Says who? The environment is not king of everything, people. Our laws are still superior to what insulated people in the city say animals want. You may think that the environment is top priority, but it's not, really. I'd venture to say that most people who go around all day thinking about the whales or the algea or whatever wacko cause of the week are people who already have their needs and personal whims catered to.
I honestly think these people would think differently if they moved to the rural areas of America (or whatever country), and had to earn a living by their own sweat. In truth, farmers are pretty conservative people, politically or environmentally. The things the enviroworshippers hate are actually in their own beloved cities.
Actually, Wine refuses to run under sudo. I know this because I used to use Windows data recovery programs (that naturally needed root) in Wine on NTFS drives. It used to work surprisingly well.
Google only hides the voicemail files with a monster-long URL. Though served over https, they are still world-readable. This is not an accident. This is deliberately done so that one can post a link to it somewhere else (email to coworker comes to mind) and they can hear it. Google did not simply forget to have access control; they purposefully chose this way over the Docs' everyone-must-signup-for-any-reason style.
Now, some morons have posted those voicemail URLs on public sites, along with the text translation. Along came a spider and sat down, er, crawled over them. These URLs and texts then appeared in search engines.
There's really no shock here. If I post links to my family photo gallery, everyone will see those, too, unless I have an account-based system which requires all my relatives to jump hoops in order to get access. Google tried to pick the lesser of two evils - whether they picked the right one I don't know.
What about a system like the one at my workplace that doesn't charge the card right there, but rather does it in a batch at the end of the day? It's useful because I can easily invalidate a transaction a few minutes later if I key in an error, without swiping the card again, instead of having to issue a chargeback. Also, what about machines that are operated offline (eg. a travelling booth). They're pretty common.
I agree. EA ruined C&C by making it WAY TOO MAINSTREAM. Red Alert 3 is garbage. Games are over in like 10 minutes. The old Tiberian Sun could easily take hours. They tried too hard to expand it's appeal to the masses and they lost their old hardcore base. EA's getting what they deserve.
I agree. I do online banking and my bank's emails are pretty sterile. I have to pay close attention to keep from tossing them. On the other hand, they do NOT include clickable links, and they do have a multi-step logon that shows me a picture and an associated phrase (that I picked) that I'm expecting to see. It's a fairly decent way to foil outside phishing attempts, but it if I had malware it could easily grab and replicate my image and phrase sometime when I log on to the real site.
How is being billed by the call "pretty darn nice" as opposed to something which has a one time fee and which you own?
One time fee? Have you ever looked at what Garmin charges for a map update (upwards of $60)? I get to drive around doing dropoff/pickup of customers' boxen, and I find that maps age very quickly.
On an unrelated note, Auto-Tune the news is a riot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElztHVKY2PY&NR=1 It really bugs me when I hear singers using that. They put way too much trust in it. I mean, it might be okay if I can't hear it, but when I hear someone singing with Auto-Tune artifacts my knee-jerk is to turn it off.
The video aggravated my motion sickness! Seriously, the cameramen did a horrible job. They need to get better tripod heads and use manual zoom or something. It looks like something a little kid would shoot with a Handycam and friction-head tripod.
No, stay away! Ever since some big magazine (Forbes IIRC) published some big article about Idaho being one of the top X places to live, we've had droves of people who drive like they're in California. They even have Obama bumper stickers. (The Idaho liberal is typically a lonely or an institutionalized person. And being in college is being institutionalized.)

Actually, it made him so he couldn't buy a football team.
Although the American military budget funds a lot of nonsense, you have to admit that we get an awful lot of really cool side effects.
Could I get some car analogies with that?
True, but $40k is enough to make some folks who do have access curious.

You missed the point.
iTunes got reinstalled. Google Toolbar didn't. That's the real story here.

Actually, the most recent version (not sure of the number) has the normal Uninstall button enabled, and overall it seems to be behaving pretty well.
Even in really depressed metros, diners are still pretty expensive compared to T1's.
Sounds more like bad VRAM to me...although I don't know how replacing your RAM would have fixed that.
He's talking about the actual installation, not the download process.
Store a stupid bookmark. Then you only have to type https://blah.blah.blah/ one time.
You should be more responsible than to link to https://blah.blah.blah/. It's got an invalid cert!

Except for the battery, you're looking for the EEE Box.

What was #1? NOD32? (That's all we sell at my tech shop.)

It breaks compatibility with a lot of ancient cruft. That's one of my biggest pluses for Win7.
You are correct. WORLD Magazine had a good writeup on him. http://www.worldmag.com/articles/15856 (It's likely behind a paywall.)

First they passed on natural immunity to our generations that helps slow the spread...
Wait, acquired characteristics aren't passed on to offspring. I don't see how this could be.
