Now that the BSD's have merged into one Empire, us Linux users need to put aside our differences and form an Alliance to ensure that BSD to teeter on the brink of death as it has for several years.
The government doesn't mandate phones have GPS receivers in them. Rather, it mandates that telcos be able to determine with a certain accuracy where a caller is. GPS is probably the easiest and most straightforward method of doing this, but it's not the only one.
I can attest to that. There's a nickel arcade nearby that has DDR. We took my nephew there once and he did pretty good. On the next visit it was just me and the GF. We thought, "if a little seven year old can do it, we can too." It seems so simple. See an arrow pointing up, stick your foot on the top pad. Can't be too difficult, right?
Needless to say, we were both utterly humiliated. Luckily, it was late at night on a weekday so we were one of the few people there...
If Iraq has WMD, using them early on would be a bad idea, IMO. Most of the world opposes the war because there wasn't enough evidence Iraq has them.
If Iraq does have them and uses them, they prove that the US was right and lose the support of most of the world. I could see them trying to use them as a last ditch effort though when there's no doubt Saddam's regime will be gone...
I used to intern at the Lockheed Martin facility that makes the external tank and used to have a small chunk of that foam off of a test sample.
It's much denser than styrofoam, definately. Cutting through it requires a significant amount of force. I can't think of anything offhand to compare it to, but it is very strong and has almost no "give" to it if you try to poke it with your finger.
If it can be seen or heard, it can be reproduced. Screenshots my friend.. screen shots:) And yes, anyone wanting to make a copy of something, will.
And anyone with a bulldozer can simply knock one of your home's walls down and steal your TV. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't lock your door. Sometime intent on getting the information will get it. This DRM will stop the lazy/ignorant person from printing it out then leaving it at Starbucks, for example.
If your return is pretty basic, can you still benefit from using an accountant? The only thing that stops me from using the 1040EZ right now is that I have a few hundred I can deduct for my student loan interest. Otherwise, I don't have any home-related deductions (I live in an apartment), didn't sell any shares, or any other "funny stuff."
It is possible for an OS to know it's on VMWare. For example, the Linux guest OS toolkit includes a program for use when you use the same Linux installation as both a real OS and a guest OS. The program detected whether you were running as a real OS or a guest OS and used different config files as appropriate for networking, X, etc.
Not to mention that VMWare disks are given drive ID strings like "VMWare Virtual Disk" (or something like that). A program could just look for that string in the drive ID.
That being said, from other posts it doesn't look like the DRM software checks.
I hope this release spawns a Linux-friendly snowboarding simulator
Me too. This is exactly the killer app Linux needs to fully make it onto the desktop. Just last week I was telling my grandmother she should install Linux, and I told her about OpenOffice, Mozilla, KDE, etc. But when she asked "is there a snowboarding simulator?" I knew I wouldn't be winning her over to the Linux side.
CloudMark's SpamNet and Authority products combined do the first quite well. SpamNet checks all of your incoming email against their database and deletes it if it's spam. If spam does get through, there's a button you click that will forward the message to them.
Authority is a server-side product that uses the SpamNet database to block spams at the mail server.
Unfortunately, SpamNet only works on Outlook (for now):(
Amen! The number of software DVD players that try to look my hardware DVD players is amazing. I mean, who actually uses the front panel of their hardware DVD player, other than the "eject" button?
At the very least, if you feel the need to make your software look like hardware, make it look like a hardware DVD player remote control, which people actually use...
Also, record store employees are probably paid lower wages there, retail space costs less the lease, businesses probably don't have to take out insurance policies in case some idiot trips on a dropped CD, etc.
KKDL is owned by a company called Entravision. Most of their stations cater to the Spanish-speaking market. Dance music, AFAIK, is a new market for them.
1. Form a business 2. Create a new document storage system, which stores the data in the filename and which coincidentally has the suffix ".mp3" 3. Put some secret stuff in it 4. Install a file sharing client, and connect to a network 5. Worm sends a list of your "mp3" to RIAA 6. Sue RIAA for industrial espionage 7. Profit!!

No, just instead of raiding their oil supply we'll steal all their fowl.
Privacy and Security -> Popup Windows
You can whitelist/blacksite specific sites now, which is nice.

You can briefly see Uma Thurman's b00bies in "Baron Munchausen". Very good movie.
Hope you're wearing some heat resistent gloves!

Last I heard, Saddam was on a cloud building a candy factory that looked like a weapons factory.
How is nuclear energy renewable? I haven't noticed any uranium popping up in my yard...
I just thought of something. Think drywall, but much less brittle.

I can imagine what bars on Mars will be like when colonists first go over there.

The space program gave us Tang. Don't you forget that.
I remember using Redhat in my senior year of high school, which was '95. So they've been around at least 7.

I don't think 684 versions of Tetris, each with slightly different graphics, should count as distinct games.
