We could test it on say the Bible, first runs might be worth a bit of money perhaps.
I bought this "Bible" you talk about. It was supposed to be a special version as it was called Gutenberg. Then I noticed that some asshole called Luther has scribbeld a lot of things in it, so I threw it away as it was clearly worthless now.
This is just another IT mistake not an act of whistleblowing
This 'mistake' could have been on purpose. Also Wikileaks is not the ones who leak it. The crawler is even worse then Wikileaks. Wikileaks itself does not actively look for content. It is handed over to them.
Psyhic Pizza will know when you are high and hand over that information happily to anybody paying for it, including police, your employer and your insurance company.
I have friends whose speed is 10 times what I have. They all laugh about my speed when we compare and then I tell them that I have this all the time 24/7 and no need to buy extra bandwith because I exceeded some random number in down/up load. Also I have no ports blocked, fixed IP and no P2P throttling. Things they don't have. Price is about the same.
Yet even though they complain all the time about the data limit, none wants to change. They happily buy extra, even though the company advertises that there is no limit. The limit is decided by 1.5 times the average usage of users. And nobody knows what that will be at any moment. Fun. (Oh, it is per area, so if you live in an area with lots of students, you can download more then if all are retired people.)
In hindsight AdBlock solves these kind of things. However I am sure that most people who use AdBlock just do not want to see ads. Not even the standard 1 banner we used to have.
People do not like ads, even though they understand why they are there.
When the ads come up on TV, I do not go "Oh, I will watch them, so I do not need to pay more for TV", I go channel hopping. I have subscribed to robinsonist.be so people will not send me snail-mail advertisement. I have a sticker that clearly states that I do not want folders in my mailbox. I use AdBlock and a hosts file to not see ads online.
So even if there would be only text ads served by the domain I went to itself, I would still try to get rid of ads.
The program saved 1.000 lives it says, but is that the whole program or just the part where the dolls are used? So if they would have not used the dolls, would there be 1000 more deaths?
I am sure that it will be good to use a doll, just like one learns mouth on mouth with a doll. I am also sure that before the dolls were used, some training was given and people were saved as well.
So what is the REAL number and if it is indeed that high, why is it not used anywhere else?
The cat might be out of the bag, but all the news I see is basically about how things are leaked and somebody involved is accused of rape.
Not much about what was leaked. And the things that DO come out are not really interesting. Confirmation of things already known at most.
News is sold to what people are interested in and apparently the general public is more interested in the rape and the stories around it then the stories them selves.
It is pretty sad that we think we depend on companies so much. So instead of saying _I_ do not stand for it and will do anything that I can, we are now at the stage of _Some company_ will not agree with what I want and do the work for me.
And people wonder why companies have so much power.
rest assured that all these companies would lobby Parliment to change the laws so that this decision ends up just how they like it. e.g. companies have free speech and can link. Individuals MUST work hard, increase production, prevent accidents and be happy.
Even worse is if the roaming company is the same company you are already have a subscription. They are the same frickin' company, yet you still pay roaming fees up till your wazoo.
You could have the ability to be case insensitive software. Unless E5-FU7-Z009A001 and e5-fu7-z009a001 are different part numbers why should it matter how you enter it? Software should make your life easier. Not you making it easier for the software(-programmer).
Personally, I cannot dispense with a single key for me or my clients. If I'm on a support call the last thing I want to hear is "I don't have a delete key"
I would hate to be your customer as I apparently not have the same keyboard as you do. No numeric keypad and not some other keys. Yes, sometimes I see programs that want you to use the numeric keys and no way to change it. I also do not have the double/, so I hope your programs do not use them differently.
Trust me, every key is needed with the possible exception of caps and num lock.
I use the HappyHacker keyboard and that has a LOT keys less. http://houghi.org/shots/hh.jpg So how come I am able to do the same things that other people are able to do with more keys? (Yes, even the KVM stuff)
I am not torn at all. The feds having access to everybodies data means that everybody is guilty until proven innocent. You see child porn? You notify the feds. They should get a court order for that specific part of the site that is relevant, not for everything.
The fact that it is a (legal) pornsite or/. is irrelevant. What if I post child porn on this site or a link to child porn? Would you be happy that the feds get root access and are able to see your login AND password?
Amazon is not interested in correct reviews. They are interested in people on their site and in the end people buying stuff. As long as investing time and money to let this go away NOT result in more money coming in, why would they change it?
Remember that they deal with huge number of people, not only/. readers. Soccermom finds it perhaps funny as it was forwarded from a cow orker and then sees this nice add and buys something else.

Do you agree with this type of logic? If so, by blindly following orders you become as guilty as those who give them.
That sounds a lot like preparation for "Wir haben es nicht gewusst.". Scary.
In Belgium that would mean exactly that
Worse, it is the same people that vote.
That is why I use (the depricated) http://siege.org/phpmyid.php
Not sure what I am going to use as a replacement.

And here we are talking about only video games. What about "Chess, the movie" and "Chess II, return of the King."

So speed is not the only factor.
The media has been programming humans for ages now.

So not only is the camera not genuine, it also is not a genuine story.
Its intention is to erase the economic borders, not the social ones. The social ones will be erased by MacDonalds, Carrefour, Benneton and the like.
And 82% of statistics is made up.
The roaming charges are so high, because they can get away with it. Hopefully that will change now.
The reason people turn off their phone during the two weeks in Spain or Greece is because it IS so expensive.
Even worse is if the roaming company is the same company you are already have a subscription. They are the same frickin' company, yet you still pay roaming fees up till your wazoo.

I could also program using the following keyboard and say that YOU do not have enough keys:

Some people would say that touching up and undressing underage kids in public is some sort of porn.

So absolutely not torn at all.
