Not silly to do it... because the inexperienced swimmers can now do their "lengths" in shallow water and the experienced swimmers can do theirs in deep water.
Given the dimensions of this particular pool... Silly to get your knickers in a twist over it and post it to all the "humorous news stories" web site out there? Most definitely.
The way adblock detects ads is very easy to bypass - just stop serving ads from a separate advert server or from folders with the word "advert" in the name.
The only to block adverts then would be to surf without any images at all.
How about the web pages where I *want* sound? Do I have to go to the volume control manager to restore the sound level every time I want to watch something on youtube?
If this thing happens, the very first plugin I want for firefox is one which disables web page sound by default.
I heard some music at a volume level which is way louder than everything else on my machine and no way to adjust it. I'm wearing headphones so the page was closed after five seconds.
The question is... do those "starting bands" have more money after the RIAA has finished with them? The answer is usually no - look how many number one bands have declared bankruptcy or just plain given up after a while once they figure out how screwed they are.
It will stick around in case your change your mind...
PS: They don't have much choice. Part of their strategy to get IE onto all machines was to put all fancy new user interface controls into the IE DLLs. There was a time when you had to distribute IE along with your own application if you wanted it to run, even though there was no web browsing functions in it (assuming you used those controls, obviously...)
OTOH I'm very worried about this statement in his "why I recommend using the Encrypt-then-MAC composition" page: "Of these three, only Encrypt-then-MAC is provably secure, in the sense of guaranteeing INT-CTXT (integrity of ciphertexts -- it's unfeasible for an attacker to construct a valid ciphertext.."
He seems to be contradicting himself there - in CTR mode you can easily flip bits of the cyphertext then make a new MAC.
Yeah, because there's NO WAY a jammer could be smart enough to let a 911 call though. Such godlike technology would need another thousand years of advancement in cell technology and orders of magnitude more computing power than is currently available.
Jammers can have off switches too. I assume it might be used during lunch hour when people are fighting, climbing stairs and getting food poisioning.
If classrooms are being engulfed by flames or the roof tiles are coming off because of a huge twister I assume some alert member of staff could turn off the jammer even if it is officially "study" time. There could be various disable switches around the place and things called "keys" to activate them.
When did common sense stop being a requirement for posting on slashdot?

Sure, let's all start hammering square pegs into round holes.
Programmers have way too much free time on their hands, the extra workload will be a welcome relief to them.
A weakness was found in first generation drives, the second generation drives fixed it.
Film at 11.

it's about using a tool which is suited to the job. Using Javascript to do 3D graphics is like trying to saw wood with a pair of knitting needles.
VRML is alive and well ... and living in a group called "Kronos". It's every bit as awesome as it ever was.

That one's long overdue...
Ok... this alone would make the feature worthwhile (eg. Firefox plugin to play "unknown" sites at very low volume by default)

This is the future? Count me out.
You could just list them in the summary - in less space than it takes to explain the "hover" trick
Um, the article is discussing multiple virtual machines with identical disk images so "hardware support" is moot.
Yep, even 1dB or so louder will make most people say that a system sounds 'better' in an A/B test, even if the two systems are identical.
This why studios insist that all music goes through the compressor these days - loudness is king to the casual listener.
Um, most big labels will insist on turning the compressor to the max so if anything they're the ones who'll make it sound horrible.

Yeah, the whole "in order of market share" thing is a red herring.
Did anybody seriously think IE wouldn't be first on the list?

Use your imagination. Let's see if you can figure out a way to make the experiment work...
eg. put a cardboard box over it and completely unplug it from the wall. Put on some relaxing whale music so you can't hear the LEDs.
Was that so difficult?
Ummmm ... ok. I can see how that works.

Good luck with that one...seriously.
Right, because teachers can easily spot phones which are set to silent mode and being used under disks at the back of class.

Or not.
Yes, let's disadvantage every student in the country just in case the unthinkable happens.
Airport security works on the same principle. Don't you think the paranoia cancer has spread far enough?
Maybe pulling out a phone will just move you further up the shooter's "troublemaker" list. Ever think of that...?
You can only pass notes to people near you. With a 'phone you can be distracted by anybody, anywhere.
