Well, nothing says the parents have to check it all the time. If your child is doing well in school, with no complaints during the parent-teach interviews then you just keep doing what you're doing, no need to log in to the system. If your child is having social or academic troubles, it might be a useful way to try to deter irresponsible behaviour.
You claim that the Windows XP piracy is down because of an intrusive activation scheme, but you have no evidence of that. Even if Windows XP piracy rates are down (which you failed to demonstrate), you didn't show causality.
I assert that if Windows XP piracy is down, it is due to the general acceptance that Windows 2000 has become a mature and reliable operating system that meets most needs, thus dissuading people from switching to Windows XP.
Some evidence would make your point far more effectively than the ad hominem attack you instead chose to use.
Eventually the copy protection become too much of an impediment and we dropped it.
It's nice to see that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The lesson that complicated copy protection schemes don't work was apparently first learned in 1978.
That's odd, I just checked the back of my dvd player and I couldn't find a network port on it, and it didn't show up on my wi-fi net either. My DVD player must just be a shitty one, right?
Could you show me the dvd player you're talking about, where it'll let me listen to my iTunes library over the net?
My goal wasn't simply to have everybody laugh at the guy, though he does make excellent joke fodder. The fact of the matter is that this man somehow managed to get Australia's highest court to hear a case where the plaintiff's goal was to legislate science.
This hearing was, in my mind, as assinine as if the fellow who runs TimeCube managed to get a hearing with the Supreme Court, to try to legislate that there are 4 simultaneous days within each 24 hour earth rotation. How does this happen? Why does it happen? What would happen if the guy had been sane?
It seemed to me to be a real-life version of the urban legend pi === 3 law, except with the judicial branch being abused.
When it comes to car seats, Britax is where it's at. For travel, get the pack n' play, the one with the optional music, massage and such. Yes, it sounds retarded, but babies love it, it's money well spent.
well, buy a copy of what to expect when you're expecting.
remember that your wonderful, intelligent, loving wife is likely to become a raving loon with an iq of approximately 72 at some point. this is normal.
start doing some non-geek stuff, and learn the rules to all the major sports if you don't know them. your kids should learn that stuff.
DO NOT under any circumstances, use the first post-birth diaper to learn how to change a diaper. your seemingly healthy baby is born with the ability to shit tar.
make sure you have the ability to relax and smile at tragedy.
don't worry if vomit bothers you. baby vomit starts out rather innocuous and then grows fouler along with your ability to handle more disgusting smells.
baby shit changes colors. this is normal.
once the baby comes you'd think you'd be overwhelmed... you won't be. you'll just be very, very tired.
there's a very real chance your wife will be slightly insane AFTER she has the baby too. this is normal.
umm... and yah, nce again, learn to find tragedy hilarious.
If you'd say the same thing about debian, then you either haven't used debian long enough, or you haven't used freebsd long enough.
If you don't mind running the extremely old debian stable branch, debian works pretty well, but as soon as you need a new version of something, then you enter into a minor hell of incompatible required versions, and instead of just knowing how to use the basic apt-get commands, you're suddenly forced to fix all sorts of shit with dpkg.
FreeBSD doesn't have the equivalent to the debian stable branch for the ports collection, it's always new, and most of the software always works. That being said, if you're interested in running gnome and kde, you should try to install these off of a release tagged ports collection, as both of them have a tendancy to only FULLY compile out of ports about 90% of the time, which can be wickedly frustrating. So with FreeBSD, you might have to learn how to use the date tag, or the release tags in cvsup, to move backwards to a point in time where the whole ports collection worked (the whole thing is generally very solid right at a release).
On the whole, the FreeBSD system is probably your preferred choice if you cannot make do with 2 year old software, but if the older software is adaquate for your needs, debian's stable branch is probably your best bet.
It sounds to me like you aren't initting the plex or something.
Whether you're making a mistake or not, you should post to -stable explaining precisely how you can make your system panic, and it'll get fixed pretty quickly.

Yeah the error codes can suck a cock. 'error -47' what the fuck is that?
Though honestly the far, far more annoying bug is that an smb mount failure can result in the shift key not functioning properly in Illustrator. I'm not kidding.
oh, so you live in the portion of Pennsylvania commonly referred to as 'Alabama' then. I almost moved out there to take a job with Adelphia (I liked the concept of a $400,000 house that includes a runway), but then I realized... what the hell kind of fool would want to live in Central Pennsylvania?
I didn't say that we would fail to create an Iraqi government that is acceptable to all parties. I hope we will! I just don't believe we can consider the operation a success unless this is accomplished, and I don't believe that this is a slam-dunk.
I'm sorry to see that you prefer to simply ignore the unpalettable consequences of this action, rather than to find effective strategies to mitigate those damages. I hope that the US government cares more about this than you do.
Will we find a way to create an Iraqi government that is acceptable to the Iraqis AND to the United States? Will it last? Will we find a way to quell the anti-american hatred that our actions have incited? Will we avoid suffering severe economic hardships made worse by this conflict? Will we find that we've irreperably damaged our relationships with other nations of the world?
Winning is a very subjective term, and while I agree that the Baath Party will be shredded very thoroughly, I don't agree to the premise that such actions constitute victory.
helicopters provided by the United States, spraying gas provided by the United States, ordered by a dictator who was placed into power by the United States.
The Iraq Body Count counts high and low numbers of confirmed civilian deaths, the idea being that the truth is probably somewhere in between those sets of numbers. Right now the civilian body count is between 232 and 302 in a country of 24 million, whereas the 9/11 body count is approximately 2800, in a country of 280 million.
I'm not talking about the people who starved during sanctions, as I'm aware that Saddam didn't spend all his oil for food money, and he stole as much of it as he could. I'm referring only to people who were killed by the current invasion.
Next time you're watching the bombs explode on CNN, remember how you felt on 9/11, and realize that the same thing is happening in Iraq, right now.
Seriously, this has to be a joke right? People aren't actually getting pissed about which cell phone technology may be used after we're done conquering Iraq are they?
Seriously folks, in percentage of population, the US Military has already killed more Iraqi civilians than 9/11 killed Americans. Let's not worry about what cell phones the Iraqis will use after we win, and worry instead about whether or not it's possible for us to win.
Dell has released an extremely cheap printer. This extremely cheap printer uses ink cartridges which create a revenue stream for Dell, but also wear out and stop functioning to spec after a certain amount of time.
Some third party is upset that they cannot refill those cartridges, even though they were not designed to be refilled, and are at the end of their lives.
Consumers have a multitude of options regarding printing technology, at widely varying costs per page. Dell's decision has not eliminated any of the other suppliers or technologies.
In short, unless you manufacture inkjet refill kits, don't worry about this, it doesn't matter and it would change your life in the least.

Damn you and your emeth truth! I was a happier man when I thought it was an urban legend.
Ah, you bought the cheaper model then. the $200 one doesn't have the antenna port, the $250 one does.

Shut the fuck up you goddamned pissant whiner.
you're absolutely right that it shouldn't crash the browser. that being said, it still crashes safari (and probably konq).
your 'new' renderer crashes safari beautifully.

You can do all of those things with postfix. Either contact the postfix mailing lists, or a decent consultant for more details.
