It's not public yet. When it is ready to be released they'll have it mirrored across many servers. Announcing it early like this causes an effective DDOS on the mozilla server.
Is this a deliberate troll? Either that or you've never used RealPlayer for Linux.
RealPlayer for Linux has no spyware, is not bloated (it has a standard and fairly minimal Gtk2 interface, whereas the Windows version uses a custom interface), and I've not encountered any bugs during my brief encounters with it.
If everyone in China started referring to the "New York Times" as the "Chicago Times", would you expect everyone in New York to know it as the "Chicago Times" too?
Forget the incorrect numbers of bits and the lack of humour, I'm more worried by the submitter's reference to the "London times": there's no such thing. The newspaper is called "The Times". Where did the "London" come from? It's a national newspaper, so calling it "British Times" would be less wrong...
AFAIK the game will use DirectX 10, but Bungie are saying it won't require a DirectX 10-level graphics card. There's a difference. If you have a graphics card that supports DirectX 9 features, you'll be OK.
FileShack, part of Shacknews are going to be filming the demos/trailers/videos with their HD camera, as they did last year.
They have a queue-based download system that's free, although queues will probably be pretty long during E3. I do believe, however, that the first month's subscription, allowing you to skip queues, costs $1.

They do, via the Radio Times (which is a BBC service/publication).
I suspect you know, since you used quotes around "for profit", but the BBC isn't run for profit, it's a public service.
Personally, I would feel a bit disappointed if my licence fee was used to pay an extortionate amount of money to a 'designer' for a new look. If this competition does result in a better BBC website, then it will have been cheap and tha can only be a good thing IMHO.
Mondex was (or is) also used in universities for paying for laundry machines, amongst others. My university used it but switched to their own similar scheme just before I joined. The problem was that you could only credit your cashcard's account by putting in cash at one of a few machines dotted around campus. Washing machines were 30 seconds away from my room, but the nearest credit machine was 10 minutes' walk. The machines started breaking down, refusing to accept notes, so it started to become hard to actually find a working machine to let you credit your account. It was just a massive hassle to use the system. Needless to say, after one term they switched all the washing machines to just take coins.
Exactly what I thought. America is not the world. You're lucky I recognise the names of all the states, now you want me to remember their acronyms as well?
I can understand that it's difficult as a website editor to know what to write, what things people from other countries will or won't know, but some attempt at acknowledging the existence of the millions of non-US English-speaking people would be nice.
Firewalls don't help in this case. The flaw allows attackers to execute code of their choice on a system when the victim views a WMF file (on a website, for example).
Of course, it's perfectly possible to live in Britain and not have a TV licence - as long as you don't watch TV.
And limiting access by IP is dangerous. As a result of my ISP buying its broadband wholesale from a large European business ISP, I'm living in England, but my IP addresses always seem to come from the German address space.

90% of people online may use IE, but ~0% of people capable of writing such a plug-in are using IE.

Don't people use firewalls anymore?

Should we tell them they've plastered "GP2X" all over the website, but the device clearly has "GPX2" written on it?
