Resolution in the analog world of photography has always been an issue especially for professional photographers. The speed of the film effects the grain size and we could easily equate the grain size (In the analog world) to the resolution (In the digital world). If you take a pic on high speed 35mm film and enlarge it enough, you'll end up with a grainy print - If you take a 640 x 480 digital image and enlarge it enough, you'll end up with a jaggie print.
It has been for far too long that unscrupulous people have been able to manipulate certain mechanisms on the net to advance their particular wants (For want of a better word). So it is my humble opinion that any moves (No matter how they are motivated) to generally protect on-line users, is a good thing. I have no doubt that there are many arguments for and against, but in general, I'm sure it's a good thing.

I'm pretty sure that the auction of a Death Star replica on Ebay matters to a number of people, many of whom are also possibly Nerds, but doesn't this kinda undermine the credibility of/. in some way?

The audio delay should be user configurable. We could turn boring stuff into something that's really funny. Almost as good as playing the old VHS backwards!
Is this just a case of paranoia reigning supreme? From what I understand of this problem (And it is very possible that I don't know all the details) it only poses a risk under a very specific set of circumstances and that this set of circumstances is very common. Are we becoming ParaNET?
It is unfortunately true that in many corporate environments, support for various software is an essential requirement. I know how frustrating this can be as I deal with "suits" making IT decisions every day of my life. For many of them, the fact that the software is fantastic AND free just isn't good enough. I suppose their insecurities lie in the fact that many of the "decision making suits" that hold the purse-strings of IT have a bean-counting background and actually shouldn't be making IT decisions at all.

It sure beats the hell outta my abacus but my abacus has really low power consumption.
Sorry... Typo. I meant Windows applications and my question still stands.

Firstly, I'm not from the USA so I doubt that my mentality can be classed as typically Yankee.
Secondly, you are quite right. If my email was blocked I'd be damn unhappy... Unhappy with my Spam hosting ISP.

My PC has so many mods (All of which draw power) that when I turn the thing on the lights dim.

That is what is so scary about the Bush administration...
The scariest thing about Bush administration is actually George Bush himself.

You just need to insert "is not" between them.
Which way is up?
