What about P2P networks like Kontiki, which are used for legal services like (in the UK) iPlayer downloads and 4 on demand? Those provide redistribution of copyrighted material in a licensor-approved manner...
Most 2-D platformers were abstract, you didn't think "Oh, Mario's mustache isn't moving realistically", you concentrated on the game.
When games started moving into 3-D and realistic 3-D, things started to get more realistic. They moved out of the abstract. You noticed that Mario was really blocky, round visuals were rendered as squarish, etc. They felt limited.
Maybe it's just that games have hit the uncanny valley and it's turned out to be more of a gaping chasm?
Would it be much more difficult to have a full-colour RGB display? Why restrict yourself to only five colours (including black), especially with so few pixels?
What legal right exactly does schools have to do a search to begin with?
I believe schools (at least in the UK) are in loco parentis, or "in the place of the parent" during school time. This gives them parental rights and responsibilities over the child. So if a parent has the right to search their child, then the school technically does as well.
Most of these topics can easily be researched and learned without a university.
Yes, they can be researched - but, let's face it: most people either think it's beyond them, think they'll never need to know it, or are just too lazy. The ones who would research it themselves are likely to be the ones who are good anyway.
I'm currently working on a tag-based file system (but it's not stable at the moment) and there are others that have been written, although I don't have any handy links. Part of the problem is deciding which features should be part of the core file system, and which can be done externally.
For example, it would certainly be possible to tag files for automatic deletion with my current implementation - then you could just run a daily/hourly/weekly/whatever cron script that deletes all files with an "expires" tag greater than or equal to the current date/time.
If you press 'i' after you load VI you will experienced a notepad-like editing experience that couldn't be easier. When you are done just press esc then type:x to save and exit or:q! to exit without saving. When you see q! think, "quit damnit".
Vista so far is reporting to be even more stable than any OS, which is a bit surprising.
Er. I beg to differ here.
My first experience with Vista was setting up a computer for my great-aunt. She'd just bought a new computer with Vista pre-installed, and hadn't even opened the boxes. She asked me to set it all up for her...
So a few minutes later, it starts up for the first time. "Welcome to Vista -- please enter your name and a password that you can use to log in". So far, so shiny. Then we move the mouse towards the first text box... and it bluescreens.
Straight out of the box. The sealed box. From the factory. On first boot. You think they would have noticed that...
That's probably true, but I've run into situations where partitioning needs have changed and I have needed to grow/shrink file systems accordingly. I suppose that's fairly rare, and that many home users would use ext4 or something instead. Although the EVMS docs (http://www.faqs.org/docs/evms/whyexpandshrink.html) say that "Expanding and shrinking volumes are common volume operations on most systems." Its table of legal operations is out of date though, as I know that ext2/3 can be expanded online...
But IMHO a major limitation of XFS is that you can't shrink the partitions without dumping them somewhere else and restoring them. The vast majority of other file systems can be shrunk...

Thanks to this open format known as HTML, it's not too hard to build a screen-scraper and get your data back out.
Ah, but you're forgetting that doing so is generally against their terms of service and can lead to your account being suspended or banned.
I can see you doing that, if you haven't already...

Next up, Microsoft Linux!

What if I want a server OS with no GUI that doesn't automatically restart itself instead?
... is wide and blurry these days which, incidentally, is part of the reason why we have binary blogs for wireless drivers in the Linux kernel ...
To keep us updated on their experiences, and the traffic they're receiving? A disturbing thought...

There, fixed that for you.
