I think what he was getting at is that if you get a copy of Windows cheap via MSDNAA, they say in the T&C that you're not allowed to transfer ownership of it to anyone else; e.g., I'm a CS major and I got a free copy of 7 but I'm not allowed to sell/give the disc to even my family.
And how many of your average merchant shipping crews actually have the know-how to effectively use such a weapon? I'm sure the pirates would capture a small supply in short order.
Of course, the lawyers responsible would do their best to hush up the whole innocent parties thing. And once word got out 90% of those implicated would claim to belong to the 10%.
If facebook "exists merely on advertising" but doesn't turn a profit, doesn't that mean that it must exist on something else, too? Such as direct infusions of cash?
"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
Did I miss the part in the article(s) where he said what the message actually was? In plain English? I skimmed them but couldn't find anything. Or is it some binary-encoded thing that doesn't actually have any meaning other than as a snippet of DNA?
He's agreeing with you. The "good, well-developed" thing was a qualification of your statement. Although putting it in a FTFY did come across as a bit hostile.
If I could figure out how to mod something, I'd mod this up. Is there some hidden "how to do common user actions on Slashdot" page somewhere that I'm missing?
Is there anybody else who's really tired of hearing everything on Slashdot get labelled a "zero-day exploit?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but by my understanding *most* exploits are zero-day, which basically means "they haven't fixed it yet." The alternative being bugs that have been fixed but are being exploited on machines that haven't been patched yet?
If this is correct (or close), why do we need to label everything "zero-day?" Can't we just assume that unless stated otherwise?"
Slashdot Mirror
Because it's soooooo hard for the home user to pick between Home Premium and Pro...
No, the dude and the gal in blue will still find you unless you lose the cell phone.
Holy fuck, what are you doing overreacting to an AC on Slashdot when...um...a car analogy. And not shouting.
Good day.
is it possible someone has been sabotaging it from the inside or even outside?
Well, that about covers all the bases...
All these other worlds are yours...

Woosh yourself
You've just been wooshed pretty hard...think about it.

But you know they won't.

Only at 1024x768?
that occurred to me when I first herd of the big band theory
So I herd you liek jazz musik?

BUT---What if Xenu was human? *head explodes*
Yay causality paradoxes!

PS: I also agree with you both.
If you've been on Slashdot for long enough to think that it used to be better, why have you still not registered?

What part of "under their own power" is not clear here?
I bet Hitler liked pre-paid cell phones, too.
