I play Quake III Arena with my wife. The trick is to select bot levels that are somewhat challenging for you and not overwhelming for her. And not to (necessarily) kill her everytime I see her.:-)
She likes the game for its escapist qualities; it allows her to take out certain aggressions...
These cartoons were originally published back in September and did not elicit any response. Only now when the Danish representative to the UN is slated to head the board that decides investigation and punishment for countries like Iran, did Syrian operatives start whipping up this sentiment.
So later when this rep, who is pro-America, tosses his vote in to punish Iran, the jihadists can say, "See! He hates our religion, remember the cartoons from his country, he is anti-muslim and we reject his authority."
The sad part is that most of the protesters don't even realize they're being played. Of course, they're mostly young, unemployed thugs, so I guess that's not so odd, after all.
Troll on, but you miss the mark, my uninformed friend.
Whether he is uninformed or not is not really the point; many large corporations/industries already take a dim view of Microsoft's wheelings and dealings, and that alone will make this hard to implement. Add to that the mere fact that it *is* X.509 PKI we're talking about, and the scenario completely falls apart. It's here where the OSS world starts to shine, with its OpenPGP PKI and its lack of reliance on central CA.
Seriously, it's not that bloody hard to figure out. No legitimate corporation is going to send you emails threatening your account "unless you log on and confirm this information."
Look at it as the digital equivalent of the Survival Of The Fittest.
Order the Windows Updates on CD now, so it'll be there when you return. Run the updates before connecting to the net. Then check for even newer updates from MS. Immediately update anti-virus and anti-malware products.
Perhaps Walter Ritter (the software author) will consider releasing the source code for pearLyrics? Especially since it is now (thanks to the lawyers) not a viable endeavor.:-/
Two examples of how trademarks have made it into common speech. "Linux" made it even faster, since it has been an all-encompassing term for a collection of software for years. "Linux" is only the kernel; a small fraction of the software that comes on distributions that include the name "Linux:" Red Hat Linux, Debian Linux, Suse Linux, Mandrake (Mandriva) Linux, Damn Small Linux, etc. The majority of the software on these distros is true "third-party" software, and the next largest category is the GNU "glue" that holds it all together. The kernel is way down the line, here.
Torvalds is likely to do for "GNU/Linux" what Stallman never could: get people to start calling the OS after something other than just the kernel.
After all, how should we divide up credit among developers of all this software? People balked at calling it "GNU/Linux," but at this rate, GNU sounds a hell of a lot better than GNU/Linux/Apache/GIMP/OSS/KDE/Gnome/Enlightenment/ Xmms/Mozilla/Audacity/X11/ARTS/CUPS/Java/Mplayer/W INE/MySQL/Perl/Python.
They shut down because they were never meant to pump out hurricane swells, just normal rainfall. It's a basin, remember. Might as well ask, why did the air conditioning go out in the Superdome when they have generators? Because they weren't meant to handle it.
...i tend to use one of the easier distros called mandrake...
Mandrake consistantly handles most hardware and configurations I (and my clients) throw at it, often better than such industry mainstays as Red Hat. I went through a spell of trying out a bunch of different distros (still do, on regular occasions), but still came back to Mandrake. I know it's supposedly the friendliest distro for "Windows users" (and as an ex-Amiga user, that doesn't really hold any draw for me), but I think maybe that reputation comes from the fact that it just works. Hell, I'm still using MDK10.0 on my personal machine...just haven't seen the need to upgrade.

I leave it blank.
It actually looks pretty handy, like a 3D Alt+Tab.

You mean like XGL does?

Now if they could just separate Windows from most machines sold in the U.S.
Both company's support sucks. Dell needs to rectify that before going out and buying another customer service nightmare.

Of course you have to stick to a rigid business-like organizational structure.
Then you totally disregard ESR's premise in "The Cathedral And The Bazaar."
Granted, but if you were a record company, which would you be more concerned about protecting? 128K files or 192K files?

AC or not, this parent needs to be modded up.
They should really have someone professional do their taxes.
They did; they used Jackson Hewitt!
The good news: IBM is spending one billion dollar on Linux. The bad news: it is all going to their lawyers...
Probably not. IBM's lawyers are likely on retainer.

I don't think so.
There's the question of the extent of the Executive's power to conduct military operations during wartime.
Uh, I believe the President *does* have that power. To a fair extent, anyway.
Did you mean "during peacetime?"
"Cry, baby, cry..."
"...make your mother sigh."

Be careful, Linus...be careful what you wish for.
