William "IllWill" Genovese, 29, will serve three years of supervised release following his prison term, during which he'll be subject to electronic monitoring through special software installed on his computer, under the terms handed down by federal Judge William Pauley in New York.
I live in Taxachusetts and I believe Senator Kennedy needs to go. He claims to be an envirommentalist but opposes any enviromnental issues proposed in this state, particularly the Nantucket Sound wind farm proposal. His reason? It'd be unsightly when he's cruising in his yacht. I kid thee not.
The wind farm would have been six miles offshore and it would have been a great move - a baby step toward decreasing dependence on foreign oil while at the same time providing a great habitat for shellfish.
TO get them to work I could downgrade to XFree86 (ugh!) and run Gatos, and STILL not get MythTV, or I can fiddle with Xorg 6.9 (it's slow and unoptimized at this point) and STILL not get MythTV, or I can continue running Xorg 6.8.2 with its high frame rates, using the AiW cards purely as video cards and eventually break down to buy Hauppauge cards.
Oh, tell ya what! If your Hauppauge card is a PVR250 or PVR350, I'll trade you an AiW 8500DV card for it. That is, if you can get the ATI hardware working.
I agree. Starting with MSIE 4.0, I switched from Netscape to MSIE and used it until Firefox became stable (I never did grow to like Opera all that much - I use it for testing and that's about it). Microsoft got a lot of things right in MSIE 4.0, including memory footprint and performance (relative to Netscape). Netscape focused more on bundling, adding more features unrelated to web browsing, and gradually became more and more unstable. Look at Netscape 5 (or, really, download the source and compile what would have been Netscape 5. I think someone did make a binary available at one point). I'd sooner have run Mosaic than that pig of a browser.
Opening up the source for Netscape was a brilliant move - from a technology perspective. That's not to say that Firefox does not have its faults (if you have many collapsible DIVs in a single page for example, e.g., the ASSP interface, it slows to a crawl, plus it eats memory like mad) but from a standards compliance perspective, while it is not perfect, it is a heck of a lot better than MSIE.
Aside from (which is still supported by Mozilla/Firefox/etc. and people still USE when plain static text is more appropriate?!!) what taks did Netscape support that MSIE did not?
It's really the other way around. Microsoft tried to hijack the web by introducing a lot of MSIE-centric tags and making those features VERY accessible - nay, desirable - to most so-called "web designers/web developers" in Frontpage. Marquee anyone?
Due to undesirables on that there interweb, your computer is at risk. Windows XP, we have recently discovered(*), is insecure, and attracts those who would steal your identity and credit information to purchase items and supplies used to engage in terrorist activities.

Buy Windows Vista today. After all, you're not a terrorist. . . are you?

No, Wikipedia is more like anarchy, where any one person can shout over anyone else, overwhelming the majority with rhetoric. Any one person can modify any entry on Wikipedia. It has its pros and its cons. Unfortunately this sort of thing where politicians (Scumbag politicians of BOTH extremes) use Wikipedia to mislead voters who might want to research voting records and positions on issues. The ultimate result of this will be that the greatest stregth of Wikipedia - peer editing - will be lost forever, just because a few assholes abuse it for their own personal gain.

Hmm, on more searching Police Academy 7 was made, making the one currently in production Police Academy 8. I've never seen 7. If it's so bad that it's never even on cable, it has got to be pretty bad (hell, even Son of The Mask gets airtime on cable!) I never even knew that movie (Police Academy 7) existed.
And George Gaynes? He's 89 years old! I doubt he'd be a police commissioner/commandant/whatever. Uhh, I liked the first two, 3 and 4 were OK to watch when nothing else was on, but 5 and 6 I watched out of sheer morbid curiousity. Now they're producing a seventh? Well I might go see it as a lark. It's bound to be better than most movies have been lately.
Apple is an innovater, but cannot provide its products affordably.
You misspelled "will not" as "cannot" in your post.;) However with the Mac Mini that has changed, actually. The rest of their desktops are a bit overpriced for what you get, but you need to consider the market they're going after. They're not going after the Joe Sixpack cheapskate $299 piece of shit PC that dies 1 day after the 90-day warranty mentality.
Well, see, when the aforementioned fatty (offense intended, even I could lose weight myself seeing that I'm 40lbs over my ideal weight due to long work weeks in front of the shiny:( ) mashes her thumb over the buttons, they'll be placed too closely together so when fatty goes to squash "shit no" the touch screen will actually register "yes, I cast my vote for this moron"
Perhaps speech recognition for "yes" or "Si" would work, but see, I don't think speech recognition will work when fatty is chewing her cud, er, I mean, McDonalds French Fries.
while the second group looks at it blankly and says shit like "Well, that's good 'cause computers don't make mistakes, right?"
In 2008 people in Florida will be whining "The ballot was too confusing, I didn't realize I was supposed to touch the NAME on the touch screen. Can we get the butterfly ballots back?" or in an alternate scenario: "The touch screen disciminates against us fatties. I meant to hit Republicrat but my fat finger pressed both Republicrat and independent so I want my vote back! I demand a recount!"
{ And even if you make it past the operating system hurdle, remember that Microsoft has a stronghold on applications (through software developers only releasing applications for Windows), document formats and the Internet.

