but I routinely choose not to search a site with google (if there is an option).
It really depends on the site. Some sites have poor search result ordering, lack search options such as filtering or are just too slow so I opt to use google using site:
I'm not sure if it's actually necessary to have quicktime in order for itunes to do many of the basic things like download podcasts or sync your music/videos but it's probably necessary to play music and videos on your PC. In any case iTunes will complain if quicktime is not found.
I hate the full quicktime so I install quicktime alternative then extract the itunes installer using winrar. The itunes installer will extract to several separate installers including iTunes and Quicktime. Delete the Quictime installer and install iTunes.
I haven't tried this with the latest version of itunes but it worked with the version I installed late last year.
Don't forget that LED also have no warm-up time so they are instantly on at full brightness in the correct hue. This makes them especially well suited for applications that require pulsing such as vehicle turn/hazard signals or vomit flashlights.
There is no reason to write tiny apps in assembly anymore
I heard truecrypt rewrote AES in assembly to fit in the boot loader for whole disk encryption. This also had an added benefit of increasing performance.
It's low end because it takes forever to start Excel when you have Norton, McAfee, or which uses half of their RAM while sitting in the system tray and all their CPU whenever the program decides to scan or update.
I've never been comfortable with those auto-installers and cpanel tools and now I have good reason to dislike them. Did you have an option to upload and install your own scripts/CGIs? I'm using a host with SSH access. Sure it costs a bit more but the extra level of control is worth every penny.
While you like it the fact is that you can't turn it off at will. Perhaps someone will come out with a SSD access "seek sound" application. Then you could choose to have sound or not. They'd also need to add a special grinding or clicking sound when the SSD begins to fail.
I completely agree. Cost is a major factor in adoption of new technology. I like to think that I'm an early adopter. I install beta releases of my favorite free software and very often try new Linux distros but I didn't buy a Mac book air nor Vista because of the cost barrier and in hindsight in both cases I'm actually glad I didn't.
You may be joking but Whale does taste a lot like fish, albeit a fatty fish with a slightly acidic after taste. Here in Japan it's called Kujira and it's available in many restaurants and sushi bars. The only time I tried it was when a friend ordered it and I was unaware of what were were eating at the time.
This will only lead to more piracy globally. Everyone on the fringe who doesn't regularly download music in fear of the repercussions will surely increase their downloading/uploading habits. Additionally, each download will increase the perceived value of the "piracy tax" they've already paid so now there's another monetary incentive promoting piracy.
Those from other countries with less or no piracy laws will just have many more content sources.
That's why you use an open source client that is hopefully standards compliant. I archive my gmail accounts with Thunderbird Portable. The reason I used the portable and not the standard TB is that I am able to store the entire app and data on a large network drive and run it periodically from any of my computers.
Good point but if Apple continues to grow and gain market share (as I'm sure they'd like to) then that would eventually lead to a duopoly.
Now let's look at Apple's practices. They were aggressive when dealing with mobile carriers which is why so many carriers turned down the iPhone knowing that it would be very popular. Also, they've released the iPhone SDK but include restrictive policies like "no VoIP over the data cannel". Seems to me that they're heading in the "abusive" direction.
But would you rent it after you've downloaded it? That's what I meant by "Pirates don't need to buy or rent". The only reason would be for better quality or extra features.
I heard this story before but if the ruling was overturned by a higher court then it would no longer hold. From the link "(Judge) Niedermeier tossed out a grand jury's subpoena" so it looks like this is quite solid. And it's very unlikely that the fifth amendment will be amended.
The bottom line is that our society is split. Some are willing to give up civil liberties for a sense of security while others feel that our country's strength lies in our civil liberties and it should not be taken away because what the terrorists want.
Of course there are those who could care less and just let things go whichever way it goes. If they're not willing to fight for civil liberties then that group are basically part of the first group.
While this is a very good method there are some possible flaws
Keyword overlap can give you funky results. See link above. Most of Mambo's searches are actually for 'mambo kings'.
Google is not the dominant search engine some areas where some searches are likely to be higher. For instance Yahoo is popular in Japan where Ruby on Rails big.
Only a SEARCH trends are displayed so if something is popular and well known but isn't searched for, it will not show a trend. For instance I use Drupal heavily but I don't search Google for it, I just go directly to drupal.org
If it's a community project you can see how active their forums are. A large active community usually means it's a strong project.
Right, so how can we actually tell if piracy is the problem?
An economist would have to take many things into consideration:
Total media sales and rentals (since pirates don't need to by or rent)
DVD
HD-DVD
Blu-Ray
Netflix
Blockbuster
iTunes
any others...
Box office sales
Quality of the movies
New or rise in substitute goods
New game or game console
New fad (raves, swing etc)
Other substitutes...
Prohibitively high ticket/media prices
Boycotting movies in retaliation toward MPAA
And if all these factors are measured in dollars then you'd also have to adjust for inflation and other price changes.
Only after you've factored all these variables can you determine if the difference is due to piracy.

It's easy to filter out the full spectrum. Duct tape or black paint seems to work well.
Don't forget that LED also have no warm-up time so they are instantly on at full brightness in the correct hue. This makes them especially well suited for applications that require pulsing such as vehicle turn/hazard signals or vomit flashlights.
The real reason is that nobody likes a "sore looser" and as we know Google tries to be well liked.

While unsuccessful in fertilization, the female sharks did seem to enjoy the experience.

So "black box"es are actually orange? What a misnomer.

I was going to suggest the same thing except with PHP CMS packages mambo, drupal, xoops, wordpress, joomla.

Award consideration releases.
Use it as an educational tool but if you use your education to develop something completely new you'll be violating 235 of their patents.

That's impossible, even for a computer.
