BTW, I would think that loaning your games to friends violates personal and/or fair use and this is why companies are clamping down.
Nope, Right Of First Sale. I have a copy, I can do what I want with it short of distributing new copies. Any system that violates this is arguably illegal.
It's no different than loaning a CD or a book to a friend.
And an Xbox is state-of-the-art? Still, they seem to be selling a lot of them don't they. Last time I checked, when you buy a game cd you are still "paying for content".
Yes, you are.
But that content doesn't go away if MS goes out of business, I can loan it to friends, and get other things on loan too.

Why SSH in?
Just flip to another text terminal, log in, kill it from there.
The prices of software *suck* at MicroCenter for older software. They don't adjust prices. A program I picked up at CompUSA for $1.88 was still $34.99 (original list) at MicroCenter.
The book section rules though. Stuff you won't find anywhere else except online.
Bad documentation? Follow everything in the "Designed for Windows" document when coding and you'll be fine. There are no "reasonable shortcuts" when coding user seperation and privileges.

Moot point, since *all* material is copyrighted.
New releases are sucking up $50 of my paycheck every time and it can only get worse.
So exercise a little restraint and wait.
Do you really need everything the day or week it comes out? Wait and save 20 or 30 bucks.

I don't think so.
Remember, there are stupid people suing their banks because they got phished.
Being a developer myself, there's nothing more insulting than people taking your hard work for granted.
True, but deoesn't deleting $HOME make you guilty of exactly the same offense?
The shell: flaw (it exists in far more than FireFox, Word has the same flaw for example)
There's an xpi that disables it, and I think >=0.9.2 has the fix.
We want games to be realistic, right?
No. Part of the reason I play games is to get away from reality. Why do I want reality to intrude?
Except the theaters don't get much, if any of the ticket revenue. It's all concessions.
It's not

Someone can get sufficient info to be on your network and read the packets in less than an hour.
As for security, how would a Windows box be hit by much of anything behind a decent firewall?
Then you can't let laptops on the network either, since something infected could then be behind the firewall broadcasting away.
Decode the first three encoded characters. If the first two are MZ, don't deliver the attachment. Don't worry about the name.

Should crimminals have a right to privacy?
Guess what. In the US Criminals do, law abiding citizens don't (cf Hibel case)
So post the documents in this thread.
I thought corporations are considered persons in other areas of the law. Why not here?
The interesting thing is Radio Shack stopped the process, saying it was too annoying to customers.
Yet now even more places ask.
Neither do GPF/IPF the equivalent of segfaults and core dumps.
Now, can you kernel panic without rebooting?
You're assuming that it's that blatant.
Some e-bay scams are ebay-update.com for example. Easy enough to see how someone could take that for real.
You're assuming that the phish is attempting to turn your computer into a zombie.
Someone else having your credit card # and SSN without owning your computer is still a problem for you, no matter what your platform.
Again, this doesn't relate to GTA3.. being lost in GTA3 and working your way out of somewhere is most of the fun.
Not when the place you are working your way *to* is the save point.
