http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DUMP has all the info on downloading wikipedia. A.bz2 of the.xml for articles (no talk pages) is 1,5 GB; while all pages, talk and history is a snip at 45,9 GB.
It's an important point, and kind of answers a lot of the questions posed in the rest of the thread: the RIAA can't sue again with the same allegations.
Well, I suppose it's not like they've got a reputation to protect...
Though to be fair people will have a go at MS if it's late OR if it has bugs, so they can't win. That said, either way people will be forced to use it.
No need for the m// and spaces should be escaped to avoid it looking in lots of places.
Click "Advanced search" and it says "Find results with the regular expression...". Admittedly, I'd like to use regex for all my google searches (not just code), but I think that may be a bit much to ask, even from Google.
I also like the search by license, but it would be nice to have a search for "Any OSI-certified code".
Always chack for the CDDA logo when buying CDs, as if they follow the CDDA standard it won't b0rk up when playing on older players or your PC. Also disable autorun, unless you like their crap hidden in your PC.
I'm no fan of the RIAA, but that's not quite accutrate.
The RIAA did not make this money, the RIAA members did (a small distinction)
Also, RIAA members sold $3.7 million of music video. Some of this (quite a lot, I imagine) is eaten up in making the music videos (or recording the album). It's not all profit.
That said, the record labels still make quite a lot of money
I was watching an old (1946) information film about democracy and despotism , and it is scary that some of the indicators that they mention about a contry heading to despotism are coming true.
scary
Your manager will love the new "helpful" ribbon system. And soon as the salesperson comes showing them the wonderful features. "It highlights the tools you need" and "it lets you change the graph styles really easily"!... sold!
I use ClamAV when I'm on windows, but I find it's quite slow to do a scan compared to the other propriotory (read symantic) AVs.
ClamAV also lacks (I think) "real-time" protection, whatever that means. Of course this "real time" protection makes your PC go slower all the time.
I'm also not sure how good the scan is on ClamAV for viruses that hide themselves. While ClamAV won't put a rootkit on your PC (unlike the propriotory model), I'm not sure if it'd pick up a virus hidden in one or in the BIOS or something.
Of course ClamAV is FREE, which is important considering how much the alternatives are.
Finally, by far the best protection is education, at least with viruses. Don't trust anything on the net, don't just click yes, blah blah.... That's worth at least 100 AVs
It requires you to provide a key - if it is reasonable to assume you have it - to decrypt encrypted data. It is only illegal to refuse to give a key IF ASKED, and NOT "look up their name in the government encryption key database, find out that no, they did not provide their encryption key to , and take them directly to jail."
It IS an offense (from the legal text liked above) "if he knowingly fails, in accordance with the notice, to make the disclosure required by virtue of the giving of the notice."
From TA, it's HM Customs and Excise in the UK - who can legally look through any stuff coming into the UK. They're well within their rights - there's no 4th ammendment here.
It's an initutive together with FACT, which is our slightly more polite version of the RIAA. Again, it's not the first time companies have helped the government against illegal activity, and there's nothing suspicious about it.
Actually there's quite a lot of legit region 1 dvds coming into this country, as our dvds are even more expenseive than yours! Madness.
It's nice to note how different the Google Pages and Yahoo Geocities Terms are,
Google's ToS:
"you grant Google a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, adapt and publish such Content on Google services solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting Google services. This license terminates when such Content is removed from the Google service to which you originally submitted."
Yahoo's ToS:
"the perpetual, irrevocable and fully
sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish,
translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in
part) and to incorporate such Content into other works in any format or
medium now known or later developed"

Yet it's always those most in need of a good killing that always seem to avoid it... *sigh*
Or you could just create a different profile in Firefox. Open with "firefox -ProfileManager".
For added security, you can make the icon you open firefox with as the "safe" "firefox -P default".
It also makes it marginally safer too as cookies and stuff are seperated for different profiles.

Ah, but it DOES uses RegEx

I saw that earlier, and was wondering what caused it. Did everyone finally break the internet?!

For "regular users" read managers.

It's all marketing.

The law - which is here:

From http://kb.mozillazine.org/Config.trim_on_minimize For windows only. Set as true to let Windows reclaim memory when fx is minimised (which may cause a delay when fx is restored).

Exactly, firefox especially was one of the first (if not the first) to impliment these ISO recommendations, beating MSIE by quite a way.
