MS' code being out there would cause nothing but SCO style problems anyway. What is needed is to force (full) disclosure of (actual) protocols and formats. The last thing we need is accusations of improperly using MS' own implementation.
Other people's code isn't necessarily good documentation and usually won't drop into another project's tree anyway. Why is there such emphasis on code? Should we be talking about specifications?
Compared to solar energy, it's somewhat favorable also
Strictly speaking, this grass is solar energy. It's just that plants seem to be more efficient at converting solar energy than anything we've devised thus far.
It is still the difference between a bicycle with training wheels and a motorcycle. Once the complexity of what your trying to do gets to a certain point, clicking on pictures won't be expressive enough. Automator will be a good tool automating desktop tasks. Using it to design init scripts wouldn't be the world's best idea. Incidentally the GUI vs. CLI argument is older than this. If you have the commands down cold, a task like this will be accomplished faster than the time it takes to click all of the pictures and string them together. On the other hand, there aren't that many people who will learn the commands in the first place.
It is not like Wine. Mac On Linux is a virtual machine like Qemu or Virtual PC. You can run Mac OS from 7.6.x all the way through to OS X 10.3 on it. Networking and Sound are well supported and the speed is quite good since it virtualizes the G3 and G4. The only flies in the ointment are that 2D video is not well accelerated and 3D is non-existent. It nonetheless works perfectly well for 2D desktop apps.
How about a game with big bonus points for whacking self-aggrandizing politicians? Since they're getting in such a tizzy for pretend cop-whacking, let's up the ante to pretend politician-whacking. You could even lift Postal 2' startup disclaimer "This game should be played by children,.......or politicians seeking to enhance their careers."
Well over 90% of what a ClamAV filter I administer catches is variants of HTML.Phishing.Bank. This seems to agree with the other posters who say that attention has shifted from 0wning machines to 0wning bank accounts. Netsky consistently comes in a poor second.
Al Gore's plane crashes somewhere in the Rockies. When the food supply from his fellow passengers finally ran out, Al become desparate. He killed a Spotted Owl and had just dug in when confronted by a Park Ranger. He was of course arrested and had to face trial....Given the extreme nature of your circumstances and the lack of premediation I'm inclined to dismiss this case. I'm curious about one thing though, what did the Spotted Owl taste like?"
"Well, it was gamier than Bald Eagle but wasn't anywhere near as stringy."
That is well within the range of archers and spearmen aboard the ships. I'd like to see this shown possible 400 yards out with plausible Greek tech. We aren't talking about firing a derelict. These are supposed to be ships full of armed sailers and marines.
I've posted it before and you've given me the opportunity to post it again.
I'm usually not in favor of the death penalty. However, not only am I in favor of the electric chair for spammers; I'd replace the switch with a dial. After rigourous (and fun I might add) trials on the many spammers it would be marked like this:
There's hours of fun to be had as mail admins take turns lovingly sweeping the dial from 1 to 4. The mail admins will of course charge admission to mail recipients.
The child porn purveyors can get the special wire that goes in the pants.
They were attempting to replicate what Greeks could have reasonably done with the technology they had available. The myth isn't that you can use a bunch of mirrors to set things on fire. The myth is that Greeks 2500 years ago were able fire ships some distance away in a harbor. They wouldn't have been using any sort parabolic mirror and even a concave one of any reflectivity at all would be a serious stretch. The Mythbusters did a decent job of showing that the ancient Greeks probably didn't have sufficient mastery of optics to make a practical sunlight weapon.
Traditional file search isn't good enough since in addition to being too brain atrophied to navigate a file system, they also think that "Document 1" is a reasonable naming convention.
If you can't be bothered to learn files and "folders" then I don't think a search tool that you aren't going to learn either will be much help.
We keep posting that because it is fundamentally flawed.
The usual case for encryption is that Bob wants to send a message Alice and keep Eve from listening in. Assuming the crypto is good, this works because Alice at the very least possesses decryption keys Eve lacks.
