Jury nullification also eliminated prohibition (drinking) and may one day releive us of the current unconstitutional form (drugs).
The point behind having jurys is not only to judge the facts of the case (which is the primary duty of the jury), but also to insure that we don't have rampant prosecutors, judges, etc. That we are held to a standard consistent with that a reasonable person finds to be moral (that is, customary) and is in the same social class as ourselves (a peer).
Of course, in the old USA we're all peers - no aristocracies for us! Well, other than actors.
Random passwords, password aging, etc. are indeed the problem. The human element is a constant, and humans aren't that good (these days) at memorization. So all you are doing by assigning a random password and/or aging, is making it more likely (bordering on certainty) the password is going to get written down and sticky taped to the monitor.
Catchphrases are far easier to remember, and simple mapping of words to punctuation symbols and numbers can go a long way to personalizing even a catchphrase. IT should train appropriate passwords, and run crack to catch problems.
Leave it to Microsoft to not know how to write an installer.
Now, now, they noticed you had the "wrong" OS, and were just making room to install Windows. Incompatible files were being deleted, because, after all, they wouldn't be readable when Windows was running! Unfortunately that version of Windows wasn't currently available, but the beta will be available on Limewire any day now.
While I'm sure you are correct, that low-paid employees feel that theft is an "income suppliment" the company "owes" them, I beleive there have been more than one case where the theft has been by highly compensated employees (some particularly famous cases have been in the papers, I think.:)
Bottom line is, I don't think income has much to do with it. Either an employee is ethical or they aren't, and there are some very highly compensated crooks.
A lot of Lisp people still haven't got over the AI winter, even if it was largely their own fault.
I don't think it was the Lisp people who were making the overblown promises of some in the AI community. They just got plowed under due to the association with AI. (I.e., Lisp is a great language for problems as hard as those in AI, so most AI folks used Lisp. But the Lisp community was bigger than just AI folks, speaking as someone in both camps).
anything that remotely involves creativity or innovation is not going anywhere
This is patently false. Motorola has moved significant amounts of their research labs to China. (I was laid off from their domestic human interface labs as they were increasing their investmests in China based human interface labs - not only for chinese language technologies specifically, but more general work in e.g., handwriting recognition, speech, dialogue, etc.).
Doesn't everyone have an iMac G5?

I got mine um, last week, yes, that's the ticket, last week. From my um, er, uncle. Yes, my uncle. I thought everyone had them by now! It's wonderful.
I beleive the pneumatic tubes were separate, not part of the ElectriClerk. Watch the movie again - every office has a tube, only some have the machine (and in many cases, they are not placed together).
I dunno, I have to pay a large price every year to MAINTAIN my car. General annual maintenance sets me back about $250./year, and that's if nothing is actually wrong. That's not buying a new car, that's just the subscription to the current one. Not to mention other consumables from Gas to Tires. Things have ongoing costs, what's the big deal about paying a few bucks for annual software updates. And if I skip a year, the computer doesn't even throw a rod!
Of course, the AP is located in a strategic location in the house using sound RF engineering principals (sic) to determine the location and not stuffed in a dresser underneath the clean socks, and a pie tin, as it would appear the whiners have done to themselves...;-)
Hey wait a minute; I used noisy RF engineering principles too, and I thought the pie tin was an excellent way to make my Airport more directional (keeps the signals out of the neighbor's apartment, not to mention lets my powerbook "rebound" the singal into the collector thingy - um, antenna).
Oh, and you can pick one up immediately at any local electronics store.:)
Well, there you have it. Any player that's actually available isn't nearly popular enough to be an object of my geek desire, let alone make me want to actually pay for it.
And prior to that, they wouldn't vote republican because "republicans freed the slaves." So there were "southern democrats" who voted with the republicans in congress, but were democrats in name.
Give 'em time and I'm sure they'll vote southern communist.;-)
Well, last I checked, the G5 dualy had the higher price-performance ratio in its class (i.e. compared to other manufacturer-built dual processor machines with similar specs), yet beat them on many counts, in particular memory bandwidth.
So that's a reason to want to use the hardware regardless of the OS...
As other posters have mentioned, there are some advantages over having a fully opensource OS, though in many cases (for me), Darwin is enough. That is, I can replace software in Darwin and so modify OS X. I don't really need to replace the UI (and personally finds that it makes me more productive than KDE etc.)
Well, I think I understand, but let's make sure. Some folks think that if they put up a picture, it's ok to see it in the context it was presented, but other folks shouldn't be able to link to the picture alone and make my server serve it up in their context.
Similarly many complaining about deep linking, such as comics.com were worried that their comics were being presented without the context (namely adverts) they put around them. In other words, their site was getting hammered, and they weren't getting the ad revenue. In this case the site is getting hammered, and the owner isn't serving up copies of his/her resume (or whatever).
Now it may just be me, but I don't see much difference between the two. If you are for one kind and not the other, please explain your position...
You know, not that long ago the big scandal was that some sites didn't want links to their 'internal' pages. The idea was the URLs should be "copyrightable" the same as content. Most folks, right here on slashdot thought otherwise. Links should be free - you are after all using the original server and not copying anything (the browser is doing the redirect).
Now folks seem to be arguing just the opposite. Please explain.
Having owned a somewhat curved house (in Chandler, AZ) it's actually quite nice. Yes, you do have to have custom furniture, or just deal with the gaps between your furniture and the wall. Windows end up being somewhat bay-like (tall narrow strips set in at angles) or glass block. Our floorboards were about 8" high but made from MDF and could be curved and glued to the wall to fit.
But all in all, it was a very pleasing, comfortable look inside and out.
Greg Lynn, a leading architect from Venice, California, said. "I believe that aesthetically there's a great potential to make things that have never been seen before."
If anything, windows on IBM G5 class processors will improve margins: thanks to volume on the G5, prices for the components will drop. Apple will be able to take advantage of the lower costs by dropping prices AND raising margins.

1. Say you're going to give away everything
2. Everyone rushes to pay money while they still can
3. Profit!

I think the Dell's 533 MHz FSB is 32 bit as well, while the Mac's 800 MHz FSB is 64 bit, no? That's a big bandwidth difference.

I don't think my HOA would approve of this.
