I guess you really don't want to know how many companies out there are still running lots of machines on Win9x. (Even Win95.)
This is what makes the whole argument in this thread stupid. So, Apple is a failure because they don't market new hardware to companies who would rather run Win98 machines?
The second, deep hyperlink, however, did make the content readily available. All the reader had to do to gain access to the article was to click on the link, which does not constitute a barrier to the availability of the material. Thus, C has satisfied the requirements of the first component of publication on a balance of probabilities where this link is concerned. However, the nature of N’s article, the way the various links were presented and the number of hits on the article do not support an inference that the allegedly defamatory information was brought to the knowledge of some third person
He only got off because it was unlikely that anyone actually clicked the link. If his page had more hits, or someone in the court knew about logging referrer headers, then he may well not have gotten off.
Using var in C# still statically types your variables, perhaps you are confusing var with dynamic. I don't understand what you mean by "out of your way"... if you're using resharper, it will give you a handy prompt to convert redundant type declarations to use var.
First, we recognize that police power draws from the credo that “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Second, while this maxim rings utilitarian and Dickensian (not to mention Vulcan21), it is cabined by something contrarian and Texan: distrust of intrusive government and a belief that police power is justified only by urgency, not expediency. That is, there must exist a societal peril that makes collective action imperative: “The police power is founded in public necessity, and only public necessity can justify its exercise.”22 Third, whether the surrender of constitutional guarantees is necessary is a legislative call in terms of desirability but a judicial one in terms of constitutionality. The political branches decide if laws pass; courts decide if laws pass muster. The Capitol is the center of policymaking gravity, but the Constitution exerts the strongest pull, and police power must bow to constitutional commands: “as broad as [police power] may be, and as comprehensive as some legislation has sought to make it, still it is subsidiary and subordinate to the Constitution.”23 Fourth, because the Constitution claims our highest allegiance, a police-power action that burdens a guarantee like the Retroactivity Clause must make a convincing case.24 Finally, while police power naturally operates to abridge private rights, our Constitution, being inclined to freedom, requires that such encroachments be as slight as possible: “Private rights are never to be sacrificed to a greater extent than necessary.”25
Apple is most certainly responsible for infringingly distributing VLC.
Well, that's missing the point. The person who uploaded the binary gave Apple a signed statement that Apple could distribute it. It isn't Apple's job to read other people's license agreements. They brought their own, and someone from VLC signed it.
I think that quantum mechanics can be distinguished from string theory. Your computer probably wouldn't run so fast without an understanding of QM, eg, your computer running is a test of QM.
They mean "seamless" as in, not having to download the PDF file then open it in another application, or waiting for an ActiveX control to load, or once it has loaded, to have different toolbars and graphic styles from the browser, and so on. None of these things are "the main strength of PDF", so there is no conflict at all in removing these "seams". Try looking at a PDF in Safari on OSX some time, it already does all this, PDFs load up just like HTML pages.
You don't even need to lift your left finger to right click. Hold it where it is while you push down with your right finger: as the shell moves down it separates from your left finger and a right click is registered. Holding a finger in place for half a second is perfectly natural.
I don't get it. If they still have the data, why is it so hard for them to write up a script to fix the mistake?
Looks like they forgot how many features their old system had before it was re-built from scratch. For example, they used to support multiple aliases, so that you could have multiple names under one account (a personal alias, one for work, one where you're a 16 year old girl) but the new system only has one profile page per account, not one per alias, so it is impossible for them to merge all the data from the old accounts into the new ones, because it won't fit.
So instead they "deleted" it. Oops.
Would many FSF supporters become Apple fanboys if Apple sent out an email asking it's customers to spam FSF mailing lists with useless support requests? I somewhat doubt it. "How dare they!" would be a good first response...

Just because a message is encrypted when it leaves your system doesn't mean that it remains encrypted over it's whole journey.
If you don't know who owns the certificate, it could easily be a Man in the Middle, decrypting your message to plain text, having a bit of a read, then re-encrypting it using the real certificate. Both ends see SSL, just with different certs. And no way to verify who's is who's.

By "correct", he probably means something like, "has a strong factual basis".
I was thinking that too, but then, what about the donor? Presumably doing them all at once would have given they guy a matching "set".
Their reelection depends on having funds to mount a reelection campaign, hence the $10,000.

Even if he could prove independent invention, that only changes it from wilful infringement to infringement.

TL;DR: The Vulcan quote was used as an example of evil to be contained, not as a guiding principle.

Presumably they do apply in America, though?

Yes

So for the foreseeable future your hard drive will be about 10% smaller than advertised.
Rather, your OS will misreport it's size by about 10%...
It could also be the power supply itself, or a loose internal power cable.
but this was the operating system subverting the security of an application.
