The gap between what UDP and TCP provides can be met with the application code itself. You could literally implement TCP on top of UDP in your application.
For bittorrent, they will probably implement TCP's congestion control (or something similar that plays nice with TCP) but ignore the reliable delivery aspect. bittorrent doesn't need reliable delivery at the socket layer, it needs it at the whole transfer layer. If connection A drops a piece of data it can be replaced by anyone else that has that data, why force connection A to do it (which is what TCP does).
Most people are talking about killing the pirates before the boat is hijacked. You might be able to argue that that doesn't deserve instant death if there is a way to capture the crew without risking yourself doing it. Reasonable people could argue that.
But, if you are talking about people that have already hijacked the boat and kidnapped the crew, I don't see how you could argue that instant death isn't warranted. If the pirates surrender that is one thing, but I don't think we're talking about that are we.
If you have to hack it to even get it to run, how is this relevant in the slightest?
Because the hack doesn't slow anything down nor would the "hack" placed in the main OS slow anything down. OSX pays the performance penalty of supporting extreme variation in hardware by having drivers and APIs that abstract functionality. The fact that there are only drivers written for hardware that Apple sells is a moot point in terms of performance penalties.
I'll add that the American method produces different outlets with different spins, the equivalent of multiple governments censoring the same news, but you can read all of the different viewpoints (as well as news from outside of the country, blogs etc) and draw your own conclusions.
In a county where news was censored by one government with a defined set of goals applied uniformly, I suspect it is harder to cut through the BS.
I think you're almost dead on. Having a political position is a means to an end, not an end.
Having a known political position guarantees a certain market with your now established brand recognition. If your political view is all over the place, you'll piss everyone off eventually. Hard to keep a steady viewership / readership that way.
At the end of the day it's all about selling advertisements and subscriptions in American news.
Additionally, everyone knows that spammers don't sort by the entire e-mail address, they group by the target domain name anyway for one of two reasons:
1. to efficiently send bulk e-mail to one server for a lot of users.
2. when trying to be stealthy, to spread out the e-mail to one mail server over time.
Sure, you could sort e-mail addresses to weed out duplicates but ultimately you have to group them by domain name.
A variable should not be both a string and integer at the same time. I hate that about both PHP and JavaScript.
Python and Ruby do it the right way, a variable can be anything like PHP and JavaScript but at any point in time, it is either a string or an int. If you have a string you would like to convert to an int, you have to explicitly convert it.
If everyone had perfect knowledge of all risk factors, as did insurance companies, and insurance companies were allowed to charge everyone according to those risk factors, everyone would be better off putting money in an investment account instead of insurance.
The point of insurance is to spread risk around. What's the point of insurance if you are guaranteed to have cancer and have to pay your full bill in the form of a premium?
Haha, so you're saying that the one thing stopping someone from creating a virus to kill all blond and brown eyed people is a database of everyone in the US?
What you're saying I'm sure has a ring of truth to a lot of people reading this.
But Microsoft generally relegates architectural / UI changes like this to service packs. For Apple, service packs are these 10.5.x releases, and there are a lot more of them in a tighter timeframe.
So yes, if Microsoft did the same thing, there would probably be more ill will because we would be having this discussion 1+ year after release instead of less than a month later.
Warriors were the first hybrids that actually worked.
There are 4 basic roles: healing, tanking, dps, and utility. When discussing hybrids usually the four 3 main roles are considered: healing, tanking, dps.
Warriors are generally the best tanks and can also put out raid quality dps. To be the best in either, they need to get the appropriate gear as well as spec appropriately. That's a hybrid.

Agreed. I think a better statistic would be the percent of bloggers jailed vs the percent of journalists jailed.

No they don't.

That's a really touching story but the pirates are armed and attempting to take over a ship with a crew and hundreds of millions of dollars of cargo.
The only thing treating them nicely will buy you is more pirates.
funny yes, but the shell is already root so there is no sudo necessary.

That's just rude.
The correct phrase is hookers and blow.

You can build Flash apps using the Flex SDK in any IDE you want.
Also, Flex Builder from Adobe is based on eclipse.

If they waited any longer, ff 3.1's js engine would have been too fast.
What does the tilde mean? I've seen it a lot lately.
You are right.

I think you mean to say anything outside the light-cone of the big bang is a different universe.
That is fairly defensible, I'd go with it.

It is the security on consoles that makes it so hard. Otherwise there would be torrents of cracked games anyone could download and burn.
I can give you a great argument.

We aren't talking about one user, we are talking about, at least, all w2k users.
They already do charge extra with every customer. How do you think they give away phones with subscriptions without increasing the monthlies?
