If goatse causes your child to need conseling, you've done a shitty job as a parent. I first saw it when I was maybe 13 or so. I thought, "That's disgusting", closed the window, and went on with my life. If you seriously believe that parents should limit a 16-year-old's internet access to a whitelist of dictionaries and kid-oriented websites, I want some of what you're smoking.
Those "old" cassette players in cars? A friend of mine has a 2001 Prius with a tape deck. Car cassette players are still alive and well for people who don't want to pay extra for a CD player.
Some of what it detects are definitely false positives. On my machine, it claimed to find registry traces of eDonkey and Grokster, which it says contain adware. But the keys it found were put there by Shareaza, a non-spyware open-source client.
Since it evidently doesn't work well for what you need to use it, it was a poor choice. Debian/Ubuntu or Fedora would probably have been better. No one will stop you from using RHE3, but you have to deal with its limitations.
You're both right. The labels wanted DRM, and the competition lock-out was a side benefit. As has been posted elsewhere in this thread, Apple wouldn't get rid of Fairplay even if the labels allowed them to.
You don't need admin access to install Firefox. Just download the zip and extract it in a user directory (My Documents or something). You can still use IE for web apps.
Yeah, but Redhat's business model involves distributing software. If they didn't release the changes, they would have just sunk a bunch of money into code that they weren't gonna use at all.
If you even read that page, you would see that Godwin's Law is an observation, not a regulation, and "calling" it is meaningless. All it says is that, as a thread gets longer, it becomes more and more likely that Nazis will be mentioned. It doesn't even say that the thread will end at that point.
Also, the tradition is that "whoever points out that Godwin's law applies to the thread is also considered to have "lost" the battle, as it is considered poor form to invoke the law explicitly".
Yes, Word 2003 can save in an XML format, but the default is still the same binary, proprietary.doc, as it has been for at least 10 years. 99.9% of Office documents are still in undocumented formats. When MS makes XML the default and offers a plugin for the 90% of Office users still using older versions, then I'll believe in their commitment to interoperability.

Only if you give them the password to your account, in which case you have bigger things to worry about.
AFAIK, there's no federal law on such matters. Some states require you to notify the other party, some don't.
Why not just ask your neighbors to switch channels? I don't think they'd mind.
Apple USB keyboards (and many PC keyboards) have extra USB ports you can plug the mouse into. If you really want to, you can always buy a $10 USB hub.
"Hats off to Cringely"? What? He was completely wrong! Apple didn't take a big risk; they're not selling the Mac mini for $249.
That's what I got too, even though I've never changed IE's default security settings. Maybe it's because I'm using Win2k3?

Um, all /. submitters are anonymous. Just because they signed up for an account doesn't mean you have any idea who they are.

But at least it has wireless.
Actually, it's not even that. It rhymes with "pollster", so the pronounciation is more like "molsture" then "mole-star".
No it wouldn't. Using a large font size on a high-resolution monitor gets you much sharper text than the equivalent size on a low-res monitor.
And teachers and farmers in a capitalist society makes less than PHBs or stock speculators. Where is the incentive to do useful work?

Has Apple refused to license Fairplay to other companies? Or have other ocmpanies just not asked?

Heh.
To elaborate: Red Hat didn't choose to release their changes; they were forced to by the GPL. That's what makes the GPL so effective.
Don't you mean "on behalf of the RIAA"?

So you're a loser twice over.
Actually, it doesn't really change the Micro. Just the Soft.
