Other than that, the only time I've seen it happen is if I make an OS image on one machine and then try and use it on another with different hardware. That's still stupid, but at least I know how to avoid it.
I don't really consider that "stupid". I've moved my Linux install through several motherboards, the most I've had to do was occasionally install a new kernel or driver. (Like when I moved to ATA/100).
Yet Windows has had problems moving between motherboards for years now... it seems like it's just an accepted thing that you have to fully re-install for it.
It's a motherboard, not a bloody processor architecture!
I dunno, I guess I got too sick of reinstalls (both at home, and supporting ~250 machines with 8 different images:-)
Why are we supposed to rejoice when a part of the federal government leaves one commercial package for another commercial package?
Because they clearly realise that they have choice in the matter. That they acknowledge that alternatives exists, and critically evaluate the alternatives, is the most important thing here - not what software they ended up with.
Well, first of all I didn't say recording the AUDIENCE. I said AMBIENCE. Preferably you don't hear the audience in 4'33".
What creates the ambience, if the audience doesn't?
I can't imagine that the audience would play anything except the largest part in the creation of it; since they'd likely outnumber the performer to such a large degree.
If then, his performance is nothing more than the sum of the "ambience" created largely by the audience, then they too should get a cut of the profit:)
the rules of the venue normally dictate you cannot record the performance without the consent of the artists involved.
Quite so - but then, if the "ambience" is recorded as the primary part of the piece, and the ambience is largely generated by the audience (which I still believe to be so), then unless the tickets say that the audience may be recorded and have those recordings used royalty-free, then Cage would be "copying" the work of his audience!:-)
Didn't they do something like this with the Trillian protocol on MSN Messenger? They hate third parties.
Actually, they switched from the then-known MD5-based authentication to using Passport authentication - which was known by both the Trillian folks and the open-source camp well before the cut-off date.
It wasn't a deliberate act of blocking out other third parties IMHO - it was merely dropping backwards compatibility for a protocol they hadn't been shipping in years, which I reckon is pretty fair.
(FWIW I use a hacked-up Gaim - the MSN protocol is not terribly secure by design, and the 6.x+ clients are horribly written...).
I wrote one in a few hours on my A500 in some weird BASIC dialect, worked OK. (Actually, didn't support using links so it was almost pointless;-).
IIRC, MSFT made the mistake of trying to rewrite Word, and scrapped the "scorched earth" version after a few years because it wasn't feasible. I doubt they'd have any more success with IE in any reasonable timeframe.
Slashdot Mirror
They stole our effect!
It wasn't so much "stealing" as it was "infringing"...
My '85 520i BMW has this. I'm pretty sure all the ones since then have them as well, not sure about before it though.
I think it's a great feature, but it freaks me out when I drive my father's '88 535i, because it hovers on 50% more usage than I'm used to
Well, I would agree, but then why does slashdot post every IE bug that comes up?
;-) :-P
They don't - otherwise there wouldn't be time for other articles!

It depends.
If the hunter is a "good guy", his bullets will be true and strike you with deadly justice and accuracy.
If the hunter is a "bad guy", he'd just as likely miss the whole herd...
Ode to localhost?
My localhost's armpit?
But I wish she would at least try not to use English a bit better.
;)
Right!

That's what the guy said! +1 Obscure!
You can still use the mounted ipod to play music through the system you're recovering - drivers allowing, of course! :-)
I thought that the Jan 1 2005 changes (Thanks, FTA...) made large-scale infringment a criminal act?
From a console or terminal, "killall gnome-panel".
It should restart.
Thanks... for the *pointer*?
;-)
Surely, "Thanks for the object reference"?

Take the IO out of BIOS?
:-P
BS!
That should give you plenty of cookies with authentication info...
Search for the right extension and you're likely to find MSN Messenger logs from people who have shared out all of "My Documents" without thinking!
No server, no authenication.. no IM..
;-)
No server, no authentication, no email...
Oops.

Yes. However, it is highly likely that Cage would not have given permission to record his piece being "played," so the point is moot.
I didn't give him permission to use my faint cough in the piece, maybe I can go sue him?
What gives Cage any more right than anyone else wanting to record the audience?

But not both?
Yes!

How fucking hard is it to spell "fucking"?
He's not from around here. I saw him drop out of this worm-hole-looking thing. Big and swirly-like, you know what I mean.
"To run the build I have, you need about 5mb of memory to display www.google.com."
... there must be something wrong both with platform and the browser if the simplest page on the net need 5mb to render itself :(
:)

He's only just started, give a fella a chance!

How does this affect Jabber, which also uses IDN?
Note that this was discussed three years ago on the IDN mailing list.
