The problem is, having the legacy components existing on a system board slows things down, because you have to have all the stuff there to talk to 16-bit components. That's one of the main reasons to get rid of it.
It has come to our attention that you have used "Bush" and "legitimate target" in the same sentence. You are quite obviously a terrorist, and we would appreciate it if you would report to the nearest detention center, so that we don't have to go through the trouble of tracking you down and shooting you to death for "resisting arrest".
So, you wouldn't mind if I stuck a camera in your bedroom to "monitor" you and your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife having sex? You have nothing to hide, right?
"Under God" is a statement that is offensive to atheists. Under the constitution, they have the right to not be forced to pledge allegience to a diety they don't believe in. The statement itself breaks the separation of church and state, simply by being there. People have the right to practice OR NOT practice a religion, and forcing someone to state "under God" when they don't believe in it is the entire purpose behind the ACLU's position. And don't give me that "just don't say it" crap, that's simply a cop-out.
For your "sample case": Let's assume that instead of the person being a witch, let's say this person is black. And instead of a "christian couple" it's a "white supremecist couple". Discrimination is discrimination, regardless of whether it's related to religious preferences or skin color.
As for service obligation, I can make the same arguement as above.
The thing you've got to keep in mind here, is it's not just YOUR freedom. You share this planet with OTHER PEOPLE, and their right to live life free from discrimination is just as valuable.
That's because there's a lot of stupid Mac users out there (just like stupid PC users) that didn't know the keys to press to force-eject a CD. It doesn't excuse the dodgy copy-protection, but technically it didn't break anything.
If you really believe that, you should see how many notices our abuse department gets from the BSA regarding people sharing programs on P2P networks. Don't kid yourself, the BSA is VERY focused on individuals.
And only the part of if it that the NRA tells them. I'm always amazed how often the NRA just shuffles the FIRST HALF of the second amendment under the carpet.
Someone obviously didn't graduate, and doesn't understand what a dictionary is. Or a spell-checker.
First, it's spelled "Democracy". As in "rule of the people". This is defined in the dictionary as either "direct rule", as in all citizens vote on all issues, or "rule by representation", where the people elect someone to represent them on issues.
"Republic" is defined as "A political order whose head of state is not a monarch and in modern times is usually a president."
So, the United States is a "Democratic Republic", meaning that the head of state is not a monarch, and is elected by the people. We are also classed as a "Representative Democracy", meaning that instead of directly voting on EVERY measure, law, treaty, etc, (which would take too much time to be effective), we elect people to represent our interests and vote for us.
Note this difference. Iraq is technically a Republic, as Hussien is not a monarch. However, You can't really claim that it's a Democratic Republic, since no one actually voted him in to office. And he obviously doesn't have the best interests of "the people" in mind.
I trust you've read his book too? For those of you that haven't, it's fucking great. Gives you some real insight on the Raimi brothers in addition to telling you about one of the best known "working stiff" actors.
Common sense would dictate that you would spend more time controlling what content your child accesses. You can quite easily set up a rule in most e-mail programs to block e-mails that are not from a specific list of allowed addresses. YOUR refusal to educate yourself on controlling YOUR child's access to materials YOU find offensive is not MY problem.
However, if you insist that it become MY problem, then you have no room to compain when I smack your kid on the head to shut them the hell up when they're acting like little bastards in a restaurant and interrupting my meal. Do you have a problem with THAT too?
Because then the University can't take the code and sell it at a profit. It's pretty standard practice that all work you do, including new, patentable ideas, are considered "work for hire" and are owned by the school. "Existing project" and "OSS" tends to mean, "we can't exploit this to get money".
That would be wrong. Sony loses money as well, they just don't bleed as much red as Microsoft. Nintendo is breaking even NOW, but at the beginning, they were loss-leading. (For the first time ever, btw, they've made money on all console sales previous).
There's no confirmation that anything's been fixed yet. If my 97 passes 10 years without a problem, then I'll believe that the caps are good.
On another note, are you terribly surprised? It required an order from the NHTSA to get them to recall the transfer case sealing problem, which still hasn't really been fixed, and is a major health hazard, and they STILL won't admit that they've got a design flaw in the 7-bolt versions of the 4G63 that kill motors.
The problem is when the user isn't told that they are required to change a password on a piece of hardware that is leased to them by another company. I shouldn't simply be expected to do that, any more than I should be expected to change the locks on a car that I rent, or a hotel room that I stay in.
Bullshit. The Dreamcast failed because Sega couldn't nail down the developer support they needed to get games that would lure people away from the playstation. The vast majority of the games that came out for the system were fantastic, and moved a lot of units, but they couldn't get enough titles on the shelves to make the royalties they needed to keep the system in circulation. That combined with the failure of the Saturn and 32X killed them in the hardware market.
Here's a pretty comprehensive article on lock-picking, which also explains how locks work. (After all, you can't really pick a lock without knowing what's in there).
No, there was never a trial. Kevin plead guilty. It took them four years to "decide" what his punishment was going to be. Locking someone up and forgetting about them for 4 years under this pretense is wrong.
Don't get me wrong, if you break the law, you deserve and should expect to have to pay the penalties. But you should also be able to expect to know what your punishment is going to be in a reasonable time frame.
You found a way to do this by just doing a blind copy of the disc, without doing error-correction. The burner should then write the bad blocks on the disc.
Or you could just modify the hardware to break the check, but Sony started releasing games that looked for the modchip (Wild Arms 2 was one), and wouldn't run if it was present.

I'd hate to break this to you, but paying the artist is so low, it doesn't qualify as a "primary cost".
Unless the providers of such goods conspire to act as a cartel, thus illegally fixing those prices, and defeating a fundamental economic mechanism.
Nice troll though.
You're mistaking Slashdot for a news site. Slashdot isn't a news site, it's a discussion board. If you want news, go to the AP.

Freedom of speech and religion could be considered "liberal causes".

Only if the electrolyte hasn't burned out some of the board traces, which has happened. It's a real mess to try to fix them then.

say Windows 98 and NT 4.x will be entering "Non-supported phase" after June this year, Windows 2K even earlier, March.
March of 2005, bozo. Try reading the web sites you reference before posting.

It has to do with the way master key locks work.

Actually, the army is not supposed to be "protecting and training". The protecting part is supposed to be handled by the militia.
