Not to burst your bubble, but free and open-source software has been duplicating efforts (by copying commercial software) for a while now. Also, there are multiple FOSS projects aiming to build the same software.
If the goal is not to duplicate efforts, wouldn't it be easier to enhance an existing piece of software instead of building a parallel implementation? For example, GNOME would be much better off if all the KDE developers stopped working on KDE and started enhancing GNOME. Or, vice-versa, KDE would be better off if GNOME developers worked on improving KDE.
I think the "duplication of efforts" argument is a red herring at best.
Of course, if the download of the bootloader to the PDA fails, then you are left with a completely dead PDA. You would have to send it to Compaq for fixing. It used to be that Compaq Research Labs would fix the "brick" (=dead PDAs) for free.
Does anyone recommend a particular brand of CD-R(W) disks best known for longevity, while on the subject...?
Kodak Gold CDRs and Mitsui (Archive) Gold CDRs are quite good, if a little expensive (prepare for $1+ per CDR).
It has become completely overrun with results like sony.dscp10.reviews.digital.cameras.hot.sex.now.fr eesexsite.com that it's becoming incredibly hard to actually get any information out of it.
In the case of McDonalds and other places that actually require some kind of physical labor, all employees probably have at least one hand (for example, to flip burgers or to punch in orders). Some goes for programmers, BTW.
Hmmm, that would be true only if the regex language is Turing-complete, which it is not (because it is a regular language, not context-free, not context-sensitive, not Turing).
The point is that if the functionality is made available to end-users through a decent interface (GUI and/or CLI), then a lot more programs will improve their handling of file formats to add metadata. Once the users get the taste of it, there will be no end to the new metadata associated with each file.
Bugtraq and vuln-dev are meant for posting exploit code. A virus goes beyond that, it has mechanisms to infect, spread, possibly a payload that does damage. So I would say that you are guilty if you go beyond writing an exploit.

Actually, I heard that in order to make it twice as secure, they will use ROT-26.

Water is made of elements common on Earth.
How about javahelloworld-1.0.rpm ?
Sometimes it is better to focus on quality rather than quantity...

Oh, I see, it's CSPAN I should be watching, not CPAN. Obviously a typo...
Does CSPAN support regexes?
Short, green, and wrinkly... hmmm, sounds about right.
It is not. If you check carefully, the "My Rights" folder in Windows 2000/XP is indeed empty and, by design, it cannot store anything.
For simplicity, here is link to previous Slashdot threads, as per parent post:

I believe the title of your post has a spelling error!

Freudian slip? Yes, please!

I do not see a license for that script. Is it GPL'ed?

So you are the one that held back Fiber-to-the-Home! Bastard!
If you build it...
