Cool. I find it interesting that there seems to a certain amount of opposition to this then; surely making it more difficult to access child pornography is a good thing?
The law on obstruction of access to child pornographic content in communication networks (access aggravation Act - ZugErschwG) aims to provide access to Web sites with depictions of sexual activity by and against children...
I can. I've had Deathstar, Seagate, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Maxtor and Western Digital drives over the many years and out of all of them the ONLY drive (x2) I've ever had fail were both Western Digital drives, one that was no more than 6 months old might I add.
I hear the external WD MyBook drives are particularly bad at failing due to power supply issues too.
I don't think the argument with Windows 98 applies here, at all.
When Windows XP was released it was a revolutionary change in desktop computing (IMO), I don't in the slightest consider anything about Vista or Windows 7 in anyway revolutionary and the only benefit I can see of 'upgrading' to Vista / 7 is a requirement for a more powerful machine to run, at most, an operating system that really has little if anything to offer in new features. What we will get is more and more bugs that will be fixed at a rate that will open up systems to more stability and probably security issues too for a significant amount of time.
How many service packs has it traditionally taken before one of Microsoft's operating systems has been considered 'stable'?
For the record, I'm not trying to bash Microsoft here, if they released Windows 8, 9 or 10 and actually provided an OS that was worthwhile of upgrading to, I'm sure businesses will follow suit and if they did hell I may have even considered staying with a PC instead of forking out an arm and a leg for a Mac last year just so that I could run a system that 'just works'.
Vista wasn't it and from what I've seen of it, neither is Windows 7.
This. I'll be interested to see the legal implications if/when Microsoft decide to stop supporting XP altogether to try and force upgrading / unneccesary fees for a platform that has no benefit (some would argue a negative impact) on businesses, particularly in a global recession.
I doubt the EU will take too kindly to it, I don't know about the US.
I wish efforts could be focused on porting the extensions available in Firefox to WebKit based browsers (Safari / Chrome) so I could scrap FF altogether, I just can't tolerate having to manually kill the process / session every 30 minutes at work so I can get on with development, I must waste at least an hour a day going through the process of:
Bookmarking currently open tabs to a folder
Killing the FF process
Loading FF again with a new session
Re-opening all the tabs in the fresh session to continue my work
Not only does the browser become unusable after 10 - 30 mins (sitting idle might I add), if I open a site with flash content or something JavaScript heavy it starts to lockup other parts of my machine as well. I might add my iMac is a 3ghz multi-core demon with 4gb ram, why can't the mozilla dev's fix these problems that have been ongoing since I can remember many years ago (Phoenix / Firebird)?
...and the amount of people that have tried to blame it on platform issues, I get the same problems on any OS, Windows, Linux and OSX.
...the only thing holding me back from switching to Safari / Chrome completely are the debugger and inline markup editing in firebug which, although close in Safari and Chrome are still IMO unmatched.
Actually on the note of Firebug, when are the problems with Firebug freezing going to be rectified? (Since FF3) I don't know what changed in the architecture of Firefox to cause so many problems but how long has it been now? I'm assuming it's never going to change.
When the BBC announced it over in the UK, they kept playing the video on repeat of him holding the baby out the window on BBC news, I'd actually forgotten about that incident until it had been rammed into my brain again!
Google !== our infrastructure. Dealing with the whinging from all the pissed off teenagers + Stephen Fry would be a nuisance though if twitter were down even longer than it currently, regularly is.
I believe the OP was looking for a cost effective solution that doesn't require extra equipment. I believe (don't quote me on it), that children have a substantial overhead in terms of cost, time and patience.
Slashdot Mirror
I was just googling "When the fuck did slashdot get censored?" a second ago, until I read your post :o)
There will always be certain situations where all nations can lend a hand to help in the disposal of such dangerous goods,no?
Remember Chernobyl? IIRC no government really gave nor really still gives a shit about it.

No way, it's mostly management that sit on their arse watching videos on youtube / using facebook all day.

Actually, what would be the best two-way encryption to think in?
So, people wearing tinfoil hats have been right all along. I'll just have to start encrypted thinking.
Good question, anyone have an answer to this? Any NASA or spacey dudes about?
I seem to recall XP's RTM build was 2600, I recall it being very stable too.
Unlucky.
Exchange / Outlook is a pretty substantial requirement for every company I've ever worked for.

Barclays do this in the UK, this is part of the reason I've just moved my accounts from Lloyds to Barclays.
I learnt about the whole supply and demand thing, et al.

Grrr
A sudden rise? I thought Windows' piracy rates have always and will always be fairly consistent from the news I read very week.
I think double tapping the shift key quickly would be a good replacement for caps lock.

Aspergers peeps take things literally without looking past face value and by all accounts, at face value Michael Jackson was a celebrity fuck-up.
He did make great music though.

How is a PDA-class device with navigation going to cause a car crash?
Oh how you'd be surprised.
