More to the point, I would imagine that they told the other group "try not to look suspicious". And if simply trying not to look suspicious is all you have to do to trick the thing, then it wouldn't be much good anyway.
Especially because you don't have to pay by the gallon for water, and it comes out of the tap COLD (I suspect because it comes from a glacial lake). I have more than one friend who has a water cooled rig that just dumps exhaust water down the drain.
Yes, but no one goes to school for an education, they go to school for a degree. I'm not saying thats how it should be, but thats just the sad truth of this country. I can go through and learn that material, same as a student at Stanford, I could outscore them on the test, but in the end they will get the job and I will be on the street because they paid.
I know you're trying to be funny, but it really *isn't* a big deal. In fact, the GPL itself specifies that
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Copyright (C)
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Not only that, but as you state, no Windows user would think twice about clicking through a EULA. As a long time Ubuntu user, I myself never realized until today that there are no EULAs present.
I don't see why everyone is recommending complicated video conferencing setups.
Just set up apache on each end to stream from your webcam and use iptables to block connections from any IP except the one on the other end. If you don't have static IPs write a little script to update iptables on the other end every time the local IP changes. Then use dyndns so you never lose track of the other end (only apply the whitelist on the streaming port so ssh doesn't get blocked. Then use ssh keys).
Then all you have to do is point firefox to their dyndns address/port.
I have to wonder if people who complain about the GPL (or, for that matter, most software licenses I've dealt with) being confusing have ever actually read it. I read and understood the GPL when I was in 9th grade. Sure it took me a few reads, but any legal document, or for that matter most any book is like that.
Can you give a specific example of language you find confusing in the GPL?
I think, perhaps, people simply are daunted by the idea of "so much" language that all has meaning to be understood, not the actual quality of that language.
I don't know why you call an arms race "simple and boring". To me, having all these people who dedicate their entire lives to something as inane as being able to run faster than other people within the arbitrary confines of some set of rules is what is "simple and boring". Trying to engineer an actually better solution is neither "simple" or "boring".
As shitty as Real Player is, Real Networks isn't such a bad company. Their Helix media framework is mostly open source, and they gave $500,000 to the OSU Open Source Lab a few years back for their work in using it on the OLPC project.
Hydrogen is never light and small in volume at the same time. At least all of the high density storage methods I've seen aren't light.
It is, however, pretty safe for the most part.
My understanding is that the RIAA downloads from their victims, then sues them for making those files available. As opposed to suing victims to whom they upload content.
Thats true of the OS X Finder also, at least as of last time I checked. And considering that is using 100% pre-installed Apple software, that seems unacceptable to me.
Anybody remember that song from like preschool, "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly?". If you go making the snake swallow rats, next you'll have to make robotic cats.
As an Alaskan myself, I can't understand why any Alaskan would want to drill ANWR right now. If you had an investment that had been doing this for the past three years, and you had every reason to believe that it would continue to do so, you would have to be out of your mind to sell now. Environment or not.
I'm sorry, but thats absurd. If the government is trying to figure out what was said on a mailing list, I'm pretty sure they can come up with better ways to do it than trying to get into a gmail account. The whole "list" thing means that the emails are routed through many switches, and stored on many computers. A google server would probably be among the more secure points in the whole system. Why go up against Google's lawyers when you could just trash someone's apartment, or go after their ISP? Or hit up their hard drive for a search when they go through customs?

Are you running windows on that Mac? GR1 was my favorite game ever, but I can't bring myself to install Windows just to play it.

Torrenting over TOR is incredibly slow, I typically get maybe 3-5kbps, as opposed to 150-800 without it.
What is that a video of? I live in America, I don't care to follow it and find out whether or not I'll be arrested.

Have you been to a gas station recently?

My eyes hurt from reading that.

Not to mention all of the copyrights you would violate.

You can do that with M$ DRM too.
Well put. If only you had said that to one of my female friends instead of posting it on slashdot.
Will a 100Ghz processor play Crysis?
