After thinking about it I do agree that it sounds a bit strange, but only because of the way the author wrote it. The verb is technically fine, but it just doesn't "fit".
I don't get a tooltip on their site, and I don't see anything in the code. In any case, they are stupid if they added that because there is no security gained by doing so. The attacks detailed could just add it themselves, and there's nothing that says that the tooltip has to match the actual location anyway.
Heh, the General Mills symbol is a cursive G, not an ampersand.
Seriously, let's just ban cursive, and not just in product names. For FSM's sake, nobody uses it, schools don't teach it anymore, and it looks pretentious.
My problem with this is that sharing files is not illegal, nor is sharing music. Sharing copyrighted files without rights to do so probably is in Ireland, but forcing ISPs to block legitimate sites in a broad manner like this because they have the potential to "damage" your business is bullshit. And blocking the Pirate Bay is another brand of bullshit since the only file-sharing going on there is with.torrent files.
Irma, which represents major music groups EMI, Sony-BMG, Warner and Universal, is to begin compiling lists of websites that it claims are damaging its business.
Does this include sites like Magnatune, which offer independent music at much lower prices or even for free? I mean, that's damaging to its business, right?
Considering that this trial is in Sweden, the submitter may be Swedish (though they do learn English pretty thoroughly in school), and homophones can tricky even for native speakers, I think we can let this one slide.
No, I'm saying do it at the DNS level. You can have a website on a TLD itself. A Slashdot user here has a page about it, though it's outdated. My point is that you can have a TLD without an SLD. I'm not talking about browsers guessing where you want to go.
What I don't understand is why nobody has introduced a consumer PC that can use the TV as a monitor.
What? Video cards have had DVI, HDMI, and composite outputs for years. You even said you use S-Video. All you do is take a cable from the computer (i.e., the video card) to the television set, which I think any non-nerd can do.
The parent is complaining that Sony stopped running servers for their older games, and you reply with "the advantage of the centralized servers is that as long as MS keeps it running, the games are still playable"? That's exactly what he's complaining about, but with Sony. They are no longer running the servers, and the games are therefore unplayable. That is not an advantage. Am I missing something?
How would it be different than it is now? For example, with Nissan.com, which is owned by a company that sells computers rather than the Nissan Motor Company. If you use a general name like Milk or one that is used by other people, of course there will be conflicts. Say there are two movies titled Milk. Where would milk.movies go? A hierarchical system like that doesn't help here, unless you have a more complex system with something like milk.2008.movies and milk.otheryear.movies. In any case, you don't just open a browser and type a domain name like milk.movies expecting it to go where you want unless you see it in an ad.
So instead of something like having Nissan.cars and Nissan.computers, why not just have NissanCars and NissanComputers, cutting out the TLD "middleman"? The World Wide Web as it is today doesn't really need a hierarchical system like Usenet has.

No, by then there will be no need for numbering versions because there will only be the current version. There will be no older versions.
Holy shit, you weren't joking.
I'm still waiting for the day when I can regex the Internet.
Wow. Just wow. Their entire website consists solely of low-quality JPEGs with absolute positions in CSS. Don't even try using it in Lynx.
Perhaps they think you're trying to spike their servers.
Heh, maybe I'm just being MITMed.
You can make Firefox look like Internet Explorer.
Tools > Options? I don't see that anywhere. You mean Edit > Preferences? :-P

Passwords are not the only thing people encrypt.
No, mousing over input buttons in Firefox does not display the form's action URL.

One of those female pointer dogs, but one that doesn't actually exist.
You can uninstall the addon by opening regedit and deleting the jqs@sun.com entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions.
Or just put this in a .reg file and run it:
I do not think monetization means what you think it means.
What are you talking about? 803680 + 874969 does not equal TRUE.
