On the surface such a request may seem silly. But if they can offer a services package with the software making it easy for someone to sell tickets, they might be able to find a sponser. Especially if it is less cost/better features than a closed source solution.
So the bottom line, is this a competitive solution to ticket selling? I bet it is.
Neither have I. What I do see a lot of is Windows XP machines filled with spyware, trojans, viruses, and hijacks to the point that they operate like a 486, if that.
It's so bad that I no longer mention that I work with computers to aquaintances for fear they will hit me up for a removal job.
Actually this happenned to Kevin Mitnic when the FBI confiscated an encrypted disk. He never handed over the password on 5th amendment grounds, and the FBI were not able to decrypt it.
However, he spent three years in prison without a trial, which was a travesty of justice. He then reached a plea deal with the FBI.
Though he asked for his encrypted disk back after he left prison, the FBI didn't give it to him.
I don't know if the status of his encrypted disk has changed since (as this is a few years old now).
But I believe that you do not have to offer up something that may incriminate yourself. But as you can see, the government was able to suspend Mitnic's right to a speedy trial.
Also, with the patriot act and the way our current government is acting, all bill of rights errr bets are off.
I wouldn't go that far. Buy the CDs used or from indie labels. The RIAA hates this as they don't see a dime and it validates the concept of "owning" a piece of music.
Please deliver your classified military payload safely. May the death, destruction and oppression contained in your hallowed cylinder bring freedom to all 'muricans!
Just like the Global Position System (GPS) does, which is a military payload. Bringing better lives to millions.
The most important part, maybe step 5.5, is polish it all so that steps 1-5 actually lead to 6.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Rather than whine and moan about how Apple managed to cobble together (and maybe steal) resources, people (i.e. programmers) need to look at the final polish that Apple gives it all.
It's this "polish" that linux lacks in many instances and is what Apple sells when the day is done.
It's also often the hardest part to do, as usually the last inch of any effort is.

Wearing a kilt isn't a bad thing. I have in fact thought about getting a utilikilt myself.
:D
Smelling like a rolling McDonalds is another thing entirely
I have yet to meet a windows machine that didn't need a yearly reinstall for one reason or another.
And tell him to browse his porn with opera or firefox
Normally I would agree with this statement. However the malware has become so pervasive on Windows that countless innocents are getting it as well.
You are right about reinstalling. It is often quicker than trying to weed it out, and the only way you can be sure that you have removed it all.
With my family, they are moving to linux or getting their own machines and servicing. It's just too much of an hassle/risk anymore.
Plus you can't run a Prius on used cooking oil
You mean been given the nickname "french-fry" by your neighbors??

I'm a linux noob, so I do not know if this is what you are referring to. You can right click the link and use "save link as" to get the actual file.
While I would say this is a serious issue, I would not rank it with the other (numerous) jaw-dropping exploits IE has had.

High-Def picture:
They can continue ruining their own country, and we'll run ours the way we want to.
Uhh, excuse me, the American people do not run their own country anymore. Large corporations run the country for us.
These are the ten cities for the screenings May 5;
Atlanta, GA
Austin, TX
Boston, MA
Chicago, IL
Denver, CO
Las Vegas, NV
Portland, OR
Sacramento, CA
San Francisco, CA
Seattle, WA
realised its own state of perfection, and ceased to advance for lack of further necessity.
Actually, it just got cancelled
Solution: stop buying CDs.
I wouldn't go that far. Buy the CDs used or from indie labels. The RIAA hates this as they don't see a dime and it validates the concept of "owning" a piece of music.

According to XE.com, US$0.99 = AU$1.27. Why then are they asking almost almost $2?
Because Australia is where they sent all the pirates in the olden days.
They were never "buffering", but they were "steaming".
There. Fixed.
If you were stranded on a desert island and your mp3 player could hold only 25 songs, which ones would they be?? Would they expire before you did??
At least Microsoft will have the sense to make it load fast and without crashing innumerably...
Until that overflow exploit comes along that gives strangers access to your hard drive.
In addition, the DVD box set will contain;
episode 3.7 "The Stink of Sith"
episode 3.85 "Diapers for the new jedi"
episode 3.958 "Big nanny wookie"
Wow. Am I the only one that thought the JPL must be some license agreement like the GPL
Actually it is. It's the Jerk Public License.
Like for Nikon and their ilk.
Stallman gets up on a podium and starts banging with his shoe shouting, We will bury you!
That's the most ridiculous thing ever. Nobody would ever do that, especially RMS. I don't think he even wears shoes.
Yes, and the fact that each individual page is in a "in protective sleeve."
Thus the place where a library sticker might be (the spine) is gone.
Very convenient....
I didnt find douglas adams' work to be all that genuinely funny
I do think that the BBC radio's interpretation is in fact immensely funny.
For the radio series to have this quality, it had to have good material to begin with.
The quality of humor is a subjective measure at best. A good deal of it also depends on the mood you happen to be in when you read it.
