You're obviously not a lawyer. I'm not either, but I at least know a bogus claim when I see one:
If you don't zealously defend your intellectual property, you lose it.
This is only true for trademarks, which is only one of the many types of protected intellectual property. Patents aren't subject to the same set of rules.
You don't need to write 0s or random data to disk, just format that sucker and start using it. Also, if you want, email New Egg to tell them about the problem. Maybe they'll forward the message onto the supplier who refurbishes drives and resells them without wiping the data first.
Then my distro went to KDE 4, and I couldn't make any sense out of it.
Yeah, but have you tried it recently? Too many distros jumped the gun on KDE4 and started using it a few releases before it was ready as a viable replacement to KDE3.
I know that I was in the same boat as you for awhile, but after a few more releases I now find KDE4 to be better than 3 in almost every way.
And the Regressions?

KDE 4.8 Released
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
I love KDE and have used it exclusively since the 3.2 days, but damn am I getting tired of the regressions. Things that used to work beautifully are suddenly bugged beyond use. I expect that to happen with early revisions of major releases, but the trend that started in 4.1 continues through a clean install of 4.7.2 that shipped with my distro.
In any case, thanks for the best desktop environment I've ever used. KIOSlaves (if they are still called that) are awesome, and we should all be thankful for KHTML, which laid the foundation for Webkit-based browsers everywhere.
The name of the SSID is immature and vulgar, but nothing different from the average conversation on XBox Live. My concern is with the cops getting involved and talking about the potential that a "bias crime" has happened here. Really?
Doesn't free speech guarantee some dumb teenager's right to say or broadcast stupid things?
Except Republicans, conservatives, Christians, people who respect the constitution. They're all free game.
You almost had a point there until you got around to trolling with the "people who respect the constitution" part.
And yeah, a lot of people hate a lot of the so-called values that many Republicans, conservatives and Christians have been pushing these days. But that coin has two ugly sides to it, so let's not pretend like there's anything unique going on here.
Because blacking out sites like reddit and Slashdot, where 99.9% of the userbase is already aware and opposed to SOPA, is a completely useless waste of time, page views and bandwidth.
There's no such thing as a good WYSIWYG any more. Unless there's something out there that will generate previews using Chrome, Firefox, IE and Safari all in the same tool, and that tool is also an IDE that you're looking for.
Find a good text editor or PHP IDE and use tools like Chrome DOM Inspector or Firebug for Firefox to tweak your CSS and view its results in real-time.
Oh that's hilarious, it's obvious a problem with "my" code because IE9 doesn't render a 3rd party website out of the box.
Also, your quote about how it will function no different than any other browser is hilarious, considering the fact the doctype solution that Microsoft came up with is used exactly for changing the function and behavior.
I'm not sure you understand what I linked to. The user "plannedchaos" is Scott Adams, pretending to be someone else, while furiously defending his own ego.
This line really kills me: "And he's a certified genius. Just sayin'."
Those "expired" numbers are as good as unexpired ones: in either case the account could have been closed, but other than that it's a simple thing to brute force the renewed expiration date.
You're forgetting about the CCV "extended verification" digits on the back of the card, they are rotated along with the expiration date but not in such a predictable pattern.
Brute forcing one of those will almost assuredly have the card locked out before you get a chance to spend any money.
Firefox and Chrome can get away with pushing updates all day long because those updates aren't anywhere nearly as likely to break any existing website.
But Microsoft poisoned their own well with IE6. A forced upgrade means forced incompatibilities because their older stuff was (intentionally) so far off from the standards to begin with.
I don't care for SOPA as much as the next reader, but Wikipedia's management really sucks. I tend to avoid that site ever since Jimmy turned it into an annoying ad-driven "give us more moneys" show.
The thought of shutting down access to Wikipedia for 24 hours to make a political statement really spits in the face of contributors that have provided either money or content.
I think the move to binary storage for syslog files could be great for efficiency all the way around. A very simple CLI tool that dumps the ASCII syslog equivalent would make for a very nice transition piece.
You could continue using your existing syslog-based tools to monitor / alert / debug / whatever without having to change much at all. As an added bonus, the tool could accept optional search & filter parameters that are applied to the binary form before dumping ASCII output. That would save the CPU a bit of time to grep through thousands of lines of unrelated logs just to report on the one or two system services that you want to monitor.
As you've probably figured out, YAST is your friend. It's like a Control Panel / RegEdit combo -- puts a lot of system options in a mostly well organized GUI for changing with mouse clicks. As far as drivers go... YAST is where you go to configure a lot of them.
"Program Files" doesn't really exist. Instead, an environment variable called "PATH" contains a list of commonly used app folders like/bin,/usr/bin, etc. Downside: you may not know where your binaries live. Upside: You generally don't need to know. Just type the name of the command, and if it's listed in PATH it will be found.
Use RPMs where ever you can. When you can only find source code, you will have ~ 75% success rate with these three steps. 1) Unzip the tar.gz or.bz2 package to some folder. 2) Change directories into said folder and run "./configure" and keep your fingers crossed. 3) Type "make install" to compile and install the software. When this doesn't work, it's usually because you need some library "-dev" package installed using YAST, but sometimes you're just unlucky and need to learn in an awkward trial / error / Google cycle.
A coworker of mine uses Mozilla Thunderbird for Exchange access. I'm required to run a few other Windows tools for work, so I keep a Windows 7 VM using VirtualBox and I just run Outlook there. If I don't want to boot up the VM, I'll use Outlook Web Access to get by in my web browser.
Knobs, levers, buttons, tons of them in a 20+ year old standard. You can get USB-based MIDI controllers for $100-$500 depending on how much you want and need, but I think something like the Akai MDP-16 or MDP-24 would be a really good starting place. Faders, knobs and large buttons -- all unmarked -- for you to start with.
Maybe you can make some kind of cardboard cutout with labels that you can overlay on top to make it look custom and match the UI of your app.
Almost all rap (or hip-hop) beats are still based on a traditional 4/4 rhythm. Even though the beats are intentionally placed in odd places, you can still count out a metronome's 1-2-3-4 rhythm and find that the music repeats (or makes a significant change) every 4 bars.
You're missing the fact that many consumers (including everyone I know using Netflix) dropped the DVD service once it became a completely separate plan. So no, Netflix is not getting $15.98 from a large portion of their customer base.

This is no different than the common cold, 90% of which come from a virus instead of bacteria.

Not a Java developer, but a quick search for "java break statement" shows you can set labels in your code and then specify them when you break.
Why is slashdot ignoring the blackout?

Sounds fantastic. Plus, think about how many more Windows Updates to GUI components that won't require a full reboot.

Fud? Get real.
IE9 is a completely good browser.
I wouldn't know. IE9 breaks websites that work in IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox and Webkit-based browsers.
I have the same feelings towards IE9 that I have towards 7 and 8 -- Microsoft's "better" browser is still not good enough.

I think Dilbert's pretty funny and all, but Scott Adams is a pretentious douche. The proof is in his reddit comment history. Yeah, wow.
