Computers do not AUTOMATICALLY hit the "target computer". A person has to CHOOSE to download whatever the content is supposed to be.
If a user has already chosen to download something, their client may try to connect to anybody who has it.
1) find a popular torrent 2) tell tracker a certain IP address has the entire file, lots of upload slots, and huge upload bandwidth 3) tens of thousands of bittorrent clients try to connect to the IP address 4) successful DDoS
The entire idea is that it's not multiplatform. You write for one platform which is run in a VM on top of other platforms. Like Java, but (hopefully) with a better abstraction.
wxWidgets began a name change from "wxWindows" in September 2003. Since you still called it wxWindows, I must wonder whether you're really knowledgeable enough to conclude that must be "a crap framework".
The big bang theory simply says the universe at one time was extremely compact and quickly expanded. There is much evidence to support that. The big bang theory doesn't say everything popped out of nowhere. It actually doesn't say anything about how everything came to be.
It's easy to laugh at science when you purposely don't understand it.
Don't forget that he's definitely white. Very very pale. Christianity doesn't encourage people to be biased against other people, of course. It's just a fact that Jesus was white, and there's nothing those nig- I mean, sand mon- I mean, atheists can do to disprove that.
I don't think you understand how religion works. If somebody is determined to believe the entire earth was covered in water, they'll just tell themselves God must have added the water and then taken it away.
Stars, day and night, hurricanes, tornadoes, ocean waves, the moon, earth quakes, rain, seasons, etc have all been attributed to God when there was no better explanation. If you don't know how something happens, just attribute it to God.
You can't pick and choose which parts of science you like, and which parts of science you don't like. Talk about the ultimate hypocrisy.
Ultimate? The people right above you are crying that they should be praised for picking and choosing pieces of the Bible.
It's bad enough to entirely base all your beliefs on the Bible, but it's even worse when you know it doesn't make any sense, and instead of giving it up, you just chunk out the most ridiculous parts to make believing easier. If you have the mental capacity to see that the Bible is bullshit, but you go along with it anyway, you are worse than the fundamentalists who believe everything! At least they have the willpower to accept the entire Bible instead of just ignoring whatever is too difficult to swallow!
The people who choose to believe just the parts of the Bible they want to believe are making an explicit choice to believe what they know is wrong.
Wal-Mart Dells with a user-friendly Linux distro, of course. If every Wal-Mart was selling decent cheap PCs with Ubuntu pre-installed, Linux usage would rise immensely. It would definitely be by far the biggest boost to Linux the world has ever seen.
If such a deal were to happen, it could easily be the tipping point that leads to Linux overtaking Windows.
This Google+Dell spyware comes preinstalled and is purposely more difficult to uninstall than it should be.
OpenDNS provides DNS service (duh!) which is often much better than users' default DNS service. OpenDNS doesn't come preinstalled. Users have to willing chose to set it up and can just as easily disable it. The pages it shows for malformed URLs can even be turned off if you have a static IP address.
It makes absolutely no sense for you to say "bravo to Dell" for "using the leader in search relevance to give users something relevant", yet describe OpenDNS as a "cyber-squatter of typo-domains".
Dell Windows computers come with a program that updates some of the Dell crapware. I've heard this updater has recently starting installing new crapware without user confirmation.
If that was there goal, wouldn't they make it optional? Making it a requirement to do things the way they specify makes me think they aren't trying to help artists or internet radio stations.
If band X is played on an internet radio station, the radio must pay royalties to SoundExchange. If the owners of the song contact SE and pay them, they might get some of the money from the royalties. Since band X will probably not know about SoundExchange and probably not bother even if they do know, band Xes will probably benefit very very little.
The good side is that internet radio will be killed off. The MAFIAA tells me that would be a good thing, and they are on the side of artists, so it must be true.
The problem here isn't with content scanning. This problem comes from converting fullwidth characters to halfwidth characters without escaping them.
If you escape a Unicode string that contains fullwidth characters (without escaping the fullwidth characters), and then convert that escaped string to something like ASCII, the fullwidth characters may be converted to unescaped halfwidth characters.
If you never translate Unicode strings to non-Unicode, there's nothing to worry about.
UTF-16 is a variable-width encoding. Code points from plane 0 are encoded in 16 bits and code points from planes 1 through 16 are encoded as two 16 bit surrogates. Many developers, like you, aren't aware of this, so it's very common for software to choke on UTF-16 with surrogate pairs.
I don't understand how mistaking one character for another is going to break anything
scenario: 1) You escape a Unicode string that contains fullwidth characters. The fullwidth characters have no special properties, so they aren't escaped. 2) You translate the escaped Unicode string into ASCII. Fullwidth characters are translated into halfwidth characters. Some of those halfwidth characters, like quotes, have special properties.
The fullwidth quote was perfectly safe, because it wasn't treated like a quote. It was treated the same as an "A" or "b". But when it was translated to a "normal" quote, it went from being a plain old character to being a quote character, with a completely different meaning.
The lesson here is that you should never translate fullwidth characters into halfwidth characters unless you know whether they should be escaped or not, and you should escape them during translation if they need to be. Also, it's not a good idea to translate an escaped string between character sets.
Most implementations of Unicode insist upon UTF-16 (meaning all characters including Latin alphabets use 16 bits per letter).
16 bits is only enough to represent code points in the Basic Multilingual Plane. Unicode has 17 planes (0-16). Surrogate pairs can be used to represent characters outside the BMP. It is very common for software to choke on surrogate pairs, since many developers, like you, assume all characters encoded in UTF-16 are encoded in just 16 bits. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few security bugs due to that.
Sort of. The problem is that when Unicode is translated into other character sets, some characters that didn't need to be escaped before are translated into characters that do to be escaped.

The fullwidth characters have no special properties, so they aren't escaped. 2) You translate the escaped Unicode string into ASCII. Fullwidth characters are translated into halfwidth characters.

Over the last two centuries, different variants have been considered the metric system. Since the 1960s the International System of Units (SI) ("Système International d'Unités" in French, hence "SI") has been the internationally recognised standard metric system.
Did you have all the necessary fonts on the Windows box? You can't really blame OOo for you using fonts on Linux that Windows didn't have. You can however, blame OOo for not supporting embedded fonts. I'd agree that OOo needs some serious work.

I've heard Firefox will still create the HTML-like file, just not read it.
Obviously you've never read about Mork. It would be difficult to come up with anything less portable than Mork.
Piss poor printing support is part of the reason for switching to Cairo. Firefox 3.0 probably won't have this problem.

Wikipedia says the density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm^3.
200 lbs is about 90,718.474 grams.
The volume of 200 lbs of aluminum would be about 90,718.474/2.70 = 33,599.4348 cm^3.
A cube of that volume would have sides 32.268392 cm long, which is a little over a foot.
So 200 lbs of aluminum wouldn't take up much space, assuming you can just form it into a solid cube.
I would vote yes in a poll.

You've probably never given me any money. Does that mean you're depriving me of money? Not in my opinion.
If you really think not giving money is the same as depriving of money, then please stop depriving me of $10,000 immediately.
