First, as you read in the news, very few people have a PC, so I'm not sure having a PC at home for kids will be that common.
Then, knowing "linux" instead of "windows" does not mean anything. I guess there is more difference between windows95 and vista or between kde and gnome (which is what they would see) than xp/gnome or xp/kde.
And there are custom themes to reduce this look&feel difference.
What's your current budget for online music today ? Agreed, with more songs per $ you would have more songs, but why would you give more $ for music than you already do ?
If you're spending $5 per month buying music - and downloading the rest - sure going 100% legal would need cheaper songs. But if you're spending $0, I guess it's not enough to lower prices.
If the massive scale download you are talking about is more than 50 songs/month on a sustained basis, then you should consider the all you can eat per month offers.
I know I have a European bias toward this, but why couldn't the ? I mean, given the huge funds invested in private research (ahem colossal military budget), I am sure this would really be a drop in the bucket but will have great effects.
I mean, why not just put it under a military budget or academia ?
Qt is a development environment too. So people will be able to code on windows and make applications available on linux.
Besides, I don't think people run Win for itself. So the less apps are linked to it, the easier it will be to switch (look OO.o, if you are accustomed to it, no pb to switch OS - except the 699$ of course)
Why couldn't they choose the quite standard way of doing those vulnerabilities publications ?
- Crack the system
- Alert the maker of the system
- Give him time to fix the flaw
- When it's fixed, publish
- More robust system for him, fame for the hacker.
you know, if you really are up to that, you must think of a SIM card as a small (16-64k) filesystem.
Files are organized into a tree structure in directories and protected (read, write..) by PIN codes. Files can be seen as fixed size arrays of fixed siez strings. The GSM standard specification (GSM 11.11) says that, and what information can be found where. (example, on the directory 'GSM' - which is really a filenumber on the sim instead of a filename), you'll have the last number dialled (LDN file).
the procotol used to open/read files is fairly open.
That's it. So what's so special to write such a program ? You need e.g. serial access to the card interface, the SIM specification, and a small script language, then a few hours later, voila.
(or you could put the SIM card in a phone and check the information)
What you don't have is access to the pin protected information, and good luck to attack those since all european telco industry relies on this.
We are back at square one with a CPU controlled by a clock. No gain.
Except said "clock" is one million times slower if we speak millisecond-wide granularity (HZ in the kernel is, what, 1024 now ?), and a lot of asynchronous processing can happen between task switching.
They are providing a drm-free, "open" format, to sale the favorite show of many ppl. This is one of the more "slashdot-friendly" audio download ever, and then what are the first posts here ? Download it for free on emule or torrent or rip the stream.
C'mon, please. Mod them as troll, which I hope those comments are.
Well the original online verison hass been written by JWZ and agregates pics from the net. you could see it here. BEWARE : uncensored images are collated from the internet. Not always work safe, thus.
I didn't RTFA, but since I understand most of the differences lie in the warranty (and lack of any), if you re-release the software without those special no-warranty licence, the original sumitter is still protected from any lawsuit in french courts, so it's not about more rights regarding the software, I think it's more about lack of responsibility. If you re-release, it's your problem.

How long before emacs is ported? ... or a web browser ?
Progressive downloads.
You can't patent it now that's it's common knowledge (because it's been published to /.
Even if you did publish it.
Of course, this is only theoretical, in a world where patent office DID check for prior art.

I think the answer is in the question.

Which ones ?
instruction READ does not provide the protected information unless you provided the PIN code. So, no copy for you of course.
.
Then, 3 bad PIN renders the card unusable. No brute force.
Even calculation times and power consumption (generally) have been randomized to prevent attacks. Info is hidden from Eletronic microscope
Not so trivial anymore.

X usage generally reports video ram usage, isn't it ?
1- take a small vga screen
2- pretend it was twice bigger
3- get a half size vga display with vga resolution
or did you mean a quarter of the pixel count ?
NO, you shouldn't "pirate" it.

Ahh so you don't know of the new (-1,leftist) and (-1,rightist) moderation options, then ? Oops, I've said too much.
Which in the long run is a good thing, because people will then use real security, and if it is not easy enough to set up, some solutions will emerge.
In the long run, thus, we'll have real security and ease of use.
What are you talking about ?
Look at the IOCCC Winners Announced story : that's software being delivered on time! With full source code!

I'd assume any professionnal in the ISO commitee updates its products based on the standard. And then, sell them. So what ?

Haven't you seen ? There's a new firefox today !
88/100 = 0.88
So it's about one second.
500 lap race = 440s. Not insignificant.
