    Blacklists are trivial to get around. There's all sorts of things you can do to avoid signature matching. Look up a polymorphic virus, it's the same idea.

    Oh I don't disagree. I'm just saying that the information is still there, and it really is not that much harder to get to.

    Explanation: most programmers are poor UI designers. The cross section between good programmers and good designers is surprisingly small.

    I could have sworn I could load VSTs into Audacity. Maybe I'm just thinking of DXI. Can't say, as I haven't used Audacity in a long time. The WAV editor in my DAW of choice is the nicest I've ever had, and the in-DAW integration is quite handy.

    Unfortunately it's neither Free nor free, but I do consider it worth the cost.

    This might just be appropriate.

    If anything they should have submitted the undoctored original, the modification, and a detailed list of the modifications. This way they still can point out how similar they are, without coloring the tone.

    It's not too hard.

    Instead of "help, about" you say "CTRL-L about:support ENTER"

    If they can normally get to their email, they can do this.

    Technically flexfuel could be used in any gasoline engine. Once or twice. (the ethanol breaks down certain materials that were commonly used for seals etc)

    about:support tells you. Presumably some easier-to-find method will also be available.

    Good point... put the laser or whatnot at home in the 'charging station' - you get your electric vehicle and your easy charge, without just offloading the pollution to the power station. ... instead we get to deal with thorium mining/handling/disposal! yay!

    I thin on Linux you just don't use shift, where you have to use shift under BSD. Not sure. And I agree wholeheartedly about keyboard mangling... so irritating.

    Linux and BSD consoles use it too. Interestingly, it "locks" the scroll, so you can actually read kernel messages (use shift with page up/down to scroll in either direction while locked)

    Being able to go on a highway has nothing to do with it being a car or not. Read the sign the next time you enter a highway, it tells specifically what is allowed or not.

    You cite wikipedia. Go look in a dictionary and find out what "car" means.

    Somewhere you've gone and redefined what a car is, because a golf cart is most definitely one of them (just not approved for use on state/federal roads).

    Here's a tip: you don't have secure communications over the phone, period.

    Unless you have something like a fritz chip (that isn't retarded) it isn't secure.
