If George Bush hired him, he can do whatever he damn well pleases with the reports. But as long as my tax dollars are in there, this guy is welcome to speak the truth. So long as he's clear about what's his opinion and what's NASA's opinion, and it sure sounds like he has been.
Why should we support DRM systems that "put off the average consumer" instead of a DRM system that would "put off the pirates who sell massive numbers of copies on downtown street corners"?
...but this is what RMS has been arguing for decades. Sure, Microsoft can give software away for free. But that's not as good as 'free software', beacuse then the recipient is locked in to proprietary formats, and they need to pay a specific company for upgrades (and possible support, manuals, and so on).
Sure you can knock Microsoft for tax deductions, but the whole point of this article is that software and file formats should be free ("and not as in beer").
Plugged in the 2000FP on analog, and it can't lock on to text-mode Linux. The top line is off the top, and the bottom line is off the bottom. Auto-adjust doesn't fix it. You can pan with the onscreen menu, or zoom in, but not resize in any way to shrink the screen. It's a shame -- the other LCD I tried (KDS Rad-9) had no such problem, and has full resize capability in the menu in any case.
How will IP verification help? If the attacker can get the victim's browser to issue the trace, why can't they get the victim's browser to issue the follow-up requests using the information gathered by the trace attack?
Okay, so let's assume, for sake of argument, that it really is high-performance hardware. Congratulations, you've solved 1/2 the problem! But why, when serving a totally static article, do we get results like this:
Warning: Too many connections in/web/admin.hardwareanalysis.com/include/db.php on line 9
Unable to connect to database. Too many connections
Next article, I hope to see how they've rewritten their site to only use the database when it's really necessary.
Number of songs you can play without switching CDs: 15? 18?
Number of MP3s you can play without switching hard drives: 2000? 5000? more?
Plus, with the multi-GB players, you can take your whole collection to work, to the gym, etc. And you can just drop all the songs you don't like. And let's not forget about playlists. And...
I don't have any MP3s I didn't rip myself. But even so, why would I ever go back to CDs?

Me too -- I tried Yellow Dog and it was, well, terrible. Whereas Ubuntu worked like a charm.
Still, I have to say, I prefer OS X.

So Microsoft would need to drop backward compatibility...
All programs would need to recompiled to take advantage of the new features...
Right about the time Intel is ready to move their consumer CPUs to IA-64?
I prefer, "Xpensive86"...
When your next CD comes with a dongle, you'll know what's happened!
