WoW Patch 1.12 released in August of 2006 added a hidden channel for add-on communication that didn't suffer from the drunken text transform. FriendNet was in use and updated well after that patch was released but to the best of my kno

Yup, it's a bit of a different model and for different reasons but very similar concept.

That doesn't really seem to be the way they are spread out. There's some in major cities like Seattle and Portland. Then there's some at recognizable landmarks. Tokyo Tower, CERN, Area 51, Roswell etc.

Carmack wants to build the Metaverse. Facebook wants to own the Metaverse. I don't see this as a good thing.

Marc has already pointed out that he removed himself from the decision making process regarding the divestiture of Skype and fully disclosed his conflict. ebay held 30% to his 3% during all of this so Icahn's claims seem pretty baseles

I'm seeing this on lots of sites with Chrome. Usually a reload fixes it.

Since being sold to the Daily Beast and then the IB Times, not very high. There are a lot of factual errors in their "Fall of France" article and even when pointed out Newsweek refuses to acknowledge any of them.

by ktsmith 13y ago
Let's not forget that Newsweek has changed hands recently and has published at least one provably false story since then. They are relaunching their print version tomorrow, and even if they are wrong everyone is talking about them. The

It was interesting but the video kept cutting out for me. I figured I'd check out the music anyway and was greeted with a "This content is not available in your country" message. That was a first being in the US.

I would hope (though I'm probably wrong) that people would know his history with Sun.

I did the exact same thing. Pretty sure I mentally checked out at that point. I didn't even pay attention to the screenshot on the screen though that's also standard at this point.

The wifi problem drives me absolutely nuts. Most of the time I'm somewhere I can use a wired connection but the lack of a solution is incredibly frustrating.

There is at least one company doing this. I sat through a pitch a couple of weeks ago from a company touting that as their primary function. They couldn't explain how or if they dealt with users that don't have static ips, use pro

I would imagine that google caches the images so there would be one request instead of two.

They are already scanning the content of the emails so there's nothing stopping them from determining if the images between emails are the same regardless of name, and even then just sending down whatever they have cached, 1px transpar

Uniquely name at least one image per outgoing email where the image name is tied to a recipient ie a316f002a5d080a613dce89a4ad8f9a9.gif uniquely identifies myemail@gmail.com. If google doesn't fetch the image until you open the email y

This also happened on the 19th. There was an article posted explaining that their crash prevention code was processing a big sell order, reversing, and then infinite looping. This looks like the same thing.

The complaint lays out what's being paid and dvanduzer pointed out below the $1100/hr figure is just for Bromwhich, his staff is an additional $1025/hr. I don't think anyone would find that to be reasonable.

When I first loaded it (just a minute ago) a woman was pictured. On reload and since it's a man.

Right, I agree about both this ventures potential for covering and at the same time there are tons of suckers. My comment was just more to the fact that companies currently claiming they can deliver at $3/GH/s haven't actuall

Is anyone actually shipping anything performing in the sub $6/GH/s range? Seems like everyone claiming that has failed to ship. Then again by the time these guys do ship something it may not matter much given the amount of hashing
