TOR and Incognito aren't even in the same ballpark...Incognito is only for basic local machine level anonymity, its even in the new page message:
"Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit."
You're probably thinking about the "pictures" mode it connects in using Picture Transfer Protocol, what the GP was looking for (aren't we all?) was a fully read/write data partition which I think you can only get w/ a Jailbreak.
The statement when properly read is saying the the Xbox 360, and several of its components such as the Live Marketplace, Netflix streaming content through the Xbox Dashboard, Facebook/Twitter Dashboard apps, and Live.FM streaming audio wouldn't have come to pass.
All of which is perfectly true, had the XBox 1 not done well, it's like that the 360 would have been canned in R&D, and thus these elements of the 360 experience wouldn't have come into existence either.
It seems to me that we are a nation of wildly conflicting laws, and everything can be "made" illegal in some way, regardless of the actual intent. This is why our courtrooms are so crowded, and 'justice' moves at a snail's pace.
My side lost so I would like to impose a new (post competition) rule set because I believe the winning side banded together for the 'wrong' reasons, and should therefore be punished by being made instead to lose. I more specifically believe this because my sided banded together for the 'right' reasons!"
Microsoft will release a public beta this week of its next desktop operating system, Windows 7, hoping it will address the problems that have made Windows Vista perhaps the least popular OS in its history.
So, Vista failed because they didn't provide a public beta for it?
How about addressing the increasingly long list of features people actually want instead of a resource intensive API to make my windows translucent?
Or, making what was arguably Vista's best and at the same time worst feature (UAC) something that works without making itself so intrusive as to be the first time users desire to disable?!
An interesting statement when the research groups own "Statement of Task" includes:
"and ensuring the future progress of the U.S. civil space program"
Most of their objective list itself seems to imply (to me at least) they are for a civil space program, though I suppose it could be a masquerade for a desire to kill it and loot the corpse.
Didn't we just read that 47,000 people downloaded a Motley Crue song around the first day it was available for GH?
That being said, and knowing that even my non gaming friends have a copy of GH, I'd say the markets ripe for more tracks to 'play'.
It's been said before, but (imo) today's students are essentially 'weaker' in 'doing' math simply because they don't have to do much of the doing. The result? Easier tests so that more, or at least the same number of, students pass. Schools funding is often determined on this criteria, so no one wants "below passing" students.
When kids start Algebra I with a TI-89 that is drawing tangent lines and running linear regressions (in between games of tetris) for them, they don't learn any of the basic skills. This leads to a general decline in non-assisted capability, leading to a 'requisite' decline in the difficulty of tests so that more students can perform acceptably and schools maintain their funding.
Perfect Example? Shopping the other day in a store who's register was offline. I was -unable- to make a purchase because the register was down. When I offered that we could simply calculate the tax on the purchase and subtract that total from my $20 you should have seen the look on the kids face; would have thought I'd just asked him to land a hampster on the moon w/ just pencil and paper.
Totally agree, the "math" in this article is just horrid.
Dangers? By what definition? What levels of damage can be done?
5% of the.com space versus 19% of the.hk space? What the volumetric relation of.com to.hk?
"Excessive pop-ups"? By who's count, because mine would be 1...
I could be missing something, but the implication here seems to be that McAfee and TFA seem to think that domain registation companies should be responsible for what I do with my domains...
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of companies are in the business of registering domain names; some are large and well known, while others are small and less reputable, offering their services on the cheap and with flimsy or no background checks to lure in more customers. I've never had a registration questioned beyond my payment information...nor would I expect any sort of deeper investigation into my desire to register. Granted, most hosting providers specifiy restrictions on content/usage, but TLD registrars? Not in my experience at least...perhaps someone else can enlighten me?
Not to mention the further implication that the statistics from McAfee apparently weighed
excessive pop-up ads with the same weight as
malicious code [and] forms to fill out that actually are tools for harvesting e-mail addresses Seems like another set of stats designed to sell a product to me...
Does anyone else find the 'recent' advent of these get-behind-cover-systems to nearly all be flawed in implementation?
Be it Gears of War, where more often than not I found myself unable to leave cover due to its "sticky" nature, or GTA4 where I find myself nearly dead before the system finally accepts that I want to stay behind cover.
Games like CoD4 where cover just happens (i.e. I'm behind this so you cant see/shoot me) seem to have far superior, and arguably easier to implement, 'cover systems' that are just the presence of an obstructing element in the world...YMMV I suppose.
From TFA: "In Vista, LUA's are mandatory and inescapable."
As part of my MSDN Sub. I run Vista now on my main pc...the pc I develop on, and nightly, the same PC I play WoW, EQ2, or Vanguard on. All without issue, all under my standard account with M$oft's 'sandbox' disabled.....what a non-starter.

Duke, for all his shining attributes, was not perfect; even he ran out of gum.
This is modded interesting? Wow.

The only reason I see here for putting someone on death row would be the use of a strawman argument. Now, up against the wall, sir.
As a teacher, may I say, I would have considered stapling your lips shut.
So good to see our youth are in good hands.

You can't rule innocent men.
So, what you mean to say is:
My side lost so I would like to impose a new (post competition) rule set because I believe the winning side banded together for the 'wrong' reasons, and should therefore be punished by being made instead to lose. I more specifically believe this because my sided banded together for the 'right' reasons!"
What do you blaim your inability to read the mandatory preview on?
The real shame is that the preview doesn't check spelling as well as appearance.

Actually, in the eyes of the State you have no lowercase version of your name and are already enslaved. Have a nice day.
Level 70's in WoW take, with any degree of competence, 6 days played to level.
That's a metric [fuck]ton of hookers/cocaine.

I got "Emphasize the flaws", heh.
Given their servers are already hosed I think they need some robots to hold the bandwidth load.
