EMI ran a test with DRM free tracks last year and found users preferred DRM free 10 to 1...... sounds like a commercial but I read that in an article the other day...
No it's not... the "witness" is anonymous and nowhere to be found. They got an anonymous tip that a guy has porn on his computer, and the anonymous person said that he found it by breaking into the computer intentionally looking for something bad... all they have to do was say it was planted.
My point is, he's a kid in a basement. When he has more than himself as the only employee, and a company with some direction instead of just a website, then I think he could garter himself with the CEO title.
I'm not trying to put the guy down, he has a nice site and he's obviously going to go somewhere in life, even if it's not with zooomr.
... it has a name that people can easily refer to and brand as a technology. I'd seen/used AJAX implementations before, but now I have something to put on my resume. Simple as that.
I can't really tell the tone of your post... sarcasm or otherwise... I can't even tell if you're trying to insult me with the "arrogant know it all" thing... I'll assume it's a general statement.
However, I do give you funny points for calling people arrogant know-it-alls after playing "six degrees of seperation" to make this post relevant.:)
Uh, wouldn't it be the same people trying to ban joe the camel are the same people trying to stop things like this, and not the exact opposite?
For example, although I don't smoke I see no problem with cigarette ads. I see no problem with people smoking openly in public. In a building I can understand a restriction because the smoke doesn't leave, it stays there and becomes a problem. Eyes burn, and I'm even alergic to cigarette smoke. It's unfortunate but it's not the reason for my wanting to get rid of it indoors.
As for the computer generated child porn, how are you going to "prove" the age of a virtual actor? Once they can blur that line, they're free to interpret it as they wish.
It's not about perversions, IMO... this is a rights issue. Real child pornography images has real mental (and physical) harm behind it, and that's reason enough for it to be illegal IMO.

You cant have it two ways... either the government takes control of it or they don't.
I vote they don't.
...and this whole time I was losing sleep on whether linus would be pleased.

Slow news day?

Riiight... and warrants are for what?

Aren't I paying a subscription so I *don't* have to look at ads? Perhaps I'm missing something in this "article"...
... kind of reads like a test sentence for a font.
..
"Exploding Robots May Scout Hazardous Asteroids"
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
Come on... terminology comes and goes... AOL had keywords, web 2.0 has tags.
That was kind of the point... lol
Isn't this just a geeky way of saying "small anatomy" ?
If that's the case, I invented this 26 years ago!
Paranoia and the DMCA.
And water?
Yes, I'm aware. It was a joke... lighten up a bit. :)
Or you can just subscribe to slashdot.
It's quite nice, actually.
26? The article says 40...
Oh wait... they use the metric system in Russia, right?
I don't mean to post off-topic and what not, but I couldn't help but notice your javascript mouseover menu on your (I think that's a) website.
Do you really have relevancy to speak on this subject?
I should probably get rid of my laser disk player?
"Laurels are pointy a mean, sacks of case are soft and comforting. I know which id rather have."
I got this one...
Laurels are pointy and mean, and sacks of cash are soft and comforting. He knows which, between the two, he would rather have.
To boldy go where no geek has gone before.

CenterNetworks reported this very early this morning...
Entrepreneur.com's traffic dropped by 5 million when they stopped their popunder campaign. Pretty sad...
