I am very much against the disclosure of criminal records. after you have paid your fines, done the jail time, had the therapy, and worked the social job you were sentenced to, you are supposed to have served your penalty.
Tell that to the people who passed "Megan's Law", which requires convicted sex offenders to register with the police in the community to which they move after release. Note that "sex offender" includes consensual adults convicted under sodomy laws for example, not just rapists/child molesters/etc.
Talking about looking at the big picture, there's a great book, called Why Things Bite Back, by Edward Tenner. It's about how technology changes physical problems for people from one type to another. For example, as we went from an industrial/agrarian economy to an information economy, we went from injuries such as fingers being lopped off by farm equipment and black lung, we now have carpal tunnel syndrome, to give an oversimplified example.
Mostly, I like checking out each different platform.
I hear that. I take it that, considering they're all running the same OS (namely, CE), that the differences are in the I/O - the different screens and input devices. Any insights?
Your pockets must be full.;) What do you do with three of these devices? (For the record, I have one Palm III and I use it - obsessively, some might say.)
Like putting a larger fake diamond in front of your more valueable, more hidden valuables.
I once heard someone say they would leave a $100 bill lying around in an obvious place in their house. Their idea was that encountering a burglar was potentially worse than actually being robbed. Their hope was that a burglar would take the easy reward and split, rather than linger, looking for the better (but harder to carry) goods, or risk encountering the resident.
I even recall that it could simulate an entire network.
This sounds like a good job for one of those old mainframes running 41,000 copies of Linux. Just set it up as a chain of virtual networks: that is, the first VM sees the internet and the second VM; the second VM sees the first VM and the third VM; etc.
By the time someone makes it to the 41,000'th VM, you'll have time to decide how to deal with them...
Interesting point. Perhaps this ambiguity will ultimately lead to a Supreme Court decision mirroring that on pornography, saying "I don't know how to define source code, but I know it when I see it."
As with pornography, such uncertainty will lead to "community standards" for source code. For example, in a VB-community, C will be considered too low-level, and thus not protected.
Think about it: their business plan was open for all to observe. The open source community, among others, exploited a bug in that plan and the company fixed it.
Didn't MSN offer a big rebate on new PCs if the buyers also signed up for their service? When they found out that their agreement didn't preclude cancelling the service, they fixed that bug in their business plan.

At this point there are 76148 machines registered; one of these could increase this number by 50%!
I do. Or did. A guy with the same name as me was executed a few years ago in Pennsylvania for killing his wife, I believe.

What if everyone in Australia legally changed their names to Rupert Murdoch? That would piss of the ol' bastard, now, wouldn't it?
Given Australia's history as a penal colony, does this mean you can look up her founding fathers in this list?
And an hour later, when your file has trickled through that cell modem, you can listen to it!
I second that. In /etc/XF86Config, I use mouse protocol "MouseManPlusPS/2" for mine.

Better check David Bowie's house for the missing one, then...
At first I thought that was Roberto Begnini having another of his moments.

On the contrary, I'm a recovering mathematician. I'm in an n-step program.
