GP's point was that if you want to upload 50 files and you have 50 inputs in a form, you have to select the files one by one, which is very time-consuming.
A solution would be an addition to HTML for an input element for selecting multiple files.
I typed out the third part, with | representing a 0 and || representing 1. I then split it up into octets, but they turned out not to be a multiple of 8, so this is very likely a wrong interpretation. Unless I made a mistake in typing it, which is entirely possible, especially considering certain ||s could have been two |s and vice versa. However, it may be of note that there are 4 identical octets around the middle, and they appear several additional times. Another thing I noticed while typing it is that there aren't any sequences of "11" (two or more ||), so || might be a separator or something else.
In my experience, Gmail's filtering is really good. I've been using it since it started service and I've only gotten 2 false negatives so far, and 0 false positives (that I know of, though I routinely look through the spam to check for such). And I've been very careless of where I post the e-mail address, so it's probably in just about every spam list.
Granted, that's only my personal experience, and for a corporation using Gmail is probably not the best option.
Well, it does require the installation of Google Gears. IIRC Google Gears is a browser plugin/extension that acts as a proxy for your network connection. I suppose it's not difficult to make it special-case handle Google Docs requests and handle them by itself, including interacting with the local file system. Otherwise, I would see no need for Gears.
On a more KDE-centric level, I'm not enjoying the low-contrast Qt themes with the insistence of rounding every possible corner, and I've yet to come across any themes that give be the beautific simplicity of Plastik How about the Qt 4 version of Plastik, called "Plastique", which ships with Qt 4 by default?
Many (if not all) of your other complaints, while valid, are things that have simply not yet been fixed, or features that have not been implemented. It was just that KDE 4.0 was somewhat rushed (it probably should have been still beta, but at least this way it got lots of development attention).
As for Amarok, you really don't need a playlist of all your music just so you can listen to random stuff or stuff based on a filter - that's what Smart and Dynamic Playlists are for (I should add that I have not tried recent versions of Amarok 2, but I use Dynamic Playlists even in 1.4).
Why bother with Freenet then? If he can install it, he could just as easily directly copy some child porn or something else compromising to his computer.
Kind of like my ISP. It recently switched to PPPoE, and to notify users of the change whenever you opened any page it would instead show you their page with instructions on how to change your settings for various OSes.
The Linux instructions (aside from being rather outdated and stupid) started with "Download this file...".
You're all (as in, all the people who've replied to the GP) missing the point. The GP was correcting the GGP, who said penny rather than cent. The GP was saying Finland has cents rather than pennies, not that Finland has Euro rather than cents.
You fail at English comprehension. "did not target users of a particular age group" means there wasn't any age group that it specifically targeted, not that it avoided some age group.
And if that's now how you misinterpreted it, your comment doesn't make any sense.
Just copy the file and paste somewhere where you can paste text. You'll get the path. Works for multiple files, too.
As for your other question - at least for me, the tree does update as I navigate on the right pane. I'm running KDE 3.5.8 but this has been working like this since at least 3.4, so maybe you've hit some bug or misconfiguration. What other quirks are there?
KDE partially addresses the issue you complain about. See this screenshot of Kickoff, for instance. The apps all have generic names, and the actual application name is displayed in a paler font.
Or they could let you choose which server you want to store the data on, maybe you would have your own server setup and you want to use that instead of theirs. They do let you do that:
We kept the server intentionally dumb and standards-based, so that anyone can set up a server for themselves and/or their friends or company.
I used to think the same way you do - that it's impossible to simulate the universe in something smaller than the universe, since at the very least you'd need so much storage space.
But now that you made me think about it, perhaps it's possible. Maybe some compression algorithm could decrease the storage data to 50%, 10%, maybe even less. Only the working set will be kept uncompressed in the RAM. Even a tiny compression ratio, like 99% of the original size, would make it theoretically possible. Of course, a computer the size of 10% of the universe is not very feasible, but at least it seems like it's a theoretical possibility.
Also, if I were to have access to such a computer, I wouldn't try to run a random simulation - I'd try to run a simulation of our actual universe. Then I'd have a machine that can show me anything that's happened in the past, that's happening now, and that will happen in the future. But that would be even more difficult - I'd need a computer that can simulate the whole universe at a speed faster than real time. And if I want the results while I'm alive, at a speed of a billion times real time.
Actually you (not necessarily meaning yourself, but anyone who thinks that he is involved with that list) should back up your claims. It's not up to random people you've accused of something to prove themselves correct, you need to show that your accusations are true first.
A legacy file format importer that was written back in 1995 is likely going to be insecure whether its closed or open source. True, but if it's of a documented, open format you can write a new importer. If there's an open source implementation you don't even have to start from scratch, just fix the existing one.
DDoS Grisoft with their own plugin - it fetches all linked search result pages in a Google search in order to scan them.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a Crue.
Google Mars already exists.

If you have the Alt+SysRq key combinations enabled in the kernel, you can usually sync & reboot even when X has grabbed the keyboard and frozen.
It's an interesting idea, but (as with most of these) if it catches on, scammers will simply adjust.
Webkit isn't the "beta" of Safari, it's just the name of the rendering engine. As for your concern, see this comment: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=509004&cid=22943286. And I don't see how this is bolstering anyway.

Because this is still Adobe. They'd probably rather use their own platform, Flash, even if it limits them somewhat.

Mozilla's servers.
Anyway, if the encryption/decryption is done on the client it shouldn't matter. If it isn't, host your own server.

Innocent until proven guilty, right?
