Who says they have to put the LEDs in direct contact with the oven? Just stick them elsewhere and use some sort of light guides/fibre optics that can handle the heat.
Noscript deserves mention just for the fact that it patches a glaring deficiency in Firefox that IE had fixed ten years ago - the ability to say "let these sites run scripts, but keep the rest of that popup scum off my screen". Mozilla's insistence on not adding this one thing under the popup and image controls they already have is Completely Fucking Retarded.
I think the tech guys have had a few phone calls with them already about it. They keep pretending there's no problem on their end, which is bullshit because things like HTTPS work fine.
I had bad DSL signal problems with my home line about a year ago, and it took literally months of phone calls before they sent someone out to verify that there was nothing wrong with my stuff. Funnily enough, the problem stopped the following week...
The ISP supplying my workplace regularly blocks HTTP for up to hours at a time. Nothing else, just outgoing(!) port 80. First connections get dropped silently, then after a while it moves on to forged TCP reset packets when trying to connect to anything. Which is pretty worrying because they're the only ISP available here.
Actually it isn't hard to define. "wackaloon right winger" is pretty easy. They are the loud mouthed hypocritical arrogant assholes that spout of right wing propoganda lines like they are the damned Gospel. For comparison, the wackaloon left wingers do the same thing except with left wing propoganda crap.
Could you also define "right wing" and "left wing", for those of us whose daily lives don't revolve around political trolling?
And now for the car analogy: Imagine a world where electric windows aren't standard. Now, imagine that someone starts selling aftermarket electric windows. Now imagine that a car manufacturer, seeing the popularity of electric windows, starts to offer electric windows as standard equipment (and modifies its manufacturing process such that they can't really build cars without electric windows). The manufacturer's electric windows can still be replaced with new ones; if the aftermarket window people can offer a sufficient improvement to be worth getting it done they'll still do business, if they can't; they won't. Now, why should the situation be different if only one company makes cars?
How about the more realistic car analogy: Imagine a world where electric cars aren't standard. Now, imagine that some small-time company starts selling electrics, and they work comparably well to their internal combustion equivalents. Now imagine something like Ford or whoever comes along and sees this little upstart making money off what should be _their_ market. They get jealous. So they make a bunch of prototype electric cars and give them out to a bunch of people for free as a trial. Small company goes bust because nobody wants to pay for something when they can get a slightly better product for free. The trial ends and all the service and supply stations for these prototypes cease to exist. Those who received one get to keep the pieces. They don't care, they just go back to their old vehicles if something breaks. People who bought from the small company are fucked over, since they spent a lot of money _and_ there's nobody around to support them if something goes wrong.
You'd be surprised how often the power supply is the cause of problems in the other 90% of the hardware.
My PC has a no-name 300W power supply used at about half its supposed capacity. The combined CPU/GPU spike from loading a graphics- & scripting-heavy website is enough to send it over the edge and kill the OS, often enough that it's a major annoyance but rare enough that it took me months to figure out what was going on. Also lm-sensors claims the "standby" voltage varies wildly between 1-7V which is a bit worrying.
That won't work for one simple reason. People don't give a shit about sound/video quality! Just look at how popular sites like, say, youtube.com are as proof.
It's for that exact reason I saved a copy of my ISP's terms of service years ago. That, and for protection if they suddenly try to bait-and-switch me - at which point I can sue them for breach of contract for not giving the stated 15 days prior notice before any new changes to the service come into effect.

Just look at Spore - the day it was cracked its weekly sales plummeted from zero to -100000!

And Linux, once they start using it as a core part of the OpenGL stack.
No need. Most people here are smart enough to know it's not the researchers, but the companies peddling antivirus software that create viruses.
I've got a P3 running mine. It saved 100 watts.

We all know about the correlation between mainstream gaming and illiteracy, but what does it have to do with this story?

On second thought... don't bother.
1% only looks small when you pretend the TV is the only problem in your house.
I suppose he'll die a horrible death out in the wilderness, just like everyone did before mobile telephones were invented.
Oh wait.

These days evidence is optional, if you're a large organisation and want to destroy someone.
What will happen when any good on the store can be replicated at the cost of materials?
What happened when the music market started getting flooded with manufactured identikit pop trash? Real musicians are still in demand today.
That's why I do all my installs from SD cards now :)
If you're part of the other 99.14%... good.

Would you also trust a Sony "music" CD in your windows computer over a torrent?
Use Kismet.

You might be joking, but a Netgear is still better than Belkin. There are better ones out there in any case.
That's not a bribe, it's called customer service.
Sounds more like harassment and cold-calling late at night to me.
Looking at your comment history reveals a lot about your own priorities.
You're a deluded crank seeking attention, and you have reading comprehension issues.
