It's gotta be said that Xerox is responsible for most of the GUI's we see nowadays, and if anyone has a right to tabs or anything else in that area, they do, they did a hell of a lot of innovation. But the terms for patents in IT are far too long, and it is kinda unfair that Apple is singled out as well.
OK Bogus patents bring down a company, surely though if those patents are overturned due to prior art after going bust, those previous share holders can take Verizon to court for massive damages?
The usual mac media/hype/blame/pr/fanboy lot are again throwing up a stink over nothing. You are not allowed to Virtualize some editions of Vista, whether it be PC or PC(Mac). Simple as that, its not descrimination, as you mac users aren't Windows users at all it would be stupid of MS to put up extra barriers in your way. BTW this will not count if you are multi-booting, only if your running inside Parallels (on a Mac) or even VMWare (on a PC).
IMHO, your school is totally flat wrong, reckless and closed minded. Do you not think they can/will use these resources for homework?
Rather than ban one possibly wrong/slanted source, you should bring in tabloid papers, broadsheets, encyclopedia's, TV news, history books, and some general political propaganda (WW2? current middle east?) and other sources you can think of. You should then say "There are great resources for learning, but everyone/thing has an agenda, caters for an audience, or is trying to sell advertising space". IE Wikipedia is great, its not necessarily always correct and sometimes very slanted, but so is everything else.
Your meant to be preparing children for the real world, not teaching them facts (which are generally not very useful at all). IMHO a lot (not all) teachers actually don't fully live in the real world.
Is a better iTunes in some ways, worse in others, but its built on an SQLLite backend which is semi-exposed and is _super_ quick on my 120GB collection
Or Ventrillo, loads of servers, seperate rooms, cheap. Sure it's target is a games audience, but in reality its a pure multi-chatroom like VOIP app. You will probably need to back it up with MSN/Mobiles/Telephone etc as it doesn't "ring".
Years ago I had 1gb of mp3's, that disk is long dead. but it was backed up, and when that disk died (very short after) I knew I could recover from the backup, now that 1gb is in amongst the 90gb a few generations of discs down the line in a raid array, when a disk dies, i just buy another one.
What they are infact saying, is if you don't give a XXXX about your data and leave it there, forgotten (something that is common in media companies eg BBC, that tape) you might not be able to re-discover it at a later date. The pay off is that you can take all that old data and it in essence becomes cheaper and cheaper to store as time goes on as disks die and you purchase new bigger disks etc.
They should ditch stable, testing should be given more direct-oversight. Stable is always released way out of date, and all the news is just how out-of-date Debian is. Let organisations that can make decisions take testing and "stabalize" it.
For instance, voice across the entire system (not just in-game chat) without having to worry whether the person is using TeamSpeak, Ventrillo, or Skype.
Nope, but for $50 we can worry about if they are using TeamSpeak, Ventrillo, Skype or Live.
The thing about academics is they often have no real world commercial/industry experience yet feel the need to comment on it.
What's in your car? What's in your TV? What's running your website? Those are just three things that spring to mind that are not "generally off the shelf" yes of the shelf components maybe, but someone still has to integrate it all together. It's just madness to say that as computers become more prolific we need less computer scientists.
I think its more a case of Dev costs spiraling out of control, and game costs being static. As for QuakeWars, surely without an online key the game is worthless, you'll always get cracks etc of course, but in that realm, those people are more demo'ing the game rather than wanting to spend serious time with it. If your spending 5-10hrs plus with a multi-player, net based game you'd have bought it.
It'd be very much better if they started playing music from non RIAA sources. I'd definintaly listen to a station like that if they played quality (as there's a lot of rubbish) stuff that I wanted to listen too.
If you take a permanent job you should stick with it for at least 9 months to a year, you've hardly got outside your probation periods before you've left. You talk about the market like a contractor, if your after increasing your skillset quickly and broadly as well as discovering what you like/don't/good-at/bad-at it's a great way to do it. It'd be harder to take a permanent job later as its slightly looked down upon, but no-where near as much as what your doing.
Until you protect it, its just a bunch of data and can be edited by anything designed to edit it. Suggest you have some technical understanding before making a fool of yourself in public, unless your just trying to spread FUD amongst the stupid.
The interface as not revolutionary at all, its just a standard Rack and Pinion adapted. This can (or could) be found on cars, as well as lock gates (which actually go up and down too) and probably in a million other places too

Who's to say the Iranians won't be more responsible than the Americans?

Actually I don't use Windows primarily. Quite frankly, if your not happy, don't buy it.
Jobsmonster only has to ask his (paying) slaves to bend over, and they will.

Is probably the most mature low power solution, other alternatives are things like MicroATX etc.

I think MS is unfeeling and ruthless, but Apple with the JobsMonster is far worse.

Before you embarrass your boss, make sure your not embarrassing yourself...
BTW It's never good to embarrass your boss anyway.

On a windows box, all drives are shared by default, under c$, d$ e$ etc. They can be accessed using the admin u/p and are there for backup purposes.
Aparently Objective C is perfect and all you need
If your really good, you won't make this assumption. Of course all websites include logo's etc, so the information you actually need is DPI
You'd get such a bad dead arm from this innovation its not true.
