So you can put a 16x card in it - it will work, only get less bandwidth. You can do this with a 'standard' 8x slot too, but you would have to cut off part of the card's connector.
And you think Mr. Fusion is Intelligently Designed to make little electrons move where we want, and that big-momma turbine is there just for the show? And the white clouds steaming from that are not, well, steam?
Fission/i> (no fusion in power plants yet) only heats the water, which then goes to a massive steam engine that produces the electricity.
You missed my point. I, as a user, dont give a damn about the copyrightness/PD-ness of the page I want. I just want it *as it is*, without added cruft. If I request a page I expect to get the exactly what the server, well, serves. ISPs messing with the insides of webpages should be illegal, period, at least in my book.
Yeah, but what about e.g. public domain stuff? I don't think it should be A-OK for my ISP to stuff ads into pages that I request, regardless of their copyright status.
But obviously, if copyright law can hurt companis doing it, fire away. [I hope] They'll most likely sht it down entirely when/if the other option is paying damages or a lengthy court battle.
The right my ISP has to copy it is only for the purpose of publishing it in the transaction I have explicitly permitted: publishing it on URL requests.
A proxy makes a copy for reasons other than publishing the content in the current transaction, so (nitpicking) it would mean it is ilegall.
Anyway. I'm not sure if copyright should be the law preventing this, I'd much rather have it illegal under some sort of privacy or wiretapping law.
I mean, UPS doesn't stick adverts inside mail, and what the ISP is doing is pretty much equivalnt to slapping an advert on the second page of a book they deliver.
10 doublings is a factor of 1024, you insensitive clod! Have you missed the entire gibi-gibberrish debate just above?
Its more like 9,965784284662087 doublings or thereabouts. You're 18 days off (for the PB drives).
try...catch is really great, but if you're using C++ instead of C, which does not have try..catch, you might as well use something with constructors/destructors that will do the allocation automatically
Getting the OS to run, maybe? P42GHz and 768MB of ram is a perfectly fine non-gaming machine, and any OS demanding more is retarded in my book. Anyway, even Vista should run - maybe not 100% smooth - on that setup.
Is there a way to turn this off? (other than filtering at the firewall level, obviously)
Um, yeah, about that Games Explorer thing...

...I was wondering where it gets the box art from, and how.
All I did was run some old game (UT99 iirc) without installing anything, and lo and behold it got added to the games explorer. Now, it's not such a bad thing in itself, but who did Windows send the information on what I've just played? How is it even detecting that a game has been run? Is it screening all DX apps and sending a checksum of the executable somewhere?
I once pulled a USB stick out of the (front) port and my integrated network card stopped working. I shit you not. It was dead even after a reboot, but a hard power-off for a few second made it work again. No idea how that sort of thing is even possible.
Yeah you're sort-of right - I was thinking about a sensible ISP that prioritizes stuff like dns, ssh, connection requests and throttles bulk traffic when the load gets high, you know, what QoS is all about.
Capping bittorrent or anything else because setting up a proper QoS takes more effort is a sign of a crappy ISP, nothing else. I don't think it has anything to do with the net neutrality (as in not prioritizing packets from a "premium" source) when the ISP just caps BT.
User-friendliness for the win... It would probably kill the Firefix devs to put those options somewhere in the Options or preferences screen or whatever.
By that logic, in Denmark, if I call someone and threaten to kill them, is the phone company guilty as well? Is it different if I use VOIP?
Also, if I mail someone a pirated DVD, is the post guilty of infringement?
Slashdot Mirror
KHAAAAAN!
If watching porn resulted in children, slashdotters would multiply exponentially.
I'd say it's not even support or libraries, it's being actuallyinstalled at cheap webhosts. PHP is everywhere, python and ruby - not so much.

Not that I don't like the idea of ISPs doing that getting sued to hell, but are you saying that all proxy servers are illegal?
Redesigned audio - No more 96kHz output on SPDIF, 48kHz is enough for everyone.
There, you had a typo.
Try Launchy - Win+space-or-whatever catapult-style app.

the time warp/phasing cloak thing is more of a bug exploit than a proper design. It's a tad bit overpowered, even in the 1.40 patch.
Great, now add ten more ifs there and see how readable it becomes vs. the goto solution with ten more labels and gotos
try...catch is really great, but if you're using C++ instead of C, which does not have try..catch, you might as well use something with constructors/destructors that will do the allocation automatically
I could say more but I would be just repeating parts of your post...

Uh, what's so terribly flamebaitish about a post informing people that in some countries it is illegal to offer such a short warranty?
