Moreover, if copyright law were to vanish tomorrow, so would the GPL--it only covers distribution, not use, of the work and if you don't need its permissions, you wouldn't need it at all. Unless they created some screwed up law to replace copyrights. I wouldn't put that past 'em...
If copyright law did vanish then there would be nothing to stop EvilCo from using as much previously-GPLed software as it wanted, modifying it to buggery (including mixing it with proprietry closed source code), compiling it to a binary and signing it. Then the EvilCo EvilBox(TM) would only run EvilCo signed binaries. Free Software has lost the only thing which stops people abusing it:-(
Moreover, other tretcherous computing platforms could ensure only "legitimately purchased" licensed copies of EvilCo software would run with the appropriate license key. Sure, you could legally copy as much EvilCo software as you wanted since there is no longer any copyright law to forbid it, but you won't be able to run it without a consent form.
Instead of of smugly assuming you are invulnerable to image bugs like almost every other poster you took the time to read the article and determine it was about IFRAME bugs!
I honestly don't know, but assuming you are not viewing the source HTML but Pine's formatted text version of it, would Pine still trigger an IFRAME bug as it formats the HTML message?
Ireland, due to the conflicts, is more ethnocentric than Great Britain
The "conflicts" in "Ireland" are in the _North_ of Ireland which *is part of* Great Britain. The Republic of Ireland (AKA Southern Ireland) (which is *not part of* Great Britain in case you needed that pointing out, being such a fuckwit...) is a different country and doesn't have "the conflicts" because it is an independant "Republic". Quite simple really.
Parent is absolutely correct. Netgear SC101 does not claim to be a NAS.
Why you might want such a small SAN would be different matter.
Also I think it might be mistaken for a toaster and either end up full of breadcrumbs, or you would ruin your HDs by trying to put install them in the two convenient slots in your real toaster.
I think the one significant word that was missing from your post was "oil".
Not wishing to make a political point, but that's probably what a significant portion of the weapons in the world go into guarding (at least are a "deterrent"). I don't expect this situation would get any better in a post-apocalyptic scenario - not according to the films I've seen anyway.;)
Apple's iTunes Music Store, on the other hand, has been very successful. What are their terms? Listen to it all you want on as many iPods as you want, up to 5 computers, and you can burn it to 3 or 5 CDs (can't remember). Most people won't be running into any of those restrictions any time soon (possibly the CD one, but only if you don't have an iPod).
I've easily been through 5 computers since I bought the majority of my CDs. And the walkman I had at the time and its ilk have long since faded into obsolescence. I predict that in 6 years time people will be feeling the pinch of "unrestrictive" DRM and will be pissed off that they can't listen to the content they paid good money for.
Well, probably a good idea in theory, but in practice it meant that if you got a JPG file (for example) from a PC there was no resource fork, so it was just a "simpletext document". Then you had to go find a resource fork editor (which didn't come with the OS) to fix it up. If only they gave it some ability to do a magic/file type best guess it might have made interchange with other systems practical.
Maybe I'm just dumb, but I don't see how you can get something much simpler than a simple, traditional file - it's just a linear stream of bytes. I suppose a single byte, or bit may be simpler, but it's not much use. Surely computers would be even less usable if we all had to worry that my transactional RDBMS was precisely semantically compatible with your object-oriented transactional RDBMS just to swap pics of Lena?
I wouldn't say that POTA was a B-Movie. Certainly some of the sequels were though. It honestly took me a few seconds to work out what the problem was with the headline titles.
Maybe some highschool kid saw this association and found it amusing to write a script to spam the recommendations system and shared it with his 1337 friends.
Does this mean Slashdot should be issuing grovelling appologies each time some fuckwit posts GNAA trolls? I'd rather see them appologising for the dupes and illiterate headlines/stories.
Well, the "windows" ones are "Windows Operating Systems"
And the "linux" and "osx" ones are "Unix/ Linux Operating Systems"
Seeing as "windows" ones are Windows and "linux" and "osx" are Linus, OS X, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, HPUX, Tru64, *BSD, SCO, etc., etc., I think 3x is not too bad as there are more than 3x the number of distinct operating systems.
That's without even looking at what might be classified as "application" versus "os" vulnerabilities in each category.
No, we are not loved (by a deity) and our life has no intrinsic purpose. C'est la vie.
So what say we imbue our lives _with_ a purpose by loving each other and trying to make life better for one another.
Seeing as we'll save all that time we used to spend arguing about who's god was bigger and killing each other in holy wars we'll need to keep ourselves occupied with something.

[Yawn] Wake me up when they have invented a Bag of Holding.

It is not about images.
It is about IFRAMEs.
Pine renders the text of HTML.
If it follows the IFRAME to render text contained in it then you are being tracked.
I know email is not the web.
I was using email before the web existed and the web since the web existed.
The question I asked specifically mentioned IFRAMEs and Pine's handling of them.
Care to answer the question I actually asked rather than the one you imagined that I asked?
Instead of of smugly assuming you are invulnerable to image bugs like almost every other poster you took the time to read the article and determine it was about IFRAME bugs!
Most insightful post so far! Well done
This is NOT about image bugs, it is about IFRAME bugs.

IFRAMEs _not_ images!
http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=610
Bah. RTFA. It's not about image bugs.
I honestly don't know, but assuming you are not viewing the source HTML but Pine's formatted text version of it, would Pine still trigger an IFRAME bug as it formats the HTML message?
The issue discussed in TFA does not involve image bugs but iframe bugs.
Now, I don't know, but they would potentially still be triggered if you were using a "convert to plain text" filter???
Because *ALL* UNIX systems are used on the desktop of course ...

I am inclined to believe in incompetence before conspiracy theories... (although incompetence does not leave me all warm and glowy)
incompetence in the three mile island/chernobyl vein might!
That seems like design
Intelligent Design?

Aw crap. Now that's an article I'd want to read. "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." Pschhh, yeah-right.
hate, Hate, HATE Apple's "resource fork".

As usual with entertainment technologies, it's time we looked to the porn industry to tell us what will be the next big thing!
I didn't mean that to be a condemnation of either OS camp, just a reality check on the respective weightings of the two classifications.
Well, the "windows" ones are "Windows Operating Systems"
And the "linux" and "osx" ones are "Unix/ Linux Operating Systems"
Seeing as "windows" ones are Windows and "linux" and "osx" are Linus, OS X, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, HPUX, Tru64, *BSD, SCO, etc., etc., I think 3x is not too bad as there are more than 3x the number of distinct operating systems.
