I'm pretty sure that ripping MP3s for personal use from any source, even analog sources has been legal. If I take a book and scan/OCR it for personal use I'm pretty sure that's OK too. They'd be hard pressed to sue me for showing someone a clip of that scan or someone else hearing my MP3. Now if I start giving out copies of that book or music then I am in violation of copy-write.
but, IANAL, This is my understanding and how I live. I have mp3 rips of all my CDs and I have many OCR scans of books I have bought.
but this is slashdot. Everything revolves around money. Nobody anywhere has ever done anything at any time for anything other than cold hard cash. Except the Government of course.
Unless there are older people that are involved with the same symptoms of the crash but due to their own fault, or age related driving issue, mixed along with crashes related to a mechanical or software issue.
of your list I think SCO is the only universally hated company on this website. All the others have had back and forth discussions as to their good/badness.
but, the ipod is just an ipad so small you can't comfortably browse websites on it. Or read ebooks. Or run apps with more than a couple words on screen at a time.
did you miss the part where companies were going over seas to avoid taxes? Raise it any more and there isn't going to be any extra cash as they move all operations over seas.
depending on the data you want, usually strip size is in the 1-4k range sometimes larger sometimes smaller so while you may not be able to extract an entire database file you can get useful info out of that database.
Experiment for at home: 1. create a raid 0 stripe on 2 disks 2. write a large amount of text to a file on the volume. (like an entire book in plain text) 3. shut down system and pull out one disk 4. restart system and run '/usr/bin/strings' on the raw disk device. (you'll find large chunks of your text)
with this experiment it shows easily that some of the data is still there. If you're trying to recreate images or other things, a lot more knowledge of the data would be required but a partial reconstruction may still be possible.
I know, they keep trying to say it hasn't gotten warmer since 1998 or that there are longer cycles that mimic the warming/cooling cycles as they are. There are even some that think global warming might be a good thing!!! trying to say milder summers in Siberia or Canada might make for more inhabitable and fertile land.
I'd say the control systems have become far more complex in cars than in airplanes or rockets. The problem being that they don't need to have all the redundancy under most circumstances. This is one of the few places though where it's similar to an airplane falling out of the sky. 99% of the time though if something fails in a car's control system it just means sitting on the side of the road waiting for AAA.
As long as there's an excuse to pay off the people that got you into office. It really doesn't matter what that may be. This gets a bump to NASA. A bump to the Auto Unions. A look over here to the power grabbers. And many other ways to distribute favors under the guise of public service.
Apple is in the boat of undead companies. They had a success that got them so much cash reserves that they wont really ever die. Microsoft is also in this same catigory as well as many other tech companies from the 80s and 90s.
As it stands Apple can pay everyone on its staff, rent and standard expenses just with the interest it makes on it's cash reserves. Any successful product is just a bonus.

"Maybe programmers should be forced to look at buggy programs . . . ?"
We did give them all Windows machines.
My butt clinches when i see it so I think my immune system is having the described effect.
Me: Hold on a sec....
root@computer: # hostname zxquvib
root@zxquvib: #
Me: My computer's name is zxquvib (points to computer)
It is a Two Letter Acronym. I don't know what you're talking about.
Yea, gross negligence like this is way worse the deliberate public beheading of Americans.

I have a feeling Japan would have to buy a lot more before the debt was anywhere near their favor.

Google: Don't be evil (and mostly live up to it)
Everyone: Liars you are evil incarnate!!!
Apple: Be as evil as possible (and mostly live up to it)
Everyone: WE LOVE YOU STEVE!!!!
How would I read it at all if it was off?
Because Apple fanbois like you will make fun of me for not having one if I don't go buy one now.

which is why we end up with a duality of society. Drunks and complainers that were able to avoid being killed by a drunk.

That commenter is an AI written in QBasic you insensitive clod!!
funny that the people that posted the original study could say the exact same thing to you.
Toyota testified in front of congress, "We're automotive engineers not rocket scientists."
Congress said, "I know a guy, that knows a guy. Let me make a phone call."
now this.

And by "meaningful statistics" you mean ones that support your view?
