You found a vegetarian who just ate a snack that was a little too large and therefore finds that hamburger quite unappetizing. That said, I'm willing to be a bot if that's what you want.
I think what bothers some people is the fact that Apple actually manages to convince a large portion of the population that its products actually are revolutionary...
That depends what you mean by old. Old movies were shot on film, which was inherently higher-resolution than television screens. Hence the better quality brought by Bluray releases. Honestly, I enjoy the fact the Blurays exist in spite of the fact that I do not own a player. It's great having my pirated movies come in a resolution comparable to that of my computer monitor.
IANAL, but I would have to go with the first one. As far as I know, there are no laws against polyamory in the US. The issue here was that he tried to get married under the law. The government doesn't want you to marry two people under the law. If you do it unofficially, they couldn't care less as long as there is no rape or pedophilia involved.
First of all, it's his right to agree with this. Some even more famous minds agree with this. Pedophilia wasn't always a taboo. Second of all, his opinion on sexual ethics is completely irrelevant here. We're talking about Free Software and copyrights. He happens to be an expert in that area, seeing as he kind of invented it. Not to mention that it would probably be his FSF doing the suing if the header files turned out to be an issue.
The age of television is coming to an end. I've waited for this day for a long, long time. Now let's wait and see how long it takes Netflix to start showing ads...
The researchers only tested their methods on so-called feature phones, not smartphones such as Android devices or iPhones. The reason, they said, is that feature phones still are far more prevalent in most of the world than smartphones are, so the target area is much larger.
Ericsson merged its mobile phone division with Sony's as a result Ericsson phones are now labeled Sony Ericsson. They are relatively successful, too. I have one in my pocket right now.
You're completely right. It's Microsoft's operating system, if they feel like shipping out free AV via the update service, more power to them.
People have been complaining for years that Windows is too full of viruses, and now MS is finally doing something about it. The only people complaining are the people who made their money off of the viruses.
I don't think this chip is aimed at you as a home desktop PC builder. It seems more like it's aimed for the netbook or very compact/expensive laptop field. Think about it. What takes up more space? A tv with a vcr on top, or a tv with a vcr built in?
I live in Westchester County, New York, and my ISP is Verizon. I pay $60 a month for 25mbps up/down. I've tested both using a bunch of speed test websites and apparently that's actually what I get. Admittedly it's not as cheap as in Europe, but one must account for the huge infrastructure costs that come with providing fiber-to-the-home in sprawling suburbs. On top of all this I use my internet extensively and have never been capped, and never been reported to the **AA for torrenting, either. Whenever goes down they've always fixed it within 24 hours (even when a branch knocks the cable down right in front of my house).
So, the answer to your final question is more or less "yes," there are places in the US with decent home internet.
Now, time for me to complain about Europe. I'm not European, but I have relatives in France, and I lived there for a year. I've never had a good experience with the internet there. While I was living there I had DSL from "Wanadoo" that went about 50kb/s and claimed to be 20mb/s, it went down if you tried to torrent something and you'd have to restart their special router (to be fair, that was in the country). I also visit relatives in Tours, France frequently, where they have cable internet from Numericable, the internet almost always goes down at some point when I'm there (which is usually only for a week, mind you), and once it took them 4 days to fix it.
That's easy to solve: Use IR to turn on the TV, have the TV and remote couple after they both turn on. This way you'd only have to point the remote at the TV to turn it on.
That's what I thought, so I went and tried the ones on the list that weren't the "Big Five." Interestingly they were all custom shells for the IE Trident rendering engine. Let's see how many years until I bother to uninstall them.
As you said in your own post, compromising a linux box isn't impossible. The code you have isn't all that revolutionary, it's just a demo. Anybody with actual malicious intent would likely know how to make a program like this themselves.
Another option would be to set up the system on your server but not release the source, you could demonstrate the weaknesses of *nix without putting anybody in any real danger.

Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell... I wouldn't eat that thing if you paid me.

In other news, reading Slashdot has been found to produce a lack of empathy in adults...

From TFA:

I just tried it. HTML5 doesn't work with the live streaming (at least for the time being).
Really?
If being solitary makes you dumb, then the people around here must be pretty dumb.
This is the article the summary is actually referring to.
As the project manager for Extreme Tux Racer, I am deeply offended.

Please reconsider. Just because your life left you doesn't mean that people don't love you. Taking your life would be a selfish thing to do.
It's open source in the sense that the source is open. Free to view, and free to use as long as you don't distribute it.

Considering this thing is constantly plugged into the wall anyway, does it really make such a big deal how much power it draws?

Obviously you have never tried running Linux on a system with a ATI graphics card.
It works fine for me... I've never built an nvidea system and ati graphics drivers have always come through for me.
