Exactly - how long before the w4R3z d00Dz change the filenames to the non-blocked term "3minem".
Interesting thought - does Kazaa let you use wildcards in searches? what if "Eminem" is blocked, but "*minem" isn't? Not only would blocking "Kylie" block other artists with that name, but people could still get around it by searching for "*ylie"....
I base it on the Windows XP box I'm using to develop WebServices, for - guess what? IIS. In the last year the XP box (which is never more than 24 hours out-of-date with MS updates) has BSOD-ed twice. That's a marked improvement on previous Windows versions, but it's still not good enough. In the hundreds of Debian machines I used to admin in a previous job, we never had OS stability problems. And before you start hollering that XP is older than Win2k3, the Debian distro was older than both.
few around these parts have the slightest clue about the huge improvements Microsoft has in their web server
So look at the other side of the exact same coin - few anywhere outside Microsoft have the slightest clue how many undiscovered bugs still lurk in the code for their web server. MS continue to ignore bugs and rely on "security by obscurity" with their software, and that simply isn't good enough for mission-critical applications. My experience developing for IIS has shown that the same version of IIS will behave in different ways depending on which OS is used, and that can be a real hassle - but hey, it keeps some of us employed, so I guess I shouldn't complain...
The reasons Linux distros require more patches is twofold:
1. There is more software to patch, generally. Debian has, what, tens of thousands of packages now? And as previously stated, the vast majority of it is not part of the core OS. Windows as an OS, on the other hand, suffers from feature bloat and the hordes of security holes and stability problems that accompany it. 2. F/OSS developers actually fix their software, and usually in a timely fashion. Case in point: Microsoft have left at least one critical bug in Internet Explorer unpatched for six months.
Granted that Windows has improved a lot since its inception, but it still has a long way to go to match the stability and security of a decent Linux distro in a real live working environment. Linux distros still fall short on newbie-usability (sadly the F/OSS community have historically underestimated the critical importance of this), but that's the only ground I'm willing to give to Windows, even now.
While we're going all "missing options" ala Slashdot-poll on this fella's ass, can I query the possible absence of "Godel Escher Bach" by Douglas Hofstadter? Presumably it fails to be classified as a "novel" even though maybe 50% is fiction containing the same characters throughout...
I didn't know that the NSA provided that sort of service. How do you describe it? Discreet and in-tract-able? Or are these women simply unaware of the popularly-held belief that "you don't want to fuck with the NSA"...

There may actually some truth to the "sunscreen causes cancer" theory, although to my knowledge nothing conclusive has been proven outside of a laboratory environment (disclaimer: I have studied and researched this topic in some depth).
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) used to be a common ingredient in sunscreens, and has been found to mutate cells. It has generally been removed from sunscreens nowadays anyway, ostensibly because it caused allergic and/or photosensitive reactions in some people.
Metal (usually zinc or titanium) dioxides have been the "flavour of the month" since, as they excel at reflecting UV light and are less irritating to the skin. However, some studies suggest that the photocatalytic properties of these oxides may potentially result in mutations of contacted skin cells.
Having said all that, going out in the sun without sunscreen is still orders-of-magnitude more likely to result in cancer.
For the sake of argument, let's believe the hype just for a moment. From TFA:...the approximate sixty claims between the two U.S. patents awarded and a third pending, and numerous international patents secured as well. "Our patent attorney is very pleased with how broad our patent protection is," Taylor said.
If the design is so revolutionary, more financially viable than conventional power, and better for the environment, then no doubt they'll make a killing financially whether they patent it or not, as they're the experts and have the lead on manufacturing it. Why bury it under years worth of patent protection, instead of releasing it to all and saving the planet?
...except in the UK, where "Metro" is available for free on many form of public transport in the bigger cities. Why buy a paper when you can get one for free - especially when there's already one waiting on the bus, so you don't have to find a newsstand?
So... if it's quality material worth watching, then it's worth paying the people who produce it (and encouraging them to make more). If it's not worth watching it, why tarnish the name/concept of P2P technologies by squandering it on pirating something copyrighted that, in the same breath, people say is not worth the trouble?
To play devil's advocate, how do you know it's crap movie until you've seen it? Opinions of other people only carry so much weight, and personal taste varies widely...

Fact: this bug was reported six months ago, but it is only now that someone has publicly shown how to use it to run arbitrary code.
Who knows how long other people have been exploiting this bug - potentially in ways not involving Javascript as well?
What do you base this on? Windows 95?

We'd see a phenomenon, like, say, gravity. Then we'd say, "Hmm. It's really hard to see how this could be. So God or Elvis or some alien makes it go."
If Elvis invented gravity, it certainly came back to bite him in the ass in his later years...

No, if it was un-american it would be made of aluminium instead...
