Not really. Depending on how its coded. The content can be the same, its the fancy flash navigation and such thats put on top of it that needs to change. Dynamically pull your content in to your design, but have it detect if the user is blind (like say through a browser detect) and present them the content in a pure text format.
We also have twinkies. The premise here is that all websites should be coded to be accessible to the blind. Therefore all food should be made to be edible by diabetics without worry.
The difference between is that sites can do many things while being accessible, but food for diabetics really can't have any sugar in it.
No. He's got nothing. Far too many people don't seem to know how MAC addresses work. They're replaced at every router. They're only locally significant to a packet. If you have a PC and you're capturing packets, you'd have to be an idiot not to notice that the MAC address from every packet is identical, no matter the source. It would be the MAC address of the router you have at home, or the modem if you're directly connected to that. That would be the inside MAC address of that particular device. Every routed interface has a different MAC address.
Unless the ISP is giving the MAC address to them, and even then the ISP only has the MAC address of the outside device. You could have 1, 10, or a million computers behind that MAC address and it would all look identical to them. There would be no way for them to distinguish which PC the particular transmission came from without seeing the network address translation table, which on most home devices isn't even displayed let alone available for inspection later.
Everyone I see someone bring up MAC addresses in relation to file sharing talk I just want to encourage them to get out of the conversation because they're in far over their head.
Which was what the original poster did. Made an accusation without evidence and the best evidence that can be provided is a 2 year old story which says they don't do it anymore. Getting pissy over that makes you a douche.
I'm not more or less lazy than someone who made the initial accusation, or insinuation in this case, without providing the evidence to back up their claim. Its not my job to go out and find the evidence to support someone else's accusation. Also read what you actually tried to use to back up your claim: "(San Francisco no longer compensates its contractor on such a per-citation basis)" And this was 2 years ago.. all the current stories are from the last year. Any evidence any of the current claims involve such contracts? Its okay, we'll wait.
That would only make sense if it was shown that private company was somehow compensated on a per ticket basis. Otherwise your speculation has no merit and is hardly insightful.
I'm wearing blue pants, I'll leave the rest to you as an exercise.
This is a strange phenomenon that I have noticed in some languages. If I ask some of my Korean friends for explanations about military words they're just as stumped. Perhaps its because we have a lot of military style shows and military style movies in North America that the general public seems more familiar with them than some other countries.
shouldn't it be really easy to fix: 1. Computers which are part of botnets probably have very obvious usage patterns and traffic coming from them. 2. Most ISPs would have to be flying blind and stupid to not notice this if they bothered to look for it. 3. ISPs could come to a mutual agreement to stop spam 4. Any user on an ISP found to be generating spam should be cut off until they agree to clean their machine. 5. any ISP unwilling to agree to that could find other ISPs not interested in dealing with any traffic from them 6. Short of spammers buying a direct connection to the internet or creating their own ISP (which other ISPS could just block their entire range) this should pretty much knee-cap them. All it would take would be for a few big ISPs worldwide to push something like this and all the little guys would fall in line. Yeah its kind of bully tactics and there might be a bit of a cost incurred at the beginning but once you got the majority of it cleaned up spammers would really have to move on and the work load would become much lighter. Frankly a little bullying in this direction might be fine if it would stop spam, I know I'm tired of receiving it.
I know people on their third or fourth 360. Don't assume everyone who has a console experiences the same luck you have. Also don't assume everyone who uses computers experiences the same bad luck you've had. When I was younger and used to do free-lance support, hardware was rarely a cause of the problem with the machine. It was users installing Bonzai buddy and his 200 friends. In the last 20 years I've had 1 hard drive fail (and now that consoles have them, you can expect to see those fail in time)and a mouse crap out on me.
The problem is the people who buy a business class machine, like one of the Dell machines intended solely for office work, e-mail/surfing and expect it to be a gaming machine.
There is nowhere that this is more apparent than The Sims franchise where people who are not gamers suddenly want to play a game and find they can't or that the performance sucks.
The problem lies with the fact that PCs are not consoles and people have choice. If every PC was sold as something capable of handling games, the price would be much higher. You wouldn't be able to get those $300 desktops for grandma to check her email on.
Don't blame the industry for giving consumers a choice. Blame the consumers for not educating themselves and making a proper choice. Better yet, educate consumers. Run an ad campaign, set up a website as a resource for explaining the difference between an e-mail machine and a gaming machine.
I don't get people who claim how frequently they have to upgrade their machine, or how much time they allegedly spend maintaining it. I'm calling it BS and the person who modded you up some clueless console fanboy.
I upgraded last summer to a core 2 duo, an 8800 GTX, and a SB X-Fi. I bought the machine 3 years ago. In that 3 years the only thing I'd done was add 1 GB of ram to it and a TV Tuner card. During that time I played all the latest and greatest including first person shooters all the way along.
I have no plans to upgrade 6 months from when I bought that unless I travel back in time, and likely I won't upgraded the graphics card for another year and a half. I can't recall the last time I had a problem so severe on my machine that I had to stop anything I was doing and focus on it rather than do what I wanted to do on the machine.
But if you fool yourself in to thinking that a Radeon 9250 is a good upgrade choice, or that you'll get a free ipod for punching that damn monkey, I could see why you might have to upgrade often or spend a lot of time "maintaining" your machine.
Not everyone who plays a PC is some kind of hardcore lan player who spends hours every day optimizing his water cooling device and trying to squeeze another MHz out of his overclock. However optimum input goes hand in hand with fun. Its not much fun stumbling your way through bad controls, which used to happen on the PC, when some developers thought it was a good idea not to let players map controls (that only happens in bad console ports now). Anyone who can look at it objectively should be able to realize that there are certain types of games which just lend themselves to a mouse/keyboard input and that joysticks fail at.
As another benefit, should something actually go wrong with my PC, I'm only inconvenienced for as long as it takes me to get a part and put it in. If its something non-critical, like one of my storage drives, optical drives, sound card, tv tuner, etc. I'm only without it for as long as it takes me to power it down and put the new one in and turn it back on.
I don't have to sit around twiddling my fingers while Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony get the unit back to me.
no..no it didn't.. I'm almost certain no one had a gun to your head, even then it would have been worth it for you to take the bullet rather than repeat that tired joke.
Random racism would be racism that has no purpose. Just hurled at anyone who is different. maybe you make too many assumptions. Your experience isn't the norm, nor is the US as shiny and wonderful as you want to hold it up to be.
I have a ton of foreign friends studying in the US. They all tell me the same thing. Nothing but random racism. Towards them and their friends, other foreign classmates, etc Your experience isn't indicative of the norm as far as I can tell.
" Robots have long been portrayed as friendly helpers in Japanese popular culture, a far cry from the often rebellious and violent machines that often inhabit Western science fiction."
isn't it a prerequisite for every anime every made to contain some kind of giant fighting robot?
Some people hold the US up as a model of immigration but I see them quickly shutting their doors. Sure you can move there as a foreigner, but the people already living there will treat you like garbage. They might not let you in their sex shops, but they probably don't harass you up and down the streets and hurl insults at you, racism is still alive and well in the US, especially if you have an accent. I can tell you which one of those I think is worse.
Luckily for some tourists unless you're visiting small town USA you can find some part of the city that is asian town, german town, etc..etc..

It still is. I've built my last two homes out of the boxes I've received on a couple of small HP orders..
You still have to put in your own ram and extra hard drives.
There is a DL320 out there with a little blood in it from when I was trying to move a bracket to get a HD in it..

but usually against giant robots being used by the villain..so not much of a difference.
Last I checked Johnny Five wasn't evil and megatron was.
