The really trouble isn't technology it is level of comfort. Computers can go tits up for reasons that you don't readily understand or comprehend. When a physical book is destroyed there are indicators or a clear reason for it to occur. This makes people feel they have more control and perceived safety in storing the books in hard copy.
If "they" have the physical machine, they own your data. You have to live with the consequences of relying on that third party. Unfortunately that is how the internet and most of society works. We hope that there are mechanisms and governing bodies in place that are trustworthy and reliable.
The company I work for uses the same system. I think it has been around for years. WOW uses it now if you want the service. The concept is that the server and the card use the same algorithm to create the password which is time and parameter dependent. It changes every 30 seconds so a hacker can't brute force the password from the server.
What I think is neat is that they have managed to put the magnetizing mechanism in the card now. Imagine placing your credit card on the degausser at the market and instead of having to get a new card you just push a button and the card works again. No more getting a new one. Plus all the other possible things mentioned in the article.
Hows about you don't complain about how I spell things and I don't complain how Americans try and force their culture on the rest of the world.

Shouldn't the message be in Russian? Not to nit pick, but I thought it was weird that the message wasn't Cyrillic when I was looking at Cyrillic comments on the article.
I'm sorry, but the bible was not written in English. Your argument of the context highlighting specific words is an utter failure without considering the writing in its Hebrew context. It would be nice to get someone knowing Hebrew to comment on this issue.
Not to out do you, but a prof for one of my classes this year did the exact same thing. The kicker is that the essay for the class worth 40% was required to be referenced using journal articles found on your own time and the last day of class after reading the whole thing she mentions that the 40% exam will be based on class material only. Fortunately, I had not filled out the course evaluation yet. I heard latter on that some people went and talked to the department head about her, as well. It is definitely a problem that still exists.
No this will be more interesting because it is not the RIAA against the general public. This is the RIAA against a billion dollar portable device industry. I think the RIAA have been getting too comfortable with their position and are going to get a rude awakening when the people they are trying to abuse have the legal and political means to fight back. What the RIAA should do is what Google did and team up with a manufacturer to build a device to their specs.
You are assuming that watching is not a desirable action. Mirror neurons in your brain simulate the actions you view so basically to your brain eating and watching eating cause the same neurological responses. It is a necessary reaction for humans or we are unable to comprehend the feelings that other people have. What is worrying is that society has taboos in it to make us feel that if something is enjoyable it is inherently bad for us.
Maybe the original XP is more lightweight, but it has gotten heavier with the service packs adding features. Your thinking more Vista. It was a pig. Netbooks were popular when Windows 7 was released. I wouldn't be surprised that Microsoft wrote in considerations specific to netbooks into the OS. They seemed more interested in public opinion with 7's release then Vistas.
I think it is a limitation of typing instead of writing that is making it hard for you to see the issue. 21/3 is simply 7 and the other mess becomes 1 using BEDMAS rules. While being witty if you were my student I would mark it as zero because you failed to simplify your answer. Which sets you up poorly for doing harder things like calculus or iterative math. To the article I have never seen () as notation anywhere and with good reason. Letters are clearer and not used for any other form of notation. Whomever is teaching this will be hated by those students once they are in the next grade and realize how they messed up their notation is.
I agree it is sad when people feel they have the right to pirate all games. It is like the flowers that are sold along the country roads where I live. I can buy gladiolas at about 6 for a dollar compared to a dollar each at the local store. The road side ones work on the honour system for paying and I pay every time because I would like to ensure that I don't have to buy them from the store. I have a feeling that piracy would decrease in the same way if the DRM free games passed the savings of not using DRM onto the consumer. I don't think taxation or government intervention would help though.
I think adobe would love to be treated that way. To be synonymous with a document format means anyone wishing to use it instantly wants to have the program your pushing. PDF is not exclusive to adobe. They probably gets tonnes of sales just from people that want to make PDFs and don't realize a free program will meet their needs. It is like saying Windows is a PC.
The big one is having the pool area enclosed and secured so wandering children don't drown. Public Health also takes an interest to ensure the water in the pool is tested. A license is probably the most reasonable way to ensure the pool is compliant. A building permit would simply not do it as the structural condition of the pool is not the main concern.
I think he was attacking the FBI copyright warning at the start of movies. Although I suspect that it is at the consent of the FBI. I wonder what started the FBI to go after Wikipedia though?
You should have purchased a desktop if you were looking for performance instead of portability. You might have spent a grand on the laptop, but not on the computer itself. You have the screen, the keyboard, the trackpad, and all the other features the company feels you should have get subtracted from the money that they have to spend on the computer itself. I have seen my friends do it before so your not the first to assume a laptop doesn't come at a premium.
But, at the same time, I don't want them telling me no, sorry, your lines aren't good enough for our service and I wind up stuck with dial-up.
Bell kinda does the same thing in Canada. When a friend of mine changed apartments the phone line did not support the connection speed he had with Bell so he switched to cable. Bell's retention department called him up during the change and had the balls to ask him to keep his old plan with them when they couldn't provide the service.
Economics is the concept that capitalism can efficiently allocate scarce resources without outside intervention. Video games are not a scarce resource. You can't clearly define the cost of a single unit of a game. I like to liken games to fireworks. In the end they do cost money, but you are never going to be able to control who has access to viewing them. There is no way to quantify the cost per viewer. I hate it though when the publishers are all complaining about not making enough money. They are not entitled to make money. It is not a requirement that the company be successful. The company should live and die by their business model. I should not have to accommodate them or support them through taxes (Before you ask: CD taxes in Canada).

No you picked the wrong job to have. If there is no money being made in the business why go into it? People don't force you to have that career.

I don't get it. Even the word nudity looks sexy. Isn't sexy suppose to be the in thing?

Sure, if by 'self sufficient' you mean 'living in stone age conditions'.
I'm am concerned about what you think Canada is like then.

NASA said WISE completed its primary mission, a full scan of the entire sky in infrared light, on July 17, 2010.
Sounds like a non-issue there.
Ontario's minimum wage is about 10.50 for adults without tips, but it just changed to that this year.

Get a rabbit. I have seen one of those bite heads off.
Sounds like some new software google has been cooked up and he is just waiting for the privacy laws to move to a point where he can monetize it.
