Whenever someone I know wants to try linux, I either recomend mint (the xfce or gnome2, wharever version), or Ubuntu. KDE is just too bloated, and gnome... wel... it's gnome.
If this is meant to protect society, people's rights, etc, it would never have been secret or behind closed doors. In Australia, or anywhere. Of course, we all know the intention of these talks is not in society's best interests.
Can't you take it somewhere to get scanned? I have a Staples about 4 blocks from here. All I need to do is hand it over to the girl there, give her a usb drive, and wait (or come back later). It's not *that* cheap, but it beats buying a huge copier.
I strongly agree with this. I'm pretty sure this isn't enforcable where I live, but you'd have to check with you friendly neighbourhood lawyer to make sure. Imagine if a friend asked you to come over one week end, and help him finish his software proyect. BAM, all IP goes to your employer? That makes absolutely no sense.
I find this is only useful for weak-typed languages, and not-tiny project. If your project is tiny, then it's easy to follow variables (I mean, small almost-script sort of things). If it's stronly typed, there's no sense it adding this to the variable name: use a better IDE if you don't know what a variable is at a certain point.
While this is a great effort, and I really congratulate the Tor proyect for all that they've done and continue to do, this still is nowhere close to the solution on the real issue here: governments that over and over again limit people's freedom of speech and privacy.
Wow, you reminded me strongly of "Guy Fawkes" for some reason. Juse because the rest doesn't care, doesn't mean you shouldn't. It's not like that 80% CHOSE windows. It's just the only thing they know.
"All it takes for evil to succeed is for a few good men to do nothing." Replace "evil" with whichever word you prefer.:)
In your opinion it's better to go agains one's principles and have a job which would be constant conflict, just because the economy in your country is bad? Maybe you should have told people like Luther King stuff like this "just play along, and don't get into a mess just because of principle".
If nobody stands for what they belive in, and just "work to eat to live to work", we won't be any different from a simpe machine. AND, a great deal of people would have a cool job for a few bucks, rather than have a crappy job for twice the salary.
By the way, not *all the world* is in bad economy. In Argentina, there's a huge demand on programmers. Way more demand that can be covered, AND it pays really well (better than most jobs).
Speed limits are set to the maximum that people can handle in a crash. Anyone hit with a car going under 40km/h is likely to have very minor injuries and probably walk away. Even if driver feel comfortable at 60, you have no time to react at 60 inside a city, and if you hit someone, there's a far higher chance you kill that person. Speed limits on highways or rural areas is a totally different issue though.
There is a somewhat valid point to this though. What keeps me from claiming I bought pirated mp3s from someone else? There's usually not a receipt for used goods.
Public universities are free in Argentina, just like primary and secondary school. I've never understood why US has such unaffordable universities. It's not socialism, education should be free and accesible to anyone nowdays.
Don't forget pirates also pillaged towns, or even small cities, killed and raped a lot. Also, I don't think they ever broke any copyright law (the ones we have today).
Since so many businesses still rely on software that itself rely on Windows XP, they're doing great work. Supose a big business relies on X, and X only works in XP. That business is stuck with XP, specially if they software vendor for X is unwilling to upgrade, or the cost it too high, etc.
It's true, shame on them for using X in the first place, but since ReactOS aims to be binary-compatible with XP, it's a good alternative in future, since I'm sure it'll have a better ecosystem for a more "gradual" migration from Windows to another real OS.
Also, wine use to lag about 4 or 5 versions of DirectX behind. Now they're almost catching up. You need to start with an older target and then catch up if you want a binary-compatible replacement for windows.
There's no "-1 Disagree" moderation option because that's what the reply button is for. Anyway, I think he made a good point. 17 people die exploring outer space, while hundreads die for far less. Their live count, but it's still a small figure.
Yes, when I set up my servers, I copy the ssh key physically onto it, and it's signature from it. I right after I plug them in, and install an OS on them. Facebook is no the end point of my message, the other person is. Just as Yahoo! or gmail aren't the end point of the e-mail I send to people who use them. They're just intermediaries.
My point is: ISP don't necesarily have access to everything you say as stated. They might TRY to access your communications in some ilegal way, but they don't have implicit access to every message like facebook, which was the starting point of this discussion.
Not usually. Whenever I create an encrypted filesystem, I use a whole partition as a container, not another filesystem. There's not timestamps. Anywhere (well, except those *inside* the filesystem).
Encrypt the whole partition, stop creating "virtual encrypted volumes" inside other filesystems, and all your timestamp issues are gone.
If a lot of files you click en up being DOCX, will you expect chorme and firefox to open DOCX as well? I download a los of tar.gz files. Maybe I should expect firefox to untar them for me as well.

What medio confusion? Last I heard, they started producing, and everything was smooth. Or did I miss an article?
The point in question was to avoid the Chinese Government taking his information, so he switched to an alternative organization to do this.

I really enjoy pizza. But I'd love some lasagna.
That something is good and makes me happy, doesn't mean that there isn't something that's better that can make me even happier.

Ok then: IE7. It still has lots of issues. I've no idea about IE8 or later though, but I expect something similar.

Still, they might DELETE it whenever they feel like it (well; whenever the US Government feels like it).
Exactly, something like encfs works fine with these sort of services (since it's not a huge container that needs to be moved around)

There's usually not a receipt for used goods.
You can; as long as you don't keep any copies.
