The machine is completely untrustworthy; there's no way you can be sure that anything being done on the machine is not being reported back to its true master. Rebooting off a LiveCD is the only way to be sure that the software the box is running can be trusted.
Why was Faramir not affected by the ring. He should have been.
He was affected by The Ring. He was not overcome by The Ring. Why? Because he was a humble man who knew that, as a man, he was imperfect and limited. Unlike Boromir, who in his pride could not help thinking, "With me it would be different. I could take The Ring and use it for good," Faramir knew he could not master Sauron's evil. That enabled him to overcome the temptation. Note that Faramir *never sees The Ring*; it is only mentioned to him. Faramir explicitly instructs Frodo not to show him The Ring specifically so that he may avoid the temptation. He even asks the hobbits not to mention it again, and not just to avoid someone else overhearing. I'm sorry, this is not a glitch. This is Tolkien showing us how a good man avoids evil by intentionally avoiding temptation. By changing it, Jackson subverted that theme completely.
I don't remember the difference in the Helm's Deep part. Haven't seen or read it in over a couple of years.
It's pretty significant. The growing estrangement of Men and Elves is another big Tolkien theme. The Men of Rohan actually regard the Elves as evil, or, at the very least, no friends of Man. No Elf has been seen in Gondor for generations before Legolas enters Minas Tirith. In Tolkien's history of the War of the Ring, Man and Elf never fight together; the kingdoms of Mirkwood and Lothlorien only defend their own territories, and this also illustrates another of Tolkien's themes, the fading of the Elves. The Last Alliance was called that for a reason, you know. At the Council of Elrond, Elrond says there will never be another allying of Elf and Man. By having the Elves send a friggin' army to Helm's Deep, Jackson again sabotages a couple of Tolkien's important themes.
There are no international treaties outlawing flamethrowers, however, the US Military gave them up voluntarily in 1978, at least partially for public image reasons.
Worse than that. Generally, after-market parts manufacturers can, and do, continue to fabricate spare parts for discontinued car models; in fact, it's a pretty good business. So it's like saying, "we're not going to make any new parts for your car, *and we're going to make sure that nobody else is allowed to, either*".
Given all that, it should not be a surprise that Office doesnt produce strict conformant output... it was never designed to, and the strict version didnt even exist at the time.
In other words, they just voted vaporware to be an ISO standard. Bill and Steve must be laughing so hard their stomachs ache.
. . . they obviously don't care what decision is finally made.
. . . they obviously don't believe that pretty little college debates are going to have anything to do with the outcome, and don't think the FCC chief is going to have much more. There's a pretty good chance they're right.
Depends on the IT department. Between the folks who call the helpdesk to complain "everything too small" because they accidentally reset the resolution, and the folks who call the helpdesk because they set their text and background to the same color and now can't read *anything*, a lot of IT departments don't let their users change the video settings on their computers.
So, then, cow's milk, goat's milk, mare's milk, sheep's milk, llama's milk, and then I start running out of options. How do you manage to find eight milks?
Linux -- at its core is a commercial product. Some of the biggest contributors are commercial entities like IBM, Red Hat, Novell, etc. Check out who makes contributions to the kernel sometime.
Wrong. Linux has commercial aspects. Linux has commericial supporters. Linux has commericial users. But Linux, at its core, is Linus Torvalds. He created it, and he maintains his control over what goes into the kernel and what doesn't. And Linus Torvalds isn't commercial. Not even a little bit.
Businesses assume that it costs X dollars a month for a computer, and as long as the subscription costs fits in nicely with whatever cycle they buy upgrades on, they won't mind the rent/buy dichotomy
They might--if they perceive it as renting their own data. I predict a lot of business are going to perceive this as paying Microsoft a price in order to access their documents--and Microsoft can change that price any time they feel like it. They aren't going to like that perception. "I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further."
How does this work for other subscription services like World of Warcraft? Technically, your character, etc, is your data, though by the EULA Blizzard claims that all data is theirs, so perhaps that's how they get around it,
Correct, that is how they get around it.
and Microsoft could just do the same.
Um, no. Technically, Microsoft could try this gambit; I'm not sure whether, legally, it would work or not. But practically, it'd be a death sentence on Office. Rights to Eleroth the Night Elf is one thing. Rights to your personal correspondence, to the data that your business needs to run, to your personal data, that's another. If Microsoft announced that they owned all the data created by subscription Office, nobody would buy it. Ever.
No, Oceania includes the UK, but none of Europe, Europe all belongs to Eurasia, along with Turkey and most of the old Soviet Union (that's why the UK is "Airstrip One"). Oceania is the UK, all the Americas, Australia, and Africa south of the bulge. Eastasia is China, Japan and northern India, for the most part. The rest is disputed territory.

You mean Hydrodynamic Magnetic Explosive Neutralizer.

Magnet Yielding Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition would've been better :-)
Those are the guys with the duck, right?
No. They're. Not. Ford doesn't COME AND TAKE AWAY YOUR VAN. That is not a DETAIL.

Ford discontinuing a minivan doesn't stop me from driving the *one I already bought*, or from obtaining spare parts and having repairs done.
Perhaps the gentleman in the cement galoshes shouldn't have proposed going swimming in the first place, then.

I got to give you that. However, I like to be able to say my software is stable because it's always *up*.
"Network"? I feel like I'm living on the set of "Max Headroom"! Next up: Blipverts!

Huh? Last time I was in a Barnes & Noble, they had Gilligan's Island boxed sets. Seasons one and two, right there...
