Once you get a more general and rounded education, you might find you like something else better, or combined with CS. It happens to a lot of people. Honestly, I would not hire someone that only knew CS. They are boring people. Expanded yourself and use your education to do it.
Yes, a sane rational person would think this, but unfortunately, this is not how the world works. What this really does is make movie companies do only safe content, crap that sells to the mindless masses. It's sad, but it's true.
I hate this DRM crap because I like to watch my DVD's (that I paid for) on my other devices. He hates this DRM because now he can't freeload. Pay for what you watch, stop ruining this for all the rest of us.
You're assuming it's a UI. Have you ever looked at raw weather forecasts? It's all fucking TTY shit. In this day and age it's all coded and packed for 150 Baud transmission. I doubt they are using a new-fangled GUI.

Depends how much bandwidth they use. I offered to let my neighbor use my wireless, but quickly receded the offer when he started running P2P all day long.
There is a coffee shop here in Portland that has free wifi and it's filled with people with laptops. That is all that is there, and there is never a free table. I stopped going there for my afternoon coffee.
I think there is a downside to it being free. I'd like to see a simple system where I get 30 minutes free with a drink. Not sure how that would work, but it would keep the free loaders out.
No, you're *required* to. It's what separates tools from hobbies. Most people want the computer to be a tool. All they want to think about is the task they want to solve, and that does not involve messing with the computer.
I want my car to get me to work and to the store with the least bit of my involvement. Most people want that of their computer as well.
>>But I'm not an advertiser, I've only studied it a bit, so what do I know.
Nothing.
Advertisers should pay *more* for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th showing. That's were it all starts to sink in and become effective. Seeing an add once does nothing.
Yes, but that says Cory has alternate motives as well. Cory does make make is living off of writing books, be does not depend on it to put food in his mouth, that coupled with downloadable books being far worse than paper ones to enjoy (for most people, not all), makes this more of a "stunt".
But it is no secret that I have no love for Cory. I think his milatant attitude is not helping the cause for copyright reform and relastic DRM soltutions.
>>I'm sorry, really, but with this level of understanding you have no business whatsoever in configuring mail servers. Ask your sysadmin to do it for you.
I understand it, I just don't think it needs to be as hard as it is. My server is running just fine.
Dear god, those two sites you linked to are shit. Shit I say. It makes me long for iTunes.
The independent bands are going to get nowhere until they figure out how to market and distribute.
That's what the RIAA companies are good at, and it's why bands want/need a label. They do a lot more then slap a CD out.
What we need to a label willing to *pay* artists, *pay* for marketing and *pay* for distribution and shun DRM. Until someone comes along willing to do that, and is successful, nothing will change.
But you don't see anyone willing to do that do you? I wonder why? There are tons of rich tech people that scream about DRM, why don't any of them start a music label and show the world.
Why should you have to google for something though ?
Because, installing open source is a big scavenger-hunt. And you're always an idiot if you don't know what I know and didn't spend 10 hours reading badly written docs.
I think the ass-hole attitude of the grand-parent is proof of why linux is not ready for the desk-top.
Just run behind a router ($49) and you've solved most of those problems until you get the firewall up and running.
I installed Linux about a year ago and was infected due to an exploit in the ftp server before I could get everything current, so this is far from a Windows only issue.
JFC!!! You're links just proved the parents point.
Pages and pages of stuff that you already have to understand to understand. I agree, mail servers are needlessly complex. All I want to do is receive mail and send it to 3 users on my machine, and have them be able to send mail via TB to the server without it become a spam relay. Why is this so damn hard.
Maybe it isn't but they people that document mail servers don't have a clue.
Why is it so damn hard to have the mail server require a user and password to send mail though it. I don't want to set up a hole SSL TSL BFD system with certificates and crap.
Why is the that the same program that receives mail from the outside world is the one that accepts connections from clients. This is silly and contributes to the spam problem. Much like POP3 or IMAP is a separate program, so should the one that accepts mail from a client like TB or Outlook. Then we wouldn't have this will spam problem.
Mail servers are still stuck in the mainframe days. Time for someone to rethink this mess.

"The mobile games industry has exploded over the past few years, driven largely by titles built for iOS and Android."
No this isn't true, it has been driven almost exclusively by iOS. Leave it to /. to have to throw Android in there.

create an encrypted .dmg file. That's what I do. Not perfect, it it works.

>>It is as impossible to steal "intellectual property" as it is to steal fire.
But if you don't stop borrowing my fire without paying me for the work I put into starting it, I will stop and you'll freeze.
Come on, it would be:

Starbucks does not offer free Wifi. You pay via T-mobile, unless your store is special.

I suggest you sit down next to a non-nerd user and watch them download and install Linux. You can't help them, you just watch them.
Problem #1. Downloading Linux...really.
>>you have the permission to open up the hood
No, you're *required* to. It's what separates tools from hobbies. Most people want the computer to be a tool. All they want to think about is the task they want to solve, and that does not involve messing with the computer.

Why are IT people such jerks.
>>Altemiter to detonate
Common myth, the plane is pressurized to 8000 feet no matter how high it is, so an altmeter would never read higher then 8000 feet.
And, the whole plane is pressurized, not just the top where people sit. Planes are round for a reason.

One. War Games. Everything since is crap.
