Full stop. Your conditional clause is unnecessary and wrong here. As much as we need IPv6, the TLD diarrhoea should never have been allowed to happen.

Having more bits makes it easier to manage your local ranges. When you have multiple locations and a bunch of VPNs between them, more address space means you don't need to squeeze it tightly -- something that always backfires once there's a need for expansion.

Sounding like crap has never stopped record companies before. It's the loudness war.

Thus, there's little VLC can do as the signal is already compressed up the wazoo.

Here's a car analogy: it's akin to making the license number bureau liable because they haven't acted upon some hearsay that the car's owner keeps it dirty.

You forgot Gnome 3. But still not as bad as Slashdot Beta.

Electric cars could eliminate noise pollution. What did our bright lawmaker mavens did? Legislate it so electric cars must play artificial noise, because someone might be jaywalking with a nose in their smartphone.

So I'd expect 50 years of the equivalent of having a person walk before the car waving a red flag before we can enjoy the benefits of new technologies.

Wine: an emulator of the win32 API+ABI on POSIX+X.
WinXP/Vista/7/8: an emulator of the win32 API+ABI on NT.

Neither is native in this sense.

And how much is that in degrees? :p

It's a FTP client! If you use passwords there, you're doing it wrong.

It's an ancient protocol that sends logins and passwords over the network in plain text, and you're concerned with storing them on your disk unencrypted?

Well, he already has the crown.

"keep cookies until you close your browser" means you can't elect to keep a cookie. I for one don't want to type in my Slashdot login every time, yet I don't want to allow 95% of sites to set permanent cookies. In Firefox, you can do it (clunkily) even with no extensions, or comfortably (defaulting to session cookies) with Cookie Monster.

Chrome has no equivalent for this functionality, with or without extensions.

"apt-cache show chromium-browser|grep ^Architecture:" says "amd64" for me.

Mod: +1 Hopeful.
