What did you think the fit of pissing and moaning over DRM was really going to affect their bottom line? It's a bit of bad PR they can hand wave as propaganda on the part of baby eaters, pirates and terrorists.
This may shock you, but Sony hasn't crumbled under the weight of the rants about boycotting them yet, either.
Punishing shitty companies is actually quite difficult, unfortunately.
Uh huh. And the computer illiterate aren't going to just run what they're told to as root? or call for sudo rm -rf?
Education is the solution, Securing the OS is important, but you'll never cross that last mile without completely locking up the system unless you can trust your users.
How many times have you seen this story on Youtube? I'd be willing to put money on this being a submission either by the kid himself, or someone close to him. What he did was cool but not at all newsworthy.
I don't mean to rain on anyones parade as I'd love to see more hands on experiments offered to kids but what do you think the chances are that a school could afford to reproduce this and a fair number of other experiments at even $20-30/pair of kids given how their budgets are being slashed lately? There are plenty of excellent experiments which can be performed on a shoestring budget but unfortunately some schools are finding that they don't even have that laying around.
It seems the argument he is making would be more akin to being forced to unlock your toolbox so that authorities could double check you aren't hiding those six missing people inside.
Did you only recently build yourself a set of legs? If so then yes, this walk to the corner store is a baby step towards your marathon. No? Well, I guess it's a silly analogy then, isn't it?
How long were we making the same old stone axes before our tool development really took off? Up till something like 250,000 years ago? Regardless commercial aviation is an odd thing to choose to make this point given that technology has moved forward, it's simply not been cost effective to adopt. Consider the Concorde, not to mention the slow growth of space tourism. This is not to argue for the feasibility or inevitability of a space elevator, just pointing out that there are plenty of older technologies around that aren't really going anywhere generally because it accomplishes it's task efficiently enough.
Yeah yeah, lord it over me why don't you =p
I live in the northern ass end of Canada and pay $129/month for my internet connection(100gb/month $13/gb for additional usage), which promised 25mbps while providing just shy of two, and leaving me with a ping of about 90-150 to a typical server in southern Canada or the north end of the States. I pray this is not the sign of things to come, but we both know Bell, Rogers and co will charge these prices with a grin elsewhere if consumers can be convinced to pay.
Thank you for using Stop and Drop, Americas favorite suicide booth since 2008.
You may find yourself dealing with a competitor who is willing to halve your price.
Another poster referenced the show you're thinking of above. It was an episode of Horizon with the title "How to Kill a Human Being " if I recall correctly.
While I hesitate to comment as I feel I am treading on your grief to do so it really must be said that we will all eventually have to die. Some choose to fight for every last moment that they may spend with their loved ones, others may choose to meet the end sooner than later on their own terms for other reasons, whether fear of a long drawn out ordeal, or what have you. In relation to this I interpreted his comments about elegance to be relative to other potential ends we may face, and a comment on our right to self determination.
+1 For reminding me of that episode, it was quite interesting to see the varying opinions of those involved in the carrying out of capital punishment. If I recall correctly it was an American warden who explained that it was not desirable to him to execute prisoners humanely. Believing instead that they should suffer regardless as part of the punishment.
Sorry but in my experience this simply is not the case. The same family members and friends who can't take the time to learn to protect themselves when online are also too bloody unhandy to level a picture frame, or screw in a curtain rack. Meanwhile my father who is a carpenter by trade and if anything was a bit of a luddite has a pretty good general idea of what sorts of things to look for these days and now educates our family members as best he can. He taught me that there is no such thing as a free lunch and I returned the favor, but that was only possible because he cared to learn.
This isn't rocket science. Think back to your days on the school yard, there was never a mouthier kid than the one who believed he was protected from retaliation whether by proximity of authority figures, older siblings, or whatever.

If I recall correctly, you give the shoestring cut potatoes a quick dump in beef tallow, freeze them. Then fry them again in beef tallow for about seven and a half minutes, taking them out for quick 15 second shake halfway through the cooking time. (I say beef tallow but I believe it's actually vegetable oil/beef tallow flavoring now) Either way, I think the trick is the first step.
Please note I was making an assumption about the GPs own point, not trying to support it. My own opinion on the middle eastern conflicts is not so simple as to be summed up here, I do not believe that the majority of casualties were inflicted by the local forces, and I absolutely believe that it the US forces were in the wrong by and large. All that said, anyone who engages enemy combatants must accept that they paint themselves and anyone near them as a target. Whether or not your fight is just, engaging in a guerrilla conflict will inevitably cause civilian casualties. Doubly so if the battleground is a populated area.

Interesting, Looks like the legal drones in both companies need a boot in the ass.
No mod points though, unfortunately.

Typewriters and monkeys come to mind, heh.

Or live in one of the areas they have a nice strangle hold, like the vast majority of the NWT, for instance.
There is no middle finger big enough.

Might take a bite out of black box trading, which is what I presume this cable is being laid for.
