I disagree; this is not always the case nor an excuse.
Some (actually most of) free (as in beer) sources get money (in advertisement) from information they give to you. Therefore, it's a profit-oriented businness and they are supposed to make some effort to keep its accontability. Some sort of "moral responsability"
However, I agree that this is a de facto bussiness model:
1) Stuff any non-reliable info into a site;
2) Get popularity
3)... (has something to do with ads)
4) Profit!
I disagree: I learned written english in school just like you; by writing and reading, not typing.
Moreover, "they're/their/there" are not even synonyms: they're simply words with similar sounds, and you're supposed to learn the difference between them in written language when you learn to write.

I don't really get... Why in the name of $DEITY they need to scan it? Isn't your birthdate printed somewhere in your driver license? Isn't that enough for age-check purposes?
btw: I'm not american. In my country the birthdate is printed on your driver license. And having a driver license is enough to pass an age-check, since only 18+ ppl can drive here.
I really don't get... Is this a common mistake made by native english speakers? The difference between their/there/they're is so clear for me (non-native-speaker).
Another pet peeve of mine is your problem with it's/its.
Teh damn thing is that I have one mod point left to use... I wish I could mod this awful story down as "uninformative".
I mean, if/. editors are accepting such stories, I wonder monstruosities they are rejecting.
Yes, I would buy. But with the ridiculous prices they charge, I simply can't. It's frigging 10% of my monthly income for a half assed CD (ok, I'm an intern in a 3rd world country, but hey)!!
Big labels sucks at price-tagging 'cos most of the price (two thirds) goes to radio and MTV to preferreably play their music. Indie labels don't charge this, but they get obviously less attention of the public.
Just like microsoft did with several other things. Ergo, Google is the new Microsoft, not Apple.

Weird...
In Brazil, this game is called Interpol and Scotland Yard is a completely different (and boring) game. That must be some IP issue, go figure...
Almost the same with me...
We bought 10 PCs for our lab and two of them kept crashing when connected to the lan in some situations (more specifically when we tried to play our friday's Warcraft).
It took us bloody two weeks to figure out they have identical MAC addresses.
The most unbelievable/unstatistic detail: they were NEXT to each other.
click on the atatchments and have them procreating in seconds, without having to save them, make them executable
Micro$oft should patent "one click virus infection"
Will there be a price to pay for us? The legality is quite confusing (and yes, ignorance of the law, no matter how stupid, is no defence) and who knows what will happen to us...
I don't think so... If you acted in "good faith" and the law was actively broken by a thirdy party which sold it as an regular service, you've done nothing wrong...

Why it's called "mother-board"? What if it were called "uncle-board" or "granpa-board"?

Well, actually you only need to decode to signals: 0 and 1.
What about 11:11:11? The first six binary digits of the largest known Mersenne prime...
I, for one, welcome our new Encelords. Cool, it has an atmosphere, but does it run linux? And, last but not least... is it Sweex specific?
Blah It smells to me like an open door to malware. This doesn't happen in FF, but can you trust IE devteam to do something safely? I, for one, not.

well, this approach could be called "disk operating system". oh... wait
Well, there's an obvious workaround in this case: subtraction can be morphed into addiction by changing one term's sign. I gotta patent this

You missed the point The previous example was easy. What about code that is more complex?

Until one or more fingerprints databases leaks or get hacked. Knowing what they're looking for makes it easier to hide.
until netcraft confirms it =P
