I keep hearing the marketshare argument, but it doesn't hold water. There are still more Apache webservers than IIS webservers, but which one almost shut down the internet by propagating Code Red? The worst hole I've seen in Apache lately is one where a user can see the contents listing of a directory even if that's turned off.
The Oracle at Delphi was interpreted by the Pythoness.
[totally OT]
If the interpreting priestess had been a Cameless, the whole point of the Oracle ("this is what will happen") would have to be changed ("there's more than one way it could turn out").
Nitpick: the technology can store pictures of anyone it wants. It matches against the faces of a police-selected list of presumptively innocent people.
Yes, there are some things that need to be separated from children. Paedophiles, pederasts and censors spring to mind. Other than that it's my job to instill my values into my children (which will have a greater or lesser degree of success depending on their personality). I don't want my children drinking in bars, but that doesn't mean I want to close down all the bars in my neighbourhood.
You could always lock them in the basement. That way they'd never be exposed to any harmful influences and they'd grow up to be fine, upstanding citizens.
Slashdot provides no easy way for the slashdot users (even thru Google)
to do a search for all comments by any one slashdot user. This of course
helps to prevent the slashdot users from getting a better view of anyone
slashdot user.
Perhaps you hadn't seen this link under the title of your post:
It tells me you've posted 217 times, gives me a link to your last 24 posts (dating back to 2001/12/21), and shows that only two of those 24 have been modded as high as 3.
The needs of the few record companies outweigh the rights of the many to back up their valuable data without having to get an id number from the government.
That is not complete security. All an attacker would need is one more disposable person than you have bullets.
Also remember that the most prominent spies in recent US history have had very high levels of security clearance. You might be able to stop spies coming in, but you can't stop the people already on the inside becoming spies.

Don't diss Dumbo. It's a very good story. I don't think Disney could make something as good as Dumbo today.

Speculators and traders may make money on fluctuating exchange rates, but they don't generate any wealth. The wealth is generated by businesses that under the current system, don't have any good way to predict what their supplies will cost, or how much they'll be able to sell their finished product for. Both of these vary because of the actions of speculators and traders.
In fact, the only variable under their control is theur wages bill. Guess which is going to get squeezed when the speculators and traders decide to increase the costs of your supplies while decreaing the value of your finished product?

Of course, this wouldn't matter in the USA, because the USA is run for the benefit of corporations. The EU appears a little more concerned for the livelihoods of its citizens.

How many people would you kill for one million dollars?
This is the calculation the corporations in the above post made. If corporations are made up of people like you and me, why don't they answer this question the same way?
I mean, yes, this is a nuclear reaction that occurs in supernovas, but it's only one of many. If you come to my house and I sell you a book, I have not recreated Barnes and Noble in my study.
How intuitive is it that your car's engine won't start unless it's in Park/you push down the left pedal? How intuitive is it that if you push the key marked 'k', a 'k' will appear on the screen? Not everyone has used a typewriter.
Is this still true? I know the latest version of Windows CE (formerly known as Talisker, now called CE.NET) has a feature called "Execute In Place" which I'm pretty sure means that the program is not copied into RAM.

Not good news, or well-reported news, or objective news, but I didn't see any full page X10 ads either.
That could have something to do with The Proxomition, though.

But the access was authorized. He bought the DVD. There is no law I am aware of that says you can't minutley examine your own possessions.
You want more money than someone who is just as good at your job, and that is somehow the fault of the GPL?
Plenty of closed-source companies have had layoffs recently, too.

Hot Bits uses a Geiger-Muller tube pointed at a radiation source. About as random as you can get.

Actually US immigration as a percentage of the existing population is *below* that of several other countries.

That "junior D.A." would be
Robert S. Mueller, III. He is now director of the FBI. I would say he got what he wanted.
Eighteen. Twelve.
Yes, you lost. We were just very generous and asked for nothing except the US give up its territorial claims in Canada.
This is why I would want one. And I do. Too bad I wasted all my money on Christmas gifts for the kids.
What has this to do with stars exploding?
