It's a slippery slope kind of thing. You see, the more porn you [view|read], the more accustomed you get to it. The buzz wears off, so you have to find stuff that's further out there. It keeps going, and you wind up that more traditional sexual methods become less appealing. Then what you need to get aroused becomes more and more extreme, and can really screw with your relationships.
Ah yes! Someone with no metallurgical experience commenting on copper. Annealed, soft copper would be minimally useful - but, the way it was likely produced, by pounding into shape instead of cutting it, would work-harden the copper. It's possible for the copper to actually be very hard after being worked like that. Copper work hardens pretty rapidly.
I find it strange that this is getting so much complaint from slashdot. This only affects WINDOWS. It will have the primary effect of driving people from Windows to Linux.
The problem with that is there's no money in DSL or cable. Think of it: 1.5Mbit/s for $40/month. T1: 1.2Mbit/s for $2,000/month. DSL provides bandwidth at bargain basement prices - the problem is the upstream bandwidth hasn't changed significantly in price. Therefore, there's no money in DSL. If there's no money in it, the companies that offer it aren't going to be that interested in selling it.
You know what it reminds me of? The sound of a running steam locomotive. Or a traction engine with the cylinder cocks open. That's a deffinite chush-chush sound.

Remember: The North Vietnamese not only fought off the US, but also the French Foreign Legion. And one is quick succession after the other. These are two of the most powerful military forces you're likely to find in the world. And they _LOST_. It's called guerilla warfare and it's the only way to defeat a great opponent militarily.
This is a different issue. We have ways of dealing with spamware. The bigger issue affects all of us, _our_ freedoms. He just happens to be the Drafted Martyr(tm). One we kill the DMCA, then we can DoS him.
What's funny is that Corel is Canadian company, and Microsoft is American. Now, while Corel never really did understand open source, they at least made an effort at being a part of it. Microsoft still hasn't realized that they've lost the battle(much like RIAA).
So Mrs. Chretien is a "badass RCMP"? Remember the last assassination attempt? A drunk wandered onto the property in the middle of the night, and Mrs. Chretien fought him off with an Inuit carving.
A lot of people hold to the flawed premise that information can be owned by someone. Information is the property of all mankind. No one person can be allowed to own information.
Remember, the strict control of information played a large role in the Dark Ages. One of things that fired the renaissance was publishing, making it possible to disseminate ideas far faster than previously possible. The internet has the possibility to do for humanity what books have done - but only if the demon of Intellectual Property is slain! Information must be made free or else mankind will slip back into the dark ages.
I call them "gimmies". When I quit from my last place of employment, I was replaced by a gimmie. What a moron. He hasn't touched a thing, even some of the HUGE security holes that I had temporarily left open just to get some bugs worked out and meant to close.
System administration should be an apprenticed trade.
Come on! Read a little man, liquid-fueled engines are transported DRY - NO FUEL! Solid fuel engines carry their fuel from the day of manufacture. They have FAR greater potential for disaster in transit than liquid. A liquid-fueled rocket engine in transit is no more dangerous than a hedge trimmer.
Also, solid fuel engines can't be turned off or throttled. Once they've been lit, it's 100% until they either explode or run out of fuel. The reason solid fuel engines are more popular in military applications is that they're more reliable in starting and require less support equipment. The primary danger with liquid fuel engines is once they've been started. If the fellow ends up dieing, I personally he would have gone the best way I can think of. Think about, name in the papers for weeks, quick, thrilling, painless, and it destroys the body therefore minimizing funeral costs. Far better than withering away with alzheimers and arthtritis, IMHO.
2.5 Bels?! You've got to be kidding! That's 250 decibels - louder than a jet engine, and certainly above the pain AND I beleive even above the death threshold.

Shock! Horror! I'm astonished! The cads!
Doing a disservice to their customers, oh MY! How can they _do_ such a thing?!
Which doesn't work with Mozilla.
These people need to setup sites running scoop or slashcode.

I think you can pry it apart with unzip. I'm pulling it down now and we'll see if it works.

Well, the basic goal of the GPL is so people can reuse code without having to reinvent the wheel.
It may rot everyone's socks, but in the very least it is preventing duplication of effort. Remember, information is something no one can own.
Not 18 - the satellites are 22,300 miles up. Seems to me that it's silly to tax items that are more than 20,000 miles away.

I always use the false identity Fargle Leibovitch, a 70-year-old Uzbekastani UNIX system administrator/homemaker.
What's wrong with asm?
It's fundamentally non-portable, and less readable than C.
Aren't there laws against public exposure of one's stupidity?

x86 has been around for a good 20 years, and alas, shows no sign of dieing soon....
So an unconstitutional law has never been passed in the US?
