That only works if there is a surrounding <noscript>l tag, typically only used when NoScript is blocking JS on a page (otherwise noscript tags are ignored).
Or just dump the numbers and actually put some effort into new names (works for Nintendo, and I GUESS Microsoft sorta did it but they cheated by using a number to do it).
So it's like early third-party Steam apps that didn't integrate with the Steam DRM so you could copy the game folder right out of the SteamApps\common dir and it would still work.
When I was a kid I wished very hard that I would have the newest video games. Guess what? Just wishing for something doesn't make it true, in fact it makes things worse because you're not actually out doing anything about it.
Lots of users were using an old outdated buggy version of Skype, lots of client crashes at once bringing down big chunks of the P2P network, remaining network couldn't handle the load and went down too, took a while for Skype to put it's own supernodes up to help get the network self-sustaining again.
They're considering an auto-update feature now since such a feature could have kept this from happening. Personally I think old versions should be blocked from making or receiving calls too, so users would be encouraged to update (works for Team Fortress 2). Of course auto updates would make updating super easy anyway so impact from that would be minimal.
Ah, but users have been able to run Linux for most of that time. Jailbreaks started being introduced only AFTER Sony removed Linux... I don't recall hearing about attempts before then.
Via a firmware update, they could invalidate the keys for any new titles, while still allowing old titles to work via a whitelist. Thus anything new signed with the old key would be rejected.
Of course then you just create a loader that has a matching checksum to a legitimate title and the cat and mouse game continues.
So if I DON'T bring my cellphone to class, I fail? And the cheater next to me brings in two cellphones and only turns in one and uses the other one to cheat doesn't?
Not to mention a cellphone is a valuable thing which you don't want to just set down and walk away from. Even a classroom full of people would be hard-pressed to notice if a student doesn't bring in a phone but picks up "his" phone after the test, which happens to be an expensive model, and walks out of the classroom with it. The more people in the class, the easier this would be to pull off.
When the anomalies are highly unlikely -- their random occurrence, for example, is greater than one in one million -- Caveon flags the tests for further investigation by school administrators.
It does sound like they are acting responsibly and merely saying such marked tests need further scrutiny by the school, and only marking tests with a really low probability to be just lucky... but who knows what the individual schools do.
If you execute a program on your computer under a user account with access to your browser's profile directory, it will be able to install addons without your specific consent (because, as far as the computer is concerned, you gave it consent by running the program). Now you can deny your user account write access to the registry keys Firefox checks to load external addons; but at least one Microsoft installer aborts with a fatal error if you do that and rolls back the entire install process.
It is a lot faster. But don't take my word for it, try it out. You might want to use the Profile Manager (google for the launch option) to make a second profile so it doesn't try to convert your existing profile over to new formats and such.
The wormhole thing was supposed to play a big role in the Atlantis movie, so that was supposed to be a hint I guess. But it was still a weird decision to stick it in like that.
This might be a little more useful if a company could customize it to use internal servers rather than Google's, but as far as I've been able to tell, that option just doesn't exist.
Virtual Machines? I think you're thinking of "Chromoting" which I believe is a remote desktop-type feature.
I tried an HTML5 VNC client and it was as slow as molasses, though that's not a surprise because even on desktops I have found VNC to be slow. Hopefully Chrome Remoting will offer better performance.
I was indeed surprised once I realized that Goldeneye Wii was announced and GES was still kicking. I don't think Nintendo has been any friendlier to these types of things than other companies have in the past...
Unknown capacity? I checked the about:system logs, although I have a hard time reading them, it seems to indicate sda1 is 16gb in size. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Also I think I was able to get 720p; I'm not sure. But it's easy to check, I'm sure you can try lowering your desktop res and seeing if YouTube caps the resolution. But I doube it.

You could write it in something cross-platform and common, like Java, and trick people into opening the .jar file and running the program.
I thought plenty of ISPs DID do this already.

Lack of proofreading is still evident, such as typos that still manage to form valid but obviously incorrect words, etc.
No biggie, it's not like it's a round number so they can always up it to 58.

Fine by me.
Good riddance.
Addendum: I'm pretty sure there are packages that allow you to use your own servers, though everything I see there implies it's on Google's servers. :/
Ever heard of Google Apps?

Word processors that remember your name and fill in author metadata for you are sure helpful, aren't they?

that moving pictures in black and white with no sound were once considered impressive as well.
