People said the same things about electric fencing; it'll come in eventually if they ever want olympic boxing to be really considered as a 'valid' alternative to professional.
They're never going to be second largest, considering they own all the cable in the country.
They might not be a proovider at all in a couple of years though, the way their finances have been going..
Almost certainly it's harvested IPs from specific bittorrent files and gnutella clients etc.
Virgin simply don't have the money to be doing packet inspection, they don't have the hardware. All the crap they've been doing lately is just to get in the news in the hopes of either getting some investors or a buyer.
As it stands, the company and it's cable network seems set to collapse in a year or two, they're just bleeding money.
Can anyone recommend a (good) UK broadband supplier that doesn't intrude on your privacy then? With the way the competition laws work here, I could name you a few hundred. None of them, however, have access to Virgin's fibre network so its all going to be DSL.
Depressingly though, with the state Virgin's network is in, ADSL2+ actually offers better average speed for a lot of people..
This isn't actually true, it's just a bizarre myth propogated by the high schools for a reason noone can understand.
Most english universities these days much prefer 3 A Levels and something else you can put on your personal statement (voluntary work, that kind of stuff).
Paralympics. The special olympics are for the mentally handicapped, and while I'm sure they're very nice, have nowhere near the level of sports competition shown in the normal and paralympics.
So my understanding is that the Quadros are physically the same as the normal cards, but cost more and use drivers with specific additional features.
Do nVidia charge a lot for the Quadro branding, or include a contractual statement that vendors must charge extra for cards that identify as Quadros? Surely otherwise one of the fabbers would sell a version of the card that identifies as a quadro, but for a fraction of the price.
CoreAVC is incredibly fast; a machine which could barely handle 720p with libavcodec can probably manage two decode two 1080p videos at once.
It also tends to introduce a lot of artifacting errors, but if you couldn't play the video at all it's probably an improvement.
Personally I've just been confused as of late after installing Linux on this laptop. On windows libavcodec would decode 1080p h264 video no problem, but in linux mplayer fails miserably on 720p videos..
Every christmas the Royal Institute of Great Britain runs science lectures on TV targeted towards young children; I'm not sure if they've covered the big bang (I've not watched them for many years, afterall), but even if they haven't, they're a very good collection of lectures for children, and I highly recommend them.
Considering this, what company would/. folk suggest as the modern best choice for the Thinkpad's old market?
I'm planning to buy a new laptop in a while; I've got a CoreDuo Dell at the moment, which has actually served me very well, but I'd like something more durable and reliable this time.

Of course, the real problem comes when dojo destroyers come to challenge your entire office.
Seriously. We paid good money for that damned sign.
Trust me when I say you can come up with new curses faster than you can code them into an automatic censorship proram...
Nevermind all the fantastic new accents this is going to promote. And if you disagree; well quck you.
I know that editing a news site is a difficult job, but you might have wanted to start by looking up "news" in a dictionary.
You use a directional antenna and just wave it around until the output changes. Useful for finding all kinds of stuff.
That sounds like blatant libel.
The stupid girl should consider herself lucky for having it settled with a simple suspension rather than being taken to court.
Particularly since space elevators have to be on the equator...
Nice to see Slashdot presenting a story in a proper objective journalistic style as usual..
...you do realise that patents are public domain?

There are plenty of botnets that just scan and attack ip blocks. I'd imagine the frequency of attacks depends on country and whatnot.
We seem to get this article every few months, and there's never any scientific data to look at.
So, uh, enjoy your 400 posts of anecdotal evidence and personal opinion. Personally I reccomend pastel text on an ash grey background.
Surely all the have to do is start using a new key every so often, and the task becomes pointless?

Considering the A levels are graded on a curve, the percentage of As is hardly a good comparison point...

God, he wanted the original Macintosh to run off just a 5+1/4" disk, at least made it up to a 1.44MB 3+1/2 due to sensible people working under him.
And I've installed cygwin on Virtual PC on OSX x86 on Qemu on OSX PPC...
