Their data approximately matches the data given by other companies that take their own samples.
Interesting; it doesn't match my company's data or any of my clients data. Can you give me something more than your opinion?
I suppose you could say their data is suspect if no one was able to repeat the observations.
Please reference above...
Why do you think there's an "agenda"?
Oh, I guess you got me there - since everyone at/. is sooo MS Friendly.... It's not like there's a picture of Gates as an Evil Borg on the header or anything...right?
Sometimes when you post, you don't realize that many folks will take you literally rather than common idom. However you are correct; let me restate what I said and see if we are a bit closer in our thinking.
Why does it seem that a growing number of the population feel that they can complain about not enough things being done for them and provided to them, and yet these same people are quick to rail about injustices when everyone has partial or overwhelming responsibility to protect their own interests? That's not just ideologic, it's BIOlogical.
If you don't like the way that things are being handled "for" you "on your behalf", it is your responsibility to handle it yourself. If you are not sure what your rights are, why wouldn't you take the time to do a bit of research, especially in this community where so many/.'ers are talented and skilled enough to find the resources.
And all of a sudden, you realise that EVERY car dealership in town has small print saying "...and if you buy this car, we can fuck you in the ass."
Well, you don't like being fucked in the ass. But there are only 3 car dealerships available to you, and they all have this small print in it. And you really need a car.
So what do you do?
I buy KY or take the bus.
Seriously, though - you are talking hypothetically and I am talking about this example. If you don't like anal, then perhaps you should take steps to avoid "suprise butt secks". If you trust every company to put only nice things that benefit you in their terms and conditions, then you are living in a fairytale world. Why is it that people aren't willing to take responsibility for their own lives and then complain about a "nanny-state" governement??
...they can do whatever they want within the bounds of local laws.
Don't like it? READ THE AGREEMENT NEXT TIME. Sorry, arguing this on moral or ethical grounds is a moot point. They provide the SERVICE, you signed the AGREEMENT.
Not to mention that this list is comprised mostly of 3rd party apps that run under Joomla 1.0.x. Hell there's even a few apps I created with a teammate that we stopped development on years ago. Strangely enough, I still find them in use all over the world.
The community has always been diligent about finding, reported and fixing security issues in a timely fashion, and I think it's easy enough to verify without taking either of ourt words for it.
Surprised I didn't see this here yet; Joomla! meets or exceeds all your requirements, has over 4300 extensions for doing anything from document management to e-commerce, needs nothing more than a web-browser for management and best of all it's FREE.
I hardly even code straight HTML anymore, haven't had a project or client that couldn't use it.

I've been with RCN for years and I can't say I have any problems with my torrent throughput, but then again, I never use the default ports. I'm not saying that I'm an expert, but I do know that my own non-scientific comparative testing showed a major throughput difference between using the default BT ports and a randomly selected port in the higher range.
If someone can prove me wrong, or explain why I am - I am certainly open to learning.
The most widely dispersed reality show ever... 15 Minutes! This time *everyone* gets their "15 minutes of fame" in this hilarious reality show consisting of raw footage from everyone's lifecams!
..isn't even what's going on in the Halifax Fire Department, it's what is going in the Halifax School System as evidenced by the comments:
Erlyer this month to kids stabe a nother kid all because he would not give up his cell phone while waiting for a bus on Alderny. One of the young teens was arrested and now his mother and brother are crying fowl
Holy jumping Jesus! I know it's Canada, but seriously folks...!
Not the 'cultural sensitivity police' just proving a point, proven further by the fact that you didn't know who al-Majali
is. Rather than dismissing it as someone I made up, a simple search would have educated you. Yet you expect Jordanian's to know not only who Orson Welles was, but what similar historical prank that he was involved in well over 70 years ago. Meaningless to many contemporary Americans, let alone Jordanians.
And while many Jordanians can tell you the name of various US Cabinet members, some of our own folks here in the US can barely name the VP!
BTW, al-Majali was director of medical services for the Jordanian armed forces, president of Jordan University, and minister of health. He also served as advisor to King Hussein starting in the late 1980s. Majali was prime minister from 1993 to 1995, during which time he signed the 1994 Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty.
Not exactly a nobody, but *you* didn't know who he was, did you?
For the record, Mike and Ike candies are manufactured in BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA by the Just Born company - who also makes Peeps, (I know becuase I live about 5 miles from the factory) which makes it even stranger that they wouldn't be able to identify them. The real question that remains unanswered is why officials were viewing through the web cams in the first place - what gave them 'probable cause' to believe that such steps were necessary. Remember, the software was installed to enable them to take a picture of the current user if they believed the laptop was stolen. At no point have they even hinted that they thought the laptop in question was stolen.
In most cases OCR isn't even involved. Today's books are all typeset, printed and in most cases composed via computer. These new books are already digital to begin with. So it's merely an excuse to price eBooks out of existence because publishers are afraid of losing revenue to the vague spectre of "pirating".

I'll just refer you to this article on slashdot then, and let you come to your own conclusions.

Yet I know I will see this posted again next month...so would someone please explain the agenda to me?

Why not just call it a "Depends"able Computer with plenty of "Poise"?
(Man, and I thought the iPad was a bad choice.)
I'd rather see Phillip K.'s work than the current list of "Dicks" writing SciFi scripts lately.
There should really be an irony tag.
On that, we are in total agreement...

Wow, how culturally sensitive of you.
I guess you've never heard of Abdelsalam al-Majali. (Sure, I'll wait while you look it up...)
(we are not amused)
Personally, I'm not worried about the future of Flash either. I don't think it has one.
Great, Dad and I will dump those shares today. (Way to rally the investors!)
we could make a religion out of it or something. Make loads of money. *ca ching!*
Never heard of Scientology, huh?

Sounds scary to me... Sounds more like we'll be followed by 'intelligent billboards'!
