One of the guys in my high school had a motherboard that would actually TELL you (as in human speach over the speakers) why it wouldn't boot up. It even worked when we plugged in a (my) dead CPU. To this day I still remember it telling us the CPU didn't POST. I can't believe all motherboards don't have this, it was like 8 or 10 years ago!
See facebook, that have for years privacy issues, and instead of fixing them they keep getting worse. Now, ask the people that is still there your question.
Sounds like it connects to a server somewheres (probably owned or at least controlled by the WeMo company). I would never buy a home automation system that uplinks to hardware I don't own and control.
It's a university. I can almost guarratee you that they already have a database set up with a "first name" and "last name" for every person on campus. Your email system doesn't need to be any more flexible than the registration/accounting/HR system unless you see them getting upgrades in the distant to near future (hint: those system almost NEVER get updated).
I don't know if I just have a really common name or what, but my college e-mail (which I never use and just auto-forwards to my real email) has a number after it somewhere around 30. I think if you gave people the OPTION of having a college/university email (opt-in), only 10% of the students and 25% of the teachers would even sign up for one and you would eliminate a HUGE portion of your overlaps.
No developer of any kind has been in charge of Microsoft since Bill stopped writing their code. Balmer may have chanted (literally) their name, but they still had no power what-so-ever.
We're not talking about the device IP, we're talking about your router's IP. The MPAA/RIAA doesn't give a shit which device (be it yours, your neighbour's or some war driver's) did it, YOU are responsible for all traffic on YOUR network, according to your ISP's TOS.
You do know that the ISP's keep logs of WHEN that IP was assigned to which house right? All the MPAA/RIAA/whoever has to do is ask who had the IP at a given time.
Linux has the same thing, it just only installs the 32 bit libraries you ACTUALLY NEED when the 32 bit application is installed instead of installing gigabytes worth of useless libraries 99% of users will never use.
library backups
On Linux we TEST the new versions of the software before pushing them out through updates, and that's for ALL software, not just the operating system. Linux also keeps copies of old packages (ex: Ubuntu in/var/cache/apt/) and can be cleared just as easily. It also keeps a bootable copy of the previous kernel installed just in case (and can be selected directly from the boot menu).
What on gnome-3 requires a mouse and keyboard? The GIANT (read: easy for finger use) application launcher and window switcher is activated by a big button in the corner, all the dialogs and menus are more than big enough for fingers and most there is a touchscreen keyboard installed by default that can be enabled with 4 clicks (I've done it myself).
That's the same setup I use from programming them as well. Works fairly well. I haven't tried using a debugger of any kind, but so far my projects have been relatively simple (rs232, lcd, stuff like that).
The material he downloaded was all public domain, meaning he is 100% free to share anything he downloaded. What he did that was wrong was he violated the EULA which stated that the end user couldn't mass-download or use scripts to download.
Essentially he got charged with wire fraud for breaking an EULA he never agreed to in the first place.
"Changing" the copyrighted carrier code doesn't seem to violate copyright, as I understand it
There are two exclusive rights that copyright law gives the copyright holder: The right to distribute, and the right to distribute derivative work (in other words, modifying the code).
No. A book publisher has does not have the right to say that you can't write notes in your textbook, rip pages out of your novel or write a better ending in your child's story book. They have the right to prevent you from distributing copies of such a work, but that is where it ends. In some countries there is a "preservation of dignity" (too lazy to look up the actual name) where a painter/etc can prevent a work from being displayed in a demeaning way (ex: A sculptor once prevented a mall from hanging Christmas lights on his statue because he felt it insulting even though they had purchased it from him), but this is limited to public display and a case-by-case interpretation.

You don't have to trust them all you know, just white-list the ones you do trust.

Holy crap, I can't believe that video was actually used in context!
I got the "joke", but it was stupid in my opinion because satire and parody can still get you in trouble for reasons other than copyright.
In an RGB pallet, where do you see any red on slashdot?

Read your T.O.S. YOU are responsible for all traffic from YOUR ip.
It could be worse. You could be a moose in a conoe going over/through the Bear Whizz Waterfall, after having bit my sister.
Yeah, rabies is a bitch!
Nobody said this was a copyright issue. Try again.
Nope, it's a Canadian football field, so you're doomed like a moose in a canoe.

Even as a union this article wouldn't fit.
Or just allow a blank entry...

To be fair, even full blown DESKTOP windows doesn't even take up half that.
