I agree with you that the source is biased, but that doesn't invalidate the data. As C.S. Lewis once said, "You must show that a man is wrong before you start explaining why he is wrong".

If you check the website for magic password generator, you'll find a bookmarklet and a form that are browser- and os-agnostic, that comes up with the same passwords the plugin does.
Is anyone else annoyed that every power supply review written in the last ~5 years has started with some variation on "The power supply is perhaps the most overlooked element of a modern PC, and yet it's the one component that can irreparably damage the rest of a system"?
Now if only they could apply the same methodology to the user's level of knowledge. Doing a quick questionnaire strikes me as considerably easier and faster than having to enable advanced options, enable the display of file extensions and hidden files, etc etc on a new computer.
I suggest that you tell your executives clearly and succinctly what will happen to his bonus if (when) a serious breach occurs. The invisible hand tends to bitch-slap companies that put profits over customer safety.
First gaming experience was Castles on my dad's 286 work laptop. Never understood quite why the red pixels hated me so much, but it sure was fun filling 'em full of arrows.
There's an excellent novel by N. Lee Wood called Faraday's Orphans set in the apocalyptic aftermath of just such a reversal. Probably inaccurate, but interesting.
I remember using Rockbox on my very first MP3 player- a 10GB Archos Jukebox. Man, if people got over the funny lookin thing (see http://www.globay.com/bilder/hardware/big/archos_6 000.jpg) they were even more confused when they saw you playing Snake on it.

Nobel peace prize winners helping african orphans, how much better can it get?
Seems to me that they're leaving money on the table if they can't meet demand. I'm no economist, but if you get people all worked up over a launch, then string them along for a few days, wouldn't that make the frothy lather you've whipped them into fall a bit flat?
eMusic does NOT require you to download their "music manager" (At least it didn't 2 weeks ago), though it is necessary if you want to download an album at a time instead of track by track.
Another thing the reviewer didn't mention is that members get one free track every day for downloading their IE toolbar, and that it's the only service of the bunch that has no DRM whatsoever.
As you might imagine, I'm a satisfied customer.
I don't see the point. The US already has the capability to explode and/or irradiate every square inch of the planet. The only differences with space weapons would be:
-They could do it in 5 minutes instead of 10
-They could still do it someone magicly knocked out all their silos, subs and B-2s out of comission and
-Sattelites are infinitely more difficult to secure given the non-physical nature of the firing sequence, compared to current double-key etc. systems.
Oh, and space weapons would piss off the other 200 countries out there, cost a fortune, and fall from the sky more or less at random like any other sattelite.
Even if gay people aren't allowed to marry, that doesn't mean there will be fewer of them, just that they won't have the basic rights granted to all other couples. If homosexuality has survived 2000 years of criminalization, withholding the right to marriage for another few years/decades won't have any effect.
Also, homosexuality _is_ the end product of many millions of years of evolution. If it seems like there's no reason for it to exist, you need to reconsider your basic assumptions either about homosexuality or about usefulness.

Google's Open-Source Chromium project announced a new compression technique called Courgette geared towards distributing really small updates today.
That's a pretty small market- I can't imagine that there are many teams that will release really small updates today.

Enough! I get it!

i think you mean 1000 MIPS = 1 gyp

I was referring to myself, not to Dr. Lomborg :)
For an interesting perspective, I highly suggest that everyone read Dr. Lomborg's presentation to the US Senate. (PDF)
I wouldn't worry too much: Counterstrike, Starcraft and Quake teams have been raking in sponsorship money for years.
The Canadian government is taking a more libertarian approach than the Americans? Colour me surprised.

A vortex in the sea on 6/6/06? This should be interesting.

Good to hear that someone's looking out for the little guy.

I think this, summary needs some, more commas. I'm no grammar nazi, but this is, absurd.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Even if gay people aren't allowed to marry, that doesn't mean there will be fewer of them, just that they won't have the basic rights granted to all other couples. If homosexuality has survived 2000 years of criminalization, withholding the right to marriage for another few years/decades won't have any effect.
