It used to be that "on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog".
Now, not only does everybody know you're a dog, they know what kind of dog you are, what kind of french poodles you like to look at, what kind of dog food you eat, where you like to play fetch.
My father-in-law had an original LJII that survived the Northridge earthquake (about 2 miles from Ground Zero). It fell off the table and hit the floor. We picked it up, reconnected everything, and it worked, no problem. Try that with any modern laser printer.
I misinterprereted the parent then. I thought it was saying "the right to privacy isn't specifically listed in the Constitution, therefore, it doesn't exist."
When the movie studios advertise DVDs, the advertisement always says "Buy it today!" (or "By it [insert-time-frame-here]") or "Your last chance to own [insert-title-here]!".
Yet the movie studios insist that we have not purchased the content, but merely licensed it. It seems that the studios are trying to have their cake and eat it too. Isn't this be a clear-cut case of false advertising? If so, why isn't the FTC cracking down on this?
AFAICR, they check off that I voted, and they may have a separate log indicating ballots used (yeah, they have a serial number), but from what I've seen, they don't have any linkage between the two.
Sophisticated encryption technology will scramble messages containing the ballots, and voter identity will be verified through digital signature, a prearranged procedure to authenticate the voter's signature.
So in order to vote, I have to give something that says "red floyd". This is unacceptable. When I vote in person, I have to ID myself.
BUT... there is nothing linking that ID to my ballot. With this system, it's almost necessary, given the fact that they need to validate that this is my vote. In other words, they have something that says, "red floyd voted for CowboyNeal". This is untenable, most likely illegal, and quite possibly unconstitutional.
Disclaimer: I would not vote for CowboyNeal for President. Natalie Portman, maybe:-) (after all, she has experience as the First Daughter!)
He's not talking ICBMs. Missiles are also theatre weapons. Consider the Exocet or Silkworm. The Navy is always looking for more ways to defend capital ships against those things. Yes, they have Aegis and Phalanx, but it never hurts to have another system (assuming it's reliable).
Now you're in for it! Apple's lawyers are going to sue you for not putting the (R) after the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field(R). Because as we all know, Reality Distortion Field(R) is a registered trademark of Steve Jobs and Apple Computer, Inc.
It's a product with a specific end-use, dude. They're not selling you a wrench (or a pen) and telling you not to use it. They're selling you their product, a game system. They're not selling you a computer for you to use at your discretion -- even though that's what it's made of.
Faulty argument, Jason.
GM sells me a product with a specific end-use. Specifically, for ground transportation.
If I want to do something completely different with it, such as carve it up for sculpture, or make it into a planter, or seal it up so it can be used as a boat, GM has absolutely no say in that.

Mandrake has a DVD distro.
ObIANAL.
If that's the case, then it seems to me that this would be in violation of the 8th Amendment.
"Author, Consumer, and Computer Owner Protection and Security (ACCOPS) Act of 2003"
Exactly how are consumers and computer owners protected by this act?

So what are some other pieces of computer equipment from antiquity that people still use because they're made better than anything today?
I believe we discussed this a few days ago... IBM Model M keyboard.

Doesn't that make you a thief, according to the media industry?
You're stealing their content without "paying" (by watching the popups and adding Gator)!
The space shuttle broke up over Texas, and nobody got hurt.
I assume you mean "nobody got hurt on the ground". There were seven people who did get hurt... to the point of dying.

Hell, there's even an IE skin for Moz, so they don't have to miss anything!

Give me a centom or two, and I'll figure out the time unit translation!

You know, you don't just build a CVN overnight. This ship was commissioned several years ago (during the Clinton administration, IIRC).

Not to mention the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX.
If you use Cdex, you get that trick exposed really quick!

I can do whatever the hell I want to do with it.
which will grind into rocks to give scientists a peak inside
Wow, they're going to grind rocks down into mountains! I'd really like to peek inside those rocks to see where they hide those hills!
Don't bother with your Congressman. It's your local (State and County/Parish/Whatever) officials who decide your voting mechanisms.
I thought it was Jack-in-the-Box?
