that's what i was figuring too. it's basically Department K's fault for not counting the "fairly skilled" hackers before they get enough practice to become "very skilled", and now they're bragging about it
one minute on google and here's one such report. i'd be interested in reading a study that supports the counter argument. i've never even heard of one, it's always just taken for granted.
you could use this for things like....umm...pr0n? actually some "friends of mine" mentioned some plugins that already allow image zooming and scrolling, but i wouldn't know first hand...
Could someone give some examples of bookmarks you would want to be private?
* intranet links * development websites * your bank's website (esp. if they can see this bookmark in combination with others that might be used to build an identity trail) * goatse
but i can't imagine posting bookmarks to a third-party website unless i was generally ok if for some reason they became public (accidental or otherwise), so maybe i'm agreeing with you.

your parents are in on it too. everytime they tell you to turn your music down, they're trying to make sure that you don't lose the fine-tuned ability to tell the difference between crappy encodings and good ones. fortunately, i figured this out early enough to blast my way to apathy
i think it's just the opposite. the Napster model is best for young people that:
A. don't have a collection of music built up on CD already
B. are destined to skip from one new band to the next many times in even a single year (meaning that owning a copy is worthless to them)
older people are, for the most part, already largely invested in the music they like and are much less likely to change tastes.
there's two points that he made that are useful here :
they're not rate limiting VOIP traffic in particular. he should have said that all internet traffic is 11 and that all internet traffic would be limited to 10, so that it'd be clear that there is no discrimination. VOIP is one of the more latency sensitive applications, so it will suffer first and most if all non-preferred traffic is limited
they don't have to reduce anything to throttle, they can do it via inaction. ever increasing subscription to VOIP (and internet services in general) means that they only have to freeze bandwidth to effectively throttle future traffic
libel means that you print something that is untrue *while knowing that it untrue*. printing something and then eventually being wrong isn't libel.
the sticky situation here is that they apparently still have this article on their website uncorrected. so by having it posted today when they should know that it is untrue, is that libel? on the one hand, i've always hated the practice of page 1 stories getting page 36 retractions. on the other, how could they possibly manage the burden of keeping all their articles in their archives up to date.
"So convenience won out and people settled for lower quality. The first time I've ever seen that in my life."
it's funny that he should say that given that the Apple argument has always been that their "higher quality computer" is only losing the PC arms race because of interoperability/price issues (both could be seen as convenience)
"But that's not going to be the case with video. No one is going to go back to VHS quality just because they can download it faster over the Internet. It ain't going to happen."
i'll have to remember that the next time that i'm watching clips of The Daily Show on a jumpy/grainy RealPlayer feed because it's more convenient than catching it at its scheduled time. also, isn't it fairly standard that DVD pirates apply lossy compression to fit movies onto single layer DVDs?
couldn't we be more willing to settle for lower quality audio than video due to the fact that our threshhold for detailed vision is lightyears ahead of current technology, while our threshhold for detailed audio is quite often outdone by current tech? i've been fooled by ringing phones and sirens in TV commercials, but i've never been close to believing that something that i saw on the screen was actually happening in the same room. once you've reached that level of realism, you can sacrifice further gains for convenience without a thought.
"How in the fucks sake does a country remove itself from EU?"
there's lots of ways!
1. throw all the EUs clothes out the door and change the locks
2. get a restraining order preventing them from coming within 200' of you
3. sleep with their best friend and tell everybody about it
4. release a kinky EU sex video onto the internet

oh well, then they should try to make the best of their invalid data. their right to valid data can't trump their subjects' right to privacy, period.
exactly. they'll have more robust features because they have another year or two to steal more ideas between now and the release of Longhorn

i question the objectivity of any review of an OS that minimizes the fact that the reviewer's keyboard doesn't work
Slashdot posters are essentially a distributed spellchecker, so they came to the right place

to be fair, it's easier for them to do things quietly since they're not in as much spotlight as iTunes.

so the person with the "free XBox" sig chimes in to say "of course THOSE sites are a scam, but sites like the one in my sig aren't!"
and you wonder why so many Americans want to go to war with you...
so you're saying this won't be the centerpiece of a regular feature on the Letterman show?
it seems like they would have lost a copyright case as well, this doesn't exactly sound like a clean room implementation
