Except that the *vast* majority of "consumer" photos are taken with a flash of another person or group of people a few meters away.
Hence they are flat and boring anyway. And a digital camera print will look just as good as a 35mm film print.
Plus more importantly, you can preview your photo in the LCD display and take it again if someone blinked. Or you can just take ten of them and hope that one will look fine.
My digital camera has taken 1350 photos since my baby boy was born a little over three months ago. This has cost me essentially $0 (I already had the camera, batteries, memory card, and hard drive, and backup space). The good photos get printed at a local photo place for AU$0.35 each (AU$0.45 each in smaller quantities). How much do you think it would have cost to do this if I was using film? over AU$500 by my back of the envelope calculation. Film was put in the film camera for the baby's birth, but it hasn't even been developed yet...
For most people the bulk of their pictures are of the family at Christmas (the famous Christmas tree at the start and end of the roll being from different years) where the flash washes out any of the benefits of film - and they aren't going to bounce the flash, Grandma's ceiling is probably not white anyway... Digital is simply brilliant for these pictures
I saw one just yesterday that contained a list of important key sentences and phrases from the literature of common charities and political activism organizations.
In other words, if your Bayesian filter accepts those, based on your past decisions, it will detect the spam. If you reject the spam, you reject these communications as well.
So you will block that other spam automatically as well.
Though if you have DOS applications that you need to run, then surely you also have DOS...
(you are allowed to use apt-cache to find such things, in this case apt-cache search freedos, or apt-cache search dosemu, or apt-cache search dos will work. Depending on how much clutter you wish to soft through...)
The computer *is* devoting everything to getting your window to the front.
The application wasn't being used and so its memory was swapped to disk, now that memory is needed again so it needs to be brought back. But before it is brought back some space needs to be cleared which means writing some existing data from memory to disk (which is a slow process).
The solution is simply to have enough memory installed for your working set of applications (which may mean installing more memory, using less applications, or using more memory efficient programs).
A simple reasonableness test. If the patent holder was present in meetings which discussed the violation (say standard setting meetings) then it is pretty simple.
Otherwise during discovery such evidence may come forth.
It would simply add an extra defense to patent violators when they are taken to court.
Obviously it will be possible for the patent holder to make sure they distance themselves from the infringement, but it would at least make the litigation start earlier - hopefully before the infringing technology became common place.
And a court may simply decide "there is no way you did not know about links in webpages" and throw out a case or two.
There are these things called "courts" in which "judges" and sometimes "juries" weigh up evidence and make decisions.
A simple law saying something like (with the conversion to legal gooblydook to try and plug the truck sized holes I'm sure my non-lawyery language has): "If the patent holder knows of a patent violation they must inform the violator within reasonable time."
Reasonable time would be defined somewhere. And informing could be a simple letter stating the patent holder believes [insert entity] is in violation of patent [insert patent identifier] in [insert product/service/idea/thought].
The patent holder wouldn't be forced to license the patent, or file suit, and the potential violator wouldn't be required to stop or defend themselves. It would just be a notice of possibility. It would require some sort of "good faith" clause to stop patent holders flooding competitors/those they dislike with such notices.
A court would then get to decide whether the patent holder intentionally waited for the patent to be entrenched or was in fact taken by surprise. Some requirement to not intentionally ignore everything in the field of the patent would be needed to.
Courts make such judgement calls about motivations and intents all the time, it's part of their job.
So, if I buy a fake passport on a street corner and then use it enter Germany, did I just "crack" Germany's security
Obviously.
And it would be of great concern to Germany. Just as this should be of great concern to the organisers of the summit.
The probably don't want protesters or terrorists getting in just as much as Germany doesn't want illegal immigrants or terrorists getting through its security.
You can't see the difference between this and a club?
One is a venue which wants to transfer money from your wallet to them in exchange for alcohol and a good time. The government says they aren't allowed to take money from people below a certain age, so they don't let them in. If you have a fake ID, then why would the club care that you choose to spend your money on their product?
One is a venue filled with the heads of governments of numerous countries, government ministers, UN bigwigs (like the Secretary-General), and other such VIPs (in some people's eyes). It doesn't want to sell people a product which the government has decreed you have to be a certain age to have, but possibly wants to stop VIPs being harrassed and bombs being planted.
Does that mean Australia can let the next person who needs rescuing in part of the 11% of the planet's surface we have marine search and rescue responsibilities over drown? Instead of spending the fortune it costs to rescue some idiot who thought that rowing around the world was a good idea.
Some twit's stupid installer overwrites MSVCRT.DLL with a borked version that breaks half your other applications? On XP, you're screwed - can't overwrite it 'cuz it's always in use.
So how does the twit's stupid installer overwrite it then?
Can the "twit" do things you aren't competent enough to do?
The only difference is that your parent process exits after forking, whereas in the original it keeps on forking children.
Turning it into a tiny little program that uses up hardly any resources is more interesting than a program that will bring most systems (unless they have process limits) to their knees in seconds?
You have a pretty boring definition of interesting.
In Western Australia, for example, university student's can not be forced to join a union. They actually have freedom of association and aren't forced to pay large amounts of money to an organisation they do not support.
They also have *better* student services, but simple economics would tell you that would be the case.

Just like they surrendered to Bush's "invade Iraq or else" diplomacy...

How is that a bad thing?
Or press charges, or do whatever is done under the copyright laws of a jurisdiction in which the copyright infringement occurred.
Talk is only good when both parties might come to an agreement.
Transfer copyright rights to someone who cares and can afford the legal bills if you can't afford them...
Yes, but someone asked for my sources.list and that's it (of course I replied to the wrong post)...
Since it's a mirror, all the other mirrors will contain the same files, so what does it matter?

It's in contrib.
Who said grandma should be able to install Debian?
Grandma can use Redhat/Mandrake/Knoppix/whatever.
And my USB mouse worked by plugging it in, for what it's worth...

No, but it means they have shown that their fact checking and editing has some flaws, and hence you no longer assume what they claim is true.
If Billy lies to his mummy, it doesn't mean everything Billy says in the future is a lie. It does mean he is trusted a little less.
Drummers, Pipers, and Dancers are imported?
They made in China or something?

Should we believe your opinion or Linus' opinion?
Mmmm... decisions, decisions...
I don't think user support covers such scenarios.
I doubt calling microsoft in order to recover your important non-backed up data after a power failure curropted the disk will be successful either.
User support tends to cover things like: "my email isn't working", "the machine spews an error message at boot", and "the internet is broken".
By using one you wrote earlier...
By writing one on a different machine...
By doing manually the steps an installer would do...
By booting something else that can read and write the filesystem...
By installing some other software that installs a non-broken version of the dll...
So how does the twit's stupid installer overwrite it then?

Suprisingly enough, the company that creates a game cares about selling it.
