If you include in Wikileaks the people who are stealing the secrets and giving them to the organization, then Wikileaks are hackers. They're quite a bit less technical about their acquisition of data, but they are the most famous representative of the hacktivists subset of (cr|h)ackers that includes those who are more technical. If you prefer, you can always think Sneakers.
8) Website devs who force simple articles to split unnecessarily across multiple webpages. They're in it for clicks and ad revenue, essentially scamming multiple banner-ad buyers into paying for the same article read. Here's an example.
The physical one would be purely for academic training. Far too hard to reconfigure to match many real-world scenarios.
The virtual one could be infinitely variable. And with physics processors you could get wind patterns involved. They should open this up to modders on the web.
There may be restrictions, but the smartness of them is the draw.
But when you take that model that iOS and Android make attractive, and you come out with Win 7 Mobile, you're throwing a big pile of dumb at the smart. The market seems to see it, too.
If MeeGo is Fisher-Price to Android's Gund, it's going to fail no matter who develops it.
I don't see the word "all" in his post. Just "the".
As we've seen, doing anything that antagonizes "the muslims" will get you targeted by the violent muslims, of whom there is no shortage.
Which, again, makes them like almost all religions. There are a few religions that don't have as much violence to them. But even Buddhists like to kick a little ass from time to time.
Not the first time religions have embargoed their own literature.
It used to be illegal to own a bible that wasn't in Latin. The Priests thought that if people could read it for themselves they'd (a) figure out they were being lied to about what it contains and (b) not need priests even if they told the truth.
The Inquisition was coordinated by an office of the Vatican that has since changed its name to something that doesn't actually say "Inquisition". Technically, the Inquisition still exists. It just hasn't burned anyone at the stake since the 1830s. No, not the 1630s, the 1830s.
I did. I expected them to walk away from it and leave it to the open-source community. But then, Nokia isn't all that big a deal any more. It's not small, but it's no longer the pac-man portion of the pie chart in handheld sales. So not having Nokia simply isn't as big a difference to Intel's plans as perhaps we were thinking.
I say the opposite. Intel doesn't sell operating systems for a living, it sells chips. It only does software to get people to need more chips. It would be entirely in Intel's interest to make this OS as open and free as possible, to get it into as many hands as possible, to create demand for chips that will run it well.
Authentication is the same as playing. Something has to decode it; whether that's an open code or a secret one doesn't matter. If they decide to just turn off the ability to play it, then they've sold me something other than a book. And I should have paid less for it.
When they find their revenues dropping, they'll lower price until it's at a barely-profitable level above their marginal cost, which is $0.
Frankly, I'm dumbfounded that they haven't gone to an ad-supported model and started giving the content away for free, though I'm sure some have tried and failed only because the ones that haven't have tied up all the good content.
I don't have to return it in a set time and I don't have to pay more over time.
As long as the machine that plays it still operates, it's mine.
This is no different from all that boxed late-80s/early-90s software that's taking up shelves in my home office that I highly doubt I could get running on any machine I currently can boot up.
And soon it may be no different from anything I've bought for Windows, ever.
A book is personal property that contains intellectual property. Possession of it as personal property implies a license to access it as intellectual property. You have a right to sell it as personal property, and with that the same license you had, but not to sell the intellectual property, that is the right to create more licenses.
When you copy it electronically, you are diluting its value as intellectual property, and eliminating its value as personal property (the copy has 0 value, since you can give it away and still have exactly what you had before; meanwhile the intellectual property owner can no longer command the same price for new, licensed copies).
eBooks with DRM create a situation where the book is no longer personal property. The nook you're holding is, but the content is not. Each copy has 0 value, and the license to access it holds all the value.
And that is a contract you agree to when you purchase access to the book. If the contract states that you can subsequently transfer that copy to another, then you should value it higher and expect pay more. If it states that you can transfer a copy and keep one for yourself, then you should value it still higher and expect pay much more. If it states you can make all the copies you want, then you should value it very high and pay a lot for it, if your license is exclusive, but pay almost nothing for it if your license is not exclusive, and nothing if the intellectual property is essentially being unprotected by its original holder.
I don't see any legal conflict here. They will structure their license as they rightfully see fit, and you will either buy the book or not depending on the price.

It doesn't have a name.

True dat.
Ain't no wall-hacking in a physical model.
No one wants to see the pr0n made with the $50 model ...
You'd be surprised.
Mod points, where is thy sting?
And you don't want to have the thing blow a fuse on the air, live, then wait for it to reboot.
Pretaping gives you opportunity to clean the show up in case of snafus, which are legion when TV is being produced.
I have a feeling this isn't going to give us the ultimate question to the ultimate answer...

All religions are akin to all religions.
Ghost stories and the irrational human actions they justify.
Not the first time religions have embargoed their own literature.

No. They will, however, kill your box.

If it has behaviors that iOS, Android, and Windows 7 Mobile lack, but that consumers will want, it will sell.
If, on the other hand, it's the same old shit in a new, dumber wrapper, it will go the way of Microsoft Bob.

Then insist on paying less or not buying.
