Drive-by malware is already the norm, you just don't know it because you have secured your browser (through adblocking/disabled plugins/noscript/etc.).
Remember that the 80486 was back in the Golden Age of computing when Compaq could legally reverse-engineer an IBM PC and not get sued out of existence.
Yep. It's nice how they didn't just go to the boys will be boys shit. These kids need to learn about the consequences of their actions sooner rather than later. If they were adults throwing water balloons at others they would have been arrested. Why let them get away with it just because they're two years younger?
At least native advertising has a much higher bar to distribute malware then traditional advertising. (You have to specifically get the site owner to include an iframe to your site rather then just paying someone who buys ads from someone who buys ads from Google.)
I prefer more obscure alternate names for water, such as hydrogen hydroxide, hydroxylic acid, hydrogen oxide, and oxidane (the last of which is the official IUPAC name! (when it's necessary to disambiguate between liquid water and H2O regardless of state)).
Well actually if they had today's level of patent enforcement back then, Compaq would have been wiped off the map and IBM would have remained the dominant player in the computing world.
Oh yeah, and we wouldn't have had the portable PC so there's that.
Comcast is rolling out IPv6 nationwide and will send a tech for bad signal levels. Knology sees no benifit to IPv6 and even at -12 dBmV, you'll sit on hold for 90 minutes before all they do is lock out your ability to view signal levels at the modem.
I showed my modem stats to a Comcast tech and he said that he's surprised that I even get internet at all.
I am in no way a fan of wireless mice. Last mouse I had required it's batteries changed every two weeks or so (and these were brand name batteries) and every time you did, you had to "re-syncronize" it with the PC by pushing the button on the mouse then on the base. Or is it pushing the button on the base, then on the mouse? Or is it holding the base while pushing the mouse? Or holding the mouse while pushing the base?
It's things like this that led me back to wired PS/2 mice. I eventually switched to USB when computer manufacturer started putting a decent amount of usb ports on their systems.
I find it a remarkable co-incidence that English just so happened to be the language where primary development of computing took place, and it seems to be the only major languages that uses the Latin alphabet with no diacritics.
I don't think it'll matter
If she's already had to run for re-election twice and won both times despite her opponents bringing this up, would a third attempt really work?

Re: Re: I'm glad they actually arrested these guys
Obviously you miss when you could strangle a guy in front of 30 witnesses and not even get told you did a bad thing.

Isn't that just called analytics nowadays?

Well, time to move all our online infrastructure to a government that doesn't care about the Internet. Like China. Or North Korea.

I don't think "actual bullying" (aka assault, battery, petty theft, etc) is illegal anywhere. :/

Mozilla would never add DRM to Firefox. Remember these are the same people who didn't add MP4 support becuase of MPEG-LA.

I'm surprised that googling copyright myths doesn't turn up anything about the #1 copyright myth: That copyright is necessary.
