This complies with my sense of justice pretty well.
Absolutely.
As a compensation for this, artists get paid from a fund.
Nope, I take it back.
I would consider those rules fair if the artists were only compensated by sales, but if artists are going to get paid from a fund that rapes everyone whether they share or not, it needs some serious broadening of scope.
To me, Fair Use rights are the copyright equivalent of human rights, they are inherent and do not need to be paid for. The fact that you are paying for them makes it a license not rights.
If OS X can drop down a window asking for an admin password before installing updates, so can W64.
That's stupid. Users will just get into the habbit of typing the password on command, just like they click OK without reading the messages.
Far better to have an installer system that allows signed packages to be installed without the password. At least for the currently logged in user; it's scary how few applications actually give you the option to install for everyone, or just you.

Good thing I don't use X anyway (console forever!)
Multibutton rodents are as close as we're likely to get to a practical "cyber glove" anytime soon.
You need to think in 3D. Instead of text, icons and a mouse, think of objects and the mouse as an extension of your hand. You have multiple fingers and a wrist - the buttons and wheel(s) are the multiple ways to can hold and fiddle with objects.
Seriously.. single button mice and classic MacOS are why everyone hates Mac users. They suck - everyone knows this, and Maclots violently insist(ed) they don't. Mac people finally admitted as much even back in the OSX beta days, vowing to never go back. Soon as Apple comes out with a multibutton 'elegant' mouse, you watch them all disown their previous '1 button forevah!!!!' ways.
After reading of the problems with power mongering RBL lists, I decided to rely on SA myself.
With SA, there's the problem of used bandwidth and the possibility of false hits (meaning I still need to check the spam queue from time to time).
It started getting out of hand.. 180 spam per day a climbing.
So I started using RBL, and later reverse DNS checking (no rdns = bugger off)... and it's fucking magic. I'm getting ~300 unique spam hits per day and ~500 total hits, all rejected. About 5-10 make it through, and SA catches those.
The main advantage is the sending SMTP server gets to deal with notifying the sending user (if any). With SA it's pointless (and stupid) to bounce spam.
There are nuclear plants running Windows (use Google). They're just used for non-critical or redundant purposes, and usually on a private network. Of course, private networks don't help if you fuck up your firewall or you let any old contractors plug their laptops in...
The USAians seem to rely on 'checks' a lot more than the rest of us, so it only follows they'd be protected more. Of course.. at that point it becomes less of a bank's order-to-pay and more like dynamic cash.
Most service/retail outlets in Oz wouldn't be caught dead accepting personal cheques. Membership fees and other paid-in-advance accounts, maybe. But against cash, EFTPOS, BPay, and credit cards, cheques have few or no advantages, and may take days to clear.
FWIW, my HP scanner works fine in WXP without installing any drivers.
I can either use the Windows scanning thing (I prefer not to, coz it wants to warm up the lamp before every scan, even if it's been on for an hour), or most Windows graphics progs, like Photoshop.
The HP scanning app sucks MAJOR. Some retard is storing free space as bytes in a 32bit integer - if you have 4GB + 1 meg of space left, it thinks you have 1MB left and refuses to scan.
Maybe if I had some funky feeder or something I'd need the drivers, but it's a plain no-frills dealie that Just Works {tm} Not that I'd necessarily buy any more HP products though...
Simply have an option that will allow the ringer to simply be suppressed so long as the Bluetooth single is present.
That saves the bother of turning anything on and off (and possibly missing it on the way out), as well as requiring script kiddies to actually follow you around rather than fire and forget.

Maybe they'd care if you were more specific about the fault. That BSOD is there for a reason, you know.
Yes, FOSS has it's faults. The same ones it would seem. Nobody wants to chase bugs in other people's compiled crud.

The Queen of England is still our Head of State. Mostly due to the fact that little johnny is a fucktard and sabotaged the referendum.

Once you've snarfed all the data from a form into a file or DB, it can be barfed back out in whatever format and layout you want.
