And it only seems to happen in places like the Ukraine, Kyrzygstan, and Lebanon, where the people are tired of their corrupt politicians and petty dictators.
Unlike the US, where the general population seems to be fairly happy with them.
While there is a bit of thematic overlap between industrial music and science fiction, and while I personally love his work, I don't think Chris Carter is an appropriate nomination for the SF hall of fame.
A photograph you take is created by you, and therefore yours to do with as you please. Barring unusual circumstances like the inside of military research facilities and such, the subject matter is irrelevant (bad example, because that wouldn't actually be a trademark issue).
Just wait until you try to enter names into your phonebook with that thing turned on. Predictive text is useless for names. I can't believe they'd have that turned on by default.
When I first got my Nokia 3660, I thought it was broken because I was completely unable to enter text the normal way. After some time, I finally figured out what it was and, more importantly, how to turn it off. I haven't turned it back on since (but granted, I don't use SMS, so I don't need it for regular typing).
I'm not the OP, but Samba on OS X mangles file permissions something awful. I have a desktop G4 running Samba at home. Files accessed via SMB between the two Macs have their permissions reset to rwx------ (on the server, files in shared directories are rwxrwxr-w). I see this both on my iBook and my SO's Powerbook.
This is a complete pain in the ass because we use the desktop as a web development server, but when we upload files from our laptops, we have to SSH in to the production web server and fix the permissions manually.
I haven't ruled out that it could be a Samba config issue on the desktop, but damned if I can figure out where the problem is. I used the exact same smb.conf on a Debian machine previously and it worked fine. Apple's support forums were no help.
Not to mention that, with free wireless networks, spammers don't even need to bother with trojans. They can fire up their laptops and spam to their heart's content without having to worry about being identified.
This is a problem with any type of open wireless network, not just city-run networks like the one being talked about lately.
On the one hand, I'm very much in favor of community-run open wireless networks. On the other hand, the potential for abuse is huge. If only people weren't such destructive assholes...
RSS readers, being essentially special-use web browsers, are not obligated to honor robots.txt. They certainly aren't robots/web crawlers. If your RSS reader is checking robots.txt restrictions before retreiving RSS feeds, it's misguided at best, if not broken.
Hey, thanks for the link, that's really interesting. The map is a little hard to read, but it looks like you don't have any coverage around my work (near Mongomery BART). I'd love to help out around here, but I don't know that my boss would be up for putting something like that on the roof. Too bad.
The EFF's BayFF is having a related event next Tuesday in San Francisco. I'm planning on being there.
EFF Celebrates Innovation at BayFF! Check Out the Latest Gadgets and Hang Out with EFF at Our February BayFF
WHEN Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
WHAT Inventive Gizmos - A Celebration of Innovation
Innovation. We love it. The upcoming BayFF is a celebration of all the technological wonders we've been able to enjoy thanks to the legal shield provided by the 1984 Sony Betamax ruling. Come check out cool new gizmos from local tech companies Elgato, Slim Devices, and Sling Media. EFF attorneys and tech gurus will talk about how you can help protect the pro-innovation environment that allows gadgets like these to flourish.
You can't expect MS to provide support for non-MS operating systems, and that extends to updaters as well.
I do expect Microsoft to provide patches for other software of theirs, regardless of whether I'm running it on Windows or emulated (I know, Wine Is Not an Emulator...).
To give just one example, a Linux-using web developer may find it more convenient to run IE via Wine than to have to shut down their Linux session in order to boot into Windows to test their code.

You didn't miss much. Penny Arcade is the most consistently unfunny comic I have ever read. Even worse, is that I've only read them when people do like the above, post ones they apparently like, so I can't even think that maybe I've just read on the wrong days.
Legally, that's true, the first amendment, etc, does not apply to anyone but the government (ie, the "congress" part in "Congress shall make no law...")
However, the principle is the same. He was punished for his speech. In our society, "freedom of speech" has a broader meaning, not strictly limited to government. We expect to be able to speak our minds and voice our opinions without having to constantly look over our shoulder to see who might be listening. The practice of employers firing their employees for speaking publically about work will have a chilling effect just the same as if the government were doing it.
Was Google's action legal? Absolutely. Was it right? Was it consistent with their motto of "Do no evil"? That's debatable. In my opinion, it was not.

I prefer to blame missile deaths, as well as any other death involving military-style arms, on Fox news.

For some, decidedly non-free, values of "free", anyway.
You know there are other ways to get medications online, right? Ways that have nothing to do with spam?
Don't even get me started on some PC hardware vendors assuming I still have a floppy drive in my PC in this day and age. What year is it again?
Biased in favor of civil liberties? You say that like it's a bad thing. If you're talking about some other alleged bias, please enlighten us.

And amazingly, no one mentioned #655321 (Alex's prisoner number in A Clockwork Orange).
Here's a nickel, kid. Go buy yourself a sense of humor.

Don't bother. Digital Fortress, the only Dan Brown book I've read, is the biggest heap of shit I've ever wasted my time on.

Nice, but I think it was a little too subtle for most Slashdot readers.

That's right. 20k should be enough for anyone.
