Usually, they are not asked. They are commanded. Under the authority of a law that does not apply in their country. How would you react if some Chinese group ordered you (as a non-Chinese citizen hosted outside China) to remove a blog entry mocking the Chinese government, because such blog entries are illegal in China. (I was going to use that asian country that has laws against insulting the royal family, but I don't remember the name of the county.)
OSX benefits from a foundation of Open Source software and a userland developed with a centralized control that holds the developer's paychecks.
The scratch-an-itch method of development works great for the kernel, but can get a little messy in the GUI.
That is one reason I think MS could survive doing the same thing Apple did with OSX.
I'm not sure a "Radioisotope thermoelectric generators" provide enough power to run the thing without being too heavy to have a hight likelihood of landing intact. Anyways, it's a 90-day mission. These generators are meant for missions longer than that (Viking and Voyager probes).
They decided that a windshield wiper didn't have a good benefit/cost (in both money and weight) ratio. Especially for a 90-day mission. I understand that the best they could get the wipers to do was smear the dust around (something about static cling keeping it from coming off), so it wasn't going to do much good, anyways.
Occasionally? Continuous is easier to find. Keep it in a drawer. When the EULA comes up, decide that it is a good time to try fixing that keyboard. First thing you should do is plug it in to make sure it's symptoms haven't changed...
No, I won't pay a cent for something I don't plan to use. I very specifically don't want to reward in the slightest or appear in the usage statistics of something I don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole.
MS refund, anybody? (Not to say that is an easy task)
Most folks that get hold of Linux and install it are probably going to be smart enough to open an e-mailed media file with a media player, and won't touch anything they don't know the extension to.
You can change extensions
Linux doesn't care what extension a file has (they are purely for user's convenience). It reads metadata to figure out what kind of file it is and opens it in the appropriate program.
Hopefully, people will wonder why their *.ogg file looks like an executable rather than a movie thumbnail.

Not bad for being someone's first language.
Personally, English is my zeroth language.
Hey, part-time minimum wage is a job, but it least it allows me to do IT rather than asking people "do you want fries with that?"

Unlike Google or Yahoo, the Pirate Bay cannot claim that it serves a larger legitimate and legal forum for free content
O RLY?

I HAVE A CAR!? :-(

I didn't find it.
Yes, but that doesn't justify what the thieves did.
Unles you've got a high traffic/pagerank blog, they wouldn't notice or care because very few people would see the pictures.
Streisand effect FTW!
According to the article, they are still much slower than Wi-Fi.
They used 802.11n. The results are more competitive with b/g. (It might be tempting if you don't want to run cable but want the security)
don't you think that all the people downloading ISOs might have something to do with it?
Most people that can are probably torrenting.

The wind is (somewhat tongue-in-cheek) taking the level of dust from "almost thick enough to grow weeds in" to merely "heavy".
Given the thin martian air, it could take a lot of power to build up sufficient pressure to be effective. Also, see this post.

This thing is cruising around mars...
Not as much as you think.
"As of sol 1736 (November 20, 2008), Spirit's total odometry was 7,529 metres (4.68 mi)."
Anyone have a pool on when it will really stop working?
The way this things are going, that's something best handled here.

It most likely was not the cat's idea to go through this exercise.
Strategic placement of food can fix that.

The issue is that she doesn't want to be forced to buy something that she isn't going to use to buy something she does want.
It's like paying the fees to get a driver's license (or at least state ID) so that you can buy booze.

Send them a four.
Considering where it was found.
Let's do that.
Hmmm. A fossil near the La Brea Tar Pits. Who'da thunk?
Some good projects are just too big to be undertaken by the private sector. See also: Hoover Dam.
