It's because it's an Insightful Troll, a definite karma-burner. On one hand, I'm slamming MS with no citations or evidence whatsoever. On the other hand, I don't need citations or evidence as everybody knows that Microsoft's Windows Update supplemental agreements allow MS to remotely install software of their choice onto your computer at any time. It was widely covered a few years ago, with xp sp2 I believe. Maybe the original rollout of WGA. I forget exactly.
Either way,/. knows that trolling is bad and so mods me down, and yet they also know I'm right, so mod me up.
Groupthink isn't confused; It's just that it's not synchronised properly.
Unfortunately there is no system that can eliminate human error, and I'm sure at some point the nurse was told "make sure this shield is in place before treatments".
Why should the nurse be trusted with that procedural requirement? Why couldn't $vendor design their equipment with a simple toggle switch which allowed normal operation with the shield down, and sounded a buzzer (maybe a diagnostic light on the control panel?) when it wasn't locked properly? Rocket surgery it ain't.
As usual, though, all equipment is made by the lowest bidder, and saving $0.23 on a pressure switch and and LED is worth it at the risk of getting some faces melted.
What's wrong with that? Do you think that shows made by the BBC are free? Or that the staff there work for goodwill and free stationary?
Consider all of the shows you watch on BBC channels / iPlayer. Count them over a month, make a note. Check the cost of the DVD on Amazon / LoveFilm etc. If you get less value out of the BBC than buy buying / renting the DVDs of the shows you watch, then you should get rid of your TV aerial. It just makes economical sense.
I watch maybe 9 or 10 different shows each week on iPlayer, including Top Gear, Heroes, Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and other "easy watching" shows when I'm tired. I also catch documentaries which interest me, either on technology or science mostly. Paying for all of those individually would put my expenditure into multiple hundreds of pounds per year.
I don't watch TV as it's not convenient. I do, however, watch TV shows. iPlayer is convenient and good quality; I'd pay for it.
You shouldn't have listened to that Microsoft marketing droid so much. That's not the way Terminal Services works.
By the way, if you're having difficulty traveling between two points due to an obstruction, I might have a construction which will allow you to pass over it unhindered. For a modest price, of course...

That has to be she shortest stub I've ever seen on Slashdot. I wonder if it's possible to say that the stub is small, and the fact that I want to make this comment shorter than the stub, in less words than are in the stub?
I tried a Dvorak keyboard once, but I hated having to take my hand away from the mouse to press W and S when gaming. Much like Linux, I don't think it's ready for the mainstream yet...
You're just one of the folks who has some reasonable protection.
For every one of you (and me), there are five grannies with USB modems plugged straight into an unpatched XP SP2 computer. You and I are not the target.
he low-cost of upgrading to Snow Leopard just proves that you are paying far too much for hardware, not the software that it utilizes.
Maybe the hardware is actually no more expensive than the hardware in any Windows PC, and you pay $600 for the original OS X license, and $50 for each service pack. You can't use OS X on anything but Apple hardware, so they can get away with selling Snow Leopard retail for a loss compared to paying through the nose for the version of the OS a Mac ships with.
Kind of puts "MS Tax to shame when you put it like that, doesn't it?
Plus, drop your phone in a puddle and you lose your SatNav, compact camera, camcorder, watch, document scanner, portable game console, MP3 player, and the contents of the device all in one go.
If the exit node is compromised it can see the destination IP, and clear text message, but not the source IP.
So, collect enough packets at a compromised exit node and you can build a usage pattern with possibility of identification? Using Tor to check email or blog from oppressed nations just looked a little less appealing.
They will all realise the futile position they each hold, stop lobbying to have patent laws further modified to make innovation impossible, and eventually we will have a patent system which acts as intended: To protect innovation from exploitation.
From the stub, it sounds like that would have been only one part of the game.
By your reasoning, a skilled pilot would be good at the game because it has a joystick. But that would leave him at a disadvantage regarding the pedal mechanic... I guess this would be the reason for the study.

heck, more effort was put into the digital TV switch than seems to be going into IPv6 switch
More plebs care about missing X-Come-Dine-Strictly-Dancing-With-Twats In The Jungle-Factor than care about YouTube and 4chan.
Uprising maybe, but thats what good armies are for.
It's against the laws of war to deploy military personnel against a civilian population.
The UN would send them a letter and tell them they were being naughty, or something.
I think I get it, but I'm having a little difficulty with the example you've used... Could you make it into a car analogy for me?

Besides, I only consider it fair
There is nothing "fair" about Microsoft licensing agreements.
Nothing.

In 200 years its highly unlikely that any music made in the last 100 years will ever be heard again
Pardon the intrusion, sir, but a Mr Boccerini would like a word with you about a minuet from his String Quintet in E, Op. 11, No. 5.
You might have heard of it somewhere else.

Nethack on the Kindle would be epic.
Whatever happened to love, secret, sex, and God?
I'm sorry, this is an unacceptable Slashdot analogy.
The use (driving) of a car does not make this a car analogy. Please try again.

Yeah, I can't stop laughing either...
Now we all know that there's "some species of African frog which can change its sex from female to male in a single sex environment."
This might make for some interesting batches of milk.
