How can it be 180 billion light years wide and be 14.3 billion years old?
If it expands at the speed of light shouldn't it be 14.3 billion light years wide? Or 24.6 if they're not measuring from the point at which the big bang occured?
Or is it measuring the (estimated) circumference of the universe?
Yeah, the USA remembered to build jails, mount rushmore and they're busy moving over to the police state so things should be hunky dory.
They only need worry about rampaging barbarians, however if they build the great wall everything should be fine.
Have you watched a Disney dvd recently?
The only way to skip all their massive amounts of advertising is to either rip just the film to a DVDR or have a dvd player that allows you to bypass the PUPS in the datastream.
I once got into an argument with a former ISP admin.
It went along the lines of this:
Him: You can't just download massive amounts of data from bittorrent etc.
Me: Why not? All the ISP's talk about "unlimited" broadband, by that very definition they aren't limiting it.
Him: But they have to pay for that bandwidth.
Me: Yeah? And I pay for them to provide me a service that is unlimited as advertised, if they're complaining now about how people are using more bandwidth than they expected then that's too bad. They advertised it as unlimited (something a LOT of UK ISP's do), and now they're complaining? They've only got themselves to blame.
Long story short, all these ISPs who are whinging only have themselves to blame. They hark on about "SUPER FAST BROADBAND1!!1!! WITH NO LIMITS!!!11!!" and then they discover that people actually use it?
Idiots.
That's partly true, IE 4 included a shell update to 95 and NT 4.
HOWEVER, if memory serves you could choose not to install the updated shell and continue to use ye olde 95/NT4 shell.
In order to keep a sense of unexpectability on slashdot, for which I suspect the Orwell quotes will soon appear. Allow me to present... A Disney quote!.
The problem with that is, in order for the revocation to take effect the user needs to download the root certs update which will be provided by their browser vendor (which in this case will more than likely mean MS) and lets face facts the majority of users never even bother updating, the fickle masses that they are.
A revoked cert isn't the solution, the solution is fixing the process by which people can get SSL certificates in the first place. There need to be more checks and balances. The current process is essentially; give us your money please, ok here's your certificate.. Enjoy!
You're saying ABC has a total of £69 million ($163 million AUD) per year?
How in the hell do they operate?
I just checked their wiki page and it makes no mention of how much funding per year but surely they make some more via commercial stuff too? (like the BBC makes a nice little earner from selling stuff like DVDs etc)
Excuse my ignorance, but what's the general revenue funding method?
And whatever it is, I don't think it's good. I went on holiday last year for three weeks to Australia and television there is wall to wall crap. Adverts every couple of minutes (I kid you not) and programs that'd make Jeremy Beadle cringe.
On the plus side, Sydney is a kicking place so you don't particularly have much want to watch tv.
Yep, ReactOS is aiming for NT 4 (I assume SP6, since they did change the driver architecture from what.. SP3? I think it was specifically to do with video drivers and moving it into kernel space or something..) compatibility.
I believe ReactOS are hoping for the ability to use NT 4 drivers as well, which is a good idea.. but considering that a lot of newer hardware manufacturers are no longer making NT4 drivers might be problematic.
In order to get IE 7 installed, first you'd need to get around the genuine advantage check.. then you'd need to (probably) report the OS as NT 5.1 with SP2 installed to the program. Plus, they'd also need to implement a lot of the NT 5.1 SP2 changes to ReactOS/WINE codebase.
Note: I haven't read much from the ReactOS site recently, so I may be wrong partly.

Ehm, replace 14.3 with 15.8 and 24.6 with 31.6. Always something you screw up when posting.

Hmmm.. a new Apple advertising slogan.
Buy a mac instead, because girlfriends are much more expensive.

I'd prefer they were more like Kryten.
That way at least you'd get a few laughs out of it.
If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Check mate.
I keep clicking but nothing happens, this is deceptive!
It works for Microsoft.
*Ducks*
I call bs on that.
Give us proof.
Name a game other than Halo that Bungie have made in the last 5 years that wasn't Halo.
Face it, Bungie has become a one trick pony.
That's all that their Microsoft bosses are interested in them making.
I think the current post on penny arcade covers it pretty well. (That Infernal Industry)
She has known ever since she found that sticky Seven of Nine poster under your bed.
Fixed that for ya.
Not in the UK dude, I have the Toy Story 1 & 2 collectors edition set.
Only way for me to skip it was to rip the films to DVDRs.

They're obviously aiming for Uranus...
Bam!

Well, you see it's quite simple really. All you need to know on this is...
Hey look! A three headed monkey!

Yes, you could even say it was reborn in a "phoenix" like event...
