How comfortable are you walking down the street? Has everyone else on the street been security checked? for knives, guns and other items, possibly bomb making elem ents? Why are you more concerned about the people on the plane? How many incidents with a knife have their been on a plane recently? Or any weapons? And how many muggings, robberys, assaults with a weapon, have their been on the streets of america or stores or other public places? Sure, the security has stopped all that from getting on the planes so it doesn't happen. Bullshit.
I don't care if anyone else has been checked befolre boarding. I worry more about getting killed on the ground by stray gunfire (from anyone, anywhere at anytime) than I would worry about anything happening to me on a plane. Why is it so important to you that people on a plane are checked but not people everywhere else? Is it only possible for people to use a knife on a plane but not anywhere else? WTF?
The only uncertainty is who you work for. I doubt its anyone with the consumers intrests at heart.
The FUD you are claiming is not the FUD you think it is. FUD is an ad telling you that you've got a virus when you clearly don't and getting the user to install something that tells them they have a virus and oh! The only way to fix is is to send the company $50 for the "cleaner" since all they sent you first was the "scanner".
FUD for who? The shills? I don't see any fear being instilled in the readers except for the maximalists. Uncertainty? Doubt? Neither of those apply either. But go on trying to say that he is, and maybe someone somewhere will believe you.
There's no fear uncertainty or doubt, except at the honesty and integrity of companies like Righthaven for seeking maximums on minimal issues. Like fair use of articles and uses of material.
Keep trying though, you want people living their lives in fear so they will cow to you, but good luck with that here.
Wait, your users don't pay any access fees? Where can I sign up?
If you couldn't tell, the inference is that they already paid, thats their monthly bill. You didn't account for them to use so much bandwidth? STOP SELLING WHAT YOU CAN'T PROVIDE. And if you sell them so much a month, mean it, instead of whining that they need to pay what it costs you.
I'm sick and tired of these regional ISPs that oversell bandwidth and then complain that the users hog it all. They are only using what you sold them, that they are paying for. Seems only logical, to me.
My grandfather died 3 or 4 days before.. I was at his house the day of the wake and funeral so I saw it live on tv at my grandparents place.
What I remember most was the front page of the paper the next day was a full page picture of the explosion and a headline. That was the entire front page.

The day before the hack was released was the last day things at sony ever were and ever will be "the same". There is not and there will be no recovery. There will be no setting this right. Mark my words.

As an F1 fan for the past 10+ years, following the sport semi-closely over the years, through all the politics and rule changes and all the rest the FIA had a hand in, I can say this totally fits Mosley's MO. When the original sex story hit, it was almost a foregone conclusion to everyone but Mosley that he should step down when his tenure was up. If you never followed any of the sports that the FIA sanctions you may not know that he is a power hungry "my way or the highway" type of leader. When he let his reign finally end I was elated. (Jean Todt is already a much more reserved and impartial leader, despite ties to Scuderia Ferrari)
Now to hear this, as I said, lines right up with his MO. He wants to wield power over his domain. To control what people read or hear about him. (the fact that others would benefit from this is coincidental, the only thing he cares about with this is the protection of his image)
Well, I hate to tell you Max, but if some rule is enacted in the UK, that doesn't mean the whole world has to follow it; stories will get written and put on the internet for the entire world to read whether you like it or not.
He still hasn't put to rest the claims that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.
What's it gonna take, little michialee? A pipe to the side of your head? That's how you'd deal with it, right? Makes perfect sense to have the same done to you, right?

You're a troll of the highest order. Or flame baiter. Same thing.

First of all, what you think in your head doesn't make it so. You are wrong. Man up and accept the fact.
Second, "Libel is defined as defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or gestures." (credit to dictionary.com, which also has a legal definition farther down the page.)
ANY FORM OTHER THAN BY SPOKEN WORDS OR GESTURES.
Do I need to print this out, roll it up and shove it up your ass? I think thats about the only thing that will get this through your head. Which is firmly stuck up your ass, so it will get their quicker if I shove it right next to your head (in aforementioned asshole.)
And third, it has to be proven that what he wrote was false. So now you are in possession of all of the evidence from both sides and have made a judgement in a court of law?
"Caffeine-fueled coders won't even think about writing apps unless there are millions, if not tens of millions, of potential customers."
Not so sure I agree with that, maybe as a generalization. Most open source apps are born out of an actual need by the programmer on their own network or system, and not out of a desire to make money.
This also applies to freeware and most shareware. There's plenty of software out there that is being coded not for the "potential customers" but for the coder themselves.
As to the driving force of change, its the advancements and competition between the likes of AMD and nVidia for GPUs, AMD and Intel for CPUs, embedded and integrated systems; and all the other parts that make up a PC that are advancing at a rapid pace (3TB hard drives, USB3, 6GB/s SATA, etc) not to mention myriad advances in small scale production (3D Printers, etc). I'm sure I've left some facets out, but I think you get the point.
There's so much you can do with whats available today that the advances will come from the tinkerers before the military needs something (or before a company can research, develop and manufacture for the military)
