I didn't click it. My name was suggested to a bunch of people I know, though. So, even though I'm not a "member" I come up as a possible member. I just didn't think it was nice of them.
I didn't click it out of luck, anyway, because I had no idea what buzz is when it came up and, if I was in an exploring mood, I'd just accept it to see what was that thing. Which is also not really nice. Had they mentioned it was like a twitter that uses my e-mail address, I'd say no everytime. But they certainly didn't phrase things like that.
It's not like you can't resolve a.xxx using a DNS different from the one which has it blocked. Heck, it could even be a web service. You open resolver.com, a site full with ads where you just paste the.xxx address and, in turn, get the IP. So.xxx is stupid no matter how you look at it.
Probably not, though. The latency is probably not that big. It's the army infrastructure, not a random counter-strike server, after all. Latency from US to europe over the internet can be as low as 50ms. Afghanistan is not that far from Europe, there's probably good infrastructure connecting europe to some place close to afghanistan. Overall, I think the latency should be reasonable.
I'd say he's pretty much the avarage PhD student. Anyhow, the good thing about a PhD dissertation is that nobody really cares about it anyway. When I got to college I thought I'd see science in the making if watched presentations by PhD students. What a disillusion... It felt like I was in a party watching some dude showing off, the only difference is that the PhD student will use graphs instead of drinking straight from a keg. You can almost hear the guy saying "please aprove me!"
Well, if I were a normal person and just read this summary, I would conclude that the group are "cyber-terrorists" who are in favor of drug use, rape, zoo sex and child abuse. In addition, by calling themselves Anonymous they're spoiling the concept of anonymity. I really don't think that this action was the best press possible either for the group or for those who are against censorship in general.
Another popular distribution, debian, did things right and its stable version, lenny, has kde 3.5. I recommend debian, I've been using it for years and I find it the best one out there. Unless you're one of those guys that absolutely must have the newest software available for whatever reason.
You try it, it doesn't feel right to you, you go back to the version that worked for you. Later on in your life you may try again and switch. What's the big deal?
I only upgrade my software for two reasons: missing features or curiosity. If the system is open to the world, I may upgrade due to security reasons when I see fit (that is, follow the important bugs, patches, etc). In any case I don't see a big deal with a version of the software sucking. If it's not open software, then you're locked in, you pretty much have to upgrade things when the author thinks you should; now, for open software, if a newer release suck, I'm sure the old one will still be maintained by other people, perhaps even myself. BTW, KDE probably wouldn't be installed in a server anyway.
Let's see how this "3D hype" goes. I remember when VR was the hype. It was the future of the game! Heck, the future period. I'm in the future, where's my virtual world where I can live a better life along with my virtual friends without ever leaving home? Where's that world of wonder where everything is possible and I'm a superman? Where's -- oh, wait, nevermind.
My bullies turned out to be right on many things he called me. I was being very stupid by following all the school rules. Aiming for good grades. Those things are worthless. If anything, the bullying I suffered opened my eyes to the world. The article gets it right when it tells the parent to help out their children to understand the world they live in. Punishing bullies would just be real dumb. BTW, D is a passing grade, so I'm sure he was happy to get them.
correlation doesn't mean causation is one of the most annoying memes in slashdot. Quit it already. Saying "correlation doesn't mean causation" is no proof or reasoning that indeed it doesn't for the case studied.
Google docs is sort like a web version of MS Word (or openoffice writer). I use google in Google Chrome and/or Mozilla Firefox. I think they provide far better experience than lynx. They are capable of rendering figures, have good support for a web scripting language (called javascript and, sometimes, ECMAscript; though nobody knows the difference) they even have capabilities to allow you to watch a video right off your browser. There are a lot of other nice features as well.
Even if the PS3 is hacked to run backups, it will still cost a fortune for Blueray discs, at over $5 a disc for the cheap brand, and over $200 for a burner. It just isn't worth it right now.
$5 per disc seems to me a very nice deal. If you burn 5 games you have already paid off the burner and the discs. A hardcore player will probably buy many more games than 5.
Who cares if human kind exists for more 70,000 years or 5,000? Do you really care about it? Or all you really want is to be able to explore new planets because it's freaking awesome? I don't care for how well the species go, after I die the world has pretty much ended anyway... I think it's very hard to be happy when your goal is for something impossible to happen: to live forever.
It seems to me that most editors jump to the current indent level when you press tab - or if not, they should. I can't imagine many people want tabs to really go eight spaces...
It's actually quite common, though. Linux' coding style text states that 8-spaces-wide tabs are the standard. It seems to me that it's also the way people work in OpenBSD's code as well. I personally like 8-space-wide tabs for C code. For C++ and Python I rather use 4 spaces because I feel there is usually more nesting in those languages.

They didn't lie to me, but they tricked me into making my email part of a social network.
I avoid it for the trolls that want to tell you what you should or shouldn't ask.

However, do you disagree? Why? I hope it's not because of this world you talk about.
Is that a sign that working isn't fun?
What registrar do you recommend instead?

The company said piracy affected sales, the price of video games, and employment in the video game industry.
And stealing from pirates affects the sales, price and employment in the piracy industry.
It's funny how IE always shows up first and, only then, they are randomly reodered (at least on firefox.)

The group doesn't care. They do it for the lulz.
Except that apple is probably much worse than MS when it comes to DRM. You can't even save certain files on iphone, or so I've heard.
Wow, a huge three years between games.
You guys never played Zelda, Metroid, Diablo or StarCraft, have you?
Wow, a huge 7 years between games. You never played duke nukem, have you?
