- Know what your kids up to. Ask questions. - Monitor what they do, and make them aware of it.
I'm sorry but these two sentences tell me you don't actually have teenage kids, or you're a very gullible parent (in which case MySpace.com would actually help protect your kids).
They've been dead since about 99. I don't think they care any more.;)
You think wrong. Sierra might be dead, but copyright holders still exist and sometimes they do care.
Here's an example: there was a great space trading game called Elite, created in 1984 by David Braben. It was such a success that it was ported to many platforms of the time, many sequels were made, and Elite has become a cult game many still play. It's such a good game in fact that many people tried to clone it. However, one of the clones' developer, who had reversed-engineered the original Elite, got into trouble with David Braben and was forced to stop his effort, despite the fact that the company that distributed Elite is long dead.
When I was 9 and my family and I were moving overseas, I had to get all kinds of additional vaccines (smallpox, polio, cholera, etc) and ended up getting a small case of cholera that kept me out of school for quite a while...
I can relate to that: when I did my military service, I didn't have proof that I was vaccinated for common disease, so they gave me a sort of "super shot" supposed to immunize me against many disease. Well I don't know what was in that shot exactly, but I sure got sick for three days.
Back in the olden days of 2004, we used to call it "cybersquatting." Kids these days and their crazy terminology. And their music.
Actually, I always thought cybersquatting was more like registering a bunch of potentially valuable domain names and doing nothing with them, until whoever would be rightfully interested in registering a name realizes it's taken and offers money to buy it back. It's a form of racket of course. Typosquatting is rather different.
"Since joining Sun in 1996, Jonathan has been a driving force within the Company. His leadership has been instrumental in streamlining Sun's operations, building a solidly competitive product line, securing key acquisitions and major partner relationships and positioning us globally and across industries to reap the benefits of the networked marketplace," said McNealy.
That much PR bullshit barfed in one statement tells me the actual translation is:
"I leave this company in a mess. Jonathan is the one in deep doodoo now, and I'm bloody out here. Farewell sucker."
It seems to me that the art world has a glorious history of incorporating prior art into modern creations. It's amusing to me that ARS doesn't understand that.
It's not that they don't understand, it's more that they're trying very hard to make everybody else forget that fact. They, as well as certain **AAs, behave like rabid dogs protecting their food, so that they have grounds to claim money for the use of this or that piece of art whenever possible and not be contested.
No, the patch was simply conflicting with a few pieces of software. If you aren't affected, you won't get the patched patch. The original bug was fixed with the original patch. This patch's patch simply whitelists a couple of programs known to cause issues with the patch.

a proposal to build wind turbines alongside a coal mine, on a heavily logged mountaintop next to a transmission line, has just been nixed by state officials who called it too environmentally damaging.
Yeah, because in 2 or 3 decades, when the sea rises and countless disaster stories that will make the LA flooding look like a joke will occur every year, the weather will turn hot and sterile, or brutally cold where it was mild before,... I'm sure we'll all be happy that the mountaintop's view has been preserved...
and he has told me that I -must- fill out the application on their broken and defunct Dell Genesis Terminal.
Maybe, just maybe they want to discourage you from applying. Maybe they don't like your face and tell you to use the broken machine, in the hope that you'll just give up, and they reserve hand-written applications forms for applicants that look more "kosher" than you to them.
I knew of an employer you used such tactics with applicants of black and arabic origins: he didn't want to be sued for racial discrimination, so he made sure non-white applicants had a really hard time applying.
Well, the safest thing you can drive is probably an M-1 abrams tank, for $5,000,000, but I doubt many people would actually buy one of those even if they were available to the public:)
They are, they're called SUVs: same weight, same mileage, same damage to other cars in an accident, it just doesn't have the big gun and the tracks.

The biggest proposal is to change the minimum age from 14 to 18 with an age verification system,
Oooh, that's scary. I bet kids will have a really hard moral dilemma lying to the "are you under 18? [YES] [NO]" page.
Well right, it's slow over IRDA...

which includes support for five platforms: i386, amd64, macppc, sparc, sparc64
at least you'll be able to do something with your old mac when Apple is done switching and pulls the plug on ppc support for good...
However, you need to be aware that these articles are written for ISP Config.
It's clearly written in the blurb and in TFA that it's a set of instructions for ISPs, so what are you warning readers about?

After everything's said and done he has bills as well you know!
Had you bothered to RTFA, you'd have known he was raising money for the FSF.
There's now way the FSF fanboys will be able to make it past the crush of girls desperate to get close to the Man :-)
So are you saying there is a way to make it past girls desperate to get close to RMS?
I think you might be right there...
Just call him RM$ from now on, that'll piss him off.
Only if you give credit to the original author.
Sources please?
What's the next step. Setting up a phony bank branch and asking you to come into it? Maybe I should just start using only cash.
Yeah. I bet you that shiny $3 bill in my wallet that cash is a lot safer than banking...
Funny McNealy dismissed this as a 22 year old rumor only a few days ago.
Well it was a 22 year old rumor a few days ago...

He was a surrealist remember. Ceci n'est pas une man...
I had never heard of the artist until Google used an interpretation of her art
It doesn't look like your knowledge of Miro has improved much since Google educated you.
Miro is a man...
