actually it is the fault of the labour party because of their "soft on crime, soft on the causes of crime" stuff that they are enacting all the time. A better question to consider would be why shouldn't we go out on the rob, if we get caught it'll be a little telling off and then back on the streets that night. Also, your not likely to get caught anyway, so lets not even worry about it at all.
This problem will never be solved until we can either;
1. increase the probability of getting caught
2. increase the punishment if someone is caught...
All I'm saying is, in Dubai they don't have this level of crime... but they do have a lot of police (including a lot under-cover so you never know if one is watching) and if they catch you stealing, they'll cut your hand off. Now that's justice - it punishes and reduces recidivism - try nicking an iPod with one hand ; )
I've been impressed with what I've heard about IE 7, it really seems like they are making some good moves with it finally. Being a Linux user I'll probably never see it but it seems that I wouldn't be that annoyed using it these days. IE will never be as good as Firefox because of the extensions, there just aren't that many good programmers who would be willing to give up their time to MS for free; so Firefox still has the edge.
I wish they would all get their act together and pass the ACID2 test though.
I'm a bit of a hermit too, I'm at uni aswell and don't really have any friends from my course. I really felt like a weird/wierd hermit the other day when I thought about the firends I had - I was struggling to name more than one who I didn't speak to exclusively online. Still, I suppose I live with my girlfriend so I kinda expect the whole contact with other people to drop away anyway...
I'll agree to some extent that this is good news, but my friend, 16khz is a lot of packages which will have to be squeezed through the current pipes which I recieve my internets through; so this will make the speed of internets go down to no faster than the standard post. Did you know the other day I got an internet which had been sent on Friday! *mubbles to self*...
well these people weren't the first to do this, nor will they be the last. I first read about this on the 15th of March, and the malware itself has been publically available since then... it's all in the register article, here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/15/rfid_tags_ infected_by_virus/
This is a comment stating my thoughts on the matter, and as such is a "thing of [my] own"
"it gets people like us who like firefox, and would secretly like to have their names in the code, to go out and really try to get other prople to use Firefox"
this might be the point of the article but it doesn't explicitly say this, and mentioning that I, like a lot of other people, would like this as something to say "hey, I'm on Firefox" is again my own thought; it is my no means a given.
"in a way that costs nothing for them (well, almost nothing)."
This is my judgement and again not mentioned on the site. "almost nothing" is implying that they might have to pay for bandwidth and a few other overheads, but again it is my judgement that this cost is so small that the project is acceptable on a cost/benifit basis.
"So everyone wins... I'm going to do it now."
Another value judgement by me and all my own thoughts. Saying I'm going to do it indicates that people will be willing to do it as a way of helping. I fail to see how you can say that this doesn't deserve any possitive moderation, even summary of the site is useful but as I have shown it went far beyond that and it was small enough to be read quickly; to keep people interested.

it doesn't seem like this is too bad a problem... still, it does show you I guess that Wikipedia can't always be trusted and maybe shouldn't be in a professional setting. Of course it might show that it is important to double check any source because nothing is infallible
From TFA: "Acquiring Nvidia drivers seldom entails more than consulting a package repository for your Linux distribution of choice, and instructing local package management facilities to fetch, build, and install all required files and dependencies."
Well, support for Nvidia isn't supported on FC5 because it is non-free, so you won't find it in the standard repositories using yum... if you add livna you can do "yum install kmod-nvidia -y" which will handle it all... but it is important not to use the Nvidia ones because they overwrite sections of your X and can cause problems, especially if you change you card later.

I'm considering doing a post-graduate degree (which is what I think your talking about), I have to agree with a previous poster, for me it would just be to get the letters MA to use after my name (whilst not feeling as silly as the people who use BA but not as good as the people who get phd). I have a year free so it's no real loss and I can probably get it for free. I don't think that it would be as valuable as a years experience in an internship, also, if your going to have to pay a lot for it then you'll need to look at how much more money you can make when compared to how much it'll cost...
