In a word, YES. WEP is a horribly insecure protocol. All it takes is time, and you can sniff WEP keys out of the air. My basic strategy for securing WiFi is to place the access point outside of my firewall, and use some VPN (or a simple ssh tunnel) to access my "real" network.
The moral: never rely on WEP to secure your network, always use some higher-level encryption to secure sensitive information.
Where does DRM enter into the equation? AAC does not imply DRM. I don't know where people got that idea, but using the AAC format when ripping CDs does not add DRM to the files, you are as free to do what you will with the resulting files as you would be with OGG, mp3, wav, aiff, etc. files.
The faculty or act of expressing or describing thoughts, feelings, or perceptions by the articulation of words.
I'd say that that covers a character in a story (which is all GTA really is: an interactive story) saying "Kill the Hatians" (or whatever the actual quote is).
Also, there is precedence for interpreting "speech" in the first amendment to encompass the larger concept of "expression", for instance, when the Supreme Court struck down the Flag Protection Act in U.S. v. Haggerty and U.S. v. Eichman. So, according to the Supreme Court, flag burning is constitutionally protected "speech"
"if there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable"
--Supreme Court Justice William Brennan
There are other examples of non-verbal expression being interpreted as "speech". For example the decision in Tinker v. Des Moines, the Supreme Court said that the right of public school students to wear black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War was protected by the First Amendment.
I never saw Super Mario versions, but that was the basic gist of these books. (The one I vaguely remember was about a boy who found a tunnel in the side of a hill that he could use to time travel).
Why is a video game not free speech, but a book is? Or a television program, radio program, painting, song, sculpture, etc.
What is so different about a videogame that suddenly makes it non-speech? Is it that it's on a TV? no, can't be that because TV programs are on TV.
Is it that it is interactive (i.e. the end user can change the outcome)? No, it can't be that because I read several books as a child where one could change the outcome. And books are protected speech.
Is it that videogames are relatively new, and didn't exist at the time of the framing of the Constitution? No, it can't be that because TV and radio didn't exist then either.
You're not misinformed, Safari does indeed use the KHTML engine. But the point of this appears to be to show the world that KDE apps can be ported to OSX in a manner that they won't require X11 (which a lot of the less-expert users shy away from). This means that these applications can be "first class" Mac applications.
I.e. someday soon, we may see grandmas everywhere running KOffice instead of shelling out hundreds for MS Office.
Yes, that's the whole point of what he did. You can already run KDE under X11 on OSX. (I've done it before). The thing that is special about this was that he actually *ported* it to OSX's Quartz windowing system.
Yes, in fact, it does one better, XCode gives you the option to explicitly target your code to 10.3, 10.2, or even 10.1. So, you can be sure that your software doesn't make any calls not allowed on the target OS.
That's simply not true. My home setup includes a PowerMac G4 hooked up to a cable modem. I have a PowerBook, and iBook, and an HP PC, all communicating wirelessly, using the G4 as the base station.

You obviously never had to download your pr0n over a 2400 bps modem :)
...let LA County hear about this, they may claim racial discrimination.

Quick, which weighs more: A ton of feathers or a ton of bricks? :)
They did have their own engine, but they scrapped it in favor of webcore (aka Safari's rendering engine, aka KHTML)

It's no worse than all the OSX apps that start with a lowercase "i".
You should probably put something like that in a factory method:
+(id)stanford
{
return [[[self alloc] init] autorelease];
}
Then you can just call:
[Stanford stanford]
If you can disagree with the sentence, then it must have some meaning. :)
In a word, "yes". Do a google search for "doppler red shift"
The beta version runs on G5 just fine. It doesn't yet control the fans, so it sounds like an airplane, but it does indeed run.
That's simply not true. YellowDog ran on the G5's even before they were publicly available.
Can you say "Get them to sign a release?"
Windows Update ...
apt-get
MacOS Software Update
Nope, no prior art here.

Actually, AppleTalk had all of the main features of ZeroConf back in the 80's. ZeroConf was actually patterned after AppleTalk.
That's simply not true. My home setup includes a PowerMac G4 hooked up to a cable modem. I have a PowerBook, and iBook, and an HP PC, all communicating wirelessly, using the G4 as the base station.
