I run FF 24/7 for weeks on end on Windows and it never goes over 200MB. I accept it's still a lot but then I also tend to browse lots of forums with crappy animated avatars and the like. I can have 20 tabs open across three windows and it still doesn't go over 200. I'm amazed that some people find it using memory in the order of gigabytes.
Good idea, but is it cost-effective if you only have a few items to sell? Can I be certain that I won't end up paying listing fees and failing to get rid of the equipment? Not to mention the hassle arranging shipping for bulky items. No doubt a million people will post this but a good solution which gets the equipment to people in the local area is Freecycle.
Exactly, people use the non-rude pronunciation precisely to avoid sniggering and off-topic giggles about butts. It's not about sounding scientific as such.
But it's not really a 'Hello, World' program then, is it, it's a 'Hello, World' with a load of includes and other stuff you don't need. Amazingly enough, the designers of said IDE didn't envisage that all you'd want to do is print 'Hello, World' on the screen, so they made some assumptions about sockets, GUI controls etc.

He has a product to sell, the report features some flaky extrapolation of data ("well, if I found this many across a million servers, on the whole internet there must be LOADS!") - why are we bothering with this?
Can't let the US take a lead on this issue. Freedom of movement is demonstrated by the fact they won't even consider imposing it on inter-union travel.
They make me carry round a card which uses RFID to unlock doors of my building. Oh the humanity, now they know at the flick of a switch whether I'm in the building or not.
And Schneier's point is moot, as the school will soon notice a discrepancy between the apparent presence of said student who lent his shirt to his colleague, and the teacher's testimony with their own eyes.
If this is the case, then why are none of the artists earning mega-money those who came across without help from the record industry? I even hear people tell me that the Arctic Monkeys, a (once) very popular band in the UK who were apparently the poster boys for the MySpace/DIY fame explosion were actually hyped up by big record label reps before signing for an independent (one of the bigger ones incidentally, who also own Franz Ferdinand)
Actually, these days a lot of BBC content is produced by independent companies and the BBC merely pays for the right to broadcast it. They are no more "the public's property" than any major US show.
Except it never takes off because there aren't enough people in the swarm to keep download speeds high, because they're all on the other side grabbing rips for free.
Streaming the data live over a network is surely the only way they will be able to keep a lid on it, as opposed to giving the data to the consumer for them to play with and crack. As you point satellite services like DirectTV & Sky have the problem down to no more than a nuisance. Cable services even less so, certainly in Europe (ripping off cable is more of a theme in the US from what I gather). But it seems to me that the whole idea of giving physical copies of the data will be thrown out eventually.
I don't understand why Storm worm stories are repeatedly tagged with 'skynet', and why users always seem to refer to 'self-awareness' in posts. Because you can be sure that there is a human behind this.
The BBC used to do most stuff in house and own the rights etc
Even in the days when they did own the rights to all their programmes there was still the need to pay performers residual fees, writers' royalties, etc. etc. If the BBC happened to produce that didn't automatically mean they could repeat it again and again without cost. Repeat fees were often agreed during production, and certainly the media upon which something could be broadcast were decided long before, so broadcasting pre-Internet shows on the net isn't straightforward.
until it gives the British public access to the programmes that they have paid for without DRM or restriction
And therein lies the problem - by making it available to the British public without restriction they inadvertently make it available to the rest of the world, which puts all sorts of rights deals with other broadcasters in jeopardy, as well as the lucrative after-broadcast DVD market within which BBC Worldwide is a major player.
The choice is simple: DRM or not at all. Sad but true.

That's right, if he has a complaint which doesn't match your view, he must be envious.

Their entire business? Are you familiar with the story?
Someone must be pushing the average on my behalf, I haven't bought a CD in about nine years.

Well why wasn't there all this fuss when the Malicious Software Removal Tool started making its way onto machines?
Where's the imagination when the joke appears for the 30th time?

Heh, and they referred to "England Bank" in their correspondence. Note to criminals - before you pull off a stunt like this, do your research.
Because it's their product? You have choices.
Wonder who pockets the interest?
Rather a crude estimate though. We are relying on the average price figure being truthful.
How odd, it last made the news precisely 364 days ago.
