launch the contents? Who would use such a thing? That would be a fault with the RAR archival program, not BT.
Or does the RAR unpack the exe file, and the user then needs to click on it? If that's the case, then this is a non-issue.
Or, most likely, it's an exe with a RAR archive icon. And now we're back to MS's foolish decision to hide extensions by default, which has been rehashed many times.
But, the problem isn't clear from any of these articles.
Well, the solution is to contract with reputable firms to provide hosting. Spam email servers are routinely blacklisted, even though a portion of the traffic is legit. Is this much different?
Here's a better idea: Move to upstate NY, purchase a 20' KVM cable, and put your computer outside the window. Box runs at a chily 40 degrees (half the year, anyway).

excerpts:
"During off hours, programming teams can partake of the ship's recreational facilities or head for the lights of L.A. on a water taxi, since each worker will be required to have a U.S. tourist visa, Cook says.
"At first blush, admits COO Roger Green, it sounds like they're trying to avoid U.S. taxes, regulations and pay rates. Not so, he maintains. SeaCode will be a U.S. corporation, and the ship will fall under a number of state and federal regulations. Green, who has managed outsourcing projects before, says just 10 percent of every dollar spent will go to paying developers--most of whom will probably be non-U.S. citizens. Remaining expenses will overhead--for equipment and supplies, fuel and other costs--all purchased in the U.S., the three say.
"The company will use microwave and U.S. providers for phone and Internet access, thus addressing a common outsourcing concern: ownership of intellectual property. Under international law, Cook says, the first point of contact with land determines whose laws will apply. "One of reasons we're doing things this way is so U.S law will apply."
I don't see where the issue of legality came from. I don't think the quoted statement from the university implied anything about legality. I would say Cliff is editorializing.
"... was so dissatisfied with Clinton, his cuts to the military, his lack of everything needed to be Commander in Chief, that he left the military."
So your friend left the military, after years of service, because he had a personal distaste for Clinton? Is that what you're trying to say?
And since you haven't seen the news lately, there already is a military "exodus", right now. Except most of the military is stop-lossed, which means the soldiers whose committments are up aren't allowed to leave. See, most soldiers are professionals, and don't really care who the CiC is, and whether or not they think he's a cool guy. They care a lot more about being away from home in enemy territory, undermanned, underpowered, and underprotected.
I actually read some of the documentation, and it's pretty obvious that it's saving web-based email data. Data POSTed to the web doesn't normally end up in the cache.
On the other hand, if a user can install the google desktop search, they can probably install much nastier stuff.
What differentiates Google from MS is that Google is likely to respond to these criticisms swiftly. Here's a solution I propose: Have teh installer take a cursory inventory of the computer, and if it looks like a public terminal (lots of different user accounts sign on to hotmail, intensive activity from 9-5, etc.) require that the administrator account install the sw. Not an admin-level account, but the actual administrator.

How, exactly, is changing the toolbars and menus much different from skinning?
This is the only thing I use paperclips for. I can't remember the last time I had occaison to actually clip pieces of paper together.
I do a lot of work with serial cables, and a decent soldering iron and, above all, a nice clamp is indispensible.

All hail the collective. Where can I pick up my grey jumpsuit and serial number?
Seriously though, what's next? Am I going to be forced to install SETI@Home?

Yes! Brings new meaning to the words 'Software Pirates'!

So now I need to buy a flipbook printer?

If you had this tech, why would you need ID3 tags and file names?
