Such as XSS attacks. If Google caches a page with XSS in the url (and it has done so in the past), the attack, which is simply JavaScript and not detectable by most antivirus software, can run in the background, retrieving information about the user or even opening up holes to later take over the user's computer.
People don't view "pages" of porn. They view graphics and videos. Each page might contain several dozen images. Then there are zip files full of images that are never displayed in the page itself and videos that only count as one file. A much better measurement would be the total size of all porn related files vs. the total filesize of the web.
Ah, ambiguity... `they` would refer to China... As to the rest of the world, well, for the most part, outside the US, people reverse the month and day in their dates (June 4th is written 4-6). In this case, the rest of the world is more or less everyone outside America (and apparently China)... Again, that's more or less... isn't ambiguity great?
That's a straw man argument. There's a difference between coding everything from scratch and including a ready-built class that can be easily customized for your specific application.
Sounds great for really large sites, but for the average developer, is it an improvement? Sure, if you're already coding the site in Java, it's a great tool. Still, I'd just as soon keep my existing AJAX class in an external JavaScript file and include it with 1 line of html. Customizing it for each site is quite fast, and it leaves me with full control. It's the same major complaint I have against ASP.NET: Why learn code to generate your code when you can cut out the middle man and write your own *exactly* how you want it?
I fail to see your point. A debate cannot be won without a definition of terms. If on a logical level, the study fails to support the claim, there is no point in continuing to evaluate the arguments. The case is not valid.
The study, valid as it was, entirely FAILS to support the conclusion that PRAYER does not help heart patients.
According to the study, people "were given written prayers and the first name and initial of the last name of the prayer subjects."
I'm sorry, but reciting written words does in no way constitute as PRAYER. According to dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=prayer), the closest definitions to prayer (as concerning this study) are:
1) A reverent petition made to God, a god, or another object of worship.
2) The act of making a reverent petition to God, a god, or another object of worship.
3) A fervent request.
The written prayers may have been elaborate, highly-poetic requests, but that does NOT make them reverent petitions. Even if the written prayers were reverent, they were NOT necessarily prayed reverently or fervently.
By definition, the study fails to support the conclusion.
This is by far the most pitiful attempt I've ever heard of to try to negate the power of prayer. It's a total mockery.
I'd think media companies (tv stations, movie producers, etc) would be thrilled for these. I don't know if they back up every broadcast they do, but I'd certainly think that would be neat if they could do so cost-efficiently (for 100 years down the road, to teach 21st century history using interactive video).
But imagine just 10 years down the road... Who knows what other new technology might be out? Compression would no longer be a big issue if you could fit 1.6 TB on a single hvd. After trying to fit everything to 700 Megs or 4.5-9 Gigs, that seems like a LOT of space, but if we had the ability to store 30-60x that much on a single disc, I'm sure we could find ways to produce content to store on them.
Even dvd's would become outdated in a matter of years. Remember the quality difference between a vhs tape and a dvd? Imagine that same difference between a dvd and a hvd... The reason 1.6 TB seems like so much space is we're judging it based on current standards. But with hvd's, our standards won't have as many limitations.
So now if I get kidnapped in the Middle East and get my passport stolen, they can track down the culprits! Yay! But wait -- what about ME? And here I thought they'd want me more than the bad guys:-/.
Is it just me or does it seem like everyone's trying to jump on the "popular topic" bandwagon?
Notice how the first half of the page is full of replies saying Microsoft's actions aren't "vigilante", then the second half is full of replies about why Microsoft should be able to get away with sending 18 million spam emails.
It seems interesting to me that if people are posting their own thoughts (and not just copying someone else's thoughts that they liked) that the two different topics aren't more evenly dispersed thorughout the page. Maybe it's just me.

4.4% is 88% of 5%, hence a 12% drop.

"rarer are spy planes having to land on enemy territory" I'd sure hope so!

That's what they get for not doing 4-6 (for June 4th) like the rest of the world...

It proves that no one has observed the sound it gave if someone had observed it.
Yeah, but after 10 weeks, a cat's lived a lot more of its life than a 10 week old baby has. Is this anything but logical????

Just think if it were Linux running on a 64-bit processor!
