Your argument is like saying that you want your car to go backwards when you signal for a left turn... and not being able to make it do that is the fault of the designer.
Meanwhile, every person in the world is going to activate the turn signal when they want to turn.
BUT it doesn't do what he wants - not to have to worry about where he has to click exactly if he wants to close the current tab or window.
Because expecting the user to click in certain places for certain things to happen, especially when using a mouse, is TOTALLY unreasonable.
The fact that the user isn't really owning up to is that he is using a behavior to close a window when he doesn't really want to close a window.
So... if you change the behavior to not close the window... now you need to come up with a way to deal with the people that actually want to close the window when clicking on the close window widget.
Stopping copying is not the same as not enabling it.
Tivo doesn't need to implement a system that keeps people from copying files. They do need to take reasonable precautions against enabling copyright infringement (maybe), as determined after the fact by a jury.
I'm sure most juries would find it reasonable to believe that the *average* person would not take their Tivo apart... and take their computer apart... and put the hard drive from the Tivo into the computer... and run a different OS than the one that came with the computer... to get the data off the Tivo drive.
Standard disclaimer applies... IANAL. (Tho you probably aren't either)
The only problem is that the subscription is tied to the box, not the owner. that's why I stick with monthly subscriptions.
It is also why my five year old box, that I paid $199 for, is still worth at least $199.
I've replaced the two moving parts (fan and hard drive) and just bought a new remote... good investment as far as I'm concerned.
And a hell of a lot cheaper than the monthly fee over the five years! (I paid $199 for lifetime sub)
And... I also have a Myth network to catch the stuff I want to record while the Tivo is busy or perhaps save a bit longer. As far as I'm concerned... it (Tivo vs. Myth) isn't an either / or situation.
The only reason to run Debian is if you believe in the politics behind the distro.
I could give a rat's ass about the politics of the distro.
Or the cost.
I run Debian because it is the easiest distro I've ever found when it comes time to update/upgrade.
I simply can't afford (nor can my customers) to take a machine to bare metal for an upgrade. And while most distros really try to make the upgrade from one version to the next easy... most are not "production quality" as far as I"m concerned.
If you want to deploy systems with a long service life, Debian is a fine choice.
It would appear that the legislature passed into law a powerful incentive for county governments to foreclose upon private property by giving them the authority to keep all the "profit" realized from such sales for government activities.

Maybe I'm getting a little old... but I'd definitely call it a *soft* error after the neklace part happens. At which point you're fucked. (past tense)

The walkthrough on Electronic Frontier Foundation says that to legally do this, you have to do it before July 30, 2005.
That was true when the article was written... but no more.

... Not a network... and show the files in a Samba share.
Make up your mind, do you want a network or not?

Fer christ's sake, the dude said he was in the army.
You could at least learn to tell the differnce between a soldier and a marine before you ask them to rip off your head and shit down your wind pipe...
Do you have to say that you're using Linux?
Personally, I think it is important to say that you aren't using Windows and have no way to run IE.
Actually... I think that is all that you really should need to say.
How 'bout a country that had 13 of it's citizens drive planes into two of our office buildings?
That one seems to be beyond our reach...
I do it every time.
I would never follow a link if I didn't know where it went... at least, not on one of my computers.
That was the first thing that turned me off of using Safari when I got a Mac... until I found the option to turn the status bar on.
I've never found a link so compelling that I would click on it without knowing something about where I was about to go and what the file type was.
As I look around myself, I see eight computers... and a window.
But, no computers with Windows.
For the record, none of them even came with Windows.
So... how is it the same?
Does this take into consideration having to shell out the $$ for the Windows OS?
Give it to google, let them do it.
You'll have it forever, and anyone will be able to pull it up.
(Too bad they don't offer this service... yet.)
The true cost is higher.
We don't have enough information to determine manufacturing cost.
All we know about the $12,000 is that it is a subsidized *purchase* price. And that the unsubsidized purchase price is higher.
The manufacturing cost could be *much* less.

There's no such thing as the force, and there never will be
And, this is different from other religions how?
If you think you own your house... don't pay your property taxes. You'll learn real fast that "owning" property *is* a grant by the government.
Here in Idaho, they don't even have to give you the excess money your place brings when they take it and sell it (for back taxes).
You lose it all. BTW, Idaho is a *very* red state.
Yes, but the male victims don't complain about it.
Go figure...
Moral truth?
If there was such a thing, you wouldn't need to be indoctrinated into a system to understand it.
It would be readily apparent.
Simply put, the god of the bible would be sentenced to death for the crimes he committed.
If they didn't put him in a padded room first for being psycho...
Is this continued voter ignorance just another attempt to avoid responsibility for the actions of the people YOU voted for?
The people *I* voted for didn't win.
The people that did win, got the most money from someone.
Sure smells like something was bought to me...
You aren't suggesting that the parent should trust someone more than he trusts his own personal experience, are you?
As for the rest of us, what you say makes perfect sense.
But, not for the parent when he specifically said "me" as to who was convinced.
I don't consider this to be a bad thing.
I really don't want the people in my community reproducing anyway...
P.S. I live in a red state... figure it out.
