You paid for it... I hear you get support with that. Much better support than IRC, mailing lists, or direct email addresses of potentially helpful developers. How did your paid support work out? If it didn't help, were you able to sue them for damages?
How did such an intense fire start in the building? I understand that there was debris from the other building, but seems like you would need a better than average fuel source for such an intense fire.
I remember on CNN, one of the researches claimed that this was the first recorded event of firing taking down such a structure. So how many unlikely events happened in that one (12 hr?) period? I often hear Occam's razor being suggested to push against ridiculously unlikely events. Any one know what is the approximate probability of that 12hr period occurring as officially stated?
Just seems to me, that if all these things did happened accidentally (aside from the actual hijacking and plane crash part), this is approaching the miraculous/"God did it"/fate level of likelihood.
Oh, and one more question, which I probably might know the answer to if I had read the full report: did the research set out to virtually replicate the collapse? Or did they model the entire environment and scenario, and threw it at a physics engine to see what would happen?
Targeted mode is actually the weaker of the two modes. The other mode, whose title I've forgotten, checks everything. While targeted mode only does... targeted apps.
In all fairness, and not to paint them in a bad light. The sequence was more like immediate action, and then full disclosure. But I got the feeling that the delay was due to some legal issues.
For quite a few years it has been my observation that Microsoft is first and foremost a marketing company. So things like this seem perfectly valid. As long as their don't use those dollars to spread FUD, seems like a fair move on their part.
I have explicitly asked my web host provider for either SFTP or FTPS. They basically said that it wasn't possible to provide that on a shared host. This seems untrue to me, I just can't state it as a fact since I haven't attempted it myself. But to get what the OP wants, one would essentially need a secure file system implementation on top of FTP. Ie. only the client can see the unencrypted file, not the in between transport over FTP, or the server side disk drive.
I get the feeling from you that you trust it now. I find this confusing myself. Considering that an apparently large portion of Slashdotters very much consider themselves rationalist who do not believe things without proper evidence, it seems weird to me that many simply believe what they see in the news. These past week (maybe 2) there were at least two cases circulating around the internet where it had been observed that CNN has used footage from one event, trying to pass it off as that of another event. And that's pretty low tech.
News reports should be only be as trusted as logic can be applied to the report.
Take for instance the recent story of a Russian sipper shooting at a reporter. A few questions came to my mind:
What kind of sniper takes such a shot and misses?
What kind of sniper misses, and doesn't take a second shot?
How does one tell the affiliation of a sniper? Do they sign their bullets or something?
News stories should be treated as untested pieces of evidence -- in most cases at least. The advancement of technology will only make it more difficult to tell truth from fiction.
To the MythTV dev team. Thanks for the sweet product. It wasn't a 1 click install-setup, but it was well worth the time. MythTV makes watching tv bearable, sometimes useful. (especially now that Science channel is on basic cable)
I've found implementing a simple "please choose the name of the item seen bellow" eliminates a large amount of spam (all?) but has the problem of not being viable for blind people.

All kidding aside, a pirated copy of Windows is often easier to install or at least easier to get along with.
Just not every time someone wants to see their work.
I don't block unobtrusive, sometimes helpful, Google ads.
I'm sure such a plane could be built that would "eject" the cockpit, and have the pilots float safely down to earth by a parachute.
That doesn't apply in this case since the problem is that the stupid Silverlight plugin doesn't work on Linux at all. User agent string or not.
Troll? Who am I trolling?

nice... original? if not, could you link me?
when this was about bring open devices to poor, but not too poor, children. Now it's just a new first-world toy.
You assume too much.

That doesn't seem nearly enough to assume that it was a russian sniper, as opposed to random fire, or a supposedly alied sniper.

Hahaha... that's funny. You know the US isn't afraid to "free" any country that needs "democracy" right?
I would ask for a safe JSON parser as well as I prefer JSON to XML (which is quickly becoming overused)
Can cable companies really force you to use tv?
I'm aware of that. Still does the job

When the computer won't start without file X? Or have you never installed Windows XP?
