Ramdisks are ideal for laptops, where accessing data in memory doesn't eat battery life as fast as moving around all those mechanical parts in order to do a disk seek. At least in the old days, when you copied all your system software + a couple important applications to a ramdisk, it'd boost battery life considerably.
Under the common law, it was permissible for police to use deadly force to apprehend any felon. Since then, felonies have been expanded to include nonviolent crimes, and such a categorical permission is no longer constitutional. How lives could be "in danger" from someone's cracking into a corporate website is uncertain.

It's about the right size, it rolls around the desk, and it has a grey cord hanging out the ass end.
And if it weren't for Tennessee v. Garner, it'd be constitutional for police to use deadly force in the apprehension of such a 'hacker' felon. Scary stuff.
MSOffice isn't being rewritten for the Cocoa/Yellowbox/Openstep framework any time soon. You'd have to implement Carbon on BSD if you wanted it to work now.
Because there's no technical reason why they can't be more anonymous than meatworld ones--only problems with current implementations. If we can achieve happiness but don't bother, then aren't we being silly?
Thought you might want to know. Maybe you were looking for "cellophane", which unlike kleenex or xerox, doesn't have an alternative equivalent in the English language and therefore is no longer Dupont's trademark. It's not enough that a trademark be commonly adopted as a general term -- it also has to be the only term available.
Now we just need solutions for people scattered in dense forest, deep mountaion valleys, spread WAY OUT on deserts, on small islands far from land, or moving about on the roads, skies, and high seas...
We already have them: satellite linkups. And they might even become cost-effective within our lifetimes.;-)
It all neatly falls out from the algebra. Either the DMCA must be struck down on constitutional grounds, or we can expect every decision issued under it to look like these ones.
Because, it'll be released under the GPL when complete. Then, it can be brought to Linux and other free operating systems immediately, and not at Apple's leisure (once a non-Quicktime player is wrapped around it). We need free codecs and we need them now.
A disposable credit card is an interesting idea, but unless it's possible to refill the card (thereby defeating part of the reason for having one), it means we'll have the same problem we have with disposable phone cards: they get thrown away with money still on them. After normal use, there's always a small balance that can't be spent through normal use, and the credit company will stand to rake it in as pure profit.
There shouldn't be a declared venue, and beyond that, Virginia is a particularly odious one, because Virginia passed the UCTIA, which empowers authors retroactively do all sorts of malicious things with their code.
In response to your presumed aspirations of artistic purity, I'd point you to a rather old Marxist/Socialist joke that's been circulating in several versions. Here's one version (with offensive visual dialect):
Seems the Department of Information Services (Ministry of Propaganda) was out in the field, taking "the Revolution" to the people: explaining the fundamentals of Socialism to the populace to bolster popularity. A member of the Department was out talking to a farmer in Siberia...
Official: So you see, comrade, dat it iz de way Marx explained: "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." You understand?
Farmer: (confused) Nyet...
O: OK. Iz like dis: Say a comrade has two cows. Ve take one cow from him and give it to comrade that has no cow. Dat is de Rewolution. You see?
F: Da, Da! Iz good!
O: And if a comrade has two tractors, ve take one of his tractors and give to man who has no tractors. Da?
F: Da! Da! Is WERY good!
O: And if a comrade has two cheekens, ve give one cheeken to man who has no cheekens. Da?
If you'd been reading slashdot for the last couple days, you'd know that the correct procedure for legalizing past development is to ask RMS for forgiveness.;-)
That said, if you or somebody you know has code in KDE whose copyright we really are violating, please speak up and send an email to kde@kde.org so that we may fix the issue. In case of doubt, we have compiled three documents: one listing all modules in KDE and the license it follows[2], one listing all copyright holders in all code inside of the KDE CVS[3], and one with all copyright holders email addresses[4]
Why can't they send an email to all the addresses they have, and post a list of the ones that bounced? Why do they insist on having it be the initiative of the code's authors?
Whether or not RMS is being petty, it would be easy for them to comply with his wishes if they do have all the information they're saying they have.

Check it out.
No one said it'd be cheap. But some people will buy battery life at any price.

Did someone mention rats?
Intro theme song and closing credits. Anyone know where episodes can be downloaded online? (This is slashdot -- to hell with copyright.)

of Four Lads's original. Popular, but hardly innovative.

By calling it a "binary", you're playing into their hands. It may be spam, but it's still speech -- words.
That would be double-plus-un-clear!
His biographical information can be found here. He's just a suit, albeit with a PhD. Nothing to see, folks; just move along.
I was expecting a Fraggle movie. Don't let the man get you down, Wimbley!

From reply #4: It firstly seems dubious to me, that no definition(s) have ever been added for "author" in Title 17 USC
Section 101.
Who are these so-called "authors"? We all know the only ones who count are the owners (read: corporations).
