Yeah right, like wearing burqas was a way for women to free themselves... On second though, maybe not ! Maybe next step is to allow men to pour acid on unfaithful women because, clearly, they deserve it and by not allowing it we impede men's freedom.
But, wait ! Burqas are not forbidden in France, they're only forbidden in public school (along with kippas or too big christian cross), because, we (you should have guessed I'm French by now;-) ) think that state and religion are to be separated and religion is a private matter.
Yea, but hard-coding IP's is a very very bad thing to do, the better solution is to update your DNS servers to specify "Hey ignore the upstream servers and query spamhaus directly"
And how exactly do you do that without specifying an IP somewhere ? Even if it's their DNS IP instead of their BL DNS IP... You just move the problem to another component (our DNS servers instead of our mail server), but in the end, we're just as vulnerable to a change of IP...

I mean, it's obvious, a lot of developer are jumping on the Web 2.0 bandwagon but obviously they never worked with Web 1.0.
Personally I cannot wait for someone to build a diesel hybrid. Now that ought to get some good MPG!
You mean like the buses in New York City for instance, or the Fex-Ex fleet ? And these are just a few example, checkout this page
As for diesel in a personal car, well, a lot of people work on it, have prototype and even have scheduled to sell them in a couple of years. Just ask google for more...
I think he implies that ice over land contributes to sea level when it melts and some of that ice then goes to the see where it was not before. See the Antartica article on wikipedia for more info, especially the first part where it says that Antartica is 14 million km of which 98% is covered by ice.
I wonder, if, as you say, it's something like light could it be routed through a "fiber-optic"-like material? This way you could have some kind of passive recieving element on one end of this fiber and then run it through the wall or through the ceiling just like cat 5, and on the other end you have another passive trancieving material.
So basically what your suggesting is that in order to have a working wireless connection you need a wire ?
While I agree that user interaction is responsible for many problems, what if your OS picked up & executed executable attachments without user interaction? (see, the OS is important)!
Wrong ! The mail client is important !
Use of a stupid mail client under Linux could doom you just as well as doing so under Windows, provided the virus has enough privileges to cripple the machine and/or is smart enough to escalate to a higher running level (stupid root password for instance).
Still the OS is not the cause of all the problems, it's also the platform (I'm ignoring the User on purpose here). For instance, leave a USB key with a boot virus in a PC runing which ever OS you want, the virus is still able to format the HD. I'm not sure there is the same kind of problems on a Phone...
If you want to play semantics, then it depends what you mean by "games" - openBSD is far more capable of running old dos games under emulation then windows XP...
You too got the usianTHEN.32 virus ?;)

I know, I totally agree with you. And as much as I love free software, this is the kind of childish opinion which I dislike about some people involved in FOSS.
Finally some guys with weight say it aloud. It's a pity it's just happening now. What's more disturbing is that once again FOSS people could not do it by themselves but it had to be a group of corporations. So revealing, so sad.

Not on the Apple store anyway. French Apple store for example let you ship your command to France only. Anyway you don't want to buy it in France where you pay 25,71EUR (10.8%) tax for a 2GB ipod nano or 51,44 (16.1%) for the 4GB. The logic being that since you buy a hardware which can store both legal and illegally copied material, you must pay a fee to the copyright agency. As usual you pay for the illegal activity you may do, even though you still can be prosecuted if caught !
Ok, he managed to make a cheap endoscope. That's good and bad at the same time. Because a endoscope's purpose is to be inserted inside your body, especially inside supposedly sick bodies, it has to be steril so as to avoid contamination (AIDS anyone ?). Using an expensive endoscope (like in developped countries) forbids to use it once and dispose it. So endoscope are cleaned the best one can do without damaging it and re-used. This can lead to contaminations (in fact it's a cause for blood bank to refuse your blood). That's why a cheapper endoscope could be great for developped countries (on-time usage). But on the opposite it's not so great for second/third-world contries because I doubt a webcam is designed to withstand the heat, uv, and/or chemical used to clean the expensive endoscope, nor will it be disposed after use because cheap isn't there. This could be a major health problem. So I'm somewhat skeptical on the path taken by this doctor.

It's not because cars are put on some kinf of track that there's not radar on every car to detect obstacle. The first car which detects the obstacle can even broadcast a warning to cars coming from the rear using the monorail intranet-something messaging. Thus keeping a secure interval and actually enhancing the security nomater how the weather is, i.e. fog or no visibility.
I've discovered this piquepaille affair recently and I'm a bit shocked to see what looks likes a vendetta. Still, the first two links points to the original article and company's site, not his blog. So, what's the big deal ? jealousy ?
Yeah at first it looks appealing, but why are DVDs not released at the same time as the movies hits the big screen ? Isn't it because a lot more people wouldn't bother going to a theater and a lot would have to close their doors ? So, is releasing movies on the net earlier than DVD really neutral for theater, I'm not sure. At least here in France DVDs can't be released before a six month period after the theatrical release because theaters' lobby asked for this protection. I'm sure Intel doesn't care but as a producer I would worry.

Could someone enlighten me, and explain why parent was modded funny ? An informative mod seems more appropriate to me...

They were packaged in box of 5 and sold to Cisco and Nortel. Tests showed that they greatly enhanced the speed of networks around the world.

And this somehow managed to be modded insightful ? Wouldn't funny or maybe troll be more appropriate ??
