Good. Where do I sign up?
And beat me up with a 2x4, I cannot find anything in it that makes copying of your own media for your own use illegal. Moreover, I cannot find anything that makes DeCSS illegal. Can anyone point it out for me?
But it's stupid anyway. Segway can only balance in one axis (forwards/backwards) and the arms can move sideways. If you need dynamic balancing then you need two-axis dynamic balancing, so again, why Segway? And that's one big if. Making the robot's centre of gravity very low (lead-acid batteries, anyone?) would probably make the robot stable enough without all that expensive electronics.
with X11 it depends on your XKB setup. You should be able to type nikkud with ctrl+numbers in any application, but I had little success with KDE apps. Will try more...
Judge Stephen Hardin finds himself distraught when he's forced to dismiss the charges against an obviously guilty criminal due to a legal technicality.
The technicality in question was exactly that. The criminal's garbage was searched after being loaded on a garbage truck. But it was still separate from the rest of garbage, and thus was his private property. See, the truck man didn't have a chance to pull a lever when the police stopped him. If he pulled that lever, the criminal's garbage would mix with the common garbage and at this moment would cease to be private property. And the search was declared illegal and the evidence was not admitted.
The movie is crap, but Michael Douglas almost saves it.
You are saying that DRM will be enforced in most stringent way possible, i.e. no moving files between computers etc. This is speculation.
Perhaps you don't know, but there's a DRM shop operating in the US. It's called iTunes. Maybe you should look at how it works. It's nothing like you describe. Perhaps you should ask yourself why.
Of course it will be used for DRM enforcement. The thing is, there are many ways to enforce DRMs. You can give the user this set of rights or that one. You know, broader or narower. For the time being, DRM shops that give their users more rights, win. There's no indication that the trend will change any time soon.
And I don't believe that corporations believe that people are that stupid.
Look at current implementations of DRM, e.g. iTunes. They do not show any sign of being as draconian as you describe. Why? Because otherwise people wouldn't use them, that's why.

MS gladly supports even smaller language communities, such as Estonian.
Nope, Yeda is still alive.
MS software supports Hebrew reasonably well.
What I don't want is a sub-10000-users-at-a-time RDBMS.

there is something new.
Here.
Not that I care; I'm not even British.
Do you know where to buy their products without paying 3x as much for a single unit? I'd like to experiment with an ARMBASE.
And replying to one's own comments is stupid.
The question is why?
They actually make those all the time.
Where's the language manual?
If you are so eager to know, I'll find a screenshot tomorrow, okay?
I tried to find one on the web but couldn't... sorry, and I don't have an SGI any more to make a screenshot.
steal a few ideas from SGI's file selection dialog. It's probably the best (and the most underrated) widget that ever existed on a Unix desktop...

Mac is is still strong in Israeli academic world, and absence of Hebrew is a pain.

No, the Beatles can't shut down iTunes downloads already made. Can they sut down an iPod? I think not.
AFAICT, yes. If in doubt, burn all of them to CDs, because you can.
