I don't want anyone to make the internet safer except myself. I installed the Firewall. I installed the AV. I installed all the other safety stuff. Not the government, and I don't want them to bud in.
I don't want anyone to make the neighborhoods safer except myself. I patrol the streets. I chase car thieves. I catch all murderers. Not the government, and I don't want them to bud in.
Think about this: if the build number is in hex (i.e. 0x8A428), this is the 566,312nd build of Tiger.
Now, about 18 months passed since the release of OSX 10.3. This means that Apple built OSX Tiger about 42 times per hour, without stop since Oct. 2003 (OSX 10.3 release time)!
IMAX is a business set to serve the local customers, in order to make money. AFAIK, IMAX has no mandate or requirement from the local, state, or federal government to present scientific films.
The "minority" that you mention is the local audience that those IMAX theaters are trying to serve and make money from.
This no different from a movie theater in, say, the Castro area of San Francisco (i.e. in the gay neighborhood): no such theaters would show anti-gay movies, featuring Jerry Falwell, because they would get no customers (and probably risk getting burned down).

Counterfeit money too should be legal, based on this argument.
This is not useful, because there is no way to differentiate, in a P2P system, between people who download a file to use it and people who download a file in order to prosecute the source.
if you're not in the position to be affected by this, shut the hell up
with apologies to Rev. Martin Niemoeller:
"First they tagged the highschool students, but I was not a highschool student so I did not speak out. Then they tagged the policemen and the firefighters, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they tagged the immigrants, but I was not an immigrant so I did not speak out. And when they tagged me, there was no one left to speak out for me."
Fear the trend.
Second, in reply to
for the pupils, this is actually a benefit
I think this is a benefit to the people who want to track the students, not the students. These RFID badges can be lost just like any other swipe card, so they do not benefit students more than a swipe card.

It took 10 years for the news to reach IBM's Fortress-Of-Denial (TM).
What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, what if it is tommorow's story and today's dupe?
Sure, but you get all sorts of half-baked web pages.
The web flattens time? What was the shape of time before? Was it fluffy? Did it have spikes or bumps?
The problem is that the geek surface (known in the trade as "skin") repels water. Thus water does not provide any coooling or cleaning benefits.

OS X is finally catching up to the level of UI elegance of Linux!
And then you have to type:
/var/run/lightsaber.pid`
kill -HUP `cat
The best things on the Internet are either illegal (e.g. attacks), immoral (e.g. porn), or unhealthy (e.g. spam).
Just wait till we move to 64-bit Video-On-Demand...
RedHat has something called GFS -- the Global File System.

Bob says:
These bureaucrats stripped away the privacy that you're entitled to as an American
There is no such entitlement (compared to EU, for example).
That sure is straightforward. Sometimes I wish other programs were as easy to use...

When RFID spoofers are outlawed, only spoofed outlaws will have RFIDs.
Yeah, that is why there are no plans to support Flash in GNU Emacs !!1!!1!

The keyword here is "market" -- in order to have a market, you need a seller and a buyer. Who is interested in buying?
