And I assert that this is where the open source movement fails. While open source software promotes cooperation and community for the developers involved in its creation, it doesn't attempt to build community by creating more user friendly tools.
And your assertion would be wrong. Part of the GNU coding standards is a requirement for GNU tools to support long option names (eg --recursive for the traditional -R), and a recommendation that any order dependancies of options is removed where possible (try "ls / -l" with GNU ls and compare it to any Unix version).
6 out of 10 links on the first page of google are still about "hotel chain heiress Paris Hilton".
Even including the quotes gets you 4 links to pages about the star of the infamous video, and one to an "award winning desktop toolbar with 45 tools!".
No need for two receivers. You are using it to measure change in position, the absolute position does not matter. As long as all measurements in a session are off by the same amount you get an accurate result.
$15,000 a year is not more expensive than $25 per unit if you are making DVD players in any quantitee. And I wouldn't be so sure about the region coding clauses in the CSS license, in many countries such clauses are illegal under consumer law, so I doubt they can enforce them.
I mean, walk into a Future Shop and ask the minimum wage sales clerk what the difference between two $100 DVD players are and he'll spend 5 minutes studying the boxes, shrug and say "Uh. This one's better." "why?" "uh... it costs more?" or at best just read the features off the box.
Mom and Pop stores can be worse. They tend to know what the profit margins are, and have a direct financial interest in the store. It depends on the individual whether they are genuinely helpful, or just want to line their pockets, but I find that in general salesmen are slimey bastards.
It astounds me that in the US, citizens are only worried about losing "rights" if it is the government that is taking them away. Corporations seem to get away with anything, like demanding drug tests from employees and refusing to offer the most basic of merchantability guarantees to consumers.
while America's Parmesean production was not considered when Parma, Italy gained European trade protection for its own name.
That's because America's Parmesan production consists of manufactured canned powder (otherwise known as Pamselo), while the Parmigiano-Reggiano area produces high quality cheese. Parma itself is famous for its dry cured ham BTW.
If I'm idle for a day because I spent the night at the girlfriend's place, "Where were you all day??? Did you really sleep in til 4pm?"
Just tell them you were at your girlfriends place fucking her senseless for 12 hours straight. They might realize after you tell them that it is time to let you grow up.
IANAL and I have not read the DMCA myself, but I have heard before that the DMCA explicitly allows reverse engineering for the purpose of discovering copyright infringement among other things.
Japan has a high last mile cost largely because NTT is a greedy former government department monopoly, much the same as BT and other telecom companies around the world that are not as heavily regulated as the US baby bells.
Some prefixes (0800 and 0900 spring to mind - substitute 1 for the leading 0 in North America) have become international standards, perhaps 050 is too.
The ONLY hope of peace is for enough people on all sides of the conflict to get to know eachother and develop personal respect.
Unfortunately FOSS developers are not the ones who's attitudes towards others need changing. It is the politicians who need educating.
The biggest problem now is that the Israeli politicians have a kneejerk reaction every time there is a terrorist attack. The only way they are going to make progress is to ignore the terrorists for a while and press ahead with plans to create an environment for the Palestinians where the terrorists no longer have popular support.
Not being content with translating humanoid speech, the Japanese have aimed their sights higher; dogs and cats. Cheaper than a PDA too, but they still need to work on the size and texture so it slithers nicely into the ear.
Canon still didn't use USB mass storage as of 18 months ago, I don't know if their latest models do. I was disappointed to find this out, as my previous camera (Sony) had used USB mass storage, and was plug and play on Linux, whereas Windows needed drivers installed, which impressed me.
Last Christmas, a friend if mine had bought a new PC and tried to connect their Olympus (also non-USB mass storage) camera to it, only to find that they'd lost the CD. While downloading the 30Mb "driver package" over their 56k modem, I took their camera and pluged it in to my laptop. GPhoto recognized it straight away, another case where Linux (and BSD) won over Windows for hardware compatibility.
commitinfo runs on the server, the CVSROOT directory is not normally even checked out to the clients. And ssh (or less secure equivalents) make it easy to use a dedicated test machine.

The Paris Hilton Hotel Sex Tape (Rated R)
Here's a specific example for you: If I hadn't been planning that holiday to France, I wouldn't have stumbled on all those new and helpful porn sites.

Right. What he should have said was "trading land for smallpox infested blankets". Is that better?

Learning to deal with unpleasant experiences is part of growing up. We're creating a generation of anxious kids with no social skills here.

I'd be more worried about the fact that I considered being on IM as "being instantly and constantly accessible to one's spouse and children."

Let me guess, the last time you read Wired was in 1995, right?
Japan would fit in 5th place, behind Ukraine, France, Spain and Sweden in that order.

Try doing 70mph in high winds on quiet country roads where birds tend to feed on roadkill. Then watch your score go through the roof.
