Is it really bricked, or is the OS just disabled? If I build a computer, I own it. If I suffer a case of temporary insanity and install Windows on it, the computer is still my computer even if Microsoft decides to disable the installation.
Because naming an OS after an African word/philosophy is so much worse than naming them after a hole in the side of a building, a specific type of fruit, or an element.
Yes, but if someone tries to create a new Biosphere and call the project "GeoCity", a website about the project will find itself needlessly blocked by filter rules set years ago and were never removed.
That will prevent us from running out of unblocked IP addresses, but it does nothing to aviod being bitten by filtering rules based on a previously bad domain name (like geocities.com).
Drunk driving was reckless driving before we started passing laws that specifically outlawed drunk driving.
No, reckless driving is nothing more and nothing less than reckless driving. That law doesn't care what your BAC is, all that matters is that you are still in control of the car.
My brother would summon disasters from the menus in SimCity 2000 before he could read. I'm not sure how much of it was recognizing the word, but still...
That does NOT mean they are entitled to write a single book or song in their 20s, and then sit on their ass for the rest of their lives.
Entitled? No. But if their work is good enough that they earn enough money to do so in only a few years of copyright protection (J. K. Rowling), so be it.
Similarly, I bought a few DVDs for my daughter, but they show 15 minutes worth of unskippable, not age appropriate ads and then get stuck on the menu rather than automatically playing the content.
I watch DVDs in VLC, and am always surprised when I stick the disk in a regular DVD player and find ads.

In the United States, political correctness has concluded that all human behavior (in a "normal" person) is due to nurture and free will.
Funny, from my point of view political correctness has concluded just the opposite: that free will to commit reprehensible acts is a myth.
It that one of them in the picture?
Dear Aunt...
Miller is saying there is no reason we shouldn't have been able foresee running out before attempting to build so many radiation detectors.
...or are you actually missing some specific function that is provided by add-ons in FF and not provided in Opera?
Last I checked?

Who needs a back door when the front door is wide open? ;-)
How good it Gnash these days?

...your "town hall" equivalent building (starbase) is armed to the teeth. =)
So much so that I used them to defend chokepoints, instead of the Phaser/Photon cannons.
Your question is unrelated to the current topic of discussion.

Not least about the author...

Who cares about beer? I want to know the prices of caffeinated beverages.

They seem to have surpassed Microsoft in their zeal to get your PC infected...
And considering that they have more marketshare than Microsoft, they can actually pull it off.
Should we start making body armor from the hides of kernel developers?
Admin access should be a requirement listed on the box so I know which poorly written games to avoid.
I'd prefer that it be a requirement for getting the "Works with Windows 7" sticker.
One day I hear Linux has great hardware support. It's not like Linux in the past, we even have *BETTER* hardware support than Windows now.
It does.
Linux supports hardware.
Hardware supports Windows.
We grabbed the next 10 unique samples that arrived in the SophosLabs feed...
Not a very biased selection process if you ask me.
