Pirate Bay, one of the flagships of the anti-copyright movement, makes thousands of euros from advertising on its site, while maintaining its anti-establishment "free music" rhetoric. And? It doesnt cost me a damn thing to go to TPB, especially when I can search directly from kTorrent without seeing a single advert.
I might give the music industry time of day if only it had arguements that made even a small bit of coherence. The "they are really stabbing you in the back" arguement is ridiculous.
That is bad in a way because the const ints are being stored in memory instead of hardcoded at compile time. Its not such a bad thing these days with monsterous hardware, but it is a habit that needs to be broken. Neither offer any advantage over the other since changing either will only affect the program after its been recompiled, its just that slight disadvantage for a distinct data type.
At least its not as scary as *gasp* demons so they may actually get the formula right. A shame since Doom could have been so much more using the proper plot.
I hope the other benefits of the technology (flash drive, 14 hours online battery life), carry on to "thicker" laptops. Naa, you can keep your flash drives. I actually like having my hard drive die in several years instead of several dozen thousand read/write cycles.
Regardless, you could take down a police officer if he was wearing inch thick steel plating by just hitting him in the face. Might not be quite as mortal as a shot to the heart, but he is at least out of the fight. Alot of good modern kevlar does against headshots, huh? Not to mention you can do it with any gun and a rock if you throw it hard enough.
Very true. While the parent is right that the firmware running Linux would be indeed impressive, Linux is too large and still too general for firmware use. Linux is good for personal computing, but you need some extremely powerful computers for these engines and Linux wont be fast enough.
is it like the blurb? That is, a big rant on Ubuntu and not much on Beryl? If Ubuntu sucks so bad why not try it on a different distro? Mine works just fine under Fedora 6.
Because the incidens are logged and if it happens enough times, they will install a police officer to ticket whoever is doing it. Homemade MIRTs make for VERY nice tickets.
Ignorant of electronics, perhaps. Ignorant of chemistry fits the bill more. Moreso, oil companiyes dont generally let out how much of what goes into a can of motor oil, to my knowledge, so I can see why they would be ignorant of corrosive chemicals.
Motor oil is cheap and transformer oil isnt. Not only that, transformer oil is made for extremely high standoff voltages which would only be present of a rig got struck by lightning. So I can see why it would be seen as unnecessary.

To the death in a Roman Coliseum?
When someone mispells "hole" as "whole", I assume they are discussing hamburgers.
I'd watch Plan 9 From Outer Space than a Sci-Fi original anything.

At least a couple people out there actually still use their PSPs.
Very much so.
I cant wait for Coca-Cola with cane sugar.

One day, maybe, one day.
I mean its not like we wont have that money lying around from all the DVDs we sell, right? Right?

You give Congress too much credit.
MySpace needs to be taught a lesson like Mayday Digg.

Perhaps it should. Especially when you running into a tree makes every 4/5 drivers distracted enough to run their own cars into a tree.
You know, you are supposed to cook your pork before you eat it.

Even still, there have been cases where two obviously different files share the same MD5 hash: http://www.cits.rub.de/MD5Collisions/
