A teacher being attacked by a student is like a Black person being attacked by a cop. Unless you have videotape, they're going to take the student's word over yours.
It wouldn't be censorship. Because all the newspapers get their articles from the same three sources. so you'd get the same news no matter which paper you choose. This would just make sure each paper got a share of the readers, rather than just one showing at the top and getting all of them. As for the browser being aware of the users' locations, that's a Firefox thing and it's optional. Blame them if you don't like it.
Before my website got hacked to hell, I had a lot of articles there, which I spent a lot of time producing. Google cached them all and made it possible to read all of them without ever going to my site. So basically my content was now Google's content and I got nothing for it, not even a page view. I figured out how to tell it to index but not cache, but still I had to opt out rather than opt in.
I think it's the search engines who are being greedy. The search engines' content is all the sites they index. The search engines want to get that content for free, and only the few indexed sites at the top of the list get anything in return for producing that content. To make matters worse, that top few often has to pay to be there, so the search engines offer nothing in return for their free content.
I don't think the newspapers have a problem with showing up in search results. I think their problem is every newspaper has the same content and only one of them will show up at the top of the search results. They'd be better off if there were no links to anybody and each paper had its local market to itself. I think a happy compromise, at least for the newspapers and search engines, would be if the search engines were aware of the users' location and only showed them the links from their local papers.
My guess would be, if it didn't work, it's easier to deny infecting people intentionally with mosquito bites than with needles. But honestly if I had to get injected with something, I think I'd rather have it done with a mosquito rather than a needle.
Windows has gotten better. Windows Vista doesn't do Autorun. A menu pops up asking what you want to do with the disc, and running the executable is one of the options. All of my discs rip fine, even the ones that wouldn't even load with older systems. That includes a Sony rootkit CD.
Worse, trusting the client is always an idiotic plan. Even if it isn't iSteve's precious baby, there will always be some phone(s) were the evil unauthorized users have access to the baseband(if nothing else, the people who design phones have to have the baseband interface specs, and I'm sure that sort of thing gets lost/dumpster dived/hacked/inside-jobbed from time to time).
It could be a Palm Pre pretending to be an iPhone...
I don't think any fee for giving the data to taxpayers is a "reasonable fee". I think the cost of distributing the data should be factored into the budget before they start the project, and if they can't afford to distribute the data to the people who paid for it, then they can't afford the project and shouldn't do it in the first place.
- You want gov't healthcare? Sign-up at age 18 and pay taxes the rest of your life. Don't want government doctors? Then don't pay the tax.
- You want retirement benefits? Sign-up to pay SS taxes at age 18. If not, then don't pay the SS tax and create your own savings account for the age 70 and up years.
I'd prefer that over the system we have now, in which I have to pay taxes but have no health care, and have to pay for social security that will be gone by the time I qualify for it. For the internet filtering, in my short existence, I have never seen any filter that actually works. They're just adding a layer of inefficiency to the internet.
I think if you have some data you just have to keep, and there are people willing to break into your home to take it from you, you might be better off with the data in your iPhone than something bigger.
I definitely agree with not wanting to use two media players. I'm on my third iPod, my daughters have iPods, and other people in my family have them, all syncing on my computer. So iTunes is going to be there no matter what. If I get a new phone, it would be nice if it syncs the same way instead of me having to install more software. Furthermore, I've been looking to go upscale with my phone and get either an iPhone, a Blackberry, a G1, or a Palm Pre, and this makes the Palm the most convenient.
On the other hand, I wouldn't like this situation nearly as much as one that was fully supported by iTunes. But I think if I go with the Palm, I could actually deal with this problem since it's not so frustrating when I know what the problem is, and how to get around it. You know when you update iTunes it will stop working, and when you update the Pre it will work again.
On the third hand, I don't even like using my phone as a music/movie player. There are reasons I keep getting iPods.
By the way, I'm an alien and we all have three hands.
For all the robotic warriors out there, they're selling a special edition of the Roboton blaster, and they're calling it the Super Roboton blaster. And they're charging a fortune. But you could get basically the same cannon for less money if you take a regular Roboton blaster and slap on a Megaton scope and a picture of Newt Gingrich's face.
But we're talking about people who spend $500 on graphics cards and buy refrigerators for their computers. Have you considered the possibility that a "gamer" is more likely than an "investor" to throw tons of money at something that's all hype?
I can assure you, in the United States, Black people do not benefit from racism. That is because most people react to complaints about racism the way you do. The black person gets treated bad, complains about it, and gets criticized for it.
Maybe you should stop looking at this as a (race) issue and look at it as a (harrassment in the workplace) issue. If you have to go to work every day and deal with people making fun of you or insulting you, you're in a hostile work environment. The fact that it's white on Black doesn't change that.
I'm very much against upgrading Windows with the old version still there. But I don't think upgrading Linux is any better. When I chose the option to upgrade Fedora 10 to Fedora 11, I ended up having to reinstall completely, and ultimately decided to stay with version 10 instead of 11. It's a good thing my files were backed up.
After all who would pay for music when they can just stream it for free on their Zune HD?
People who don't want to hear the commercials ever. And people who want to be able to play music while there is no internet connection. And people who want to hear the music on their iPods.

I think you just have to take out the word "and"...
They don't even have to start a new store. They can just set a time limit on the song. They already do that with ring tones.

What would you suggest they do?
The point was, Mozilla having a patch available is no better than Microsoft possibly having a patch available, if it isn't released.
It's possible Microsoft has an update somewhere to patch all known vulnerabilities of every version of Windows.
Pretty women and pretty websites are not useless. They're just... only good for their intended audience...

At the places I've worked, I bet you can reduce the brute force time from years to seconds if you know the names of everybody's kids and pets...
