Otherwise, you could argue that no citizen is required to go to the local park, and therefore the local government should be completely free to infringe all kinds of rights within the boundaries of the park.
They do it all the time with public roads.
Driving is a "privilege". Part of the registration fees in Nevada were called privilege taxes, but they renamed them, likely because it really annoyed people (I hated being taxed and having it called that, that just rubs salt in my wounds).
More caffeine -> less headaches -> less taking of acetaminophen -> less liver disease.
Alcohol + acetaminophen is dangerous, alcohol induces CYP 2E1 which converts acetaminophen into a heptotoxin (NAPQI) which depletes glutathione, which causes liver damage.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine stops the liver damage too, it is used as a antidote to acetaminophen overdose.
You apparently are on a watch list (Yellow), not a no-fly list (Red). Most people are neither (Green).
Green: Usual security Yellow: More intense security. (more than just the tape on shoes thing, too). Red: You would be denied access to any flight, 100% of the time.
When will they figure out that TERRORISTS ARE NOT STUPID?
They aren't?
If you were a terrorist, would you drive 90 mph in a 65 mph zone 2 days before planning to fly a plane into a skyscraper?
One of the 9/11 hijackers actually did!!
If we had better data mining and linking, when he was pulled over (he was a known terrorist) we could've stopped the September 11th attacks from ever happening.
The law allows DRM, but makes it illegal to circumvent.
Like a cat and mouse game, but where the mouse is shot by a big elephant (the gov't) if it moves.
Of course, the mouse gets eaten by the cat or shot by the elephant - can't say it is a fair setup.
The law allows DRM, doesn't require it to allow fair use, and by making it illegal to circumvent even for otherwise legal purposes, makes DRM systems have the force of law. The DRM system is not just a technical obstacle, but a de facto piece of private legislation, which has been given the power to make otherwise legal acts illegal and actually does so, and the gov't enforces it.
The market and technical solution to DRM would include circumvention technology, but this is outlawed by the DMCA.
So much for the market when it is illegal to compete. Heck even a 3rd party printer cartridge company got sued for circumventing the printer's proprietary lockout of 3rd party products. Would you want it to be a felony to by aftermarket parts for your car too?
As long as the DMCA exists, there will need to be action against, including anti-DRM clauses in free software - perhaps make it so those clauses only exist while circumvention is illegal - or say in the software license that if someone uses the code in a DRM system, they automatically authorize under the DMCA any actions to access and copy the content, unless those actions are infringing.
Then the license will only be undoing the DMCA DRM provisions, and they can legally still have DRM and still play cat and mouse with DRM vs anti-DRM technologies. Except now the mouse (us) is allowed to run from them.
The GPL is needed to prevent harm from copyright, the new anti-DRM provisions (in some form) are needed to prevent harm from the DMCA.
Allowing the content cartels to use the government to prosecute actions which used to be legal (fair use, part of the what is needed to keep copyright a fair balance and thus constitutional) is merchantalism and fascism, not capitalism.

1. 3x the price for hardware
2. vendor lock-in
3. vendor lawsuits
4. Linux is faster and has better hardware support than BSD based UNIX systems
Even root is restricted.
ln -d (to hard link a directory) won't work on Linux even as root.
Unless he IS Homeland Security.
knowing how people react to something which could be perceived as a threat is something the government (rightfully) would like to know.

what the aircraft's attitude is
Given that you're in combat, the attitude is likely to be hostile.
They can't even get a 4 GHz chip.
I don't want multiple cores, etc.
More GHz and I can use time slicing to run more programs in parallel.
Multiple cores don't help with non-parallelizable problems.
Or $72/gallon for the Apple approved helium.
Mac users are used to paying 3x as much.
Hopefully there are no points assessed *don't see how there can be).
Insurance rate increases are often far more than any fines.
You can get hard labor for violating the Louisiana law that makes consuming 40 different (non-marajuana) plants (e.g. Amanita Muscaria) illegal too.
Perhaps many or even most laws there have that provision.
properly protected Windows box
What's that?
and it doesn't seem like you're school is using it well at all.
There are likely issues with YOUR (not you're) school as well.
Wouldn't necessarily help.
The DMCA is blatantly unconstitutional, yet still has the de-facto force of law.
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed
Acquire speed? Guess you don't mean this.
Funny you should mention headaches.
Here's why coffee might protect people from alcoholic liver disease.
Caffeine fights headaches (Anacin contains caffeine, btw).

Some users have karma so bad they post at 0 or even -1.
It's not just karma, many people don't want to lose fans and gain freaks. :)
Bad example.
A lot of people (including me) flamed him for Bit Keeper and didn't get modded down.

Usually you are right, but look up "tetrachromaticity".
They already bomb it with spam, viruses and other malware.
Is anything using the Apache webserver technically friendly?
For example, setting virtual hosts working on Apache is not easy.
And Osama Bin Laden will give us the first widescale demonstration of its "usefulness".
Just the kind of news I DON'T want to hear.
Australia, how about we give you $100 billion to make sure this all disappears, OK?
Yes, I do know how much would hve to come from each taxpayer, but I'd gladly pay it to make the world a safer place.
