HanseNet / Alice also does this and as T-Online the opt-out process is done via a user control panel and is permanent, until you opt-in again. No cookies are set. While it shouldn't be necessary to do this in the first place it is MUCH better than a cookie based system as used by Bell.
I can only imagine how it went at AP HQ:
AP CEO: Now, before we adjourn, gentlemen, I have one last matter of utmost importance. I need to protect this precious piece of news from the perils of the interwebs or else our business model from the past will fail - anyone who wants it absolutely, positively _has_ to properly pay per line for it!

Why do I have to click on the speaker icon to adjust the volume? This is GNOME with all their HIG and make everything simple arguments! I know if I had a wheel mouse I could hover over it and scroll BUT why should I have to? Perfectly fine example of not getting it - I mean this is a dedicated music player and one of the most important control elements is sort of hidden.
For all of you wondering why Microsoft was fined. Linked in the article.. but who reads that anyway?
The product in question was heavily advertised in the autumn of 2008 in stationary retail outlets. Amongst others, a nationwide active retailer advertised the product with financial support from Microsoft. Even before the launch of the advertising campaign in mid-October 2008, employees of Microsoft and the retailer in question had agreed on at least two occasions on the resale price of the software package "Office Home & Student 2007".
Not every contact between supplier and retailer regarding resale prices constitutes an illegal concerted practice within the meaning of Section 1 ARC. However, this must not lead to a form of coordination where the supplier actively tries to coordinate the pricing activities of the retailer and thus retailer and supplier agree on future actions of the retailer. In the present case, this boundary has been crossed.
Microsoft has accepted the fine.
Firefox really feels sluggish under Linux. On the same hardware Firefox is way more snappier, doesn't freeze and lag under Windows. When I set up Wine I also setup Firefox + Flash and it certainly was faster than the native versions. Youtube looked worse (lots of banding) but overall the responsiveness was much better than of the native versions.

Is this because WinXP defaults to adding QoS and reserves 20% bandwidth for every network device? Just uninstall/deactivate QoS for each individual network adapter.
my generic cheap PSU I bought 5 or 6 years ago (rated 300W) still works fine. It sometimes gets noisy for a 10-15 seconds but then goes back to 'normal'.
It powered my Duron 650, then XP 2000+ / 2600+ and now X2 4400+. I must be very lucky.
The watch command! Run a command every n seconds and output the result.
watch -n0 'date' #fake clock
watch -n0 'du -h' #watch disk usage changes without having to constantly enter 'du -h'
The question is, can free-as-in-beer, inferior open source compete against free-as-in-beer, superior closed source?
x264 is open source and gives way better quality than Theora - but it is also a patent minefield and you will need to get in contact with MPEG-LA if you plan on doing commercial stuff etc.
I came in here for all the A-Team jokes to only find err.. one?! Oh well here it goes:
... in 2008 a hack commando unit were supposed to be sent to prison for a crime they did commit(!), though the captured leader goes free after trial (to the NZ underground) and now survives as a hacker of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...the A-Team. Bam bam bam!!!
The current 4 bases allow 64 combinations (codons). Yet they're only 20 (actually 1 or 2 more) amino acids coded by them (- stop). Introducing new bases does not overcome this limit - the limit is in the tRNAs which are complementary to more than 1 codon. You would also have to create tRNAs complementary to your new codons and for that to be efficient you would need compatible enzymes loading these tRNAs with your new amino acid.
The latter part is actually far more work then creating this type of 'artificial' DNA I think.
Slashdot Mirror
Funny looking at the original slashdot story from 5 years ago there is at least one comment saying that FF/TB eat a lot of memory. http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=129027&cid=10765186
Where is the great design team that gave us the Razr?

That's a lot of 'p'-prefaced jargon

Definately innovating too much...

But things like this are why people still trust Windows more than Linux; at least they won't randomly lose major features after an upgrade.
Like file-sharing via firewire (1394) just vanished in Vista - though it was available in XP?
Yes.
http://port25.technet.com/archive/2008/11/10/sun-to-distribute-live-search.aspx
Sun must be desperate for money?!
It is far superior in color reproduction
No it is not, it is still 8bpc and uses the same color sub-sampling (4:2:0) as DVD/DVB/ATSC etc...
The GPL DOES NOT cover usage - get it? It covers distribution.
I dont't even think the Moonlight team will be THAT fast...
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/04/silverlight_3_futures/
Silverlight 2.0 versus Moonlight 1.0 which does not implement any 2.0 features... maybe..?

as Outlook Web Access works in non-IE browsers..?! There is a reason you can select a 'Premium' version with IE and not with FF/Safari etc.

will Debians fork be called.. FireOwl? Mozilla guys stick to the heat and stormy side of elements - the icey stuff is taken by the Debianites.
But the whole point of changing from the default OOXML to something else is supposed to be difficult and well hidden ;-)

And plenty of people in Europe - especially Germany ;)

Most likely never ;)
Unless you want an rather ancient tech phone which is also locked down and crippled to no end by your network provider.
