The better way to handle this would be to eliminate the limited liability of a corporation.
This idea has been discussed before. Sure, it would punish those making the choices (the shareholders), but then again, it would publish the shareholders. Do you have an IRA? Or invest in a mutual fund? A lot of people do, and removing limited liability could cause a lot of them to lose their life savings in some stupid copyright lawsuit that they likely don't even know about (especially if someone else is managing their investments).
make the management liable for any liabilities not disclosed in a quarterly report.
Apparently not the commercial that says "Sprint (or whoever) asks you to please not use your cell phone during the movie"). Though I guess the commercials only really happen BEFORE the movie.
FTFY. I fully agree that programmers should not be in charge of how the application looks and how it interacts. However there's really no one else who can program it. That's why they're programmers, they program things.
I dunno if anyone had this issue, but on FroYo my phone app and text messaging app would randomly crash. I don't get this issue on Gingerbread. So for me the phone and text messages (or about 75% of the reason I have a phone in the first place) was a reason to update.
being able to load custom ROMs as a plus for Android-based phones (it is in some cases) but we should not have to resort to that to get a really functional and more secure phone.
You must live somewhere where there ISN'T a near monopoly on internet providers. Where I live there are basically two options: AT&T and Comcast (and to be honest AT&T is acting like they just don't care anymore, their highest speed tier is lower than Comcast's lowest). We have very little choice. If we want internet we have to be fucked by one or the other. And both have increased prices without bothering to upgrade anything.
Or I suppose we could also pay for 3G, but the tethering prices are ridiculous as well.
Do we? Seems to me that we simply provide penalties that happen if people do these things (and honestly this is probably because it's very difficult to BLOCK those things).
It depends on how the vhost's owner is set up. If it's a large hosting company they probably would file a complaint, maybe even sue, and kick newzbin off of their server. If it's a small company they would probably just kick newzbin off and beg to be taken off the blacklist.
Actually if that happens probably the only thing that changes will be "hmm I wonder why no one from Britain has hit my site recently". Unless vhost is British specific, of course.
GP is wrong, of course, but there's no need to be insulting. Some people just don't understand how the internet works that well.
Slashdot Mirror
True but it does have char arrays, which are not that difficult to manipulate if you know what you're doing.
Any perl script executed directly from the command line starts with a comment. True, it will be of the form #! /usr/bin/perl, but a comment nonetheless

I agree that this is an excellent idea.
Just like Ron Paul has been wrong for decades, and is likely to continue to be wrong for decades to come.
At least he's consistent.

I guess you could say it was a game changer.

mother-nature manipulation to initiate volcanic activity
I wasn't even aware this was possible at our current level of technology. Can you link to an article describing how this is done?
Never let programmers design your applications.

I think you're reading the graph wrong. It says that the original iPhone got updates for 3 years after release, not that it still is getting updates.

This.
You have no way of knowing that iOS is not full of intentional backdoors.
I'm fairly sure it's safe to say that it IS.
Haha that's a good point
As improbable as it may seem, the US is still not as bad as China. But we're headed there.
Hmmmm use the corporations own weapon, obfuscation of the EULA, against them. Clever, very clever.
I imagine someone clever will find a way to do encryption without being apparent that it's encryption.
Maybe 1984 was written in the future and sent back in time as a warning...
What does the vice president have to do with veto? Veto is the president's decision.
I guess we'll have to offer them something more potent this time...
I guess they're really going all the way with "Corporations are people".

Depends on how the vhost is set up. Some are setup to assign a unique IP to every site hosted on them, while some use a shared IP.
