Google shouldn't doing anything to prevent this. It all seems the people that made the question would like a law like "muslims can't use google earth" which is pretty terrible. If the military now knows they are using google earth they can just take advantage of that and predict the next attacks.
I was going to mention that the problem completely sounds as a memory issue. I mean the guy got these issues right after upgrading the RAM AND it tends to happen after going above 2.0GB...

Sorry, but I am not buying it, apart from some 'more human' syntax (which is not more than what pascal does) vb doesn't really solve the usual programming issues, if anything it just made the distribution harder since your programs required those darn runtime files that for strange reasons are never included in windows by default.
Couldn't sites use a less javascript requiring method to show ads? They could just do it internally and generate the html with the advertising, if they make their server download the image and host it for the user it will rather be pretty hard to actually block ads without blocking other images. They could also try using text for the ads. Why always the friging banners and popups? Be smart!
It also doesn't seem to prohibit me from using encryption, if you are sending critical information friging encrypt it or use your server to store mails (not like your ISP won't be able to read them anyways=)
I hate something in gmail and it is that it won't allow me to send.EXE files it sometimes distrubs my development, err I figured out a rather obvious way to pass over its protection that I won't post since:
- It is so obvious, posting it would make me look retarded
- Perhaps if I let people figure it out gmail will then "protect" the users from sending.EXEs even with the workaround.
Whatever, trash seems to automatically remove stuff after some time, unless of course, google is keeping those files even after that, but then we couldn't be sure either if yahoo / hotmail aren't doing the same thing.
Give me a break! Some parents are terrible at sexual education, some parents even don't give sexual education. Shouldn't at least schools fight out the whole social and health problems that unprotected sex causes?
Yeah well 50+ tabs......sounds unrealistic or like an overkill. Often the internet is to be read or used and not just to keep the tabs open for no reason, I go with 10+ tabs and never seen the memory usage go above 100 MB (so makes me doubt about the tales of 700MB+ of memory usage), and in the last versions it has only been improvingg, my memory usage is 42MB and I had firefox open since yesterday in a 10 tabs basis.
google, slashdot, youtube.... It can get really annoying, I blame the sites on this though, Javascript is being overused, seriously, it is also that web developers have to impress their bosses and that sometimes means to add much more dynamism than needed. But currently my biggest issue is that even AJAX requires approval, and every single important site loves AJAX if noscript could allow ajax scripts it would improve everything greately maybe in a next version.
The most annoying thing whatsoever are sites that don't even expect you to have javascript disable and just fail silently and absurdly, some amateur sites would give you a blank page without even mentioning it.
I am not sure if they are using wmv3 , If they were using wmv2 VLC would work well enough and the lazy tech guy wouldn't be blamed for "supporting linux" . If they are using wmv3 they could move to wmv2 either way. It all seems that wmv3 is only supported by media player this kind of limitation doesn't sound great to me, even for mac users.
Seriously, the WII fanboyism must stop! Sometimes you guys sound as a religious sect. Sure it is cool and all but it is not the best invention after the wheel. It does have a new controller, but, IF the PS3 failed entirely sony would just have to make a new controller o_O sounds awesome doesn't it? Controllers are replaceable! and if the expensive price really hurts them they can just remove blueray technology. If the lack of games is a problem they just release new games
None of them console companies care that much about this country so there was none of the new consoles available for this christmas.
But I think I would get a wii, but I have my doubts, it is just that console games are always too expensive in comparission to the PC games that are just 'free', on this matter the xbox 360 sounded promising but then you figure out you need a subscription in order to make the games and you can't distribute your own games, which kind of kills the whole great idea XNA was.
The good thing about the wii is the cost , even I am able to pay those 160, but it is probably going to become much more expensive when it arrives here.
Here, the PS is still pretty successful and everyone migrates to PS2 whenever they can, no xbox or gamecube are known that much here. I once saw a gamecube in an store as opposed to the many boxes of PS1 and the 3 boxes of PS2
Because of that when people here hear about the PS3, the wii and the xbox360 they look forward to having a PS3, of course they would just wait 8 years before the PS3 gets accessible for them (just like what happened to the PS2)
I just think it is too soon to make conclussions I wouldn't really predict failure or complete success of
but anyone with an open mind realizes this is absolutely not the case
When did we have elections for the official spokesman for our "open minded people organization" ? I don't remember going to it.
Anyways, although I prefer Kubuntu. I have no problem whatsoever in using windows XP and admire some stuff in it. I just don't think vista is such a big deal, I actually dislike stuff from it. There are a lot of things that are just wrong with vista beginning with the huge system requirements, DRM and WGA that it seems crazy to support it right now. Seriously.
1) The consumer does not matter. No, he doesn't. It doesn't matter if the new 'features' of an operating system are actually against the consumer, because the consumer is never going to be aware of this fact and the consumer is going to buy this operating system automatically. It just comes with the computer.
2) As informed as you can be, your opinion doesn't matter. You are part of a market minority and eventually "everybody else" will upgrade, you can actually claim things like "everybody stay with XP!" or "Everybody move to Linux" both of those are truly fantasies that will never be true.
#11. Incredible run-on sentences that are in a difficult-to-read font and are not punctuated and sometimes written in the second person familiar and sometimes they changed tense and ended illogically disconnected from their premises even though you read them through to the end.
I thought this post was over criticizing or an exaggeration but......oh boy! I read the thing but I am still not sure what points 6-11 actually meant.
I just don't see any other proprietary software beating MSOffice any time soon. I just don't think you can beat MSOffice in the proprietary territory. I mean, if you are going to use proprietary software, go for MS, seriously.
Q: How can I share my Xbox 360 game built with XNA Game Studio Express with other Xbox 360 users?
A: To share your Xbox 360 game with friends, four requirements must be met:
* The individual you are planning to share the game with must be logged in to Xbox Live and have an active subscription to the XNA Creators Club
* The receiving user must have downloaded the XNA Framework runtime environment for the Xbox 360
* The receiving user must have XNA Game Studio Express installed on their own development PC
* The game project, including all source and content assets, must be shared with the receiving user. The receiving user then compiles and deploys the game to their Xbox 360.
We are actively working on other ways to allow you to more easily distribute your games and are very excited about the possibilities this will open up for independent game development.
Q: Can I store my XNA Game Studio Express game on my memory card or CD/DVD and share it with a friend?
A: No. Games developed using XNA Game Studio Express cannot be shared through a memory card or CD/DVD at this time.
It could be the opposite as well. If they forget their mySpace passwords they can use email validation to get it back, what exactly happens to you if you forget your job's?

Doubt he is planning to sell the house anytime soon.
Hell yeah. You don't know how esoteric something like removing the embedded windows media player can get.
And it is also getting harder and harder to do stuff anonimously... Governments are even planning to forbid anonimous usage of the web.
Google shouldn't doing anything to prevent this. It all seems the people that made the question would like a law like "muslims can't use google earth" which is pretty terrible. If the military now knows they are using google earth they can just take advantage of that and predict the next attacks.

It is awesome, they just want to break freedom of speech just to protect some guys from looking like fools.

It is also incredibly easy to let someone create an email address and make it look as if it was the offender's. Good news for vigilantes I guess.
