Don't flash from within Windows (even if the utility says you can do it). Good advice, but some manufactures (*cough*Dell*cough*) now only distribute their BIOS flashers as Windows applications. (I guess Linux users are just stuck with an outdated BIOS.)
Better yet, when you burn a song onto a CD as an audio file, and then re-rip the song (as recently disclosed by Sony), then you get a clean copy.
How does that work? Burning and ripping are (generally speaking) lossless operations, aren't they? Why doesn't the burnt copy of the audio also have the watermark?
Why in the world was the parent modded offtopic? IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length. He was wondering if their use would eventually lead to CPUs with 128-bit native words. That seems ontopic enough for me.
Mod parent up. These days, if I design a website, I get it working in a modern, standards-compliant browser first. (Personally, I use Firefox, but like the parent said, it's certainly not the only choice.) Then and only then will I start putting in workarounds for browser bugs. (IE 6, I'm looking at you.)
Keep dreaming buddy. Mac OS X already has support for Java, Python, Ruby and many others. They don't need.NET, not even a little bit. No one really needs it. The only reason to use Java or.NET is to chase the pipe dream of write once, run everywhere. I beg to differ. I like C# for many reasons, but being WORA is not high on that list. In my opinion, C# and the.NET Framework simply give the best development experience available today. They do have many flaws and quirks, of course. (What programming languages/runtimes don't?) In the end, though, all languages may suck, but I think C# sucks less.
That's awesome, but most universities aren't that cool. It seems like the general trend is towards teaching languages, not programming, which kind of scares me. Knowledge of C++ or Java or C#, for example, will likely be worthless in ten years. On the other hand, a solid grasp of the fundamentals of computer science will last a very long time.
Now, I'm not saying that everyone who wants to program should first attain a professor's level of computer science knowledge. (I myself have almost no formal CS experience at the moment.) What I am saying is that a solid understanding of the behind-the-scenes issues in programming today will help greatly in the future, when C++ is dead and the Next Big Language is king.
Wow, a voice of reason! I couldn't agree more. As nice as it would be to have hard numbers about stuff like this, it just isn't possible. We can make an educated guess, but it's still just that: a guess.
I wish I had mod points to give you. Since I don't, this cheesy little "me too" post will have to do.:)
Are you sure about that? Look at Mozilla's main Firefox page. What's the tagline? Oh, "faster, more secure, & customizable". What's spelled out in big letters with a checkmark next to it? How about this:
Stay Secure on the Web
Firefox continues to lead the way in online security, and now includes active protection from online scams to keep you safer. I'd say they're still pumping the security angle in their marketing stuff.
Maybe, but many people mod humor as insightful, not funny. This probably has something to do with the fact that a funny mod doesn't add to a user's karma.
Slashdot Mirror
Inconceivable!
B-b-but this is Slashdot!

You've probably already tried this, but if not, try going into your Wii's settings and adjusting the Wiimote's sensitivity.
Same difference. (They are in Korea, after all.)

Sorry, but I'm fresh out of mod points. (OTOH, funny mods don't add to your karma, so this reply is almost as good.)

I agree. I won't believe the music industry is really dying until Netcraft confirms it.

What do you do to make a mirror? Well, first you'll need some glass...
IANAL, but everything I've ever read about fair use makes it pretty clear that wholesale copying is *not* allowed.

That's quite interesting, Mr. Smith.
I think you misspelled "Debian".
That's all well and good, but what if you can't trust your assembler?
Indeed. Personally, I heartily welcome the poster below me.
I second that. I run Tomato on my WRT54GSv2.1 at home, and it really does rock. You'll never want to go back to the stock Linksys firmware.
Why not? It's always so much fun!
Woosh!
Because of course God couldn't have inspired man to work on scientific research...
