Except they actually have editors that validate the information and do some basic fact-checking
And wikipedia doesnt? Ok probably they are not paid by wikipedia there are people who subscribe to changes of the article and if someone changes the article they check to see if its accurate. There might not be designated editors for wikipedia but there are a good number of people at any given time who are watching the articles.
Really.. one or two stories is nice..but every other story an april fools joke? allright....allright we get it..its april 1st.. now please post regualar stories. no not the dupes!
Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? Besides, what's so great about taking things out of beta? It ruins all the romance, the challenge, the possibilities, the right to explore. Carpe diem, ya know? Maybe we're jaded, but we've seen all these other companies leap headlong into 1.0, thinking their product is exactly what they've been dreaming of all their lives, that everything is perfect and hunky-dory - and the next thing you know some vanilla copycat release from Redmond is kicking their butt, the Board is holding emergency meetings and the CEO is on CNBC blathering sweatily about "a new direction" and "getting back to basics." No thanks, man. We like our freedom.
Gee.. i wonder who the copycats from redmond are..
Now GNOME developers cannot implement features requested by all users. No one does that!. not even microsoft.
If a feature is asked widely enough and it seems interesting i think the developers would implement them.
I know somewhere in the mailing list someone said "a feature will be implemented only if the developers want to implement it" but i dont think they mean it that way . Probably what they mean the idea should be interesting enough to one of the developers too and should be worth it.
Imagien a groups of people asking for clippy now would any dev want to implement it just because people asked for it ?
The US and other countries could put pressure on China to get them to clean up their ISPs. If you reduce the number of safe-spamming havens, you should reduce the smount of spam.
Well spammers will choose a different country then. It would just be a cat and mouse game, and on top of that its not really a fix to stop spam using the email protocol.
i think something must be done in the email protocol.
This might be a little difficult to do. Spamming is already is illegal in US. But anyone can spam from other countries. And making the US laws apply over there would be difficult.
in my opinion a fix to spam has to come from the software side, not from the government side.
If at all the government provides free internet, would we be able to access porn?. Now seriosuly, the government is trying to mandate what we watch, even when buying the service. So if the government is providing service would there be any regulations? and i havent RTFA.
yes..i checked that. Bit its not able to take out coolwebsearch.. none of the DLL's its looking for are present in my computer. I am trying Hijack this now.. lemme see how this goes.
Even Ad-aware and Spubot S & D won't take care of all the spyware. Ever heard of coolwebsearch? The nastiest spyware. Ive been trying to take that off from my pc from a week without anyluck. While normal spywares can be deleted using adware and Spybot there are some spywares which are impossible to delete for normal users. Coolwebsearch even brings up popups while using Firefox:(
No HHFTTG is not same as harry potter. Harry Potter is fantasy while Hitchhiker is Humor ( and not childish humor). And you are never to too old to enjoy humor.
Give it a try again. you will be amazed. Now that you have grownup you will understand it more.:)

Hand over your geek card. We do things not because we have to, but because we can.

Bittorrent cannot be used for video streams. It can only be used where you are downloading something which can be downloaded in parts.

and legally backed way of opting out of spam.