And once you make it past the operating system hurdle, remember that although Microsoft has in the past held a stranglehold on applications, programs like OpenOffice, Firefox, kongueror, document formats, and internet applications in general just plain work better. And heck, the OpenOffice.org suite and even KOffice allow for exporting to PDF - natively, at that!
I don't need to go running everywhere to download new codecs every two weeks just to be able to watch videos on CNN, FAUX News, etc. One browser plugin (mplayer) handles every video format I can throw at it. I'm impressed at how far Linux has come in that respect!
DRM? Media producers can lock customers out of media at their own peril - because when they lock customers out and don't offer free/OSS Linux apps for viewing/listening to media, they will cease being paying customers and will instead look to alternate sources for content. Treat customers like a criminal as a paying customer, then those then-former customers will become criminals (e.g., download movies, music, etc.) and you will never get another dime from them. Eventually "piracy" really WILL lead to measurable losses (rather than obvious gains in sales) and you'll eventually tank, and new media producers who actually embrace technology will rise and take your place, in a more consumer-friendly fashion.

Hmm, jumped the gun, now that I RTFA again. It seems this "leaked" build includes page zooming, where released builds do not, plus a couple of toolbar icons have been updated to be more flashy. Sorry, my bad. This is definitely earth-shattering news that will change our computing world.

· Score: 5, Insightful
Last I checked, MSIE 7 is available via MSDN subscriptions, Action Pack subscriptions, and even Microsoft's own web site . It's not like anyone outside of M$ has not seen MSIE 7.0 already. So a single build got leaked a little early -- this is a) nothing unusual and b) not anything significantly different from what was previously made available through legitimate. This strikes me as: "Oh boy, screenshots of a beta everyone has been able to download for months. Oh wait, this is DIFFERENT because the build number in help-> about is different."
Now if the SOURCE were leaked, that would actually be something newsworthy.
Uh, how can my post mentioning Scalix (mentioned nowhere else in the thread) and Exchange/Spamassasin integration (again, not mentioned elsewhere in the thread) be redundant? It can't be marked redundant based on plagarism either, because I did not copy & paste the content from anywhere.
Asshat.
I guess this means the v1@gra, C1alis, and junk stock of the day emails my users get every day isn't spam then!
Yes I know, there is a spamassassin sink for Exchange, but it's an ugly hack due to the way Exchange works. Spam is the primary reason I'm dumping Exchange when the next version of Scalix is released. If we didn't need group scheduling, I'd have dumped Exchange for Postfix months ago.
Small amounts of natural uranium are ingested and inhaled by everyone every day. It has been estimated (UNSCEAR 2000) that the average person ingests 1.3 g (1 g = 1 microgram = 0.000001g) (0.033 Bq) of uranium per day, corresponding to an annual intake of 11.6 Bq. . It has also been estimated that the average person inhales 0.6 g (15 mBq) every year. Typically, the average person will receive a dose of less than 1 Sv per year from ingestion and inhalation of uranium. In addition, an average individual will receive a dose of about 120 Sv per year from ingestion and inhalation of decay products of uranium, such as Ra-226 and its progeny in water, Rn-222 in homes and Po-210 in cigarette smoke.
Of course since that uranium is usually in the form of uranium oxide and other ores, where there are very nearly always trace amounts of plutonium present, when you ingest or inhale these trace amounts at least a tiny percentage of that will be a plutonium atom or three.

How is it legal? They copied and distributed a copyrighted AND copy protected work without the copyright holder's express written consent.

They ought to have waited until the DVD hit the shelves to buy those 30 copies they wanted to distributed.
In the meantime, I will start downloading movies from Bittorrent. If the MPAA cries foul all I need to do is point at this story.
