There is a big difference between working in groups where everyone helps each other out, and working in groups where once one person figures it out, everyone just copies and moves on to the next problem.
The first one, where everyone still does the problem and understands where the solution came from, is ok. Even if you ask a friend who has already done the problem for *direction*, that's ok.
But, when an answer is posted, and everyone just copies said answer and does not understand where it came from, then that's cheating, and it must be handled properly. This is no better or worse than telling each other the answer on a curbside or in a dorm room, but the large scale of those affected online is why this could be a much larger problem. (although obvious copying should always be handled even if it's just two people.)
Sometimes there is a fine line between the two, and the schools till typically overreact poorly if they think case one is case two. If this guys was posting answers, and there is no way for the class instructor or TA's to moderate said solutions, then he needs to be taken down.
Never underestimate the ability of people to not care and not do anything about it. Does not apply to people that use Apple products. Those whiny bastards will demand their service is fixed or sick Jobs on the router responsible.
How about the BIOlympics? A seperate set of contests that could allow people to use all the little cheating devices, steroids, spring loaded shoes, prosthetics, bust-enhancing bras for figure skating, ect. My father suggested that once probably 2 Olympics ago. Then we realized that no one would bother watching the original Olympics, and all we would be left with is a freak show. And I'd rather not have that.
But it's not unfair because any batter can use one.
Actually, if you would read the link above, no they can't. Bonds' device was grandfathered in, and no new player can get one without a legitimate medical reason. The link describes how his enhanced elbow device has grown and advanced over the years up to 2001.
I can not understand why massive optical writable storage has not been introduced at reasonable prices. Some solutions are born almost outdated: 25GB for a single sided Blu-Ray disk it is far from meeting mid term so-ho necessities. In my opinion, it is a necessity to push for a 100GB multilayer writable optical media, to cover the next 4-year home and small business backup and data distribution necessities.
This is important when you are trying to turn off a room full of equipment during a power failure.
The power failed - if your backup generator or battery system isn't properly maintained, you won't have to worry about shutting off a room full of equipment. Personally, since I run nothing critical on my machines, let the power fail. There are no settings to restore when they're all network-booted anyways.
Uh, I'm pretty sure he's referring to the massive power spike that comes when the power is restored, and all those devices you left in the "on" state try to come up at the same time. You should really turn anything sensitive to power spikes off when the power goes out and only turn them on after normal power is restored. This is the same reason most raid controllers power up hard drives one or two at a time, instead of all of them at once.
Most cable companies have subsidized 'lifeline' cable where you can get just broadcast channels and a few basic cable stations for under $20 a month. And some even offer free service for the truly economically challenged as a community service.
Well that's nice, but I know a lot of rural areas that still don't have access to any cable at all. And depending on what side of the hill they are on, some don't even have a "clear view of the southern sky" either. Basically, over the air TV is the only option. (My parents can't get cable or DSL, but at least they can get satellite. Some neighbors can't.)

It is better than nothing, but it is not a proper calendar either. BTW, is there any way to get rid of it temporarily if I don't want to use it? It takes up so much space that could have better use sometimes.
Anyway, if you need a real calendar, you have to go for a more powerful solution, such as Gmail, KMail, Evolution or Outlook. Note that the later two programs suck quite a lot. From an article not too long ago, you can use Google Calendar in Lightning or Sunbird nightlies.
You can tie one outgoing server to each incoming mail account, and freely switch which identity (and therefore outgoing server) from a drop down menu above the addressing. Now, if you want multiple outgoing servers for a single incoming account, then you have a problem.
In my experience, choosing the identity in the composition window still results in email always being sent through the same SMTP server.
Perhaps it is a bug and not intentional, but its damn inconvenient. You have to set which outgoing server matches which identity in the incoming account setup page, instead of using the default server. Or you can set them all to the default server and use the smtp server extension as mentioned a little bit below.
... The built in search function is still pretty useless. I'll agree with this. I would be better to be able to search through headers, and also have some way of using the received time instead of the sent time to order the messages.
... The old indexing bugs haven't been addressed at all. After leaving TB running for a while, various inboxes highlight in blue to show new mail, but there isn't any. Sometimes a mailbox shows unread messages, but searching around doesn't turn up any. New messages sorted by procmail on the server aren't indexed properly if not seen first in an inbox. The only time I have had new mails where there were not any is when I load TB on a different computer and there are already read "new to this instance of TB" messages. I never have had TB tell me there is new mail after startup when this is none. However, I have a spam folder that procmail moves my junk mail to. If I don't look at the folder at all, I will not see the unread count increase throughout the day, but once I check the folder, I'll get the unread count updated regularly.
The anti-phishing feature has always highlighted quite a few auto-generated emails and some client monthly mailings as suspect. I wish they would integrate some kind of baysian or learning or white-list features on that. Fair enough request.
... One of my biggest problems, is the inability to choose which outgoing SMTP service at the time of sending a message. Once again, Eudora got this right. Since I work in many locations, the ability to quickly change the outgoing SMTP setting without having to go to every account setting and changing it manually would be expected of a real email application. You can tie one outgoing server to each incoming mail account, and freely switch which identity (and therefore outgoing server) from a drop down menu above the addressing. Now, if you want multiple outgoing servers for a single incoming account, then you have a problem.
The UI hasn't really improved at all over the 1.5 version. Sure, they've now hidden several spam controls in new places, and made a few other cosmetic improvements, but TB is still mostly unusable by ordinary users. There is still no way to make some commonly used functions into buttons on the main interface. That is the most asked for feature when I show people TB, how do they do their most common command with just a single button click.
Version 1.5 was really the first usable release, it should have been called 1.0. This is a minor bug fix release, count it as version 1.1, but there is NO major overhaul of either the functionality or usability.
the AC I don't know what you consider normal usage, but I'd say you're part of the normal/. crowd, which does not count as ordinary users. TB suits my needs just fine and has since 1.0 and even before. Just because it doesn't do everything you want it to doesn't make it unusable for everyone else.
In line with the status bar comment above, how about an icon that appears in the status bar (kinda like when they first did RSS) that you can click to get the popup asking for remember/never passwords on that site. Maybe have the first 3 or 5 times this icon appears, an XP like balloon can appear explaining to users how the icon works. After that, the icon appears with no balloon (or does not appear if set to never remember for this site).
If this makes you happy, then by all means suggest it. I currently just uncheck the remember passwords and don't use that feature, but this would work for me just as well.

Windows service packs have never helped broken systems. They have only made them worse. See exhibits SP1 and SP2.
If you suspect the SP won't take, just go straight to slipstream, wipe, and reinstall.

So, if I install it, can I uninstall it without the use of system restore?
Use the above suggestion or try NoScript In the options, there is an option to block flash and other plugins as well.
