Any university that installs that has a problem. University networks are constantly "played with" by students, so the IT department has to be on the ball. Any dumb enough to install this probably have had many student hacks already...
Just imagine how fast the internet would be if there were no content to view. After P2Ps gone, get rid of all these freeloading websites, emails, etc. and it will be blisteringly fast.
We don't have thanksgiving, this refers to Christmas. I am sure most of the DVDs, etc. expected to sell at Christmas are already produced so it is still an impossible target.
It used to be the children's tax relief. Someone decided that it would be "better to pay it to the mothers" rather than just reduce the father's tax bill. (yes they really do think in these sexist terms, as a single dad I had lots of explaining to do before I could claim).
I am trying it now. Whereas in 2.x if you typed a URL starting "news" it would list all url's starting like that, 3.0 now lists all urls with "news" anywhere in the URL or title. It takes longer to find the completion you usually want.
Of course a monitor against corruption is the ideal position to be in if you want to receive bribes. As soon as you discover a bribe you can report it or ask for a cut.
Transformers tend to be inefficient when drawing very low currents (or zero current, a plugged in mobile phone charger uses power when the phone is not attached), so using mains to run standby functionality will use more power in total that charging a capacitor when the device is on.
Have you ever been in a waiting room with the usual set of old magazines. None of them seems particularly interesting. Then someone comes into a room and takes a magazine and starts reading it. Suddenly that magazine becomes very interesting, you might try to read some headlines over their shoulders if you can. I am not the only person who experiences this, frequently after I put down a magazine I took at random a couple of people will reach for it.
It is just as likely that rather than the blue M&M being downgraded the green one becomes upgraded because we all want what we can't have at the moment!
Exactly. In the parent posts example, if someone took a grade book and changed a grade for money, should the sentence be higher if they took it from a teacher's bag that also held credit cards and account details which the student did not touch?
I would assume that the BBC did not invent its own method of measuring web traffic, but uses some package or service. If this got the number of Linux users so drastically wrong, how many other site's estimates of Linux users incorrect too? Could a lot more people be using Linux than we are told?
If you take this argument to the extreme and wikipedia becomes the sum of all knowledge then it will become unwieldy. If I hear someone say "George McGovern said something like that" and I don't know who they are referring to I would like a concise list of possibilities, not "George McGovern , purveyor of finest smoked haddock" and "George McGovern, Bogville's crossowrd champion 1997".
It could be like Zero, the computer in Rollerball: He considers everything.
He's become so ambiguous now,
Actually blowdart has a good point, though it could have been put better. In all communities there are people who are well known within that community, but not outside. I am sure there are famous wine-tasters, pigeon breeders, slashdot posters, golf-course designers, tidley-winks players well known within their circles. Also many towns will have worthy and locally well-known charity workers, musicians, etc. Most of these will not warrant a wikipedia entry. The problem is that many people do not have a global perspective and will create articles for them. This is why review and deletion is necessary, and some people will be upset.
An example I know of is Stephen Knapp who is well known among followers of Vedanta but has a notice that the article may be subject to deletion on notability guidelines. This may be the right decision as I am not sure whether he is known much outside this special interest circle.
All these contents are prohibited to robots (via robots.txt), which means Google can't even index them. Thus, no matter how great Google's search algorithm is, it will be almost impossible to match Naver's quality.
This could be the beginning of a slippery slope. Suppose Google responded by ignoring robots.txt files in Korea and protecting orkut, blogger and its own sites with robots.txt files that it does not obey itself. Up until now there has been an unwritten rule - something protected by robots.txt won't be indexed by any public search engine. The possible side-effect of breaking this rule is that robots.txt files are ignored, which can be a real pain for small scale interactive sites.
I agree. I use odt format exclusively myself and to anyone who can accept it, but if I am sending an editable document to most organisations I will send a.doc file. Often I want a document that they cannot modify easily, so I send a PDF. This is especially useful when sending a CV (resume) to bureaus, they really like to mess them up before sending them out to clients!

what we need is a porn star with a Mickey Mouse tattoo clearly visible in a video.
can I volunteer to do some research!

It is the GSM international emergency number, and the European emergency number. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-1-2

When they have spent so much tat on networked systems why did they post everything on a couple of DVDs?

But a guinea was 21 shillings = 105 new pence, not 120

Watch out if you switch to a diesel. "I was only doing 4500rpm officer" might not cut it.
I would order one in an instant!

So the over-50's were never drink-addled undergrads? Does this mean I'm not going to make it to 50?
No, you'll just have a missing year. It will never have happened.
Actually I think they stole it form the HAM operators that were using this technology in their garages long before WiFi became the standard
If this is true and any of the HAMs have records then it could be prior art.

By then you'll be downloading in HD Video 360 degree IMAX. Just imagine, you'll be surrounded by the bitches!
