Wow. That's all I can say about that piece. Just wow...
First off, wasn't the Harry Potter spoiler clip in the middle of there taken from the Daily Show? (I could swear that's John Oliver's voice).
Second, the tool with the MySpace account--it's clear to anyone that has any idea about anything that he simply ended up with a virus/keylogger installed. "Anonymous" got his passwords from that and the virus got spread to his friends. Woooooh, that kinda shits been happening on the internet for forever now. He simply appears even more foolish for not having even that much of a clue (hell, my grandparents are aware that there are viruses and nasties out there).
What I find most disturbing about this is that if anyone sends Fox 11 an email/letter/phone call/whatever explaining to them how far off base their piece is, they'll just treat it all as threats that further back up their claim. Truly truly sad....
Chances are the old machines that don't have the resources to even handle a basic Firefox install are loaded down with tons of other crap anyway. I'm talking about system tray items for every app on the computer. And let's not forget, this was before automatic updates, so we can be fairly certain the machine isn't up-to-date patchwise. This means that there are probably god knows how many adware/spyware/viruses/trojans running in the background, too. In order for this lightweight version of Firefox to be truly useful, the machine should be thoroughly cleaned before installation.
Try listening to some bands that actually know what dynamics are and incorporate them into their music. The recordings I have of those bands tend not to be compressed (note: dynamic compression, not data compression) because the band wouldn't let the label release it like that. The other interesting thing is that these bands tend not to be on major labels, so you're not supporting the RIAA by buying their music.
Maybe the officials just, y'know, forgot where they put the voting record...I mean, it's really easy to do, what with that funny smelling haze always hanging over the city...

Come on... undocumented ls -af for "all files". That should of thrown all sorts of bs flags.
Hmmm, using the -bs flag just gives me some numbers before the file/directory listings...
Absolutely correct, but you forgot the part about the American corn farmers getting ridiculous government subsidies to produce a far inferior, more unhealthy sugar substitute.
I work at a place that still uses Office 2000, since there aren't any features in newer versions that we need (small office, small budget--a few grand to upgrade Office licenses would be better spent elsewhere). I installed the Office 2007 compatibility pack a few weeks ago when someone sent us some.docx files. Before installing it, I went through everything on the Microsoft site for it to make sure I didn't miss any necessary upgrades/updates to Office 2000 or anything.
Everything looked okay, so I installed the compatibility pack. It didn't work. I still couldn't open the.docx files. When I forced Word 2000 to open them, I just got a bunch of binary gibberish with page breaks here and there.
I wondered if I did something wrong, so I installed a fresh copy of WinXP in a VMWare image, updated it until there were no more updates, installed Office 2000 Professional, updated that until there weren't any more updates, then went and got the Office 2007 compatibility pack. Same results. I'm honestly wondering if they even tested it on Office 2000 before saying that it would work.
Anyone else out there have any luck using the compatibility pack with Office 2000?
If by "internal" you are also referring to every retail channel out there (also known as "stores"), then yes, it's an "internal-use" thing. Face it, it's a term that has a specific meaning that is used in many aspects of production and sales. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not a useful term.
it doesnt look naturally he's falling too fast, and when he lands, the way his body looks when he lands just doesnt look natural. looks as if he just fell 3 feet. his body should have crouched/sunk more.
Or there should be a hole in the ground with a dead-from-the-impact spiderman in it.
I'm amazed by how many people can't recognize a blatant advertisement when it's staring them in the face. It's not "like" an advertisement, it *is* an advertisement.
I would assume that I'd receive some sort of internal notification. However, I've also worked with a bunch of people who trash most internal messages without reading them first. I've witnessed co-workers being surprised to find out some big new days after everyone else who bothered to read their email did. I'm not saying that's what happened to your friend, but it does happen...
Does "in cash" really mean what I think it means? (Posting as AC, as I am too embarassed to admit I don't get this language as much as I thought I did)
No, it doesn't mean that they'll show up with a suitcase (or truck) full of bills. It simply means that the purchase will happen with currency of some sort (likely bank transfers and such), rather than paying for it with Google stock (the value of which fluctuates--well, it fluctuates moreso than hard currency).
Yes but why keep a format when other formats become more viable solutions the faults of the original format? UMDs suck because of wasted battery resources on spinning the disc, time wasted on loading, and whatever other faults it has.
So are you saying that Sony should release an update of the PSP that doesn't use UMDs, and thus is completely incompatible with the prior library? (Note that this is an update, and not a successor). And how about the people that have the older PSP? I know I'd be pissed off if they changed the format on which the games are available in the middle of the product's life. Frankly, it'd piss me off enough to turn me off from buying their products again.
You can now get 2GB MicroSD cards, which are absoloutely tiny
And how much did that 2GB MicroSD card cost when the PSP came out? Oh wait, they didn't make them at the time. You could get a 1GB MicroSD card for about a hundred bucks, though. Why didn't they just use those instead? Comparing what's available now to the materials available when the PSP was being developed/introduced indicates that you don't quite understand how this "flow of time" thing works.
Is this really even a story? As long as they continue to make and sell the PSP, the UMD disc is going to be made, too (note, we're not talking about UMD movies). Were you guys expecting them to suddenly release a PSP that uses a different format and is totally incompatible with all previous games out there? Didn't think so. So why is this a surprise?

If my memory serves me well, it was going to be called "Firefox".
Actually, it was called Phoenix.

It just means we'll have a bunch of slightly-more-social-than-usual autistic kids who speak with a robotic voice.
For a good dollar/fun ratio, try the classics.
The dollar/fun ratio becomes horrible when you factor in the cost of buying some friends to play with...

Yeah, I mean, it's not like Postini is touting the buyout on the front page of their website or anything...
Sorry, but it's getting to the point where "Google buys" stories just aren't informative anymore.
Just you wait until they launch their gBuy service...
Not that the Postini interface is horrible, but it could use more of the polish that Google brings to their apps.
I wasn't aware that Google outsourced their interface design to Poland...

And not to mention, consumers don't support it.
So I take it you're claiming that consumers aren't buying games to play on their PSPs either.
