Actually, it's more secure if you travel to the server where the information is stored, remove the hard drive, and perform forensics on it to determine what the data you are seeking is.
PAH! That's patently unsafe. What if you crash on the information super highway and die?
A "manual" web browser is safe. That is, you print out and manually inspect all the data being transmitted, including all the HTTP headers and the what not. That way, if you see anything fishy, just burn the print out:)
Yeah, it's really hard to animate the flash stuff and streaming media though. Brings a whole new meaning to dropping frames.
That's not what people mean when they say intelligent design.
You bring up a good point though, we should probably change the name of the theory to something more suitable, like ignorant design.
No intelligent designer would ever come up with people stupid enough to spout crap like intelligent design.
If I am correct, Hotmail email addresses generate the most spam on the internet, or at least have in the past. Whether this is because they have such a large user base or the security flaws aforementioned is debatable, but irrespective of this fact, accountability should be encouraged at all levels of the spamming process, from creation to transmission.
Or maybe it's because spammers are forging the return addresses and they don't come from hotmail at all.
I current have a wireless mouse(Logitech MX 1000) and I like the freedom of not having wires because it does not get stuck on some of the random crap on my desk. Why would someone want a wireless keyboard?
I have an MX700 and it's great. I'd never go back to wired mice. It's fast, no lag (in fact it's hyper-sensitive and requires the driver to slow it down a bit) very good for gaming and I don't keep getting the cable caught on the desk in mid-frag.
As for the wireless keyboard, I say the less wires the better. Under my desk there are a bazillion wires and mostly they're horribly tangled.
Also having a wireless keyboard is useful depending on your set up - my PC tower is on the floor and my monitor is huge, so the keyboard cable is only just long enough. If I want to move it (so I can put a joystick on the desk, for example) I'm stuffed.
The correct headline sould be: Push a button and land on a carrier as long as there is no software "glitch" or any single thing unforseen by the programmers, because unlike a real pilot, the computer will not quickly learn new skills to survive. Or are they going to make the system perfect, just like ABS, or ATMs, or PC software? Good luck.
Funny how the EuroFighter, JSF and numerous other unstable-by-design aircraft would fall out of the sky if it wasn't for the computers constantly making tiny adjustments and generally flying the plane in the first place.
I search Google for netbeans php plugin: 37,000 results. eclipse php plugin: 1.4M results.
Enough said.
Not really. That proves there are more results for Eclipse than NetBeans from Google. That doesn't mean Eclipse is better, or that the results are even relevant. Half of them are probably about astronomy and coffee.
The use of litigation to effect change in a society or business community seems rather suspect: it puts in place a very odd set of incentives. Lawyers get more money the more problems there are, and individuals must fear the lack of liability insurance. Lawyers and insurance companies have a lot to gain from encouraging a litigious society while individual people have nothing to gain (that I can see).
I suspect the reason for that is that corporate America has little accountability. The only recompense the little man has against corporate negligence is litigation. The government aren't going regulate them, so the lawyers will happily take up the slack.
AIM really hasnt improved for a few versions now. All they keep doing is adding more junk like weatherbug, a popupblocker, aim today crap, spyware scanner. It's a freaking IM program, leave it at that.
I use Trillain myself. The latest version is a bit bloaty itself, but it beats loading up 5 bloaty messengers.
I agree with the feature creep stuff though, I hate how software companies try to cram so much irrelevant crap into, what was once a decent, program.
Some people seem to like integration, but personally I prefer my apps seperated.
Take a look at MS Word, who uses all the features on that? Most of them are just bloody annoying, especially the autoformat features and other useless guff that you don't need but all 7344365646 of them are turned on by default so it takes 5 years to turn them all off (by which time a new version has come out with another 464868359689568965 features, most of which annoy me even more).
So you can't laugh, because Microsoft has patented all words from A to F, including 'funny'. I'd tell them to fuck off, but the licensing cost is prohibitive.
I thought that said 'fanny'. I suspect under fanny it will say "See: Bill Gates".

Ever heard of a keyboard cable extension?
Not yet, no.

That is a misleading subject
How can they run an XBox on Windows 3.11??
They can't, just like on the PC.
When I can be bothered writing the rest ;)
Will they bring back the cookie monster?
Super Grover where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow,
The men of cookie dough, the men of flour,
Are losing control by the hour.
I thought the first P2P network was fidonet.
Usenet: 1979 Fidonet: 1984
usenet is slow
Bit Torrent wouldn't exist without Usenet, as it was the first true P2P network.
I blame internet. Lets sue Al Gore!
I remember him. He's the guy that invented losing elections.
One helicopter crashes in Canada and suddenly every SeaKing is unsafe?

Although the other response I saw did not seem to catch it, I believe you are spoofing Ballmer's claim that iPod will not exist in 5 years... Right?
/. you'll see the story.
Mr Gates was the one who commented on the Ipod AFAIK.
Close. He claimed Google would not exist in 5 years. If you scroll down
"...Counterintuitively, companies that spend less in order to get more from information technology will likely be the big winners."
I predict MS won't exist in 5 years!

We could... force 'em to um... only buy Microsoft stuff. That would teach 'em!
As if they didn't have enough human rights issues...
You know what that means... Zombies!!!
...in government.
Just look at Dick Cheney, he's already died at least once. And then the prez, well he's braindead at the very least.
And who would pass the laws that would make buying laws illegal? Anyone have enough money to buy this law into existance?
Yeah the megacorps that buy laws....aw crap!
or does that only apply if you're DOSing a company who can afford to buy laws?
They should make buying laws illegal.
