No they just banned the sites hosting the proxies and sites listing the location of proxies.
Strangely, you can't post a link to a site that is banned. How many levels of indirection are required to get around it? If someone posts a banned link here, and I link to Slashdot, is that ok? What about a link to a blog that links to slashdot that links to the banned site?
Stupid politicians. If you want to have a blacklist go ahead and try, but banning sites that link to blacklisted sites is just stupid - especially if you are trying to keep the list secret.
What I would like to know is why Photoshop even needs a firewall exception in the first place. Checking for updates or patches comes to mind, but that should just use the regular http ports. Does Photoshop have some fancy-pants multi-player mode that requires open ports for communications?
Don't forget Nomad. It was launched in the early 2000s, and was presumed destroyed after a collision with a meteor. In reality it collided with an alien probe called Tan Ru and became a hybrid system that went on a murderous rampage through the galaxy.
Of course I know this doesn't really count - Nomad was a probe, not a satellite.
Saves me making a full complaint to the consumer watchdog.
In the long run it would be better if you did complain to the consumer watchdog. On second thought, it's more hassle for you and the game publisher will just ignore it anyway... Never mind.
Probably no animals made extinct due to rabbits, they only affect local animals by competing for food. Cane toads kill anything that eats them, what makes this worse is that cane toad tadpoles are toxic too. Whether or not this has caused (or is currently causing) extinction of local species is difficult to say.
A better example is foxes and feral cats, both of which have had a devastating impact on Australian fauna. This is definitely contribution to extinction rates.
Addressing your main point - the harsh environment on Mars would certainly limit contamination if we sent rabbits and toads there, however when you send microbes that are known to survive in harsh conditions it's not so easy to be sure.
IE8 marketshare can only increase from people upgrading from earlier versions of IE, or switching from alternate browsers
What happens when Microsoft push out IE as a 'Critical' patch via Windows Update? That is an upgrade from a previous version right there, whether IE is actively being used or not.
The "real" market share for IE might not increase, but you can bet that MS will be touting the number of IE8 downloads/installations to anyone and everyone.
People ALREADY pay to see movies in cinemas, and buy DVDs and Blu-Rays. If the movies were better, more people would go to see them. Money is not spent on suing people, and more money comes in from ticket and disc sales.
The same people taking it for free now would still do it. The upside is they would have better movies too.
Obviously we need an analogy that somehow involves computers and electronics, high-energy particle physics, astronomy, or trebuchets and other archaic weapon systems. Or perhaps a combination of all those things.
The only practical way when using a "laser" is to attach it to the head of another marine animal. Obviously they can't be sonar-sensitive mammals, so would have to be fish. They'd also have to be large enough to be able to carry these "lasers".
Now, what large fish could we use to carry these fricking things... ?
There is a photo by Bob Talbot called 'Aquadyne' (and another taken around the same time) showing dolphins in the bow-wave of a large ship. One is just visible surfing the bow-wave and one has jumped out of it, rising several metres above the surface.
They also don't properly take into account sources that are considered "not viable" because it's too expensive to extract the oil. When the price of oil goes up, suddenly it becomes economic to develop the resource.
1) Font rendering problems. Any font sizes specified in points were about 2-3 times the size they were supposed to be relative to anything else on the page. I eventually figured out that to fix this I had to manually set layout.css.dpi in about:config. I had this problem too, but assumed it was a glitch in the CSS of the two websites (both run by me) that I had trouble with. I never got around to any real investigation of how to fix it. Strangely, when I set my screen resolution to 1024x768 to run a projector in clone mode those websites appeared as normal.
After the update to the RC from Ubuntu's auto-update the problem disappeared.
I didn't notice any sluggishness, if anything it seemed slightly faster for me. As for your complaints with the URL bar - well, different people work differently, it didn't bother me at all but I can see how you might find it annoying.

You forgot to include - "and we are all sick of it as well".
There is nothing immoral about porn or prostitution as long as it's voluntary.
Morals are irrelevant, they vary widely and are dependent on the local culture. What is LEGAL in the local jurisdiction is the more important issue.

Clearly, Iridium isn't tough enough either.

Agreed - although this type of statement really belongs in the comments, not the summary.

You know: stuff we all understand...

They are most definitely having fun.
And for what it's worth, I think taking spirituality seriously to be a HUGE error.
I beg to differ. I think spirituality should be taken seriously, but taking religion seriously is a huge error.
Are you talking about the known unknowns? Or the unknown knowns? As long as it is not those dastardly unknown unknowns!

But how much would that weigh?
So - what was his response?
Like many other readers here, I really really hate car analogies applied where they don't belong, or applied incorrectly.
Your post is not one of them. Well done.
What does the address chunkylover53@aol.com tell you?
Replying to undo wrong moderation - I clicked the wrong option and it was applied before I could stop it. Stupid auto-save system...
