BackupExec 12 just came out and it seems to have fixed all of the persistent problems that plagued Symantec's takeover (mostly by rewriting the entire damn system).
Perhaps because 'your party' has been long suspected of doing just what is implied. If you are just now seeing the Republican party in need of a wake up call, where the fuck have you been since Nixon?
The idea of paying more for less is why I could and will never make the leap to mac fanboy. The idea that a phone can have 'too many' features is asinine and frankly, stupid to use as a justification for iPhone's shortcomings. A phone/fancy tech gadget that allows the end user to add functionality as needed is far more useful than a locked down phone with a pretty interface (and lots of fingerprint smudging). Call forwarding is usually in a menu option on most modern phones. I have a 4+ year old Nokia 3660 that has it on a menu. (It also has real player for media playing, bluetooth, and Java embedded, with Opera mini installed for better browsing, and i can get 3 days on a full charge with its small, old battery.)
Perhaps you haven't tried using the beefier Opera Mobile on a smartphone, but it kicks the crap out of Safari on the iphone for run of the mill web browsing.
What I really want is a Sharp Zaurus modeled phone, hell if my clunky old SL-5500 had a cell module (with its own battery) I'd use it in a heartbeat, nothing beats it one on it (cept maybe a later module japanese zaurus) for geek level usefulness.
For once I'm hoping the 'free market' nut jobs come out and start railing against this asshole, b/c I'd agree with them. "AOL", "Compuserve" "Prodigy" were all individually 'self contained internets' and the free market destroyed them.
Years and years ago I did a very short stint at CompUSA working as an 'Upgrades tech' (the guys that actually had face time with customers, occasionally get called onto the main sales floor when a rush hits, etc) and somehow ended up stocking the fucking store at the end of each night. Sorry but stacking 21" CRTs on the top shelf of the racks all over the store was not in the job description. All at $7/hr. I will say that it at least made subsequent employers seem a lot nicer when the work at a job actually had something to do with the job description you applied for.
Republicans: We fuck up and we fuck up GLAMOROUSLY.
Democrats: We fuck up but at least you can go on food stamps.
Sure, it might have connotations of the 'lesser of two evils', but any political group will ultimately go to the dark side, so the argument against voting for the evil in the first place will become moot the second you vote for the 'non-evil' politicians.
Sounds like bullshit to me, Target has consistently paid a higher hourly wage to employees throughout the years, but maybe they're getting a little stale and starting to slide like Walmart due to their constant expansion.
Theres always clean room implementation, and theres limits to what a EULA or TOS can enforce. Additionally, someone across the room that looks over your shoulder while you browse google maps is not held to the EULA (btw, ive never looked at a terms and conditions or eula requirement on google maps, so chances are, their enforcement actions of it will be very limited.)
But they represent these 'errors' as facts, ie street angle and location, dead ends, etc, all facts. Verbatim copying is not ethical (or legal in some cases), but if you end up manually reproducing these 'easter eggs' b/c the existing map had them as existing places, you are not at fault.
Well of course my kid is far beyond average, he is a genius in fact, and he will beat up your honor student while maintaining his own honor student status.;)
He's a pretty 'regular' kid, and you'd be surprised just how capable the wee ones are when you teach them early. Theres a reason that young kids have an easier time learning multiple languages. Just because earlier generations didn't have technology like today's, don't assume average kids won't just pick it up and far exceed what a normal expectation may be.
sounds a lot like betamax. br is sony's revenge for the betamax vs vhs debacle. Seems rather foolish that suddenly sony, the company with a long history of shady and excessive 'drm'ing of media suddenly wins by bribing and everyone just rolls on over.
Actually you are spot on, my kid is five, I had to change my bnet passwd when I let him watch me enter it and disable password saving on Steam b/c he started opening counter strike (I walk in teh room, bam, double kill, kid just took to it, hilariously disturbing as a parent). Now I just completely lock teh machine when I'm not at home.
i told my 5 year old my battlenet password on warcraft 3 just to test the waters, the next day, I walk into the computer room and he's on bnet playing tower defense maps. That passwd is now changed b/c he will try to login with it (even when my machine is locked he will try that one).
W.T.F.
Kids can remember passwords, maybe not strong passwords, but words and letters are easy enough. I've seen it first hand.
Its friday, a cisco 3640 routing between VLANs is spiking cpu and trying to multicast to VLANs and across a WAN, dropping packets, and losing voip calls, I've been ready to go home for about 6 hours, and there is no end in sight while cisco engineers break more services on it and I watch the clock spin and rant into/.
Sorry for such a reactive and flame of a repsonse, I'm cranky.
Insightful my ass, you sound like an emo tool. Or just still a developing child yourself. If you are open and upfront and a capable parent, your kids will respect you and not run away and cut off contact the moment they move out. Sounds like you have some bias on this topic, get past it and realize that kids simply dont know wtf they are doing in general, and parents only pretend to know wtf they are doing in general. Have a kid, you'll change your tune real quick, or the kid will be seriously fucked up by the time they are ready to enter general society as an adult. I'm obviously a parent, and obviously have some gray hairs creeping in before 30, and obviously need a vacation.
I think a better question would be how and what can be done differently, on an specific level, not just an answer of " 'the state' is bad and we need to change it".
As a parent, there's no way in a hell a 7 year old will have a lock down to keep mom and dad out, no responsible parent will allow such a thing, and the machine gets taken away if such a practice is put into place.
When your 18, go right ahead and make the 53 ch4R@ct3R password to lock your machine up, until then, accept the fact that you are the child and we are the parent, and you don't get root access or personal and private encryption, you ask the IT department (dad).

Julius Baer already has an American subsidiary, so they are trapped into American Banking laws.
Theres nothing tinfoil about your speculation, its right on the mark.
Personally, I'm all for illegal immigration, Mexican food just isn't the same with a legal immigrant cooking it.

Here let's fix that for you:

Thats why I post on slashdot. Doesn't everyone use /. for stress release? ;)

Actually the age of consent is 15 or 16 in most US states, but many states still allow parents to report it as statutory rape.

I say we proactively block all traffic from the UK to the internets if they do that, theres no point in having internets at all in that case.
You nailed it.
