Agreed and I think the move to travel through China and Russia had to have been part of his plans at the start as this just drags all of the International parties into the fray whether they want to keep it quiet or not. It also then behoove

And while it's all fine and well to not depend on Wikipedia... when the majority of people treat it like the word of god when it comes to "facts", it's important to work to help make it as accurate as possible.

Documenting what though? The sites are gone. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any pre-internet Archive efforts to capture large portions of the known web at the time? Finding something like that would probably the best bet I would gues

I guess I would be surprised less if I hadn't already dumped the OS and switched over to Cynogenmod months ago after determining that the only benefit I was getting was access to a single magazine subscription. As a generic Android tab

Well, yes, censorship via disappearing history and feeding the masses a steady stream of meaningless entertainment to keep them complacent and detached from each other.

Actually, I saw recently that the reason for the price difference is because Aussi minimum wage is around $17/hr where as in the US it's around $8, so your pricing is inflation adjusted against common wages. I still think the pric

IDK, if the gov't has core network switch access and is sniffing all of the packets, that's "back door" enough for my mind. I'm wouldn't be surprised if none of these companies was involved, and it's just

I think another critical factor is, if you don't sell off, will Google ultimately supplant your relevance and kill your market in the long run. If so, it might be better to benefit from their investment than just be another forgotten casual

I second this notion. Personally, I'm for neither, but if you can present a compelling case for an e-mail address (like rare updates on new content, etc...) I might turn over my e-mail address... otherwise you're getting a Mailinator e-mail

In short. They didn't. It wasn't about IE not making a secure browser, none of them were secure in that regard. In 1995, almost all of the browsers were based on the original NCSA Mosaic source code (even IE). Once security started to becom

I'd post a reply there but there's really no point with the volume of comments already. Most likely he simply has a corrupt binary on one of his games. The "quick" way to resolve this is actually go through and launch all of the games and s

Agreed. My first reaction was thank the stars someone is addressing this fiasco. There are certainly good places for this kind of engagement but honestly I really think it's getting out of control.

Damn! I better start brushing up on my modem whistling skills! I used to whistle Hayes 300bps and AppleCat 1200bps handshakes in order to lock open lines when speed dialing. If you timed it right you could 99% of the time secure the dialup
