Not that I disapprove in theory, but it's fast getting to the point where I can't really justify turning on anything that draws over 5 watts of power to do any sort of computing, aside from my high-powered CS research.
On the other hand, this is art, so cost is irrelevant.
Not precisely. I remember a story about some malware for Firefox that worked by managing to launch IE. This 'off switch,' while it leaves most of the binaries intact, does prevent you (or a malware author) from launching IE, which is really the important thing. The libraries take effectively no space.
Emacs, Firebug, and Inkscape myself, but the point is well met.
Ok, honestly, I do resort to Photoshop if available. Illustrator also has some better pieces than Inkscape (though Inkscape's basic UI is far better, it does get a little bogged down on the complex stuff.)
It is for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Actually, it's neither. It prohibits an established religion controlling the government. The government of Oklahoma taking a stance against someone, by their own admission based on his religious views, sounds to me like unequivocal church sponsorship of a contrary religion.
Nothing is. And the thing about Google is that if the government contracts out with them, Google is contractually obligated to facilitate data migration should the government decide to switch.
Microsoft has no such commitment to data openness. So sure, we're trading one monopolist for another, but the new one has contractual obligations that ease the transition should a better alternative appear.
Craigslist facilitated prostitution. Just because someone in Chicago is willing to pay to sleep with someone living in Southern Wisconsin does not mean that this event will occur.
Craigslist ensures that anyone in the greater Chicago area has unfettered access to anyone looking to provide these services. This is a far cry from some hooker standing on a street corner, and far easier to get away with.
I tried using a server distro when installing on my mother's old laptop, and it didn't have support for the ethernet pcmcia card. Result? I reinstalled using an Ubuntu desktop cd, which worked flawlessly. apt-get install xdm && apt-get remove gdm && apt-get install fluxbox && apt-get remove metacity and everything was looking much nicer. There's something to be said for everything but the kitchen sink when you're first installing.
Also, the point is, Ubuntu is modular. I can apt-get remove to the point that it's a lean Debian system if I want, but I prefer to have everything working, and then start removing things until things break, rather than having nothing working, and then trying to figure out how to install things until what I need works.
You've been modded funny, but this actually does remove one of the main problems I have with running XP.
It's more a general sense of cruft than anything else though. I like knowing that every piece of software on my machine is there by my choice, not by fiat. The core OS should be just that, a core, and any modules I want, I can load.
That's why I'm probably on Ubuntu as primary for good, but this might make Windows 7 tolerable enough for a gaming rig (though not for serious work.)
Browser media player plugins are completely adequate for playing a video. Flash and the video tag are meant for rich-media situations where the provider wants you to be looking at nearby ads while watching their movies. Here, I just want to view the address, I don't want youtube getting paid for it. Bandwidth isn't cheap, but the government has more than enough to push this out.
Hell, it owns the tubes, it could probably push CSPAN out 24/7 without having any real trouble. (Of course it helps that all of 4 people would be watching at any given time.)
Furthermore, in economic terms, code is non-subtractable. My use of code does not diminish your use of it. It is an ideal thing to put in a communal pot.
Anyone suggesting extending the shuttle program is advocating extending a clearly unsafe and inefficient program.
Instead, we should ramp up production to get the new systems in place ASAP. That it was scheduled with a gap in the first place is just shameful. It may be too late to avoid the lost air time, but I'd say we should try, and pay what we have to. The NASA budget is small potatoes, and incredibly important as we become more dependent on orbital systems.
Google's position in our minds is much more precarious because they only have technical proficiency, not sexiness.
I find Google damn sexy, thank you very much. Google is like that girl that wears jeans and t-shirts, but isn't actually that bad looking, who also happens to be ten times the programmer that I am.
Apple is like the cheerleader who's really hot, but under all that make up, you really have to wonder why anyone would want to take a look under the hood.
Assaulting netbooks would be taking Linux on directly. It's our foothold, and the best shot at knocking down the Windows monopoly. MS cannot directly assault netbooks, that would be the most direct assault they could do on Ubuntu and Red Hat (just re-entering the market.)

I would jump any woman wearing a WiFi browsing device in a belt holster in a second.
Oh, I see what you mean. Nevermind.

Can we actually make that the next poll, just to see?

apt-get remove works excellently.
As do the included drivers.

Just watching the MP4 is ideal...

Whoosh...
This is not about a slew of DMCA-style takedowns.
Everyone has a right to keep defamatory content out of the first 30 or so Google hits on their name. This is just basic.
Obviously, they still need to prove it's defamatory, but it is a problem.
That's why I really want to see Morrowind transmuted into an MMO.
An entire continent full of demigods just sounds like an absolute blast.
By the standard definition, grey goo would be a synthetic life form.
Code is an abundant resource.
Furthermore, in economic terms, code is non-subtractable. My use of code does not diminish your use of it. It is an ideal thing to put in a communal pot.
But still good.

I think they got it backwards.

A rootkit is the very definition of "gaining access to a computer system without authorization."
They quite literally hacked into their customers' computers without their knowledge. How is that not criminal?

Who was the troll that modded this offtopic?
I mean at least if you're modding -1 disagree have the decency to hide behind overrated or troll or something.
Yes, but we used submarines. That's an entirely different sort of thing, and clearly novel. It makes no sense to compare it to ramming with triremes.
I open PDF's in an external window, using Evince.
But then that's Linux...
Of course, you can do the same with Foxit or whatnot. I'll just stick with my system with sane, built-in sandboxing.
Sorry, pretend that blockquote ends at "boxes from viruses."
