This sort of thing is already in anti-virus software. I use Avast! (free edition) and it has a "Web Shield" module (sounds a look like "Browser Shield", doesn't it?) that transparently proxies web traffic. When it finds anything nasty it pops up dialog box asking you if you want to download/access it anyway or "abort connection".
While this is all well and fine, would it be too much for Microsoft to just patch their bugs?

Overheads and latency screw this idea over. I'll just use my own CPU, RAM, GPU and disk, thank you very much. And then why I crash or bog down my system doing something stupid I don't have a bunch of other users screaming at me.
I hate real because they made the software that people use to encode videos in unwatchably low resolutions and bitrates. I know this isn't really their fault but I'm going to blame them anyway because their software sucks and pisses me off.
Ok, great, so having lots of tabs open uses lots of memory to cache all those pages and some history... but why doesn't that memory get freed when those tabs get closed? Just now I had about 16 tabs open and FF was using 58MB (up from about 40 before opening some of them). I closed half those tabs and the VM size is 54MB.
I'm waiting for vv-gaim to be merged with gaim proper... in the meantime aMSN does my video chat and teamspeak does my "conference calls" (admittedly mostly while playing WoW but I play with RL friends and we use teamspeak to plan for LANs, talk about assignments etc).
Maybe, but here dentists are in short supply - my dentist is booked out till October! As long as it works and doesn't have any nasty side effects I'm sure they'd welcome it with open arms - it's the public that might not like it, just like they don't like flouride.
It's certainly true that the current laws are curious. Even the most softcore porn featuring a 17 year old is illegal, yet incredibly hardcore material from the follow day that she turned 18 is legal... Strange.
Well, you have to draw the line somewhere. That's where we draw the line.
I had no trouble getting my Netgear WG311 or my Linksys WMP54G to work under Gentoo using ndiswrapper. Even x86_64. In fact, the Netgear worked notably better under linux than with windows.
WLAN drivers just plain suck, under windows or linux. The only ones I havn't had trouble with in windows are Cisco, and at those prices they had better damm well work! At least with linux you have tools like lspci and you don't have to wrestle with useless buggy "Client utilities" and such. I'm usually a Windows/GUI guy but wifi is one area where you can give me a linux CLI any day.
HL2, COD(2), DoW, NFS, FarCry, Halo, FEAR etc...
Yeah, games are that important to me. Especially since it costs an absolute assload to get a mac with a decent graphics card, I'll stick with my PC thank you.
Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router and Notebook Network Card
Yeah that's a great product I use every day... wait I've never heard of it before. I thought we learnt not to produce products before the standards are finalised from the last Wi-Fi fiasco...
If you watch the product placement in The Island, you can see this is exactly where they see themselves as going. The guy makes a call on his videophone/TV and it has Cisco all over it.
Agreed on the phones too, they stomp all over NEC VoIP phones.
We're to believe that not only has the U.S. military trained dolphins to attack divers Not entirely sure I believe it, but I'd heard it before - from my boss, who is ex-navy.
Out of many thousands of miles of U.S. coastline, they picked New Orleans, which is below sea level and prone to flooding; Well, so did a lot of other people...
They were not smart enough to evacuate these valuable and dangerous animals before the hurricane; See previous point
They didn't bother to remove the weapons from the animals; The dolphins are the weapons. They didn't bother to move them so why would they bother to dismantle them?
They didn't even think to UNLOAD the weapons. Apparently, these dolphins swim around fully armed, 24-7! Maybe I'm missing something, but that makes sense to me...

"Earlier this year" is vague. A few weeks ago is earlier this year...

Two knocks! Double yes!
As a student having recently turned 18 I can answer your question: fuck no.
Swearing in front of a teacher? That'd get you a detention at worst, and only if the teacher is in a bad mood...
Another vote for the cable, I've seen it before and I'm sure I'll see it again. Just go DVI ;)

Sounds like a nice idea, but who really has that much bandwidth?
I love Gaim, only thing I really want is an easier way to unblock people. Voice/video support would be nice but I can live.
You can't really complain about bugs if you're not gonna submit a bug report, or at least check if one already exists.

It does. It's the profanity filter setting, under Interface Options.
Now also tied to the "bouncyness" of night-elf females. No kidding.