With DRM, Bob wants to send Alice a message. He wants Alice to be able to read the message but not be able to share it with Eve. This is ludicrous. Alice has the cyphertext and the keys in her physical posession. At best, hardware DRM means the keys are glooped up in epoxy. DRM also assumes Alice has no technical savvy. Even expoxied chips will eventually fall to determined analysis. This is all true before the analog hole comes into it. Once protection from the analog hole is considered, the situation becomes surreal instead of just ludicrous.
You can chuck your fine moral arguments out the window because you've put the cart before the horse. They'll "hand us something even less comfortable" and it will be cheerfully broken in a handful of years at most. Weeks is probably more realistic. You might as well argue the Earth is flat.
If you insist on moral arguments then chew on this one: Any technological artifact I own will serve my intents and purposes and my intents and purposes alone. The xxAA does not get an ownership interest in my property. Period.
I have yet to be nailed by the new and improved pop-ups coming out. Assuming Slashcode doesn't muck it up, the following is the contents of the filterset I'm using.
For example, when the filmmakers present information about the origin of the universe as fact rather than theory.
Just so we're clear. You do realize that when a scientist uses the word "theory" he doesn't mean something like "half-baked idea"? When Joe Sixpack hears the word theory he thinks of something like "JFK assassination theory". IMHO fundamentalists make themselves look highly foolish when they call something "just a theory".
Have they actually conducted any acts of terrorism that you know of, or are you just taking advantage of some very dangerous, loose law in your country that makes it easier to accuse someone of terrorist acts ("witch!") and have them arrested? In the latter case, shame on you for supporting that system by using it, and thus help diluting the meaning of the once properly used word "terrorist".
I think that terrorism is a very reasonable description of how they treat some of their apostates and critics. "Operation PC Freakout" was intended to drive early apostate/critic Paulette Cooper insane and leave her penniless with a trashed reputation.
Terrorism refers to the use of violence for the purpose of achieving a political, religious, or ideological goal through intimidation or by instilling fear.
Many of Scientology's actions against it's enemies percieved or otherwise can be reasonably construed as terrorism.
One can guess that the boxes of 15 years from now might be fairly decent "Reality Modeling Devices".
At one time, I would have said that will make just watching moving pictures look pretty staid. On the other hand, current videogames don't get anywhere near "you are there" levels of simulating reality. Don't get me wrong; I grew up on pong, space invaders, asteroids, and the Great Flowering of The Arcade. As a kid, I would have damn near creamed myself over the kind of games that are possible now. But the fact is video games still look very identifiably like video games. Textures on polygons still look like textures on polygons even jazzed to the max by dual Nvidia 6800s. That level of realism will set you back over $1500 (the whole box now). The content that really drives those dual videocards costs upwards of $20 million per game now . The more realistic games and VR gets, the more they cost to produce. What will be the costs involved in making immersive content for the machines of 15 years from now?
I suppose the good news is that a surplus plethora of today's machines won't be any reason not to upgrade. I still wonder how much good content there'll be for those machines though. Flatscreens streaming fixed video files will still have plenty of audience left.
The singularity wouldn't orbit the Sun very long either. A singularity composed of only one Earth-mass would evaporate due to Hawking radiation very quickly.

An Apple sales rep I've talked too said as much. Apple pretty much intends a point release every 18 months.

I've played Solarwolf on a Powerbook running Debian Unstable. Solarwolf has the dependencies you mentioned.

Just don't let clue-free MUAs throw your tally off. Unless of course you count use of a clue-free MUA as evidence of being clue-free in general.

Quicktime Alternative DirectShow enables the QT codecs. You don't that stupid blue Q in your taskbar to boot.
I had the same thought. However this doesn't defend against keyloggers and requires a late model beefy machine.

This was not an anomaly.
Wikipedia defines terrorism thusly:
Terrorism refers to the use of violence for the purpose of achieving a political, religious, or ideological goal through intimidation or by instilling fear.
Many of Scientology's actions against it's enemies percieved or otherwise can be reasonably construed as terrorism.

Isaac Asimov coined the term "collapsar". I like it because the name basically tells you what you're dealing with.
