Er no, because that's not a crash. It's an expected, well-handled exit. But in any case, we're talking about fuzz, not gremlins. File inputs, commandline inputs, network inputs, whatever, you send subtly (or totally) malformed data in and make sure that it's either handled, or it's cleanly rejected -- that it doesn't cause a nasty crash or corrupt program state or run into your "can't happen" code.
For sure. If I was working on cracks for this sort of thing, and I had an agenda, I would sit on any new break as long as the current ones were still working. Then once they expend the effort to patch the current ones, you have some new ones ready the next day. Release a crack early and you give the up the game by letting them counterattack all of your positions at once.:)
Crystoplast / armorplast would be reasonably cool, although really if you think about it it's just another standin for transparent aluminum. Impellers, though, would just rule.
They're a hundred times better than nothing -- but having two monitors makes them even better. In my setup at work, two windows on the same desktop almost never cover each other. Instead, things are arranged by "tasks". Desktop 1 has email on the left and gaim on the right. When I want to be communicating, my fingers hit alt-1. Desktop two has xterms on the left and a web browser on the right (web programming is what I do), so I program here and test there, with one keystroke to hop between active monitors. Desktop 3 has whatever else I want to keep going, like a music player. And that's about all it takes for regular use (though on a single-head machine I will use 5-6 desktops instead of 3-4). The idea is A) arrange it so that things you need to switch between most often are on the same desktop, and B) use them consistently so that changing desktops is as natural a motion as moving your head. You shouldn't even notice yourself doing it. It will make you a more productive man, woman, or small furry creature from Alpha Centauri.
Well actually if you predicted the Yankees to win the series every year from 1903 to 2006 you'd only have a.257 success rate. On the other hand that's a plurality, and more than double the wins of the next best thing, the Cardinals.
Well we're talking about EVDO here, not wired broadband. It's expensive to set that stuff up, and they're selling a lot more bandwidth than they have, in hopes that most people will never use more than half a percent of what's available. I don't expect them to allow anyone to run at peak rates constantly, because it would flood out the network. But they shouldn't be allowed to get away with selling a quite limited plan as "unlimited". Hopefully there's a way to nail them for misleading advertising, but I haven't seen it successfully done in any of the similar cases with broadband providers.
Just because a number of other countries have complete and utter idiots doesn't mean that it's any more excusable to follow the advice of the complete and utter idiots in this one. Patching systems has an economic impact -- a negative one. Not patching systems has an economic impact -- a negative one. And changing clocks has had no positive effect on the economy or the environment. So yep. They screwed us. Again. It's not the worst they've ever screwed us. In fact, it's not as bad as a hundred other ways they're screwing us right now. But I'm not into stoicism. Bitching is warranted.

"Whom will get custody"? Come on. If you don't know what you're doing, take the socially acceptable out and use "who" everywhere -- but don't throw in "whom" where it doesn't even belong. Although -- you can tell whether you should write "he" or "him" in a given place, can't you? Why can't you tell whether to write "who" or "whom"? It's no different.
Actually the wording on this one is a bit fuzzy, I could see some interesting interpretations. It's not a "Congress shall make no law", or any specific "X may not do Y"; it says "The right of the people do be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated". Sure, the identity of who "shall not" is good and implicit in the document, but I find it odd anyway.
I can't drag an image from anything to PowerPoint, for lack of PowerPoint on my linux machine. I can, however, drag an image from Konqueror to OOImpress, and from Opera to OOImpress. Firefox "works"... except that instead of getting an image in my presentation, I get a text block containing REAL useful guys. But evidently Firefox's bug.
