Why should I let other people know what I'm doing? It's my business, not theirs.
Besides, the more information you let out about you, the more junk mail and the like you'll get, both email and snail mail. Both are a waste of resources like trees and electricity.
You obviously don't understand gravity. Even the smallest object has some gravitational attraction. It's that gravity is a very weak force (the weakest of strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravity) and requires a lot of mass to be noticeable.
You don't notice even large objects attracting each other because we've got this honking great gravity source beneath our feet. If you took, say, an Iowa-class battleship and a fishing boat and placed them close enough in intergalactic space with no other gravity sources for megaparsecs, the boat will orbit the battleship, just as the Earth orbits the Sun. With two identical masses they will orbit each other or collide.
In fact, gravity *is* observable on Earth: tides. The Moon and the Sun attract the oceans gravitationally. Also the moon's "seas" -- Earth's gravity attracted the lava flows that formed them; there are no matching formations on the moon's far side.
Signing has nothing to do with driver quality. This will ensure that only officially-blessed drivers, regardless of quality will run on 64-bit Vista. DRM is the only conceivable reason for this move.
The difference is that there is no standard for printer ink cartridges. There are standard flash-memory modules and standard music media, but Sony chooses to ignore those standards as a customer-control tactic.
If you buy their hardware, you then must buy the media that Sony either sells you or gets a cut from every purchase from licensing agreements. When you then buy new hardware, you're more likely to buy Sony again to avoid the hassle of converting your data to standard media.
Why exactly do you need to conduct religious ceremonies on government property? Why is your own property, or a confederate's property, not good enough?
Before I'm called some evil atheist (n.b.: I don't consider atheists to be evil or wrong), I am a Discordian and ignorance of the Constitution does concern me, a lot.
ROMs are expensive. I don't have a figure for how much (say) a 512MB ROM would cost, but it would be much more than a CD-ROM. I don't think the idea would take off, because not only would you pay more for programs to cover it, but it's Yet Another Inventive Connector that PCs will have to support, unless they were made to fit in a USB stick.
Hm. USB-stick ROM cartridges./That/ could work, at least for expensive programs like AutoCAD where another $30 or so won't raise notice. It could also be a spiffy way to package e.g. classic arcade shovelware games, like those Atari packs. Just stick them into the USB port and boot from them... if the BIOS were set to boot from USB. Bah.
FFS. This patent is over Microsoft's/implementation/ of FAT, as in the code. This has been covered already in previous Slashwanking. If manufacturers don't want to pay the fee, they can gin up their own FAT implementation or use Linux's free cleanroom implementation, just as long as they comply with the GPL.
I know it's too much to expect readers of this site to RTFA, but still.
An alternative is to do what K5 does. At any time, any user can mod any comment 0 (hide), 1 (discourage), 2 (neutral), or 3 (encourage). After a preset number of mods, the comment's average score is shown along with the comment. Add in a user-configurable kill-threshold, and you're golden.

Because the IE googlebar was in a releasable state first, idiot. There's no reason to wait on the Firefox version to release the IE version.
Because it's in the Wholly Babble that homosexuality is a sin, so it Must Be True.

Pfft. sshfs is even simpler and more reliable, not to mention far, far more secure.
That's "criticize".
Hugs and kisses.
You look like a pretentious wanker when you end your sentences with "..." all the time.
My boss at another M&P shop did exactly the same thing on a board he flashed the wrong BIOS into, and it worked too.

Why is someone's blog entry whining about a random arcade worthy of /.?

You need to install Gentoo!

Dude, questions end with a "?", not a ".". It just looks bad and is bad English.

There /is/ a BSD section (check your preferences), but little gets posted to it, a handful of articles per month.

Unfortunately, most of them can't spell.
PS: That's "morons".
I'd take you more seriously if your sig didn't spam for "free" shit.
