I don't have the link around, but I can remember some comparisons in Spanish law, looks like the punishment for pirating a CD there is much higher than stoling the physical thing from the store.
Secure DNS isn't an accepted mechanism, and has
some issues. SSL is still a better option IMO.
And yet, a TLD isn't foolproof when any fool can have a malware that render the client endpoint in non-trustable (e.g. tainting completely the web browser and or TCP/IP stack).
4. You don't like Linux because it actually enforces security which will only allow you to save to places where you have access? If you don't know
And if you use non admin users in Windows, you will have can't open and can't write issues also. And Windows don't give helpful messages in those cases neither.
Or just pick the required shared libraries and put in any place where the linker can find them. That is what distros sometimes do. And this is what Windows does too, some weird compatibility hacks aside.
Indeed. A couple of guys were caught here while voting, and while voting is mandatory, but well, if you stole a few thousand or killed somebody, you shouldn't worry for obeying the election law.
But, if he bought the books after she disappear, say, for the sake of studing the case, he could point to the store. In a small store maybe the clerk remember him, in a large (or virtual) one maybe the invoice record could be found. Even if he can't remember the precise date and hour, a search on a certain week in a given approximate time could be successful.
BTW, there is not really "third party" cartridges for most of popular printer brands. One of my customers is a guy who sells and deliver ink cartridges, both original, third party, and also does refills. According to him, third party cartridges for HP are made as industrial refills of used first hand original ones, as the cartridges includes the printing head, hence they aren't suitable (for required technology and I guess, also patent matters) for manufacturing. The same is true for most brands but Epson, as Epson printers have a fixed head and cartridges just holds the ink.
I like web development a bit, but I really BELIEVE in the desktop. Yet it's reasonable to think that the Google generation of home users will rely more and more on apps that are just an URL away.
But, again, I believe in the desktop. Currently, duplicate desktop UI functionality in a web page is painful. And not everyone wants to pull his hairs out writing a FPS relying on DIVs and Javascript!
On the other hand, I hate DB desktop apps, as year passes and few tools/platforms are really up to the task of deliver results as easily as it should.
HTML was wrong because if you write the stuff yourself they had nothing to sell. Worst part, while I'm not sure if you can ever stop using Delphi for PHP and still be able to further develop your app, or become trapped in both the IDE and the Windows platform.
The problem of biodiesel and worst, of vegetal oil, is long scale availability. While the concept is good on paper, you barely have enough production in the world to do 5%/10% biodiesel (so, forget any dream about the world running on biomass resources), and at least most of these vegetable production currently feed a lot of people. Bet whatever you want, salads won't be cheaper when bills enforce use of biodiesel in Europe and other countries.
Sorry, configure scripts didn't exists 15 years ago. And some silly changes can also hit you. Linux source issues with compiler versions are well known, but you also can find other examples. I remember our local bearded guru fighting to compile a thing only to find it was so old it was written not in ANSI/ISO C but in the original K&R style C. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure you can run early Linux binaries today, providing you also find and install all the old libraries it could require, and have a kernel with COFF format support. Anyway this is a seldom case, as usually the Linux way is upgrade most of your software when you upgrade your distribution, upgrade third party FOSS (because you don't have to pay for the upgrade), and eventually recompile some software you got from source in order to get fresh binaries that works with the newer versions of the libraries.
I hope laptops don't care if a child must redone a school year. The fact is, kids learn (or worse, don't learn) at 14 the kind of things were taught at 9 when I was to elementary school. The "reason" behind this (besides our evil governments like controllable masses) is that higher grades teachers lose its job if not enough kids reach their grades.
And of course, our government will put this as a grand achievement of their own, like the "My 1st PC" program (Government backed program for selling Wintel computers for first time users through the biggest stores in the country. Lots of retail computer shops and FOSS activists whined with little result).
Sorry for the rant, I'm angry. The only good thing is they don't have the "toys" GWB have at hand.
Mmhh... I used my Pentium II/266 for 7 years, until mid 2005, and Linux (Slackware up to 9.1, KDE up to 3.2) worked faster than Windows 98 (compared with older linuxes) and 2000.
Most of your other complaints are misguided or plain wrong. Modern X has alternative, high performance ways to comunicate with applications, like shared memory and DRI. And up to date KDE have point and click USB drive extraction.
MMhh... I'm just disappointed by NVU being a tool for pretty basic HTML editing. Is just a Mozilla Composer fork with little enhancements.
Dreamweaver is different to anything else. Before DW you had Composer and Frontpage, both rudimentary visual editors, and of course text editors with pretty useless HTML tools. DW was the first HTML editor I found to be as good or better than writing markup by hand.
NVU cannot compare, and even development seems to stopped after 1.0.
OTOH, Quanta Plus is nice as code editor, but visual mode is unusable.
While Photoshop is with no doubt a helluva software, Gimp (and CinePaint, I guess, and maybe, in a future, Krita) seems as a capable enough replacement for at least some tasks (I'm not a professional graphic designer, so I admit pros can have reasons to rebate this).
On the other hand, I have not seen any single decent WYSIWYG HTML editor in Linux (Nvu is a joke, Quanta visual mode is immature yet it's a good code editor). IMHO Dreamweaver is the real champion in any platform, and is probably a more desired port.
The sound() help topic in Borland C++ referred to a story in Australia where a factory emitted 5Hz noise, killing all the chickens in a nearby farm because that's the chicken skull resonancy frequency. I guess more than one kept the desire of trying their chicken killer appsy;-)
The matter isn't MS using existent features from other systems, but the fact they do it a very long time after the feature showed up for the first time, sometimes very long time after power users want that feature (preemptive multitasking and a decent filesystem comes to mind), yet most people won't realise all of this but take it as novel ideas.
You can think about it as statistically stabilized. Market share is often modeled as a Markov chain, where some people stick with a brand with probability p1 and some people switch to competitor brand with probability p2. So month after month numbers can vary, but averages in the long run don't.
This seems dangerous. If RH people get access to that code, they can be constrained to write code for FOSS, or eventually sued a la SCO. Especially projects like Xen, Plex86, and Bochs come to mind.
Check this one with Firefox. I sent a complain, but I guess it didn't pass the customer attention moron who receive the messages for the "Contact" link, as the site has no reference to the designers to blame them directly. Interestingly, it's not blocking my Konqueror (even with spoofed IA)
Cook recipes are one of the favorite RMS's examples. Also he told about sex advices, of course, you maybe cannot use that without disturbing some people. If possible, try to get a record of RMS a speech about Open Source. I heard him live in a Linux event and was very funny. It could give you some ideas, providing you mention your sources;-)

Well, in a way he did.

So, DW has no true alternatives. Period.

That of course is neither the same thing or a compatible replacement for Windows Forms.
Sincerely, the last thing Miguel did I liked is Midnight Commander.

Besides the installer, FF is provided as a zip file, and you can uncompress it anywere. So it should work too.
