I don't know if you knew, but what you just described is Netscape's new Firefox-based browser (from 0.9.3). They're attempting to appeal it to Joe Schmo with the option to switch to the IE-renderring engine, use ActiveX, preset security settings a la IE, etc. Too bad it seems like a flop right now, but it has potential.
If I read it correctly, this is very new/recent, so I completely doubt any videocard manufacturers have had a chance to even read the protocol let alone install it in their cards.
That would be nice, but you must remember that the iPod and other HDD-based media players are just that: based on hard disk drives. The battery life decreases dramatically when something such as a disk must be constantly spun at high speeds during read and write.
In fact, I think it would be more interesting to see these SSD's be used (with high storage capacity) in media players.
Yes, it seemed that they were getting a little over-done; a tad bit dry now. Not like we should care; rarely does anyone share WMA's; it's normally MP3's, OGG's, Flac's, etc.
The standard geek, already afraid of needles, is now further pushed to not donating anything of their already feeble body...
Re: Trillian is nice, but gaim has cross platform

Trillian 3.0 Released

I would definitely have to agree that the Trillian interface is bloated and too focused on visuals. This is how I feel about almost every multi protocol IM client for OSX too. Gaim has a simple enough interface without having to get caught up in the GUI just to talk with some friends.
Also, the thumbdrive comment strikes up something I hate about many Windows proprietary developers: they do not save all the program preferences, data, etc., in your user profile (some keep it in the program folder itself, but that requires admin privileges to use!). Most open-source (and usually cross-platform too) developers know this and keep all this necessary data in the user profile, thus also allowing you to roam with it.
Gotta love MSFT and its ongoing disregard for some sort of standards. Then again, MSFT isn't the only software developer that forgets about the user profile (since they didn't make Trillian...).
Find a section (i.e. *.slashdot.org) that you like the theme to, then replace any article you view with that subdomain. The subdomains are dynamic (e.g. http://billgatesisajew.slashdot.org/), and only the "known" ones have themes; all others get the default green.
I definitly agree that the IT theme is bad, but you can easily change the subdomain for your own tastes. =D
It's because these banks are using ActiveX instead of doing all this stuff server-side. If they want the user to use a program to do it, point them to an actual program, not a laugh-inducing attempt at a web browser.
The Do-Not-Call list covers telemarketing, not this. Companies that need to contact you about a prior business relationship (i.e. overdue item from blockbuster) are allowed to do that, but still aren't allowed to solicit to you. [IANAL]
I use Ad-Watch from 6.0 Pro on my younger sister's computer (also have it do automated scans and she uses Firefox, has been for quite some time now) and I've almost never had to deal with spyware since. I would highly recommend using Ad-Watch along with Firefox.
Give this man a medal; he is 100% correct. I usually don't mind seeing a commerical once in my life (generally applies to commercials about things I fucking care about), but I have seen on many occassions the shittiest quality commercials possible, and they would be repeated multiple times in one commercial break. After seeing an ad for Girls Gone Wild: I Hate You, Dad! edition for the umpteenth time while watching Comedy Central, I don't think that will influence me, a 16-year-old computer, videogame, and electrical stuff nerd to buy the softest of softcore porn when I can get much better things for free (welcome to t3h intarw3b).
Besides, the only people who are generally positively affected by commercials are the dumbasses, so why don't they just have commercials during things like reality shows or the news? Networks and advertisers wouldn't even notice a difference in profit by doing that.
I rarely watch TV now as ads plague it more than they do Gamespot or IGN. At least I have Adblock for those; I don't have the money or time to build my own PVR and use those fun OSS programs that filter commercials and such for me.
That line has been gone for ages in Firefox. I think it's still in the Mozilla Suite, but now it seems that it's pointless to continue development on that. Instead, they should finish Thunderbird, then combine the 2 and start a new Mozilla Suite based on that.
Apache 1.3.32 to be exact, and it was only one potentially problematic bug. They've already released.33 which fixes the problem. Don't try to troll as you phail at it.
Try the link in Win2k IE (latest updates all included to make sure) and tell us what it means for Win2k users. I would assume pre-SP2 means EVERYTHING pre-SP2, including pre-XP OS's.

I doubt they would ever release the source to Source, but they do have some fun SDK's available for your, uhm, desires.
This man must be using his PS2 as a server...

So goes the saying "the best way to a man's heart is through his wallet". Excuse the weirdness.

Actually, it's going to be "uninstall/disable windows".
Or throw computer out window and procede to torch it with your handy-dandy flamethrower.
Let me make an edit:
This is not something that conservative Americans want to promote, because they feel that society is based upon families and monogamy.
The idea of conservatism is based mainly on tradition. Tradition roots from the Bible on many occassions in America, so there ya go.

As long as they don't overprice them like Toshiba does (tablet notebooks), they'll dominate. I so want one for when I go to college.

Sadly, the FTC has already said that you can't put friends/family/etc on the DNC List, only your own phone numbers.

Q: Can I register all my family and friends?
A: No. You should register only your own telephone numbers.

A section that would have made it illegal to edit out commercials was removed.
All that complaining and speculating for nothing. You may now return to your regularly broadcasted commercial-free PVR's now.
