Just imagine if a company makes an embedded device that uses a priated copy of a proprietary RTOS, which in turn stole half its code from GPL software, which in turn was based on BSD code that was stolen from the original Unix now owned by SCOX...
Its not that the quality will suck, its just that the language barrier will lead to miscommunications about the form and function of the giant walking alien mecha.
nono, if it was a non-commercialized military vehicle, it would be a-ok. first thing i would do if i hit it huge would be drop some cash for a military transport truck or maybe a light apc. talk about living like a king... no fancy shmancy hummer, better showing of the powarrrr of military might!
Swank Frank in chicago (1589 N. Milwaukee) does one better, you can smoke a lucky strike, while eating a fried twinkie, while washing it down with a coke.
BlueZ's use of the word bluetooth was in no way diluting the trademark of bluetooth, bluetooth is the factual name of an underlying technology. Saying 'bluetooth compatible' is like saying 'ibm compatible'.
What does anything 'american' have to do with it at all?
And I'm trying to figure out why you wouldn't want a publicly contributed knowledge base of everything supported by the protection of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution?
Section 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each person...
No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.
No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.

Buying something online and having it shipped from a warehouse in california to florida sure sounds like exporting from a state, thus per the A1S9 can't be taxed. on the face it appears fairly straightforward and an easy legal argument to make.
This article seems a bit late and the screensaver angle makes it useless. I've been running colinux as a service on my windows 2000 box for almost a year. I can apt-get anything from a debian/compatible repository...
thats exactly the reason i've recently escaped my cheap-deal-at-insertcomputerelectronicsstore-maxto r buying binge. The 5 year warranty outweighs failure rates. Especially since I try to buy 2 drives at a time these days for data redundancy. Losing 20 gigs of data 5 years ago was bad enough. I shudder to imagine losing 160+gigs of data.
how do you/.'ers deal with redundant drives on run of the mill win2k/xp workstations? IDE/SATA raid card? Software based drive backups/mirroring?
That is correct, the US isn't building any more nuclear fission weapons. Now they are working on much higher yeild FUSION bombs. France has volunteered (and been suckered in) to test the 'power' equivalent of the technology, so if France suddenly disappears (and a big chunk of the UK) one day, they'll probably abort the research.
actually a lab tech came up with the idea 4 years ago but its still pending congressional, security, and ISO compatibility approval. this is a government lab we're talking about, after all.
I can't see why you have a problem with a government service that wastes our taxes but on that finally lets any taxpayer make quantifiable use of said service. Any government services is going to bleed money, a free wifi service has very little overhead after intial hardware investment. A volunteer org would definitely be willing to keep it running (just call your local user groups to get it rolling)
as long as its not livejournal or myspace, then maybe, just maybe, you'll have a chance. unless of course you used her info from match.com to start stalking her and stumbled upon her blog that way.

It is when its part of a suit against a company for monopolistic practices, as is this one.
actually yes, it does, and thats precisely one of the situations in which the source should be available.
You just made a great argument for becoming a lawyer.

uh... unplug the machine and disable eth interfaces prior to generating keys...
I could see this as the future of multi-directional transport.
why not just do it from a $40 20gig ide drive and remove the drive from a usuable system and store just that in the safe?
cheers.

actually this entire submitted news item honest to god feels like a ripoff of my comment posted here a few short hours ago... STRIKINGLY similar.
Cheers.
Portable Open Office 2.0 weighs in at 144mb (unzipped/installed), giving you the entire suite in portable, usbkey usable goodness, while MS Office 2003 Pro requires 400mb. (Email client missing from open office? Portable Thunderbird weighs in a 9mb unzipped/installed)
Portable OO 2.0 w/ODF + Portable Thunderbird = 154mb
MS Office 2k3 pro = 400mb+ (oh and its not portable and requires activation after each install/reinstall)
Cheers.

Just think about it for a while.

how do you
Legal precedent is the deciding factor in most cases.
That is correct, the US isn't building any more nuclear fission weapons. Now they are working on much higher yeild FUSION bombs. France has volunteered (and been suckered in) to test the 'power' equivalent of the technology, so if France suddenly disappears (and a big chunk of the UK) one day, they'll probably abort the research.
;)
But thats just my opinion.
cheers.

cheers.
the universal availability of porn outweighs any of the negatives you allude too.
cheers.
Actually this could even be a case of some Scientologist myth being correct, and that could be Xenu.
Build your bunkers now.
Cheers.
You are absolutely right. After all, it is a governmental institution on a global scale.
:)
Maybe Republicans are on to something...
Then again...
I'm not saying that Democrats or Liberals have clean hands or anything, but to trust Republicans? You are right, where ARE the mod points for "scary".
Cheers.
