what [struck] me the most, is that it is well written.
Which is why O'Reilly is the first place I look for a book. Ther ratio of well/badly written books is better there than anywhere else. The only books I will order online. All others, I want to page through them in a bookstore first.
Or, for that matter, AMD enthusiasts. I've talked to several computer journalists over the years who simply stopped writing about anything other than Windows on Intel because of the OS/2, Mac, etc enthusiasts. If they said 20 nice things about the favored system, and one bad thing, they would get tons of flames accusing them of being sellouts for mentioning the one bad thing.
The mono version was often a remix, with different instrumental/vocal tracks. That is, it wasn't just the stereo version remixed to mono, but different cuts of the tracks.
That murder is usually a State, not Federal, matter. In the case of a hacker, who may be operating across State lines, it is proper for the Federal Government to get involved.
The definition of what is Adult or Juveniule has changed over the decades. Read some of Heinlein's "juveniles", many of which were serialized in Boy's Life (the Boy Scout magazine). They delve into topics such as racism, separation of church and state, social and political theory, the death of major characters, and other grown up themes. Pretty much everything except sex (and even that is addressed indirectly), and "adult" literature of the 50's (and later) often avoids that.
But that's what people said about the 'inevitable' success of DIVX! That American consumers cared not for the underlying tech, and would buy it if it was offered!
Other than Levy, I haven't seen anyone saying that Palladium is even likely to be a good thing. The best people seem to hope for it is that it won't be terrible, and that consumers will avoid it the way they did DIVX.
Which they can. If new systems come Palladium-enabled, don't buy them. Unless you're a hardcore gamer, what would you need an 8GHz system with 2gb ram and 1tb hard drive for anyway?
The US courts don't recognize foriegn court rulings (of this sort,admiralty law is somewhat different). Yahoo US can't be required by the French to remove auctions of Nazi items, even though those auctions violate French law, because Yahoo US is in the US and not in France.
I hope the contractor who installed the TV did a proper job of bolting it to the wall. Otherwise it'll be 'TV in Jacuzzi tub', which could be unfortunate if you happen to be in there at the same time.
Ummm. Thanks for sharing that tidbit from your personal life. So Slack makes you lose control of your bodily functions? "This is not a distro for using, it is a distro for laying aside and avoiding."
For me it's the same as the dial-up rate. It's $40 for cable modem, or $20 for the ISP plus $20 for the phone line for dial-up. Both are $40, but cable is faster.
"Another fine O'Reilly title" is still often redundant. Even if not Excellent, they are often Very Good, or at least Good Enough, and I've only once encountered one (on UML, and it's long out of print) that was Mostly Useless. I trust the brand. Often I can't wait weeks to months for the reviews to come out before I buy a book. So I buy the brand I trust.
He "said he likely would introduce a bill". Hmmm. First the bill has to be introduced to the Senate. Then he needs co-sponsors. Then it has to get through committee where it may be amended, and he's a Republican and the Democrats control the Senate. Then the it has to be scheduled for a vote. Then the Senate debates (and possibly amends) it. Then it's voted on. Then the same process in the House. Then the House ans Senate versions have to be reconciled, and the reconciled version has to be voted on. Then the President has to sign it.
This all has to happen during this session, which only has 50 working days left, and which has much else (such as the Department of Homeland Security) on its plate.

I love the cover of that album. Daltrey (IIRC) advertising Heinz Beans, etc...
Majored in recreational pharmacology, did you?
Wesley has such a CleverNickName, and Obi-Wan doesn't.
In the index, of course.
Why should I spend weeks to months writing disk drivers, gui's, keyboard interfaces, etc, when there are OS's that have already done that?
I've done work in industrial automation, and a real-time system is not necessarily embedded, no is an embedded system necessarily real time.
They're both gross.

Actually, according to the article, the average, or at least majority, user's reaction has been to take the low cost option.
