"poor forward compatibility"? WTF? New versions of operating systems usually contain new features, and people will write applications that take advantage of them.
While I can see people's point when they complain about the newish LFG tool, I really don't want to go back to the server-wide LFG channel. It was basically global Barrens chat.
three quarters of the way through his court martial, he's decided "Wait, I'm not guilty, I was following lawful orders! I wish to change my plea!" and it's been allowed... I mean, wah?!? Er, this ex-judge has pled guilty, been convicted and sentenced already. Also, you're comparing a military court martial to a civilian trial.
That's insane. You mean I can call you a child molestor, specify dates and times and childrens' names and the court will accept as a defense against libel the fact that I have no idea whether it's true or not? I can't believe any legal system is that bad.
Perhaps they are worried about proprietary software being stolen by anybody that can get their hands on one, but you'd think if you really wanted to you would be able to do that anyways.
They could also be worried about people uploading arbitrary code into them, and then getting the blame when something else goes wrong.
First, net neutrality is really a misnomer. It's really just special interest legislation, dressed up to sound less self-serving. Did you know Microsoft, Google and Yahoo are lobbying for net neutrality? If they're successful, they'll get a special, low-government-set price for the bandwidth they use, while everyone else -- consumers, businesses and government -- will have to pay a competitive price for bandwidth. [It] doesn't sound very neutral to me.
This guy deserves some sort of prize for shameless, bald-faced lying.
As the other person who replied to you mentioned, there is OpenOSX.com's "WinTel" (or whatever they call it), which is based on Bochs. However, it is emulating an x86 processor on an x86 processor (!), and therefore runs painfully slowly.

The Sydney Morning Herald, who have put a copy of the photo on their website
The manufacturer of the camera that took the picture. Didn't they know that there was the potential for this when they made it?
Did this family hire Steve Dallas as their lawyer or something?
Yes, Google has blanketed Mountain View, CA with a WiFi system. http://wifi.google.com/
When I was growing up in the 70's in California, the prefix was 767, and would remember it as 415-POP-CORN.
Actually, Close Encounters came out after Star Wars, although they're really close enough together that they were in production at the same time.
That actually sounds like a pretty good idea.

Did you actually read either of the linked articles? CDDB is incidental to the determination that the recordings are not really Hatto's.
Why would IBM be going for MySQL, when they already have DB2, which is a big money maker for them?
Did you read the article? The National Association of Broadcasters' complaint is about the repeaters. NPR's is specifically about the FM modulators.
You are absolutely right. This clown doesn't want you to decide what your children can see. He thinks that *he* should get to decide what they see.
It's not, the person you responded to is wrong:

"Fairplay" is the DRM used by Apple. "PlaysForSure" is Microsoft's. I do agree with you, tho.
Chicken?

Have you ever heard of this place called Canada? You know, the Great White North?

what happens to that fantastic apple warranty if i replace my own battery? that's the difference.
If it's under warranty, why would you be replacing the battery yourself?
Finally, a use for Arnold J. Rimmer.
No thanks.
I really liked watching Trio TV when it was on DirecTV. Unfortunately, they got into some sort of dispute, and were dropped.

Yup, OS/2 Warp 3.0 is what I was thinking of when I wrote my initial comment.
