I can trivially max out my downspeed connection at home with a single download. If someone else in the family (or even just me) wants to download something else, our individual speeds are cut in half. And I'm paying ~$70/mo for a higher-speed connection (and static IP addresses).
Some games do better on the console. Some games are unplayable on a console.
Adobe's been receiving requests for years and years about porting its apps to Linux. There's a market, but somehow the normal rules supply and demand appear to be interfered with here...
No, your ability to reason has been interfered with. There is no market for Linux versions of Adobe apps. There cannot be a market for what doesn't exist. There can be a demand. Demand does not create a market. Only the combination of supply and demand create a market.
If you wish to say that Adobe does not feel the demand is great enough to bother creating the market, than say so. Don't try to insinuate that Adobe hates open systems or that they are in bed with MS.
That is false. Explain how logic can explain the right to free speech, to pick an example. Without proof, I'd be hard-pressed to believe that such rights are anything other than axioms.
I bring empty pop or water bottles through and fill them on the other side from drinking fountains. It's not as if cold water would stay that way with the inevitable delays and the length of the flight.
You are clearly wrong. Bush has been collaborating with terrorists since he took office, and all he'll get is half a dozen SS agents protecting him for the remainder of his life. Hardly what he deserves.
There's no punishment to a CEO worse than the stock price falling. Until officers of a company face real punishments in the face of such crimes, they will always choose to cut the bottom line over improving security. Anyone basing decisions on trivial cost/benefit analysis would come to the same conclusion.
What's needed is an increased risk. I think a mandatory tour of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan would do nicely.
Perhaps I should have been more clear. I meant anyone involved with making the decision to ignore security. And the CIO, even if he had nothing to do with it. He should have.
The CIO of this company and everyone involved in the IT policy with regard to security should be in jail forever. There is absolutely no excuse for this at all. SS and Passport information? This can cause headaches that never end for the poor victims.
Just further proof that this Administration only cares to ruin lives.
It's not clear to me why any business or public institution should be able to turn over its records to law enforcement without a search warrant.
Then you are a complete idiot. Do you really believe that I should have no control over the records I hold? That I cannot, of my own free will, decide to pass them on to others?
There are classes of records for which this is actually illegal. HIPPA covers medical records, for example. For anything else, it's completely legal. It would be an abuse of MY rights for it to be otherwise.
You can diassociate names without losing how many different people checked out the book.
As for what they checked out, that's the problem. If other people (it should not matter how official they are) can get your records, you have to balance privacy versus convenience.
I'd rather have privacy, as the Federal Government (all branches) have shown themselves to be completely immoral and corrupt.

I am an orthodox Jew. Nonetheless, I strongly believe that you can never prove whether or not a Creator exists.
That should read: I am an orthodox Jew and therefore, I strongly...
I am also an orthodox Jew, and the existence of God is a matter of faith. If it could be proven, it wouldn't be a matter of faith.
Your sig is oddly and disturbingly appropiate.
...and they need to be put in their place.
Which is 6 feet under, IMO.
On my Macbook, I use USB support to get my GPS usable in my WinXP VM. Garmin has been promising OS X support for ages, but it's not here yet AFAIK.
If VMware Server had the same level of USB support as does VMware Fusion (Workstation product for OS X), I'd use it at work for my iTouch.
Yes, if you get the .app bundle, you can install it manually on a jailbroken iPhone/iTouch.
Games do much better on the console.

And if you buy the Apple hype that OS X is a UNIX...
Why would one have to "buy the Apple hype" to believe such a thing? In what way is OS X not Unix?
That's the OEM license. Which, admittedly, is what most people have.
And how badly you abuse your hardware :)

Get A Mac? Spotlight does this.
Not that I disagree with your point, but I really hate people who assume that speeding is automatically more dangerous.

I would!

You don't even have to be experienced; you just need a modicum of sense. Of course, how many people have that?

It's not the same. Warrantless wiretaps on 3rd parties is completely illegal. Period. There are no exceptions.
It is, however, perfectly legal, in most cases, to assist with an official investigation of one's own free will, without a warrant being served.