And if you use gvim (the vim with gui) then pasting from the Gnome clipboard is as easy as...pressing (no joke)

They must be out of their mind. No, if you use gvim, then pasting from the "GNOME clipboard" (there is no such thing, it's the X selection named CLIPBOARD and has not a goddamn thing to do with GNOME, now or ever) is as easy as Edit -> Paste. Why else would you use the GUI if not to use the GUI? And if you're not using gvim, it's still "+gP (or "+p if you're not picky where your cursor ends up). You don't have to be in gvim, you just have to have vim running in an xterm, and you don't have to use the completely bogus command that you pulled out of your ass because you misread what was on the menu and didn't even know enough vim to realize was completely senseless. (The only command-mode put command is:pu and you more or less never use it outside of scripting; p and gP are normal mode commands. That means NO escape-colon.). Also middle-mouse in gvim or in mouse-enabled vim in an xterm is bound to "*p which pastes from the X PRIMARY selection, which is the one that every other app pastes to on middle-mouse click (likewise, selecting in VISUAL mode copies to "* by default just like any other app does with its selection).
"Linux" doesn't have two clipboards; it has none. X on the other hand, has a PRIMARY selection, a SECONDARY selection (which everyone ignores), a CLIPBOARD selection, and 8 cut buffers (of which usually only the first is used). The "current selection" generally ends up in PRIMARY, and middle-click pastes from there; explicit cut/copy/paste operations use CLIPBOARD. If an app owns a textual selection and it wants to exit (or whatever) it will put its data into cut buffer 0, and a paste from CLIPBOARD will (generally) fall back to that. The problems a few years ago were that everybody didn't agree on these things, so if app X copies into somewhere that app Y doesn't paste from, you're screwed. But nowadays things are pretty uniform, and the "two clipboards" bit isn't a problem, it's just really nice. People who think it's scary can just do all their work with CLIPBOARD using the exact same methods they're used to with windows, and ignore PRIMARY.
It's not my fault that I'm speaking English. And everything you've just said is still horribly confused and wrong. You're discussing one kind of emulator, and one (incredibly limited-scope) kind of virtual machine, and pretending that the words don't mean all of the other things that you're utterly ignorant of. But go ahead, reply, and show the world a little more of what you don't know.
No, in the genral case an emulator pretends to be (or more accurately, "imitates the behavior of") something else. It doesn't pretend to do anything, it actually does something. A foo-emulator is a standin for foo that isn't actually foo, but which is (ideally) indistinguishable from the outside.
Your "fundamental difference" is fundamentally founded in nothing. Emulation isn't necessarily slower -- it just usually is, because that's the way the universe works. And your point about security is just due to the design of "emulators" that you're familiar with -- i.e. hardware emulators, the most common "emulators", which are in fact entire virtual machines.
WINE doesn't emulate a machine; it emulates a set of libraries. It isn't Win32 but it does its best to function just like Win32 (so that the apps can't tell the difference). It is, as such, a "Win32 Emulator" in the general sense of the word.
Well in fact it is an emulator, regardless of the silly name. It's just not emulating a machine, which is what people tend to think of emulators doing.
MPD keeps a database of all of your music, but you can update it at any time from within the client, and (except for the first time) a database update takes about 3 seconds. If MythVideo worked that well, didn't make you go way out of your way to do the update, and didn't recheck everything even if stat() says it shouldn't have changed, it would be just fine:)
(Incidentally if you ask me, MythMusic should be an MPD frontend... but that's a project for another day:)
Though I guess the station would need something in the proper frequency slot to tell the TV where to look. Nope. You can't do the whole terrestrial DTV thing without an "auto scan" sort of deallie. Your tuner scans through the frequencies, checks for signal power, and figures out whether it sees something that looks like ATSC. If it doesn't, it moves on; if it does, it starts demodulating, and listens for a little table that says "MPEG streams 1003 and 1004 are channel 57.1; streams 1009 and 1010 are 57.2" etc. and it stores that information away, then later when you tune to channel 57(.1), it goes ahead and tunes to freqid 32 on UHF, pulls streams 1003 and 1004 out of the mux, and starts decoding audio and video. All within a reasonable span of time, too;)
