Why is this such a big deal for law enforcement? They should have to get a court order to view this information, and I don't see that being a big deal if they're actively pursuing an investigation.
I've used it before and it increased cognition considerably, especially when I was tired and figured I'd have a wasteful night of studying. If I have less than 8 hours sleep, I have difficulty focusing on a single source at one time, and studying is impossible. Ritalin has helped me micro-focus, and not just cram for exams but actually learn topics. If I had a steady source of Ritalin, or a doctor that 'played ball', I might consider experimenting with it more often.
Here in Canada, the BSA does indeed enforce their "right" to audit you, and I've seen a couple business sites fall victim to a police accompanied audit.
I have a client that was recently nailed by the BSA for having illegitimate copies of Autocad, because they purchased them online through various Ebay auctions (they only needed 2005 LT, not the latest and greatest, expensive version). The BSA deemed their less than 10 copies to be illegal, and nailed them with a hefty fine. My client wanted to avoid a legal battle, so they settled and paid this fine.
That being said, does anyone know what the laws are in Canada regarding reselling retail, boxed Autocad, and if my client had a foot to stand on?
Haha, man, I'd mod you up if I had the points. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the same and I'm sure you could attribute the wide-eyed naivety to a youngster who hasn't been out in the real world, let alone constructed proper sentences. "...the software giants seems to be not even trying." "In fact, even most Microsoft web sites..." Classic.
I'll never adopt Silverlight, or at least I'll wait until the bitter end (probably like I did with Macromedia Flash), mainly because I'm sick and tired of seeing their obtrusive "Install Silverlight" popup that you're forced to view every time you go onto their web site with Internet Explorer. That alone makes me hate it, and raises my... annoyance with Microsoft.
Great. Now that Godwin's Law has experienced a buffer overflow, what the hell does that have to do with China?
Would the USA have allowed Nazi Germany to host the Olympic games? I DON'T THINK SO.
Azureus also has an excellent scheduling plugin written for it - http://students.cs.byu.edu/~djsmith/azureus/index.php
I don't know about other bittorrent clients, but uTorrent lets you set download speed caps by hour(like 0 during the day and unlimited at night).
You can't see any evidence that the Vancouver incident was handled inappropriately?!
For anyone else that needs a refresher -
http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/277038 , the incident involving a Polish man who was detained for 10 hours and immediately tased to death when the cops appeared.
What's inappropriate is that four athletic looking, young police officers didn't attempt to calm or subdue this man, and immediately tased him to death.
Thus far, I've yet to see any evidence--including the immigrant in Vancouver--where any inappropriate actions took place.
It's the socialeconomic structure that's broken, mostly because it *requires* penniless and poor and impoverished people in order to work. ... isn't that how they get out of being penniless and poor?
Well, it makes it considerably better. It seems far more nefarious to be perpetrating these acts against paying customers in secrecy, than doing it in the open. You know exactly what you're paying for, when it comes to this guy...
So it's all right what he's doing, as long as he's honest about it?
Finally a company is honest enough to admit that net neutrality doesn't exist. Here in Canada, almost every ISP is throttling torrents, throttling DSL 'nodes', circumventing advertisements for their own, prioritizing certain web pages, and worse. This is rarely publicized until some intelligent people discover it and bring it to light and since there's no rules or laws, it's perfectly acceptable by everyone but the consumer.
I agree!
So only 2% of developers have dark colored skin? BIG DEAL!
I don't want to read one more article about how african american people are under represented in this, that, or the other.
I agree completely. The US has so many problems with race, because they seem pay so much specific attention to racial differences and continually bring up 'problems' or 'insight' into these differences. It's especially amusing when groups that don't belong to these minorities are the ones discussing these 'issues'.
Who cares?
I couldn't agree more. Our company builds Exchange servers (single and clusters) for clients ranging from small business to large corporations, and after initial install we rarely have any post installation administration requests. We build our servers, install them, and they happily run for years.
I have no idea what that analogy you're jabbering on about has to do with anything, but you should try to find someone with experience to build your servers rather than whatever paper MCSE you have running the show.
While I'd love to see a good open source alternative that can do everything Exchange can do, as well as it does it, but I've found Exchange a treat to work with since 5.5.
Wow, if you're having that many problems with Exchange, your sysadmins need to do a better job.
Except when it's a daily grind... the original article didn't state whether or not these were new players, casual players or diehard players. I've smashed many keyboards and mice, angry because my mob was stolen, or a raid was blown, or various other reasons. The first month or so of WoW'ing was an enjoyable romp, exploring a new world. After settling in and learning the game, I often became stressed and frustrated and less happier than I was prior to playing.
This just in...leisure reduces stress!
Exactly! And as an OEM I can tell you that the majority of home buyers are shopping solely on price, and don't care about the quality of the parts. These days, your average PC buyer considers the PC to have a 3 year disposable cycle.
I think the point is that those were the old Dell commercials. If you look at ones today, they're all about price. Features and price, admittedly, but price is the biggest thing.
You make a valid point that I can't dispute... but you're mistaken about what I understand and don't understand. I agree that I'm guilty of generalizing, and I can't help but target the religion based on personal experiences and public information, just as I'm often guilty of generalizing Chinese people based on personal experiences. My generalizing is not limited to religion.
What you're not understanding is that challenging free speech, altering laws and habits, and coercing others into obedience is very decidedly not a religious trait. It is a trait of all power-hungry corrupt leaders and nations. Look at Soviet Russia and China, both are extremely guilty of all of the above, and both are atheist nations. Do not target the religion, when it is corrupt leaders who are using it as an excuse for their own goals.
Ah, okay, I must have missed that December announcement and from my point of view, it seemed like new news as the 'internet', Slashdot front page and IRC was buzzing about it. In fact, I'd seen the link to "IE8 Passes Acid2" pasted to IRC at least ten times a few weeks back... and then "IE8 Fails Acid3" a few days later.
Ah well, I guess I'll put my tin foil hat back on.
The IE team announced their internal IE8 build passed Acid2 in mid-December. Acid3 was released March 3. IE8's first public beta went out on March 5.
I don't live in America, smartass.
Get out of homogeneous-culture America for a second.
That's amusing. My eastern muslim friends chide me (and truthfully believe) that my media reporting is funded by a great Jewish power. Actually, it might surprise you to know that my TV doesn't just tune into CNN, BBC and CBC news, but also Al-Jazeera and Alalam. I'm as far from homogeneous-culture America as you can be.
Once you get out of your sheltered Christian-biased media reporting, you will realize quickly that Islam is in many ways just like Christianity. There are the majority of believers who by most definitions are not devout, and born/educated into the religion. Then there are the vocal fundamentalist few. And within *those* are the crazies who will kill, maim, and destroy for the religion.
And just like Christianity, Islam is most often abused for money and power, not for some real religious reason. I agree with that, and realize the difference between extremists and moderates. However, I still remain fearful of the increasing speed that this religion is overtaking other societies in challenging free speech, attempting to alter laws and habits, trying to coerce others to follow, and worst of all, challenging scientific fact.

Please cite examples of uTorrent using 50% less CPU load than Azureus. And please, not 'omg lawl' forum posts by uTorrent fanboys.

Are you including the comprehensive ports tree?
OMG, I can't wait, only 8 more days until I can patch my system with SP3! So exciting... patches... wooo!!!
