I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that. Nothing is more frustrating than being in the middle of a game which needs online connectivity and everything freezes because your connection sagged/server overheated/too many people online or the service you're connecting too just puked. No thanks.
I'll take HTML5 over flash anyday but if there's an installable version of your game, I'm buying that before I'll ever pay for some crappy cloud-based flavor.
thanks for an awesome cross-platform alternative. i have been using lightning/sunbird for over 5 year and have watched it mature. lots of good bug fixing on the dev team end. thanks!
if you cant get the data off using are a standard data dumper (eg dd) you are pretty much hosed.although sometimes diferent disk drives will have the heads aligned a little differently resulting in diffeent results. if dd cant read it your done.
When your browser opens a connection to a web site, it creates a client-side socket and makes the request over that connection. The web server services that request, sends a reply, and then can opt to close the connection or wait for more data from the client (persisten connection). Not all web sites (services) use persistent connections and not all operating systems/web browsers keep the client side socket open for "more data".
Think of it this way: It's not like making a phone phone call where both ends are established and a magic counter begins runing. The technology was never engineered to do that. It's more like tying a message to brick and throwing it over a wall and then waiting for another brick to come back with a replay attached. You really have no method to tell for sure if the website you were connecting to actually threw the brick back. You have no method to tell if the attached reply wasn't intercepted on it's way over the wall.
The best you can hope for is a timestamp from your border gateway showing the egress connection. You can extrapolate how long a person _may_ have been on a site by looking at the duration their machine was opening connections to it.
Best way to vote is with your dollar. If you don't like the way corporate conservatism is further corrupting the US economic/political system then man-up and stop supporting the megacorps. There's other ways of routing/firewalling network traffic if you are not afraid to have the skills.
Maybe what the "blogosphere" needs is to implement crowd-based moderation systems (like slashdot's, or stackoverflow) on any site taking user content. Ain't saying it's great, but it's nice not seeing all the static under certain mod levels. It's a shitty thing the guy did but making laws based on one horrific incident is usually bad (eg: Patriot Act, Homeland Security, TSA, etc..)
My concern is that in prosecuting this one individual using legal means it will open the door to an already disturbing trend of removing freedoms or censorship (It's legal to record cops but people are still getting brutalized for it).
x86 and uses less power, has more efficient floating point operation and CPU instructions 0_o
No way would I want an x86 chip on my mobile device. The power consumption alone is going to require a ton more battery. Beside, Intel already has a near monopoly on the windows desktop why give them another arena.
He runs a hacked version of CP/M on a DEC PDP-11 (on an upgraded Fonz-11 chipset) and a 300 baud modem for internet access. After being locked up for so long, he's had a hard time adjusting to all the newfangled gear running around.
Rumor has it the news of his setup emerged when he brought in a fried Qbus board to a local Radio Shack looking for some replacement ICs. Since it wasn't an RC car or Cell phone, he had to explain what the board was what it did. Alas, they had no ICs in stock.
If anyone is interested in a boycott, Liberty Media (Starz) also has investment* in the following businesses:

Netflix pisses me off. We used to do the snail-mail CDROM but then got a boxee box so cancelled the CDROM delivery. Found out later you can't get the same titles streaming as you can through the mail (WTF!?). Then, I find out about Starz but most of the offerings are grade-b crap that was out prior to 1996.
I know Netflix is trying to stay above water and offering a lot of titles for a low price but c'mon. I can drive down to the video store in 5 minutes and pick up a newer title than what I can get off Netflix. If Starz leaves, it's not like the selection is going to get any worse.
It seems the only thing tax payer dollars are doing in the courts these days is paying for these corporate patent mongers to try and screw each other. Can we bankrupt them all and start over?
Even though knowing this isn't an uncommon practice at the corporate level it still makes me a little sick to read about the shameless expense fund. The harassment allegations almost seem like a secondary grievance.

Have Dr. Sbaitso read a hex dump of your backups to your parrot an let him go. You'll have redundant backups forever.

Intel is apparently running the ray tracing process on the same server their blog is on.

Sounds like Intel is basically crowdsourcing the universities for it's research. They can go back and apply for the patents themselves.
A valiant effort on Hotfile's part but they'd have better luck pulling hairs out of a honeybadger's ass than getting that lawsuit to stick.

all you need to do is have google verify the person opening the account is who they say they are... oh wait..
