When Quake hit I felt like I was pretty good at it for a few years. But the level of competition started ramping up due to the regional and then global competition pool.
Heh. I was good at Quake when everybody only had the *original* DOS Quake (with the mpath TCP/IP support) and a modem. You could feel the lag then, and I had gotten pretty good at manually compensating for the delay.
Then QuakeWorld came out, and then people got high speed Internet (as did I), and I've sucked ever since.
perhaps they should... only provide extensions registered on their site or something similar.
That's already done, but this malware bypasses that because it's executed elsewhere on the system (i.e. there's nothing Firefox could possibly do at this point).
I think this is a FF problem, just like with other SW that gets hacked.
That's either because you haven't bothered to inform yourself about the problem, or because you're trolling.
This malware had read-write access to C:\Program Files\Firefox. Nothing would have stopped it from disabling any signature-checking code that might have existed.
The Firefox extension trust model is as secure as SSL and the SHA-1 hash function.
It makes sense. IE6 is obviously a critical security vulnerability, and apparently it can't be fixed without IE7 (I doubt IE7 will actually "fix" the problem, but it'd be pretty hard to make the situation any worse at this point).
The sooner *any* versions of MSIE go away (even if they're only replaced with new versions), the better, IMHO.
People I know with amd64 only consider SuSE and Gentoo. Proof enough?
Um... no?
IA64 doesnt really count IMHO. amd64 is 64 bit processing made useful.
WTF? 64-bit processing has been "useful" for a long time. The fact that you didn't have the hardware doesn't mean it "doesn't really count". You talk as if Debian has never supported a 64-bit processor before, when in fact it has done so for years.
... or basketball, soccer, or any other countless things that kids "waste" their time doing? These things are arguably even detrimental: the kids could be learning a marketable trade instead of spending their time learning a skill that has little to no value in the real world.
I question the validity of any "science" that assumes that computer-gaming habits are inherently different from other things kids waste their time doing, without proper evidence-backed arguments supporting such differentiation.
They've lost a lot of share to other distros that have been able to adapt to 64-bit computing such as SuSE, RedHat, Ubuntu, Gentoo, etc.
Got any data to back up that claim? amd64 support barely missed the sarge release; People were using it then, not to mention that Debian has had support for "64-bit computing" for ages (e.g. alpha, ia64), just not the amd64 architecture.
I remember playing Monopoly with my siblings. At one point, we got tired to handing the paper money back and forth, so we each grabbed a cheap calculator, and used the "memory" feature to store our balances. It worked like a charm (or, rather, it worked very much unlike a charm, since charms have a tendency to do absolutely nothing but make the wearer look gullible)!
Some people say that it couldn't be secure, or that there's no way to implement it, but if they can do taxes online they can certainly do that.
It isn't secure. How do you prevent vote-selling with Internet voting? What about preventing DoS attacks against identifiable segments of voters? Corruption by election officials?
The fact that somebody else is doing Internet voting doesn't make it a good idea.
What's the thermal conductivity of the ground? Even though the overall temperature of the ground might be cooler than the air, the area around the buried pipes will just heat up and reduce your temperature differential. The poorer the thermal conductivity of the ground, the larger the apparatus needed to exploit the temperature differential.

You learned Perl during the dot-com era, didn't you?

The problem isn't with a ratings system, it's with an enforced ratings system. The government (and arguably, the retailers) shouldn't get involved.

No. You fill them with fuel. Like at a gas station.
Running units is faster than using Google, for some of us.

64-bit processing is a lot older than amd64.

Look at the last link I posted. The FSF maintains a list.
What is there to sensationalize? Either the story is a complete fabrication, or such a quota really exists, which is clearly idiotic.
In other words, Netcraft confirms that Debian is dying...

It's unlikely that that's possible, unless Ubuntu fizzles and dies, since Ubuntu is based on Debian and draws from Debian on an ongoing basis.
You clearly don't know what "free software" means (or you're trolling, but I doubt that). See here, here, here, and .
Yes, actually. Peanut butter, if possible.
+1 Funny? WTF?

It "doesn't sound right"? That's your argument?

I love ass-facts. In Canada, election days are not national holidays.
Heh. We'll have a dozen different TLDs for all of the different planetary colonies, and everybody will still be clamouring for .com domains.
