1. in SLR you can change lenses, in digicams you can't 2. in SLR you see through a pentaprism, in digicam you see through the display which is what the sensor sees (the sensor always remains open to light in digicams) 3. SLRs have larger sensor, this means that they produce less noise in higher ISOs 4. SLRs are more bulky and more heavy, they don't fit in your pocket 5. SLRs are more expensive, but cameras like Nikon D40 and Canon 400D are really very cheap for SLRs
What are they, buildings? Among other things, yes. I prefer to see them was group of people. People are good, corporations are bad. Watch this documentary for more: The Corporation (2003).
He was referring to aesthetics and you know it. I too appreciated the clear look of that web-page but if you look at the "splash page" on crummy.com you will see that this "clearness" doesn't work that well. See Slashdot, it has a nice and pleasant design without looking "undesigned".
Or maybe he just wants to be paid for his work. We all do but we don't act like that.
do we really chastise people for wanting to stop the theft of their work? It's not stealing, it's copyright infringement.
Prince isn't losing from this. People who pirate music wouldn't buy them anyway.
That's not a valid argument. To take it to an extreme, you'd never let a chef do brain surgery on you, but you might let a brain surgeon cook you a meal with some help from a cookbook. Just because one profession has little chance of succeeding in another, the opposite does not have to be true. No, it's not that going from profession A to profession B is more successding than going from B to A. It's the immediate risk involved.
Surgery can be fatal for the patient but with bad cooking it's not a big deal (jokes aside:-P). So although an IT guy doing a bad web-design could cause no hard to the IT infrastructure, a clueless art designer could wreck havoc to the business if left to take care of IT issues.
But a badly designed website can be bad for business in the longterm because people like to see beautiful things. Just like if the surgeon tried to make a living out of cooking meals would not be good in the longterm.
The studios are not going to bankrupt because people download their movies in torrents. People who download torrents were not going to see the movie on the cinema or DVD either way. The studios are not losing anything.
But I know what you were trying to say to the parent post.
Can I make a suggestion about the 2 minutes of idle time? Can you have ping on the background pinging yahoo.com or google.com (just one package, you don't need more) every 100 seconds? Or you could use wget to grab a few standard pages or random pages. Just use wget example.com, it will grab only the first HTML file (a tiny size of bandwidth but it might keep your connection alive).
- First you install IE7. Until recently you had to go through some sort of verification to download IE7 but now it's open for everyone. Nevertheless, you can get IE7 customized from Google: http://www.google.com/toolbar/ie7/
- Second you install Multiple IEs: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE...which gives you an installable.exe package with IE 5.0, IE 5.5, IE 6.0 (and some older versions 4.0 and 3.0 if I remember correctly). It even makes the registry configurations so that you can use Conditional Comments (google that for more, it's a life-savior).
After you have finished, you can even have mutliple version of IE open at the same time. I do this all the time.
I can run any old Netscape browser on Windows but I can't in Linux. It needs old libraries. I would be grateful if you point me to HOWTOs on how to get it to work on a modern distro.

Erm... not quite... I am running Firefox 2 on Linux and I have Flash 9 installed, it's 7.8M:

The differences between digicams and DSLRs are:
1. in SLR you can change lenses, in digicams you can't
2. in SLR you see through a pentaprism, in digicam you see through the display which is what the sensor sees (the sensor always remains open to light in digicams)
3. SLRs have larger sensor, this means that they produce less noise in higher ISOs
4. SLRs are more bulky and more heavy, they don't fit in your pocket
5. SLRs are more expensive, but cameras like Nikon D40 and Canon 400D are really very cheap for SLRs
This moded funny. It should be modded as insightful.

What happens when your equipment brakes (due to age) and you can't find anything to replace it?

They will not. That would block SSL and SSH too.
Still, it's a nice idea to have stronger crypto. You just never know.
What could be more stable that about:blank ? :-P
This was funny not insightful :-P
I have had similar problems with games requiring the disk to be on the Secondary Master and not Secondary Slave.

Is this now going to replace "the BSDs are dying"? :-P
And how about Joe Jobs? Companies would try to kill each other by doing Joe Jobs.

I have two points.
Point one. Humanity is acting irresponsibly with its discoveries, like genetically modified food.
Point two. I don't think the Slashdot audience in its whole is not more educated.
A different watermark for each recipient. This way you at least know who leaked it :-P

Not at all complicated.

All well and nice
What I miss from Yahoo mail is a whitelist.
What made you say "privacy disrespecting"? The China incidents?
