Isn't it ridiculous how people can have lethal weapons without reprecussions, and some company gets sued above garage door openers...
It's not like you can't use a gun/knife/shoestring for abusive purposes...
The DMCA is beginning to seems like some kind of farse... Correction: already is one.

N-ploid means N sets of chromosomes. Humans are diploid, having two sets. The general term is polyploid for three or more sets of chromosomes. See link for more info (in English).
How exactly are bananas cross bred? Triploid individuals can ce created by breeding diploid and tetraploid variants, that much I know.
So is a fertile variant use to produce these cross-bred variants, or what?
Triploid fruit make sense, since being sterile they produce no seeds, which is all fine and dandy for us. Lots of species can be made triploid (seedless watermelons anyone?), but not all can survive without human intervention, as far as I know.
Most people don't. Anyone doing video or audio stuff do.
I make music in my spare time. All the source files, sample libraries and raw audio of one single track won't fit on a CD anymore, even though the final track will only be something like a five megabyte mp3/ogg.
Storage is like money, if you have enough you don't think about it too much. That way you end up with more time to do what you really want to:)
I have an electronic ID card, which I haven't really found useful at all... I can in theory use it to identify myself in any kind of electronic transaction.
Now, if identity servers could interact with local registries of people already in existance the whole secure, verifiable electronic ID -thing would really be taken to the next level.
Well a worm is a form of a virus, and it is a crime to create one... One would presume that the RIIA would not be stupid enough to try and play a vigilante.

The poor quality of hardware review sites is fortunately something some sites are aware of...
Then again... For IBM keeping it's customers happy is the most important thing of all. Regardless of if that means supporting OS/2 or any other legacy platform.
Beta was better technology, but somehow we all got stuck with VHS... Superior technology can't always win.
Granted, OS/2 is a different story. But in both cases it's about earning ones salary... which is always done by keeping the customers happy.
This is cool, but a system employing a cycling loop of water would be cooler... after all water temperature could be used as an encoding medium, and peltier devices (heat pumps) to control the temperature.
Turbulence could be a problem, but challenges is what's it's all about, right?:)
But the main reason for asking was due to the fact that I was curious how WineX (which is not open source I've understood) and it's license relates in a situation like this...
However, some seem to think I'm a troll, so I'll shut up now;)
Water looks remarkably like ColdFusion... XML or not... I've used ColdFusion for quite some time, and separating logic and content is really difficult.
Zope Page Templates is the fisrt solution I've seen so far which really separates content and code, while enabling editing of dynamic templates in a regular html editor...
Requesting that a user update their browser merely to view your site is bad coding.
Yes, and no. If the user is using IE3 or NS4 there are quite a few features which simply won't work... especially if your coding according to web standards.
Let's face it... old browsers simply didn't support the standards properly.
Currently ther's been a lot of talk about things like the DMCA and other laws which restrict infomation flow in different ways
This all makes me wonder... could it be possible that countries who are more open source avare and benefit less from proprietary software would introduce laws which restrict the possibilities for proprietary software, just as some laws already restrict open source software in countries which benefit more from proprietary software.
Actually, the heat pipe doesn't replace the fan, it just lowers the number of fans used in the system, since the case and processor fan can be combined.
Tom's Hardware has a review of one of these things (not the same model though)... have a look.

I'm not questioning the right to have guns. I'm all for guns in responsible hands. I'm not for ridiculous legislation and abuse of it.
;)
I was using the comparison to illustrate how jilted the situation is with the DMCA. Someone seems to think I was offtopic... so mod me down then

There is... It's called TCP/IP. It can run on Ethernet, WLAN, ATM, GPRS, tunneled through PPP, SSH...
Why reinvent the wheel?
A general purpose physical layer protocol is unlikely though. IMHO anyway.

This is probably far to utopistic though...
Hehe. 'Viree' is the funniest mispluralization of 'virus' I've ever seen. =)

Yeah... should have looked it up.
Then again, I manage in five different languages, I'm bound to mess things up from time to time

These things run on stuff that burns awfully well... So will it explode and cause more damage in event of a fire?
True, from a practical standpoint...

Good point... Nowadays the inter-license jungle is getting more and more difficult to navigate :)
Thanks for the info!
I don't think it's wrong... but according to the law, is this legal? I have no idea myself, anyone?
Is current wireless technology (WLAN that is) robust enough for a backbone? It's still tehnology in it's infancy, right?
Thoughts?

Maybe SourceForge's stats could help in this case... Not the whole truth, but something still.

Working as a web developer I know that getting users to update their browsers is hard, let alone switch browser alltogether...
Unfortunately I doubt the problem as a whole can be solved by switching browsers. Rather I'd see stricter legislation tackle privacy issues.
Mini-ITX is a motherboard form factor, and doesn't really relate that much to what software runs on top of it.
It should run Linux.

Hey, what's with the copy-pasting of my comment? (See above).
and a "heat pipe" instead of a fan!
Actually, the heat pipe doesn't replace the fan, it just lowers the number of fans used in the system, since the case and processor fan can be combined.
