I remember a well publicized phishing site with the name paypa1.com
Yes, that last letter was the numeral 1. pretty hard to tell, huh? Especially if the font wasn't serifed.
How about those sites which used the multilingual capabilities of certain browsers like firefox to list non-anglo-roman characters into the address bar which looked similar or identical to the literal versions of those letters?
The fact is, the phishers are crafty, generally more crafty then your Average Joe when it comes to internet trickery.
Except that there's a known issue with nvidia boards for the last half year that MS has yet to fix, causing all Silverlight audio to clip like crazy and be at 200% volume with no control.
Seriously, if you were trying to rebut, I didn't grasp that which you were hinting at. Your metaphor is either pathetically weak(13 years vs a few seconds?), a possibility which appears increasingly likely; or completely unrelated.
Two letters, and a voicemail were my contributions. Small as they may be, I'm happy to have been able to contribute something. And it was easy enough to do I encourage everyone to at least do the same.
Wind. Tidal. Nuclear. Hydro. All absent from your statement.
A wind infrastructure with complimentary hydrogen storage systems could theoretically power the world. But the infrastructure is pretty difficult to establish in the first place. But its use has skyrocketed in recent years and is showing a trend to continue to do so.
Nuclear is an excellent short term fix, but cold war frightfuls and hippies with no evidence damn it on near-superstition alone.
Tidal is also a great potential candidate.
Hydro is weak....but it is present.
Also, much of all energy use is done with that dirty coal substance. I don't like it, but it should still be factoring into your peak oil equation.
Also, research in fusion could lead to other fuel sources along the way in the next decade.
When I tell them, yes. That's the point of communication: to get your bloody point across. I've failed at communication if what I said can be paraphrased to mean both "You're cool." and "Kill all infidels."
I don't go to my car dealer and stare him down while uttering, "This vehicle...it bleeds. Lo be those that do so. Fix thusly. Cheese wagon, rolling softly down the goat mouse."
But to be fair, most of the paraphrasing in religion stems from the fact that many people are trying to live based on an instruction manual written over a millennium ago in a different language. Sort of like using the Japanese booklet for an Atari2600 to learn how to configure your American DVR to record your favorite shows.
Last I checked: Hotmail has a spam filter. It also has a junk mail folder.
I assume it isn't psychic and somewhere down the line, a bot reads the mail's content, matches it in both a baysian and literal way and makes a decision as to whether the mail was unsolicited.
Gmail reads the mail, does the same, but also sends keywords to an adbot.
Both read your mail Ballmer, you twit.
The only difference is you guys weren't smart enough to attach the spam bot to the ad bot.
But then you still have the issue of "Big company willing to support me on a tested and true product and have it already figured out." or "Small group, it is free yes, but the UI sucks so badly we'd have to design our own out of our pocket, rely on people who actually -like- that godawful UI for help, of which there won't be any, having modified the UI and all, so we'd have to keep the UI designers around longer for that kind of support, and dive into this head first and hope for the best."
Big people with big money won't even think of it as an option.
But they have to decide whether they want to please their niche or appeal to the greater audience. The niche may like it enough to stick with it. But a great many people, some with influence, some just with experience in industry apps, don't. And not everyone has time or the ability to throw those out the window.
Interesting analogy. So say I have limited time, lots to do and this teh choice between Vi and Open Office to draft a legal document.
Guess which one I'm picking.
I've done 3D. I still do 3D. I don't want a Vi. I want an app that doesn't require constant referencing of various ways to do a command, a way only logical if you manage to trick yourself that it is, a UI that insists on impossibly keeping all pieces of information on toolbars rather then dialogs and windows, as well as not require more effort then is needed to make simple modifications to basic geometry and saturating an industry already full of multiple versions of naming the same tool with even more names.
Please tell me how arming and training Osama Bin Laden helped the world? Please tell me how financially assisting the Saudi Royal Family helped the world? Please tell me how plunging Iraq into an even worse fate then that of the rule of a Stallin worshiping dictator thus providing yet another thing anti-democratic religious fundamentalists figureheads can spew with their propaganda helped the world?
You see, it works many ways. The world may be fucked, but don't think the US doesn't have a large(if not one of the largest parts) to play in it.
The UN is large and ungainly because it grew while its bureaucracy followed in scale. It's not perfect and certainly very slow(though it produces many fine things like Unicef that people keep glossing over). But I am getting sick and fucking tired of the uneducated with no better plans screaming "We need action now!!" and using the UN as some way to just=ify their own gov'ts complete incompetence in international affairs.
Who didn't know they were going to eventually use this? This is why the RIAA and not Empire, BMG, etc... brought all these suits, so they'd have this last ditch effort to break away should this finally explode in their faces.
Still, I wanna shake this woman and her lawyers' hands for this.

Don't tell Greenpeace! They'll declare these resistant hybrids as 'evil' and claim these 'frankenfoods' will destroy all humanity!
Not like they haven't before....

Finding people who will bother to install a pirated Vista thereby requiring said crack.
To quote xkcd.com
"Turing test extra credit: Convince the examiner he's a computer."
Quote the letter. Even lots and lots of it. Post it as a news article stating fact. That's fair use.
Or take chunks of the letter and make fun of them(shouldn't be hard): parody.
All this really stops is scanning the whole letter: style and all, and claiming it to be your own.

Still haven't fixed it. Though at least now it seems their devs have acknowledged its existence.
Watch the video again. They had a picture viewer utilizing identical two handed gestures.
Sorry....what? O_o

Nitrogen suffices. At the moment it's pricier so it's not used as much. However, if Helium goes up, Nitrogen will more then take its place.
Some facilities use exclusively nitrogen to cool their super magnets.
I leave it in there.....for the irony.

And, apparently, spell and write the English language.
