Perhaps you should read about Beagle2's power from the people who built it before spouting your half-arsed assumptions and feeding your latent Anglophobia. I'm assuming by your "dude" you are an American. You give your country a bad name.
Yawn. Troll. The cameras aren't hidden, they are a combination of security cameras operated by businesses to protect their premises, and those operated by local cameras for traffic control, and where necessary, crime reduction in city centres etc. Yes, in London you are on camera much of the time. No, the cameras are not following you. The police can, after applying to the courts, ask for relevant tapes to solve crimes. Big f**king deal.
If you're working on the project you could at least get the company name right - it's MontaVista. Not posting anonymously, because I used to work for them:-)
So, as an extension of this, does that mean that if you phone up Dell asking for help installing your newly bought copy of MS Office 200x (you didn't get one bundled), they won't help you, because they can't know if you have a valid license (and not one that's been cracked), and to assist installation might be breaking Microsoft's licensing terms?
As a UK citizen, there is no network of video cameras. There are a large number of private video cameras (as in cameras operated by individual businesses for their own protection), plus a number of council-operated ones. They are not linked together, and outside of urban areas there are very few. It's a nice paranoid conspiracy theory though.
Not at all, Tech Support will become a breeze. No emails coming in, and the response to any complaint: "We sent you an email about it, you *have* added our support email address to your whitelist haven't you? Oh you don't know how? We'll email you instructions."
I believe he is referring to the old 405 line service (UK standard is now 625 line), but as the last transmitter was only turned off in the last 20 years or so (my parents have a holiday home in Scotland, the house had a 405 line TV which would occasionally receive a picture when the wind was right etc.) and we didn't receive a new colour TV, this sounds like rubbish.
Outhouse may have a flawed security design, but the most common exploit is not design-related. It's a buffer overflow in the date parsing code. That's something that surely could be eliminated with a so-called 'secure' language.
It's also a problem that could be eliminated with properly written C programs - irrespective of programming language, all data should be checked before being processed.
DNS understands the difference between MX and A records because there is a fundamental difference - email is often delivered to a DOMAIN. A records point to a HOST. Without this you would be required to know the name of the mail server for each domain (just like you need to know the name of the web server - it's just convention that means "www" is usually correct). Also, MX allows for a hierachy of fall-back servers in case the main server is not available. Now, if you add a WX record, what about domains that have multiple web servers, serving different purposes, when I request "domain.com" I get three or four WX records, how does the browser know which one I want (note: this is what happens with MX records, the mail server then sorts by priority and tries delivery). This makes sense for MX records, but not for web servers (or other general hosts).
How can they hold you to any terms of use when you didn't want to connect to their site? Sure, if you then use the search facilities of the web-page they give you, they can have Terms and Conditions, but when they actively re-direct you to an unrequested web-site, nothing they put on *that* page can bind you to anything.
And when we all have flat screen TV's with no CRT, will this mean you'll be acknowledging someone else as the inventor of TV as "Farnsworth invented CRT TV's, not the digital flat type we watch"?
Have you seen it, or are you spouting a knee-jerk reaction because "everyone knows it's polluted"? It's considered one of the cleanest: Comparison of the Thames and the Severn
Each players death has to be reported to each player. So each player will receive 63 death messages (presumably one for each of the other 62 dead players, and one for themself, except the shooter who gets 63 death messages). 63 x 64 = 4032.

Maybe I missed something, but who exactly gets to go around and tell people which version of what language is the standard? Is this one of those United Nations things? Or did I skip a ISO-bulletin?
I think the general consensus is that the country the language originated in gets to set the official spellings. I believe the French spoken in Quebec differs from that in France, but I wouldn't claim that anywhere other than France was standard French
(try to find a Brit who still says "lorry" instead of "truck" and doesn't remember WW II first hand)
Most people I know. We even have a simple tongue twister about it here: "Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry". Now repeat. As fast as you can.
What is more, American English has the original forms
No idea where you got that idea from - English has evolved over many hundres of years from Old English through Middle English to Modern Engllish. Believe me, neither current British English nor American English look anything like original spellings. In fact, the concept of having standard spellings is quite recent (only a few hundred years old).
Having read through this, I think the answer is, suprisingly, yes.
If you pull a knife on me for $5 then you are saying "give me some money or I will try and kill you" - threatening my life. If you defraud the stock market, you may be stealing more, but you are not directly threatening to kill someone. The sums involved may be different, but one is a much bigger direct threat, and likely to escalate more. Now, personally I think those that steal millions deserve jailtime in real prisons too, but if I had to choose between the violent sociopath who threatened my life (and possibly my family's as well), or someone who was abusing a system that is, arguably, abused by those who use it legitimately, I know which I would prefer to do hard time.
You would be correct if the BBC was the only game in town, but then we have a number of independant broadcasters as well. If you watch any of the BBC's output you will find the government has little to do with what the broadcast. In fact, if you are following the news at the moment over here, there is a major row going on between the government and the BBC over who said what over Weapons of Mass Destruction and the suicide of Dr. Kelly.
If it broadcasts over the 88Mhz-108MHz FM band, then yes it would be - this is a licensed airband for radio stations, and is regulated to ensure decent seperation between individual stations. It is currently considered to be "full" with no space for further stations.
Considering some of the files for zebra can be reconfigured when running configure, and others can be specified on the command line, this implies nothing of the sort without any specific examples.

I've got paid for accounts both at work and at home, and it's been working fine. There may be a moral to this somewhere :-)

Because it's not a national grid of video cameras perhaps?
Why is Cross Site Scripting XSS? Or have we reverted to referring to letters by the way they look?
