Most of the new interactive web stuff is done with client-side javascript or, more rarely, java. In these cases, feature bloat can definitely affect you.
Sounds like Yahoo is trying to be more like Google with the Beta thing. Some things have no logical explanation except that they follow an existing trend.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Frankly we need more regulation to protect employees from abuse. People are forced to work and often don't have the luxury of telling the boss to stuff it.
I never cease to be amazed at how some people's solution to a problem is "more regulation". Politicians pander to your type.
Yeah, because Red Hat, Mandriva, and SuSE aren't corporate entities competing for users at all. They're just one company that is fragmented? Or something.
On a shared host it is not uncommon to have multiple domain names resolving to the same IP Address. Most web servers, like Apache, can be configured to run multiple domains. Many hosts will not give you a unique IP unless you pay extra or buy space on some variant of dedicated servers. Yahoo's hosting service, for example, does not appear to advertise a unique IP. Reseller hosting is pretty much guaranteed not to give you a unique IP.
Regardless of whether the IPs were unique however, Google could still tie them together based on DNS Servers or IP address blocks owned by the host. If they are blocking an entire sub-domain service, I would not be surprised to see them block a web-hosting service that was not aggressive enough about shutting down spamming clients.
Right, because Flash is free software, so it works with every current OS and browser.
Well, the Flash Player is free (as in beer), and it does work with every major current OS and browser. It is certainly better than Silverlight, which doesn't even make an attempt.
What makes you think that the 70% that vote is not representative of 100% of the voting populace? Or, for that matter, that the 30% that did not vote really had anything to contribute to the voting pool. Perhaps the message from voting advocates should not be, "You have an obligation to vote, so go vote." I would think a more appropriate message would be, "We would like for everyone to inform themselves and make an educated decision about the candidates, but if you are unable to do so, by all means DON'T VOTE."
Drug cartels feed thousands, if not millions, of people around the world. Just because an industry pays doesn't mean there is no better alternative for livelihood. Anyone working for..AA has no sympathy from me.
Maybe because you are ignorantly trying to say that because they are black hats they should not be called hackers. The term hacker can be appropriately used to describe anyone with above-average knowledge on a subject and a desire to explore and tinker, usually outside the confines of what is expected or desired. Maybe you can educate yourself a little better before complaining on slashdot, Try reading some Kevin Mitnick, Michal Zalewski, or if nothing else Wikipedia.
I'd be kind of pissed if I took a computer security class and it was all about social engineering.
Unfortunately for all of us, a technical attack is usually fixable by the next version of security software or the OS, while a psychological attack will continue working effectively as long as computers are operated by people. If the objective is to benefit from an exploit, as opposed to obliterating a system, it is nearly always more profitable to deceive the victim into believing that they are still in control of their system as well. I believe that a good attack would incorporate a high level of technical expertise, coupled with a social engineering deception. There is after all a saying,
There is no patch for human stupidity.
I think anyone taking a computer science class that wants to disregard the human element of computing is not likely to be the most successful in the IT field.
Don't know about tabbed browsing, though it's plain for anyone to see that MS was late to that party, and brought with it a very clunky implementation.
According to Wikipedia, It was the InternetWorks browser in 1994.
Nothing anywhere except in your post links this incident to racism. You missed the whole point. They were discriminating against him because his name contained the word shit, not because it was Jewish. If there were a pattern or something said that correlated with your conjecture, I might think differently, but you seem to either not know the meaning of words or simply take every situation and try to find a deeper reason or explanation for situations that are obvious.
Is "theirs" the correct word to refer to all three of them?
Probably not, since "theirs" is meant to show plural possession. However, "they'res" would equate to saying "they ares" and "theres" could generally be interpreted as a grammatically incorrect writing of the contraction for "there is" or "there has".

Bass Fisher Extreme sees the list of charged emails and removes them from their system.
Maybe we should popularize free, safe sites like youporn, porntube, and xtube and this can all go away?
I personally lost nothing in the change. Maybe that's why.

Oh, wait a minute...
like hack Xbox Live.
There, fixed that for ya.
There is nothing wrong with being biased toward one thing or another. The problem comes in when you are unfairly biased.

You're insane for comparing WebKit with IE. IE is not open for development, which is why it stagnated.
Installs fine from the Ubuntu repositories on 64 bit. The binary is not 64 bit, but it does work.

Its basically flash done properly.
Yeah, that cross-platform compatibility aspect is rather insignificant anyway. Right?

You're right it takes more work than setting up a dhcp server and plugging in a switch. No wonder they didn't do it.
A layer 2 switch with port-based vlan tagging set up would not be susceptible to such attacks.

There is still no correlation with the story, and no, religious discrimination is not the same as racism.
