Overwhelming numeric superiority combined with a reluctance on the part of the armed forces to fire on their own citizens. Throw in some guerrilla tactics and you've got the recipe for most civil outings in the last 50 years.
Look at the states that seceeded from Russia. Look at Afghanistan and Iraq today.
Maybe I should put some of the transcripts from my RH support coversations up... While not quite in the same class as Verizon Math, they're not far off. Microsoft support is actually quite good compared to RH.
Having said that, but the time I call RH for support, I've exhausted all other avenues. With Microsoft, because I don't use it as much and my knowledge isn't as good, I call earlier, so the questions are easier. But their overall professionalism and response tends to beat RH.
Yes, but as long as the fine for the illegal activity is less than the amount of money they can make from the activity, they are still required to do it.
A corporation is obliged to maximise profit for shareholders. Not to act nicely.
If we had complete control on the ground, we wouldn't have people blowing shit up all the time. We control at best a tiny portion of some of the major cities and have very little control of the surrounding areas.
No, in my country, networks don't mess with the phones. I've never had any limitations on what I can do with a phone put in place by the network, and I've had S60 phones from Orange, Vodaphone and O2. I've had a UIQ phone on Vodaphone that was also fully functional.
To the best of my knowledge, it's only US operators that think they can tell people which of their phone manufacturers features will and won't work. Nowhere else I've been in the world have I seen this.
I guess they figure you're gullible enough to pay to RECEIVE calls, you'll accept anything else they try to ream you with:D
"Some operators are requiring the phones to be locked for any apps not carrying a 'Symbian Signed' certificate. Which means, you have to pay for a certification process where you are checked by Symbian, why you developed the application and why you want to use certain capabilities on the phone, e.g. read and store user data, using the telephony APIs, or the WIFI capabilities etc."
You can't really blame the OS for what some stupid American operators do with it surely?
Other comments like fragmentation (DoComo vs S60 vs UIQ) have merit, but this is rubbish!
Please describe a Linux solution that replaces AD and Exchange. The only caveat here is that it has to do everything that these do, specifically with regards to single management point for all of your staff data.
I'd really love to do this, but a number of BBC channels are not carried over the analog signal in my area. This means hooking my Sky box up to my computer, and I have _NEVER_ found a reliable way to do this.
If I remember right, they got cuter than that... They couldn't totally ignore the on-line responses, so they counted all of them as 1. That's right, the 1000s of people who sent e-mails and filled out the forms were counted as 1 response.
I used to vote in South Africa. I regularly queued for upwards of 3 hours, and I did that with a smile - people died on South African soil to get that vote, and I feel a duty to exercise that right!
Now in the UK, I never queue for more than 5 minutes. It's a trivial process that takes less than 30 minutes door to door (home -> walk to polling station -> vote -> walk home)
No, it really is a problem with the DRM... I dumped 4 AAC files to my laptop. I chucked my laptop in my bag and headed for the airport.
iTunes wouldn't play those files because I hadn't asked for permission to play them on that particular device. Because of the DRM shit attached, I couldn't just play those files in some other player.
Actually, you do have a very good reason to still be in Iraq. Your lot, with the help of mine made an almighty mess of the place.
I was extremely vocal in my anti-war protests (to the point that my MP knows me by name on sight now:)), but now that we're there, I'm equally adamant that we stay there until we fix the mess we made.
Like the sign in the shop said 'You broke it, you bought it'.
I recently picked up a copy of Fragile Things, and it lead me to write this post
This is why copyright MUST continue to expire, and DRM threatens that expiry. It's all very well to say that the copyright on a work has expired, but it might still be illegal to access that work because it has DRM which is protected by the DMCA and other copycat laws.
There's no such thing as good DRM. Wait until you're 9000KM from home and you try to play something on a laptop that you forgot to ask the almighty Apple's permission to use.

Apple could license that from the CSS consortium instead of reverse engineering it. The DMCA has nothing to do with why you can't rip DVDs in iTunes.
You can't rip DVDs in iTunes because of commercial pressure.

Can you point to any examples of this? I'd buy a song just to test this, but most posts I see claim that ALL iTMS tracks come with DRM.

You'd think with all the articles here on /. people would know the difference between patents, copyrights and trademarks by now :(
The plural of anecdote is not data!
I have a LOT of word documents that lose formatting with OO, or get broken when saved by OO so they don't look like they originally did in word.

Uh, iTunes IS the player for me! It won't work in the player because I didn't ask permission!
