You virtually never have that problem with adblock plus. Moreover, you don't have to maintain the same hostfile that many others would maintain too. By definition, host files are more limited, more manual, more prone to being out of date, and more error-prone. If I was going to use a system-wide solution, it'd be something like junkbuster, but that's way too slow, and too prone to breaking sites. Finally, the adblock plus lists are automatically updated, and maintained/monitored by a global community.
I just don't click on it.
A lot of ads now are becoming extremely deceptive, designed to look like legitimate page elements. To avoid them, you would have to slow down your browsing process and start checking urls on hover etc. very carefully. That's not productive, when you can simply use a proper ad blocker.
The flash problems were a few years back, when 64-bit was relatively new. Since then, a wrapper was made around flash that makes the 32-bit version work with 64-bit browsers. There really haven't been any issues for a long time.
It would really hurt the whole moderation/reply setup
a) then the whole moderation/reply setup is broken and a bug should be filed. b) StackOverflow handles it just fine by adding a note to comments saying when they were edited. I think you can also get a diff of the changes, but I might be wrong about that.
One of my favorite things about Flash is that it's easy to block and control.
Easy to block, yes. Control? No. When everything from business chart applications to sex games are all just "objects" to a browser/html parser, it's pretty hard to control what's allowed and what's not.
In the limited category of speed, perhaps. It's only starting to catch up with firefox in terms of adblock support. That may be a small issue for you, but for many of us, it's a modern web necessity, just like anti-spam features are modern email necessities.
Wow, a year faster than british rural broadband. AND it did it with a smaller packet. As we all know, obtaining low-level services from lady pigeons en route is difficult when your packet isn't relatively impressive.
It would fail if it was only for those interested in FOSS, at least on the scale of MySpace and Facebook and I don't think that's what the designers intended.
Yeah, I don't it's limited to FOSS people at all. Clearly they also intend to reach Java developers, with features like "aspects"...
I mean, seriously, what is the average facebook user intended to understand from the word "aspect"?
"Hey Janie, haven't seen you in ages! We should keep in touch more. Are you on facebook?"
"Oh, you're on Facebook Mary? Yeah, of course I am. That's awesome, that we're both on there now. I'll have to add you. Oh, and check out my info page; I have a link to my diaspora aspect there. It'd be really cool if you were in my aspect."
"Aspect? Wha? Fuck you, Janie. I didn't think you were the mocking type."
I've been trying to use 64-bit Linux as my desktop for 5 years now...In the end I just... had to use 32-bit Linux on my desktop.
When did you last try? I had some troubles with debian/ubuntu early on, but I can't remember how long it's been since I had ANY 64-bit issues (except for some really old binary linux game I tried to run about 18 months ago, which needed an extra 32bit library sourced and installed).
Honestly, this whole article surprises me, because the 64-bit linux support is so good now, I thought flash WAS ported. If not, the wrappers work very well indeed.
If anything I've found the opposite: the MMOs I've played (Everquest, Ultima Online, Star Wars, few others) were all very repetitive, about mindless repetitive killing and following quest markers on maps towards more mindless repetitive killing. Stuff like UT was fun and furiously fast, but hardly less mindless, unless you call choosing which corner to shoot from a thoughtful occupation. At least the Baldur's Gate had an interesting story. Oblivion a little, but not so much. Even Civ IV is a bit too mindless, for all its focus on history and invention etc.
It's pretty obvious to anyone who cares enough to pay attention.
Is it? Any time I've played an action game (or any other game), I've found myself repeating what are very obvious, mindless routines once I learned the basics. Very, very few games actually require more mental agility than the ability to endlessly spam for points.
You know, I wrote the Chinese government years ago, about their invasion of Tibet. A few times over the years, I've wondered if going to China after that would be a bad idea. However, nothing ever came of it. Interesting that the US got so much more worked up.
Aren't these home signal booster things just repeaters? If so, what happens to mobile bandwidth when a lot of these repeaters are used instead of actual basestations?
Anyone else find this could become a potentially deeply worrying form of censorship?
That will only happen if someone is forced to use a religious search engine, but disallowed from using others.
More importantly, the post and every comment I've seen here about it is starting from the false assumption that people are making these search engines to censor reality. It's much more likely that they're simply trying to find relevant information for their needs. Try searching for the words god and... well, any other keyword really. The results aren't exactly a distillation of relevant canonical or even scholarly texts. And going to google scholar wouldn't necessarily help, as you'd get information from academics in that case, not from leaders of faiths.
Let's face it, if everyone used the word linux as a swear word, and a lot of people were asking linux-irrelevant questions online, like "How do I format my system drive using control panel?", Linux users would probably build their own search engine too. Oh, wait... they did.

Please refer to the following sections of documentation, which solve this issue:
* Wagons 2.6.4 - Outriders
* Outriders - 1.1 - Armaments

What the hell? How many operating systems do you think there are?!

Which would be simple if they'd stop fucking around and just open source their player code. After all, it's only the player, not the creator.
Goddamit, I really wish /. had a way to edit comments. Preview is great and all, but not much use when you think you've got it right.
We words will not be intimidated, no much how much we are leaned on.

If it was hopeless, why do we need to acquire masterkey?

He said he was drunk, and thinks he called him a prick. That means he was sober and ranted for hours about how he hates Obama.
Even so, it seems like a fair thing to say to a president. What, are world leaders not capable of facing a teenager's comments on their leadership?

You're thinking of rights in a much smaller sense.

No, they're agnostics.
Actually, it's an advanced model Texas Instruments Etch-a-Abacus.
That's a rather large assumption ;)
Personally I'm more worried about the vessel's construction, than how well equipped it is.
To you, perhaps.
