Google's data mining, big brother-y concepts are what make its AdSense work as well as it does. You could fight it but its the basis of the real profit gaining business model they have.
On the plus side, this will add yet another small impulse to the slow relentless move towards GNU/Linux. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year, but the days of $300 consumer operating systems are coming to a close.
No way, they will claim its loss of sales due to piracy and the OS will rise higher in cost until it crashes due to no sales when everyone leaves
No offense, but you seem to be bordering on TrueCrypt advertising or even fanboing when you triple post like that. Not that TrueCrypt isn't good, but unencrypted emails are still a present weak point, along with ignorant that send them.
But MS is competitively priced, if you already are running it. If your system is setup as Windows then the cost to learn and use Mac may not be worth the savings on the upgrade.
Really, the last place i want a virus is in my brain from hooking it to a computer, however if it was just an input device and could not have any feedback it might be ok.
This is how it seems to me, copyrights are a good idea handled badly. The commercially operated copyrights are strictly enforced randomly (sounds really dumb), when a open form of copyright gets broken if would be assumed that there would be at least an equal amount of something, but there isn't. The only fix I see would be a complete overhaul, which would be a horrible idea right now with legal systems eating from commercially own copyrights pockets.
It should be just a matter of months before shit hits the fan with all the other ones.
Good luck finding a way to stop all those file hosting sites, its getting to be a large business and would most likely just get more small setups if the "big" ones where taken down.
Its a world that has changed more growing ever recently, its not hard to blame them for not catching up on everything. Technology is multiplying its growth rapidly.
However It would be a good idea to keep up on the events that can influence their own reelections and how they are perceived by the public.
As I understand it (I am American and in Texas, far from Canada) Canada has some really bad setup of restrictions on media already since most of it is imported from the US, as well as some tax on blank media since it COULD be used for illegal copies and such, and I would assume there is more BS like that.
Shake up a can and open it: pressurized liquid sprays all over.
Shake up a can, put it in the refrigerator for a hour of so, and the CO2 dissolves back into the water.
Uh, shake up a can and leave it sitting for an hour or so and it does the same thing. The refrigerator just makes it colder.
Actually a hot temp, wouldn't do it. I can shake up a coke and put it on my back porch (Texas in Summer = Hot), it will have exploded when I get home. Room/Refrigerator temps would still allow it to diffuse back out.
My laptop fits on my dash, and I have tested watching a movie with it on the passenger dash turned to the driver. Not a smart move honestly, but I know I could if I really wanted to.
This also allows us to come up with a new method of judging these guys: If Alan Ralsky weighs the same as a duck, then he floats in water, so he's made of wood, so he burns, so he's... a spammer!
Perfect witch hunt logic, but its not a witch hunt if its true is it?
Won't you still have to wait until the rest of the slow people have passed through their line, before the plane can take off? You exchange waiting in front of the checkpoint with waiting behind it. What for?
Since when do planes wait for all the passengers, you already bought a ticket and they have your money. I am pretty sure they just leave to keep the airport on schedule.
Hell, if I was the engineer that came up with that tune, I'd be suing the telephone companies for just the basic ringtone fee so fast...
You would look like an a-hole and get so much hate for a quick buck? I thought that was a bad thing, then again it is a current business model that "works".

It says "(Don't expect anything to work at all)", maybe that applies to the email server too?
The argument making sense is not normally a requisite of it being used, and the mild changes over time are easier to adapt to rather than a huge jump.
I'm guessing the main market here is your C) computer enthusiasts.
Except a computer enthusiast would most likely be running Linux, unless they are checking Wine compatibility or some such good reason.

Hmmm make a secure OS, or put an OS out and then make a security program to secure it with more profit?
I tried to open that file but it didn't work. My norton is working to protect me from malicious files very well thankyou.
If norton was doing its job, it would not allow you to open norton since it is also malicious.

These are the people we entrust with our sensitive information.
You are only as strong as the weakest link, and they should really some really basic security training for every person in an office setting.
Sony would probably do something different but equally lame like lock out non-sony memory sticks in everything that uses them from cameras to psps

Except the version of ScummVM that is under question was still under GPLv2, not GPLv3, they only went to GPLv3 fairly recently.

Just because it works is it really an entirely better solution at all?
"Pirate-hunters" -- you are speaking of course about their age-old enemies, the ninjas?
Is this why we never hear of piracy reports from Japan. I just put two and two together and it now makes perfect sense.
or other obscure interests..."
But I find sports somewhat obscure, does that make jocks nerds to me?
Wait they made a nearly unslashdottable server, that's actually kinda interesting.
