My introduction to classical music was hearing the Moonlight Sonata as integrated into Thexder through the speaker of a Tandy 1000 SL. Admittedly, the Tandy 1000's sound system was unusual and advanced for its time and produced effects and music very different from what we generally remember as PC speaker sound; however, the evolution of PC sound over the next few years followed a different path.
What makes you think the US is any different? We're talking about a nation that has offshored most of its manufactoring industry for the promise of a few cheap, possibly-functional trinkets.
If the Chinese cultural mindset "believes they can get away with [supplying a single] shipment of non-functional crap" it is because this approach is working for them. I wonder who their customers are.
You have wrongly assumed a causative relationship. GP never implied that, and was simply pointing out a correlation which seems well-founded in the Real World.
Using a *NIX CLI does not necessarily teach you to be a security expert, but those people who are interested enough to do so tend to be those same people motivated enough to adopt sane computer security practices.
Do you really believe US naval intelligence wasn't aware of their presence?
I recall reading about how the US military would secure funding for ICBM R&D during the Cold War. It was as simple as grossly overstating both the number of nuclear warheads the Soviets supposedly possessed and the range of the Soviets' own ICBMs. They would then leak their "concerns" to the public and-
L4 & L5 are situated 60 degrees ahead and behind the Earth in its orbit (subtended at the Sun), i.e. each of those points forms an equilateral triangle with the Earth and Sun at the other two vertices.
They are 150 million kilometres away. Even L1&2 are several times the distance of the Moon.
I don't think file operations are as fixed as you seem to believe.
A few days ago I moved a shortcut - just a shortcut - from the Desktop into a folder on the Desktop. This should happen instantaneously, but Vista took a full ten seconds to think about moving the shortcut before it finally proceeded to do so.
As for accountability, you don't need that for messages that were just providing information which the user only had to see...
Accountability is required. Someone saw the warning. Someone read and understood the warning: they complied with it's directive. The company/organisation has the right to know who it was. (I forgot to specify earlier that the entered deatils are logged.)
My initial thought was to enter just a name, but realised people would implicate their co-workers, hence some form of password is required. I don't like the idea either.
... and didn't give them any choices to make.
Now that's just incorrect. They had the choice to heed the incoming warning and alert the appropriate personnel, or to ignore it and accept responsibility for data losses.

Seriously though, I'm not seeing much progress with respect to older processors. FTFA,
Two weeks after the initial R500 3D documentation release, AMD had released an R300 3D register guide. This programming guide concerning their older graphics hardware was previously only available through Non-Disclosure Agreements to select developers.
Well, so far my experience with the open source R350 drivers is lukewarm. They do work to an extent, in that they can run Tux Racer and its forks, but FlightGear remains beyond their capabilities.
I'll throw a few suggestions in here. Flight sims are the best known examples - civilian and combat - but also consider naval sims, such as the Silent Hunter series, and Storm Eagle Studios's Distant Guns and the upcoming Jutland.
Alternatively, have a look at regatta simulators, such as the Virtual Skipper series.
I'm (originally) from a corner of the world that has only recently discovered ADSL. So most of my experiences in installing XP were offline, until about a year ago.
Sasser would gleefully strike the very first time I'd fire up the dialup on a fresh install. I could hear it mock me: Good luck downloading that antivirus, bitch!

Most likely the judge said something like "If [condition] ..." and the jury said "since [condition] is true ..."
[condition] = "she weighs the same as a duck"
Sorry to make light of your argument, but the parallels were too striking to ignore.

You can configure DOSBox to replicate that gorgeous old sound!

While I realise that nothing kills a joke like having it explained...
It's a play on the word "posthumously".

Profit!
Well, okay...
But in that case L4 & L5 are just as far as the Moon - equilateral triangle still holds. They're still not several times further.
Yeah yeah, a nitpick, I know.
"Several times further"?
L4 & L5 are situated 60 degrees ahead and behind the Earth in its orbit (subtended at the Sun), i.e. each of those points forms an equilateral triangle with the Earth and Sun at the other two vertices.

However offtopic it may be... Thanks for showing me that!
Ben Kuchera presents a satirical critique on the much-touted, supposedly causative video games-violence correlation.
Certainly not idle material.

Simply unacceptable.
Let everyone use whatever tool they want.

With respect, I think you may have missed Hal's satirical jab at AMD.
Classic bash.org reference aside, I think the iChoke deserves to be mentioned here.
