Google links to an enormous number of malicious sites. Should they be blocked in all web browsers for failing to police all of the sites they point people to? Can we really trust their competence in this situation if they just copy and paste sites into the block list (not to mention copying and pasting EULA's) without actually looking at what they're blocking?

I don't know. I was taught that Jesus hung out with poor and sick people, told us to love everybody, and warned about things like greed and deceit. McCain's version of Christianity seems more the corporate variety.
Also, if you have some extraordinary superhuman ability, the last thing you want is people to know you have it. That could cause people to fear you, interfere with your ability to do your thing, or attempt to exploit your ability for their purposes.
Am I the only person who remembers the prosecution presenting pictures that were supposed to incriminate him but ultimately proved to be photoshopped? Or blood samples that was supposedly on the crime scene but only appeared after they took blood from him, and contained chemicals in it from the lab that took the blood sample? Or that they declared a glove fitting his hand was enough to incriminate him, and the glove didn't even fit? I mean, just because you think there was no reasonable doubt doesn't mean the evidence suggested no reasonable doubt.
In English class, they taught us that when it comes to advertising speak, the words "basically", "virtually", and "almost" are all words that really mean "not".
The summary says they claim they're not keeping IP addresses or cookies, but there's nothing there that says they don't keep the actual addresses of the websites you go to. That seems like a much bigger deal for privacy.
Some are being left disappointed with gameplay. I'm picking up the game for the story, and if that is good, I won't mind the gameplay so much. People forget that KOTOR's gameplay was pretty bad.
Have you considered just getting a DVD? Then you don't have to deal with the gameplay at all.
I'm thinking 64-bit applications that transfer a lot of data through registers will run faster than 32-bit applications because they're transferring 64 bits at a time instead of 32.
My second generation Nano will cause the blue screen of death on Windows XP if I plug it into the USB port on my PCMCIA card. It's done this consistently since I got it a year or so ago. It works fine in the port built into the computer. Strangely, my first generation Nano doesn't get the blue screen in either port. So I tend to think the problem is with Apple, just because going from an old Nano to a new Nano did the same thing.
At the IRS building, we actually do that. Not every 5 minutes though. There are a couple of times I have been instructed to get up and walk around, just to make the lights come back on. And there are a few times I've taken less traveled paths to my desk, only to make unused lights come on and briefly feel bad about costing the government "millions" by being reclusive.
The newest Wal-Mart out here has a slightly better sensor for refrigerated aisles that light up when people walk by. I cost them "millions" too because it's just so cool to walk down an aisle and have a pathway light up for you as you go.
I don't know about computer games, but I think it is perfectly legitimate for my Amazon rating for CD's to be affected by DRM. I basically buy compact discs to feed my iPod. So any disc that won't play in the computer is of little value to me, and deserves a 1-star rating, especially since they don't always mention that it's not technically a compact disc.
In one of my sociology classes, my teacher said the good news was that, for every person, there is somebody out there who is the perfect match. But the bad news is it is very unlikely that these two will ever meet. So if that's true then maybe setting up facebook and myspace accounts and adding as many "friends" as possible is the way to go.
I suspect what will happen is, somebody will figure it costs more to broadcast a stronger signal, everybody has been getting by with the weak signal, plus the TV viewers have no choice now, so it would make better business sense to keep the weaker signal.
Why don't they just give the filesystem's creator a computer and have him continue to update it from inside the cell? He'll have plenty of time to get it done, still won't be out on the streets, and if he enjoys it then it won't be cruel and unusual punishment.
The guy basically says that the Blu-Ray format will be huge, this year. He then goes on to say how it will rapidly become obsolete.
Great way to, er, halt sales in their tracks.
I'm thinking his words were not meant for end users. Maybe he's trying to convince investors that they will make money from Blu-Ray sales in the short term, but from OLED sales in the future.
I know a lot of Black and Hispanic people who would choose the objective algorithm over the human, even if it means no management positions available. It could do things affirmative action was never able to do. But I wonder how long such an algorithm could last before people were able to game the system to get a higher rank, the way websites do in Google searches.

It might work pretty well in video game magazines, assuming they have PlayStation titles.

Punch him in the face?
Trust me, that will end up on Facebook too.
Maybe this is a good time for someone to patent Eminent Domain. It's a new idea now, since its being done on the internet.
How about a license plate cover that can only be seen clearly from lower angles, but is a garbled mess from high angles?
If this comes to be, the "truth" of a website will be bought and sold just like search engine relevance.

In either case, you definitely want wi-fi and definitely don't want the Sony battery.
Here's one: If seat belts made us safer, we'd be allowed to wear them on commercial flights.
I'm thinking they want to keep using Gecko because they made it and want to justify its existence.
I'm working on a plan to make a few of these things viable by dumping them into a large hadron collider. What could possibly go wrong?

Comparing release quality software to beta quality software is simply unfair.
Yes, but we're comparing it to Firefox and XP...
