Isn't knowing how to write an invitation to TERRORISTS? After all, if you can write, you might make instructions on how to do EVIL THINGS, and terrorists will use those instructions to SPREAD TERROR!
Or, in other words, if you outlaw ANY knowledge, then, logically, you must outlaw ALL knowledge, because there IS NO knowledge that cannot somehow be used for 'evil' purposes.
So, seeing as how we all know that EVERY mp3 downloaded represents the lost sale of a CD, shouldn't the RIAA be after this guy for, lets see, 6,000 CDs at an average of 20 bucks a CD, 120,000 dollars?
has accused Verio of censorship and said he configured the mail server to accept and forward e-mail from anyone
So, I'm assuming he doesn't lock his house, or car, because that would infringe upon my freedom to travel?
Christ, my four year old used to use logic like that.
Yup. That's why the same movie in Region 1 (north america) often has more/less/different features than the same movie released in Region 2. It's also why lots of television shows are being released in other regions (say, Angel) but not here in Region 1; they don't want to bite into syndication fees.
Not at all, because one of the things they're complaing about is '0-day' rips of movies showing up on the P2P networks a week before movies actually open.
All of our software would run just fine for our clients if IE wasn't there at all.. almost as if, you know, IE wasn't even part of the operating system.
Well, by that logic, if your app doesn't happen to touch, say, the networking subsystem, it isn't part of the OS? What if it's a console app? Doesn't touch the GUI libs. Ooops, the GUI isn't part of the OS. What's that? App doesn't use the Parallel port bits? Well, I guess that the I/O libraries are unfarily bundled, so out they go.
They were the representitves of their culture *at Columbine*; the culture itself, sadly, is spread across North America, if not the world.
I'm not arguing the validity of Washington's reasons; I'm arguing that they made sense to *him* and that I doubt that he cared weather they made sense to anybody else. Ask yourself, honestly, how would history have recorded him if he lost?
The Columbine kids couldn't come up with a better way to solve their problems. They'd never had any experiance with a differnet way, so they couldn't concieve of one. Who's fault is that? How many times have you been in a park, and heard a parent sternly tell their child 'No hitting!' while whacking them on the ass?
Well, I'll say for sure that the systematic bullying that I, and many others, endured in school (after all, it's TRADITION that the jocks beat up on the nerds, isn't it?) definately took away liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and damn near took away life. So what's wrong with the Columbine kids? By this logic, they followed in the footsteps of their proud ancestors.
Not trying to be confrontational or anything, I just like exploring how a 'simple fact' can be really really slippery depending on context, and on soceital investment.
And yet you have a signature glorifying an armed insurrection against a legal government.
"But, your honor, I was just doing what I honestly believe George Washington would have done, had he faced the abuse and injustice I did. When those kids made fun of me, I saw red...then I saw red coats. Then I got revolutionary on their asses."
We Canadians tend to be shocked and horrified everytime we here about an American nipping off to Wal-Mart(!) to buy guns and ammo.
One day, I went on a business trip to Bostan. I was put off by the bullet proof shield between me and my taxi driver. I was made physically ill by the very large billboard that said 'Giving guns to kids isn't a good idea.'
"Our product conforms to all international standards!"
"In other words, it doesn't work with anything, and you can shift the blame."
"Is there anybody less knowledgable I could deal with?"
"Do you have my boss's number?"
Get an electrically inert liquid (they're expensive,) a cooling coil, and a pump system. Suspend your mobo over a large resivoir, fill place the cooling coil in the resivior, fill with the liquid, and use the pump to draw it up, and let it flow over your mobo. It's like a waterfall!
Or, put another way, Internet Explorer Three shipped with a bunch of code to do things like HTML rendering.
Internet Explorer 4, however, shipped making calls to the appropriate OS libraries, and but would install them for you if your OS happened to be an older revision that didn't include them.
Or is it suddenly wrong to expand OS libraries?
You should get both satisfactory proof that Ballmer lied AND a better-running computer. Usual warning, your mileage may vary...
I will point out that the site is quite upfront in that they don't remove the IE engine, only the executable and various icons and other such resources.
The stated reason for this is that many many other applications expect the core rendering engine to be there, so they can use it. Almost as if it were, you know, part of the operating system.....
You write an application. This application has a library, called foo.dll, which is just good design. Lets you call, and expose, all sorts of wonderful things.
In fact, this is so useful, that other programs start calling it, too. Suddenly you start seeing other programs list your application as a requirement, so that they can get at foo.dll, and all of it's wonderful things.
So, just for fun, you take foo.dll out of your program, and put it directly into the OS. You throw your program in there, too, but it's really just an executable. The real guts are, and have always been, in foo.dll.
What's wrong with that?
Well, generally, the idea is to prevent the demonstration from turning into a riot in the first place.
You see, everybody prattles on and on about 'peaceful demonstrations' and what not, and that's fine; people do have the right to form up into a huge crowd and shout their displeasure. But what the cops know, and what the psychs know, is that it only takes one or two agitators to turn a peaceful crowd into a rioting mob. And the police know that no matter what happens, they're screwed. If they show up in riot gear as a deterrant, they're jackbooted thugs intimidating the crowd. If they don't show up, they were obviously too busy eating donuts to safeguard the safety and property of the good citizens. And the news only ever shows them wading in and cracking skulls; never shows them taking abuse, hurled rocks, and so on.
But if nothing else, it can be used for containment.
Not really. Rioters are advancing down a street. Police slime a section of the street in front of them, put up signs, and making announcements, saying 'This area has been slimed; attempting to travel over it will likely result in you being wounded, possibly quite severly. Go home.'
Why not just write a web app, slap a WAP interface on it (or HTML if your phone can handle straight HTML; the rims can) and control it through pretty much any web-enabled device?

No, just the ones who use the terms 'open source' and 'free' interchangably.

Doesn't it degrade the silicon, though?

Yeah, I do remember it. So what if glibc was suddenly declared illegal, and everybody was forced go back to libc5? :-)
What, like 98lite, which explictly mentions that it's leaving in the core libraries because too many programs rely on them?

Or his direct reports might have nodded, and smiled, and went off and did their own thing. Happens, both for good, and for ill.
RIMs have full qwerty keyboards. Little ones, but they're actually pretty quick once you get your 'two thumb' typing style mastered.
Why not just write a web app, slap a WAP interface on it (or HTML if your phone can handle straight HTML; the rims can) and control it through pretty much any web-enabled device?
