From what I understand, Zimbra actually powers Yahoo! Mail.

Almost everybody who pirates Windows 7 does so using Windows Loader which, once they started encrypting it, has never been targeted by MSRT.

I'm guessing people who actually are afraid of this don't like Slashdot, either.

My MacBook Pro's bright green charger LED, its bright white blinking sleep LED, my Mac Pro's power LED, and if I don't turn my audio rack off then you can easily add at least 10 more, many of which are that dreadful blue. My Nexus One has an orange or green LED to say it's charging/charged, but I just put it face down so I don't see it.

I need to buy a roll of electrical tape...

...is because companies can sell extra chargers at inflated prices. Just about all laptops charge via the same spec'd power brick, they just all use different plugs.

When was the last time you saw a laptop charger that didn't output somewhere around 16.5-19 volts at 5 or less amps? In fact, since Apple's probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to having proprietary designs, I pulled the charger for my 17-inch MacBook Pro out of the wall and looked at it: "16.5-18.5V 4.6A max," it says.

The same thing has gone on with cell phones forever and has only begun to be fixed in the last two or so. Pretty much all charge via 4.5-5 volts and draw less than 2 amps, usually 0.5-1.

Probably 99% of the population has no idea that -80 dB is extremely good and -100 dB is awful. Further, the curve is logarithmic, which makes things confusing because most people are only particularly familiar with linear.

If you play electric guitar or bass, these are things that really helped me get going when it comes to electronics. Modifying effects, changing pickups or pots, etc. all require at the very least soldering knowledge, and they're great ways to start. Also, this is a GREAT thing to start with. I have one and I still use it.

I'd bet a thousand bucks without second thought on neither of these programs natively coming to any form of Linux in the next year and a half, if not more, and I'd bet even more that Canonical will not be distributing anything like them (even via Wine) in the next FEW years.

Looks like they forgot the ROT13

Yes, and if Google actually said they were going to store your DNS requests for any amount of time useful for doing more than simply cacheing them to make them faster, and/or they said they were going to otherwise tie them to any other information they have on us, I wouldn't use their DNS service.

Actually, this is quite the opposite.

In the document, "Additional Terms" refers to additional ToS documents and Privacy Policy documents, etc., and "Universal Terms" refers to this. I think this is pretty much the most straightforward legalese I've ever seen, and it very clearly states that if the privacy policy of their DNS solution says they're not going to keep your data more than 48 hours, they are not going to, regardless of what the Universal Terms document states.

that's exactly how i am. my email is mostly used for business stuff and i use myspace, aim and sms for like everything else.
