As long as you were USEing -ipv6 when you installed kde that shouldn't be causing it. Maybe you have an old non-working dns in your/etc/resolv.conf? Check it, maybe comment out the first nameserver (assuming there's more than one) and see if that makes a difference.
The purpose of the ad as a whole is probably to convince you of the merit of the product by making you think (consciously or not) you'll get women by using it, rather than to arouse you and thereby make you buy it, in which case it's not porn. But nudity is not necessary to make something porn, and a show that simply had women in skimpy bikinis for the sake of arousal would be pornographic.
Yep. But all that matters is the intent when it's produced. A school play video that a paedophile gets off on is not porn. One of those victorian magazines with less nudity than a typical hour of TV but was intended as erotic is porn.
Consumers and MS and AOL. The latter for claiming that using a computer and going on the internet is easy. Imagine Toyota saying they make driving easy, just get in a car and go. It doesn't matter if consumers can't maintain their PCs themselves, but they should realise it's something that requires regular maintainance, and hire people to do it if they can't. They wouldn't expect their cars to run forever with no services, but thanks to the way computers have been marketed, they believe that computers can.
It's much faster, renders fine IME (the acid test looks horrible though), but javascript really slows it down. Still I far prefer konqueror to firefox.
The reason is that gamers don't get respect in America like they do in SK. When was the last time you heard of a professional gamer in the US? Yet there are plenty in south korea. Being a good gamer who plays every day is seen as a good thing, not nerdishness like here. And it's gamers that drive broadband adoption.
This is just the latest in a string of problems that seem to be caused by Linus. He's not scaleable, and we have no access to his source to fix his bugs. I think it's time we replaced him with an open solution
That lists about 20. And those aren't the original releases. If they're keeping selling copies that's fine, keep taking down pirates, but any game that's not available should be public domain already.
No, they shouldn't be prevented from doing it, but other companies should be allowed to try it too. As others have said if there isn't demand it doesn't matter, if there is demand and disney isn't publishing them others should be able to. They've made enough money from those films, they've had the cinema run and the video run and the TV run, they belong in the public domain now. You shouldn't be able to create something and then just keep reissuing it every so often to make a profit, that doesn't encourage innovation.
Not if it only makes sense from that place. A function should be able to be called with correct arguments from anywhere and work and return something sensible. If the block, and it can really be as short as that example, only makes sense in the place it is, it doesn't make sense to take it out as a function. IMO of course.
Yeah. Because it's impossible to, you know, have some officers tracking down murderers and rapists, and some others bagging copyright infringers at 100x the hourly criminal-catching rate. (Seriously, how many murderers and rapists do you think there are compared to numbers of these "pirates"? And although one pirate is obviously much better than a murderer, you can get more harm overall stopped per police-hour by having them catch pirates (easy) than murders (very very hard, since other police have caught all the easy-, medium-, hard- and very-hard-to-catch ones)
They should need to be kept in print at or below inflation-adjusted original price. There should also be a minimum printrun per year, low but nonzero, so they have to be actually producing the product which encourages them to sell at a reasonable price. But even allowing what you suggest would be a vast improvement over the current system.
No, but the little girl should lose the copyright on her diary if she doesn't publish it. That won't matter to her, since you can't copy it without having an actual copy even if it's in the public domain. And the 1000-edition author should lose his copyright fairly quickly (i'd say five contignous years without a print run of at least 1000 total seems fair).
They should lose the rights if it's not available to buy. Copyright encourages people to produce things because they're guaranteed royalties on them. That's the idea, that's the entire purpose of copyright. If the copyrighted thing is "out of print", copyright isn't encouraging things to be produced. Copyright should lapse if the product is not available at a reasonable price for 5 years or so.
You've fallen for the "intelletcual property is property" argument. No it's not. There is no entitlement to copyright on your work. The US grants you copyright, a government monopoly, but only for a limited time, and can take it back any time it wants. The federal government is only permitted to impose copyrights "to promote the progress of science and the useful arts". No protection of the individual there. If copyrights aren't doing that, they're unconstitutional.
That's already an option in mozilla. One problem is it breaks MSN passport - any site which uses it needs to be able to use a cookie from the passport domain rather than their domain. There's probably other cross-site logins like that it causes problems with. And while you or I may not like passport, there are many many people who use it.
In many countries the law is that you're allowed to do that, but there's nothing stopping them trying to stop you. So you can hack their DVDs and they can do whatever they want to encrypt them or whatever. If they're going to sell you non-working dvds that's probably illegal under consumer protection laws though.
KDE is the platform. It includes libraries for everything - multithreading, network i/o, config storage, audio playback, etc. You can write a kde application without needing a single bit of os-specific code - just recompile it and it runs fine. The way to write a program like this is to avoid reading the docs for the OS, just use the kde ones. There isn't a proper windows version but come kde 4 there should be, at which point it can really take off, at least I hope.
The bug never (well almost never) occurs when you're writing it at first, it's when you go back and check the lines for missing semicolons. Ooh, that looks like a function call I forgot the semicolon after, easy to fix that, put a semicolon on the end. Then you have a bug that you only see at run-time after you've got rid of all the other compile bugs, by which time you've forgotten all about that semicolon and there are hundreds of other things it could be. Having a brace there stops you adding an incorrect semicolon, because it's clearly a loop header rather than a function call or something else. (Yes I know it's obviously not a function call, but when you're scanning the ends of the lines quickly it can look like one)
A certain amount of whitespace is good, but unnecessary whitespace can be a problem. Bugs/LOC has a sharp increase where a class or function becomes too big to fit on one screen, so keeping it small is an advantage as long as it doesn't mean sacrificing readability. I find I ignore the braces and look to the indents for where functions and loops end, so this asymmetry doesn't bother me as much as the "losing" the conditional when you have the brace separate. It (to me) makes the conditional look disconnected from the block, meaning I'm less likely to see a for loop's decrementing rather than incrementing, or something like that.
Blocks without conditionals are good practice for scoping temp variables. Something like
{
int temp;
temp=foo();
bar(temp);
baz(temp);
}
is better than having temp cluttering up your namespace for the rest of the function.

Did you compile with ipv6 support? If so it will try to use ipv6 for domain lookups and have to wait until that times out before going to the page.

Porn has a very clear definition - material where the primary purpose is erotic i.e. arousing the viewer.

No, I meant kde. But yes, Qt does include most or all of that and KDE is built upon it.

Just grab a key from a hardware player. It's harder than getting one from a software player, yes, but it's doable.

So you can hack their DVDs and they can do whatever they want to encrypt them or whatever. If they're going to sell you non-working dvds that's probably illegal under consumer protection laws though.
