Have you got NoScript enabled? When the page loads all the text-based headings get replaced with Flash - it's really obvious to me because I have FlashBlock, so all the headings disappear. This happens in IE8 and Chrome.
Necessary, yes. Likely to, no. There are too many cultural and social factors involved. Even if we were to survive, humanity would undergo substantial change in the progress.
I've heard of this concept before - it usually comes every time there's a discussion on slashdot about how the average user won't maintain their computer's security. The logic is to frighten them (via the threat of being prosecuted for possession of CP) into using AV, etc. It's entirely possible (if unlikely) someone may have done that, though Occam's Razor suggests this is revenge/framing, plain and simple. It would be interesting, though, if somehow a large no. of politicians got their systems infected with this virus, particularly in places where possession itself is a felony...
Here's an excellent example of that: http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/ As far as I can tell, it's only being used for (plain text) headings. If it wan't for FlashBlock, I wouldn't even think they'd be Flash. The weird thing is that the page actually loads with those as text, then the javascript kicks in and replaces them with Flash.
An alternative is that he reverse engineered the installer to remove the EULA before he installed it. I've got no idea what the legal status of that would be though...
It's not actually zero - probably close to it though. I=Ft; F=I/t; therefore an object can't stop instantaneously since that would imply an infinite force.
I would argue that without physical punishment, psychological warfare isn't as bad. Don't get me wrong, it's still abhorrent, but once it's purely psychological it becomes possible for some individuals to resist it, and it's also a lot harder to implement since you need a decent understanding of the individual for it to be truly effective against them.
The tree didn't give us free will. We had free will, that's why we were able to take the fruit in the first place. The best justification for free will I've heard is that it's a necessary prerequisite for love - one of the things we were created for (according to theology) is to love God, and you can't love someone unless you can freely choose to do so.
The bread was discovered on a busbar - an electrical connection inside one of eight buildings above ground on the 17-mile (27km) circuit in the Swiss countryside.
They don't need to invest in roofs, what they really need are doors.
112 (one-one-two) is the emergency telephone number in:
* the European Union member states,
* the Colombia (South America), and * worldwide on GSM mobile networks and their more modern equivalents.
Since ACTA is still being written, my guess is it will be updated to use loopholes in this. It would be a pretty big blow to them if every country in the EU refused to sign it.
For me, the most noticeable increase was my greasemonkey scripts. They're what slow down Firefox, so having Chrome blitz through them is pretty significant.
I agree completely. IMO, the solution to that is to keep challenging yourself - dabble in all sorts of areas. If your math/sci focussed, try some literature, philosophy, the arts, etc. Even if you end up applying the concepts from math/sci to it, it gives those metaphoric muscles a workout and also rounds out your knowledge.
Ignoring the higher hardware requirements, I think that the lower uptake of Vista/7 would suggest that businesses are avoiding upgrading so that they can keep IE6.
Slashdot Mirror
Chrome has support for greasemonkey scripts, so that's half the addons right there.
Is it still work if you do it for fun?

or try to remember how the history of mergers and acquisitions went down.
Or realise that you don't need a password to use Wikipedia.
Sure, but they'll do it from *their* point of view...

I like the way the site is designed. Nice and simple, not like some sites where you have to turn to google to find a single page.

It's posts like this that make me glad my country uses metric.

Alternatively, you could just use the Incognito mode in Google Chrome...
Perhaps try a different locale then - en-uk or en-au?
For mobiles, yes:

If it's a mobile, you should really be dialing 112, since that works *anywhere*.

If they have to have a hearing for each case, won't this seriously bog down the court system?
Will the industry then be limited to going after only the biggest offenders?
No, they'll just keep using blackmail and extortion, the same way they do now.
