Well, GP has a point, considering the RIAA has made the leap from "Pirating -> Computer" to "Father's Computer -> Daughter who doesn't live with father anymore", deciding to sue the cancer patient rather than the deadbeat dad.
Bullshit. If Warden failed to detect ANY bots, despite being intended to do so, does that make ALL bots circumvention programs?
Circumvention is an ACTION, requiring ACTION on the part of the bot. Otherwise Blizzard could have some debug comment: "This code is intended to prevent screenshots from stealing our copyrighted artz", followed by nothing. Then the Print Screen functions would be CIRCUMVENTING the "protection" by "not being detected".
Honestly, you really shouldn't dismiss something based on the fact you don't know anything about it.
I have not seen this movie, but I have heard great things about it. First, from my mom, who is apt to like any boring artsy foreign film (although I like a certain number of those myself). Then, from kids in my dorm. As in, frat kids. So, I really think you are wrong about the lack of appeal here.
As for Mumbai, it is an incredibly important port city with 13 million in population. It is the highest population city in the world, and has twice the population density of New York City.
With Firefox? Give an example please. The person who originally made that claim referenced an article that ONLY WORKED FOR INTERNET EXPLORER. So get some context before you insult me.
Eh? Not sure what parent's post had to do with politics, but might the median reader care about... well, median subjects that the leftist and rightist groups aren't interested in?

Yah know why? Because "Firefox doesn't let web sites access your clipboard directly. Flash does. The Flash guys consider it a feature, while the Firefox guys consider it a security hole in Flash"
The best solution in my opinion would be a fee payed to the recipient. I send you an email, and one cent. You reply and we are even. Even if I talk ALOT more then you, maybe I'm down a dollar a year. But suddenly the spam business model is destroyed (you cannot send 500,000 emails to make $20 of sales).
Two things to check: Hardware or software. Check your system logs for hardware problems - the hard drive error scenario was discussed above, but I've had a similar issue with a disk drive, where every second Windows would poll the device and get an error, causing slow halty performance.
For software causes, get GMER (http://www.gmer.net/index.php), this has a process list that gives precise kernel time used by each process, which gives you a good idea what is eating up your cp-ewe. If it is something more obvious, just start up taskmgr and sort by CPU usage and then memory usage and see if anything looks out of the ordinary.
I recently was having slow logon times and slightly sluggish performance. Didn't realize until I ran WireShark to debug a network issue that I had freenet running eating up resources/bandwidth (I'm behind NAT so I can't even help others by running a node so no point having it up when not in use).
In that case, if you want to apply the literal meaning, you would say the in-game drugs were sugar coated. The word play to begin with was witty, until it was ruined by the "literally" comment. I'd put it on par with throwing in "(look at the funny pun I made)", when in fact it isn't even a pun but a double entendre.
Incorrect. To literally sugarcoat means to coat with sugar. The alternative, to figuratively sugarcoat (i.e. the figure of speech) is to make appear more pleasant or acceptable.
What GP is saying is, the reason should have been more along the lines of "What the fuck are you doing, that is interstate commerce and totally out of your jurisdiction, you fucktard Governor!" instead of "Based on a minor ambiguity in definitions, we need the legislation to clarify whether they are going to let you do this... [trample on the property rights of out-of-state and international entities with no presence in KY]"

I have a hard time believing that with good 3G connections Google Maps loads fully / reloads for zoom in sub tenth-of-a-second time.
What? You live in Cuba, I live in the USA! How did your post reach me!?!?
I like that idea. Lightweight / fast booting versions can be called CigarillOS.

Good one, Country of Korea. Kinda like the Country of America!

Err, edit: the person who originally made that claim was... YOU. READ THE FUCKING THING YOU REFERENCED.
Try searching for "javascript clipboard functions" the first link gives an example.
You said this, did you not? Well, that first link gives an example that DOES NOT, I repeat DOES NOT work in Firefox.

That is cool, but does not resolve the issue of not having an XBox. $400 dollars + cost of USB tuner is alot more than $FREE.

Well, I think the use of "literally" is redundant at best, and probably ruins the joke (subtlety and all that).
But the article is about unnecessary hackary in the first place.
Incorrect.

Cool. Can you give me a link to the source tarball for this "Media Center", and schematics for an Xbox?
