And I would doubt that anyone who's ripping professionally is unaware of the (potential) legal consequences, should they get caught.

Why are they threatening the people who actually paid for the product? This feels pretty relevant as well: http://i.imgur.com/GxzeV.jpg

"And now Opera is pissed at the usage of browser specific extensions and is adding support for -moz and -webkit which is sure to further mess up things." I know Mozilla has been discussing this as well, to have a chance to compete in mobile

The mock-ups of future Firefox-versions always look gorgeous but they usually start running into issues at the implementation-stage. Some things are left out, corners are cut and in the end it doesn't give the full experience the mock-ups a

The forward-button still appears when there actually is a link to go forward to (instead of having it greyed-out a lot of the time). My personal opinion is that it looks good, and that the round back-button has become a way of recognizing F

Do you by any chance have one or more external hard drives attached? I've been having a lot of lock-up issues while I have six of them connected (through a hub) to a MacBook Pro from 2011 running Lion. It looks like this (also shows it drop

While bad news for Microsoft, it's hard not to think about how much exposure you as an app-developer would get in a store with only a hundred (or even a thousand) apps. This may be incentive enough to have a lot of developers creating apps

We went through all this in Sweden a while ago, based on the same EU-directive. What has happened since the law passed here? Not much. A few government-related sites have started showing an explanation about what a cookie is and does, and g

Who pays for that? Google and the phone-manufacturers?

There's nothing preventing you from blocking HTML5-video just like Flash can be blocked with add-ons today. Personally I use NoScript for that.

The browser-makers seem to have grown tired of the approval-process. Implementation happens before that.

by Zirro 15y ago
The issue wouldn't be implementation, that usually happens pretty quickly nowadays. The wait for older versions of browsers to become irrelevant, however, will probably be a long one.

The best thing to do today if you want to be on the safe side is to use a VPN-service which doesn't keep logs. It's likely only a question of time before the anti-piracy organizations start going after them instead, though. Blocklists are,

I would assume it's enough for them to join a swarm to locate other peers. There are probably automated tools which can do this very quickly, just like I can see the IPs of fellow peers, both seeders and leechers in my torrentclient. Both o

They simply check which IPs are in a certain swarm, for a certain file. This is then reported to issue a strike against the connected IPs.

What they need to realize is that price isn't everything. Or doesn't have to be. There are more ways to compete: * Better pizza * Better customer service * Better facilities * More variety in ingredients * Fresher ingredients Just like peop

I use Facebook daily, but my purpose for using it has nothing to do with programming, nor would I want it to. It's for staying in contact with relatives and certain (non-programmer) groups of people.