Also, it's not just for the money you might make, it might be fun if you like that sort of thing.
in Russia it is legal under # 006/3M-05 of the Rightholders Federation for Collective Copyright Management of Works Used Interactively and legal in England under Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (c. 48) - section 22... on 1st September they might change the law in Russia (so I'm going to spend all my credit there before then).
You can find info about it, and links to the acts, on wikipedia.
yes, as far as I know, tinfoil does block the signals of RFID... so does a sheet of metal from my personal experience, which is why I keep on in my wallet with my RFID card.
I know that having your personal data stolen isn't any fun, it'll be worse if they put biometric data in there as well (I don't know what data the US passports currently have, in the UK we'll be having that put in soon). but for me a bigger concern is that they can be infected with a virus, which could quite easily be used to cause havok with the computers at airports and possibly bring the whole system down... the register reported on the proof of concept here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/15/rfid_tags_ infected_by_virus/
It's a good idea to recomend this, it does save money and the ability of a country to prosper has become bound up with it's ability to keep enough energy to do what it needs. I wonder if as well as energy efficiency we will see them pushing for non-fossil fuel methods of energy production on a large scale as well. I the UK a (slightly rigged) energy report suggested that alternative power and energy efficiency could provide great benifits, as well as Blair's pet project, lots og nuclear power.
I don't get why the bothered patenting this, they will not, and could not, use it. People would leave the company and it would die instantly. going round to a mates house "oh, I got this ace game, but my PS3 is too big to carry with me and it won't play on yours... but we can look at the box". Not only that second hand games are a great source of revenue (despite what some people think). Over the last 2 days I've traded in about 6 games and bought two new ones, one itself was second hand (metriod DS) the other was new (new mario DS). So nintendo has really won because they get a sale they otherwise wouldn't have had and when I eventually trade in metriod/mario I might buy another new game... the market keeps going. They might not make as much money because people aren't always buying from them, but for me, if I didn't do that they wouldn't have got anything. Besides, I'm now going to buy a Ninty Wifi adapter for my DS so I can play online (even though it doesn't work on linux) so they will get even more money.
I agree with you and the poster who you mention, however I would go further - showing violence between two people is always stupid - why have people fight at all, why make such a big deal of the skin colour of the people in the ad? why not just let the product speak for itself... I know people were saying about "oh, but it's become viral"... this has made me not like them one bit more (after the rootkit they are already at the lowest they can get in my view)
"All they want is the new Pokemon Digi-farm 2007 Gold Extra Special Photo Pack 12."
which is why they buy a DS. ; ) . I partly agree with you but they are shooting themselves in the foot with this one... people really are frightened of being called racist (I think that this has caused us to still see nothing but the colour and not the person). If it makes me seem racist would I buy a PSP, even if I did want one? it would make me think twice (well, it wouldn't, but it's part of my point). A lot of people are hyper sensitive on this issue... why not just have an ad with homosexuals in it, especially lesbians, thats shocking, people will keep watching, you don't have to be too shy about it... hardcore lesbian sex seems to be the answer!
you could use dillo, it's mentally fast and works well... it's not one of your fancy "la-de-da" browsers that will render things and it can't even take a stab at the ACID2 test... but thats they we love it.
Other than that you have;
spiphany
galeon
elinks
lynx
...to name a few. Don't get me wrong Firefox is a great browser and I wouldn't use anything else for day-to-day stuff, but there are plenty of options
what a small slap on the wrist which is small even by the standards that the EU set themselves, typical, the fine should have been over 1.8 bn euros if they'd done what they said (about 3m euros a day backdated to 2004)... why so small?
touche, but in my defence tv.com lied to me about how many there was of the original... also who would spend too long watching that when we all know Picard is the best captain any enterprise has ever had... infact the NCC-1701-D had the best all round crew, but I digress
what season are you missing... by my count there are 29 seasons of star trek... next you'll be saying that you have all the movies except the wrath of Khan!
