I think they perceive open standards to be inherently insecure (despite several cases of the opposite like ).
There are different types of security. SSL is about A talking to B without C finding out what A is saying. DRM is about A talking to B without B being able to use the message in an unauthorized way. The first is doable with open source (and arguably superior, since you don't have to trust the author as much) while the second is impossible with open source.
So the compiler is supposed to guess which parts of the program can be parallelized and which can't be? What if a programmer, not thinking about parallelization at all, accidentally makes his entire program impossible to break up (eg. by using the same variable for loops throughout the entire code)? To do this, the compiler would have to understand the program's intent, and I think we'll get to 1 million processors long before we get that kind of AI.
The porn purveyors will have to keep their.com domains anyway to get around people filtering.xxx and because everyone already knows about their.com domain. Because of this, the.xxx is simply redundant.
You are assuming that one of my identities is the "actual" me and that all the others are pseudonyms. I reject this view, and believe that 'selven' is an identity on equal footing with the one on my passport. People call me (insert my so-called 'real name' here) therefore I am that person. People call me 'selven' therefore I am also selven. There is nothing inherently more real about one name than the other. So if I set up a public key and start signing all of my posts, anyone who knows my public key can prove that any of my posts was in fact made by me (or with my permission). People who have an established relationship with and trust 'selven' do not need to know my other identity in order to deal with me.
The problem of authenticating yourself many times to different websites is solved by OpenID. The problem of having a secure web identity is also solved - anyone can put a public key on their homepage and sign everything they write. The inclusion of credit cards and electronic health records suggests the true motive for this policy: trying to tie people's internet identities to real life identities. Thanks, but given that the opinions I post here have already earned me 3 'foes' I'd rather not have every potential employer take a look at my Slashdot account.
so damaging the shareholder value does _nothing_ against the employees who screwed up.
No, but if we penalize the shareholders, the next batch of shareholders will be more careful about investing in companies without morals. We really need to realize that investing money in a company means that you're actually financially supporting them, it's not just a casino where you put your money into a magic number machine and it spits out some random percentage, hopefully above 100, of what you put in after a week.
I think what you're saying is that you don't want there to be a populous movement to acquire a pilot's license as that will somehow make flying more dangerous.
It is a somewhat valid point. The number of aerial accidents will increase with the square of the number of planes in the air, so flying will start to require a lot more experience than a current pilot's license if every average Joe is flying one.
ASCAP is asking its members to send donations to help out in a project against the free culture movement. They realize that no single organization alone can finance this 'war', and are trying to spread out the effort among their companies. They are using exactly the same strategy here that open source software like Linux uses - have large corporations that benefit from the project being successful all contribute to it, and allow the entire world to benefit from the result. If they lose, we win. If they win, they will have shown us that we can also win.
For many applications, especially quick one-time tasks, coding takes a lot longer than execution. If you can cut the coding time in half from 60 minutes to 30 minutes, does it really matter if the execution time goes up from 5s to 100s?
Did they use solar power to produce the metal and/or carbon fiber for that plane? If not, then by your argument the plane isn't solar powered either. The helium in the blimp is not being consumed like a fuel source, it's just a structural component like whatever other materials encase it. Helium just happens to passively have negative relative mass compared to the medium the blimp is flying in, which lets the blimp fly.
*As a humorous anecdote, Tanks are a very important component to group play. I like to think of Microsoft as that big guy in the heavy armor who takes all the hits and soaks up all the damage, because it doesn't mean much to him anyways. I also think of Apple as the DPS, and if they keep critting too much with all their successful products, they'll eventually pull Aggro and end up getting all the criticism Microsoft recieves. And I think of *nix as a good healer, silently standing far away from everyone, keeping everything running nominally with their superior networking capabilities and low resource requirements. See? You can relate anything to World of Warcraft. I dare you to come up with something I can't.
All this is useless and incomprehensible. I need a mount analogy.
So don't go out and bash the fuck out of China for this. Yes, they are controlling the Chinese children's freedom. Just like how I wasn't able to buy my own booze when I was 16. There are better things to criticize China for.
Being prevalent does not make injustice less unjust. France survives just fine with its lax alcohol policies, so allowing people to buy booze at age 16 is clearly practical. We've decided that we'd rather lose freedom than require parents to actually do their jobs, and so has China, but that doesn't make it right.

Then vote third party. Pick your ideology:
Pirate Party
Libertarian Party
Green Party
Don't think of it as a wasted vote, think of it as a vote against the current system.

Yes it is. I hate Microsoft and Apple equally, and use Linux.
If I had a girlfriend whose self-image was reliant on one small part of her physical appearance I would be the one dumping her.

And the other 56% will once they learn math.
Meanwhile, 35 per cent of all sick leave is taken on a Monday, and the lowest rate is on Friday, at just 3 per cent of the total.
38% total. Looks like my 40% figure is just about right!
Work avoidance is a very serious problem, guys. Did you know that about 40% of sick days are taken on a Monday or a Friday?
