I'm sure the average software developer is fully capable of adding 4 or 5 years of language education to every person on the Internet... Although, maybe it's easier to quit boring people with superfluous language.
Is their any use to encryption without *any sort* of authentication? If the content is worth hiding, why would you not be concerned about some man-in-the-middle?
self-signed certificates at least mean that if someone tries something, regular users will be notified of the change. If self-signed certificates were handled better by the browsers, anyone could do what you are describing, but with some authentication as well.
"Formal scientists" don't even consider Psychology a science, but "an academic and applied discipline involving the systematic, and often scientific, study of human/animal mental functions and behavior". [wikipedia.org]
I'd love you to provide a well recognized definition of science that excludes psychology. If you just list your favorite disciplines, or base it on the degree of maturity, you fail.
The wikipedia article seems to try to support that argument by stating that some people do "psychology" without the scientific method. I guess that means astronomy isn't a science either because of astrologists.
You really thought Apple wasn't all about lock-in? Apple is the last vestige of the old proprietary hardware + software-stack business model that MS "rescued" us from in the 80's. Ever since DOS/PC, we have had Free hardware, a necessary step to Free software. Apple has always been a step backwards in Freedom.
(yeah, I see the gross oversimplifications above, but the message is the same)
There are PPA repositories for those masochistic enough to want to work with nightly builds. For instance the following repo has nightly builds of Firefox.
It's also possible to add Debian unstable or testing to your repositories, but set the preferred distribution to Jaunty (Package>Preferences>Distribution in synaptic). Then you can selectively install certain packages from unstable.
Sounds like they had an issue with people dumping copyrighted/inappropriate pictures on the site.
I would suggest contacting someone who does make regular contributions (there are thousands of them, you should be able to find one easily). They can upload pictures for you and attribute you as the photographer.
The iPod doesn't have a permanent Internet connection like the kindle -so no. iTunes, on the other hand, is entirely proprietary, links with their web service, and uses their own proprietary DRM technology on (some of?) their music, so it's a foregone conclusion that *eventually* you will not be able to play those songs -it's just a matter of time. The mp3 downloads, on the other hand, can be backed up out of reach of iTunes.
Everybody seems to expect that Facebook has all this information, the issue is with applications/quizzes. By setting up some stupid quiz, you can collect contact and network data on everyone who fills it out. This could be used for everything from marketing research to "investigation" of various social/political groups.
Many of the people with open networks are not "donating access," but simply ignorant of the risks. Gaining access to the WLAN means bypassing the hardware firewall protecting most people's old, unpatched windows machines, windows shares, etc. Education is valuable.
It's a psychological trick. No one will take their word for it that their disks last 1000 years. Instead, people will assume they are exaggerating, but anchor their estimate of the "real" lifetime of the disks to the 1000 year number (even though it's obviously fictitious). Half, a third, even a tenth of the advertised lifetime is still longer than a human lifetime -so people will buy it.
They have to generate power continuously for ship operations, radar, sonar, etc. Sounds like this just uses the generators for slow speed manoeuvres rather than firing up the drive engines.
If you want power efficiency why use x86? This [alwaysinnovating.com] comes in cheaper ($299-$399), has a battery life of 10+hrs (3-5 for the cheap one)
Maybe if children were given a better explanation of the sun, people wouldn't grow up with such a knee-jerk, run for the hills, reaction to anything with the word nuclear in it's name.
Perhapse nothing will change. An even, across the board fee won't change the market dynamics, and instead of paying to get an playlist bump, you simply "forget to cash the cheque."
I'm curious of when that will happen. When bill C-61 (the Canadian DMCA) was introduced, there was way more noise from the general public than I expected. I think the average (younger) citizen is starting to understand what's going on, even if they don't seem to care yet.
If you say you have never infringed copyright (at least how the RIAA sees copyright), you are either a lier or a fool. Ever sang happy birthday in a "public venue?" Ever emailed a colleague a recent news clip, journal article or comic? For that matter, are any of those comic posted up in your office? Do you loan or give away books to friends? do you want to do that with e-books when they become ubiquitous? are you an artist that learned your trade by emulating others? perhaps in public venues?
Like it or not, these people want to make the world a less free place, where only money guarantees freedom and permission is king. File sharing just happens to be the current edge case where the battle is being fought. If they haven't made your life more difficult yet, they will once they have locked up the file sharers and can concentrate more energy on your pet infringement.

If the webmaster hasn't payed up, users never see a damn thing.
Fixed that for you.

Heavy users of Bittorrent, and legal.
My university had (still has, I believe) a 2Mb/s internet connection that was shared by a faculty and student community of about 5000.
Is that even sufficient for email?

so that only someone with the mentality of a 14-year-old would want one
Isn't that the market for muscle cars?? /ducks

It still might make that person work for their ill-gotten gains. My netbook is a pain in the ass to open up.

Half a century of IQ testing disagree with you.

Because they haven't built or sold one yet?
Do legitimate businesses send unsolicited email? I have never seen one.

SoundExchange collects royalties for ALL music -including independent music. Of course, no artist ever sees a dime of it.
