Not to mention that putting a switch to disconnect a primary hard drive on the front of a case is just plain stupid.
I fail to see how this promotes longer hard drive life than changing the BIOS settings, let alone using a bootloader. And mounting a non-native filesystem as read/write is something you're very unlikely to do by mistake in ANY operating system in the first place. Any additional "protection" you'd get from this is almost purely imaginary, unless you're trying to protect yourself from random people screwing with your system, in which case I'd be more worried about the HARD DRIVE SWITCH ON THE FRONT OF YOUR CASE.
You mean the same way television killed the film industry, and audio recordings killed the concert industry?
Just because alternatives become available does not, by default, mean the original industry will suffer. But even if it does, there's no practical, economic, or ethical reason to drag down new technologies with the burden of supporting the business model they obsolete.
Yeah, and paying something like $2.50 PER SONG, as far as downloadable content. I'm pretty sure I paid more for the Rock Band song downloads than I did for the game itself.
Saying you've never had a virus without ever scanning your PCs is like saying you've never had an STD without ever getting tested. In both cases, you can have infections without symptoms, and the infections can be transmitted. Yes, there are false negatives, but that's no excuse to abstain from testing.
Granted, you said "never had a problem," not "never had a virus," but what you really meant was that you've never seen a problem. Considering that most malware these days is designed to run unnoticed rather than to cause harm to the desktop, that's not really surprising. There ARE worms that affect Vista, and for all you know, your servers have rootkits on them. Or not. One thing's for sure: it's irresponsible, borderline incompetent to admin a Windows network without any AV, especially a corporate network (i.e., those that probably store private AND valuable information, as opposed to simply private information that's probably on your desktops at home).
Probably a lot more than manslaughter.. At least Murder 2, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within city limits if you happen to live in a city.. and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure a DA would come up with a few more.
You can't shoot someone just for walking on your land. You can't even shoot them if they refuse to leave. They have to present a clear and present danger beyond their mere presence to take any physical action against them. Most you can legally get away with is telling them to leave and calling the cops, but if they leave before the cops get there, it's very unlikely they'll even get a trespassing charge.
Don't be an ass. Maybe his backspace key is fucked up -- oh, sorry, impaired -- or maybe his meatbeaters -- oh, sorry, hands -- are too weak -- again, sorry, atrophied -- to manipulate the larger -- oh, sorry, full figured -- key.
Except you've both gotten off track. You're both using statements about the government and applying them to private citizens. This is not about the government monitoring who's calling whom, it's about knowing who's calling you.
So we've got the options of panic and willful ignorance out there.. how about a third option like developing technology to improve detection or damage mitigation.
You mean like Red Dwarf? Or Last of the Summer Wine? Most British comedies either use, or sound like they use, laugh tracks, although I can't find an authoritative list anywhere. The technique pretty much died in the 90s here in the "colonies," aside from in kids' shows and when used as satire.
Pretty much every sitcom for kids uses a laugh track. Real kids would laugh at inappropriate times, and real adults wouldn't laugh at all. I swear to God, if my kids ever want to watch Nickelodeon, I've failed.
Pennsylvania wants New York to cooperate when criminals against PA are residing/hiding in NY, therefore they will extradite, as long as NY is willing to foot the bill. In fact, if you ever get pulled over and there's an arrest warrant for you ANYWHERE, nationwide, that's exactly what will happen. You'll get arrested, then the authorities will contact the jurisdiction that issued the warrant to see if they want to pay to ship you there. If yes, you're on a plane; else you're back on the street till the next time you get pulled over. The protections you envision exist largely in your own imagination.
Officers are fond of reminding the enlisted that their jobs are so similar. Which only makes the difference in standards of living all the more insulting. Pricks.
There's a rather large difference, in that constellations have already been found (defined) by other people, and those people can point them out to you at will.

I think Dick van Dyke probably has more problems. But I'm also betting he's not big into the whole interwebs and online games thing.
Amazing that the image never changes, and that it's daytime on Cam 2 while it's nighttime on Cam 1.
DCC (Direct Client-to-Client) was/is P2P.

You spelled "bless your heart" wrong.
While I haven't been in this specific situation(ie. jail), I have been in a similar situation.
Gay porn?

Nightlight-like Wal-Mart Wall Wart. It practically rolls off the tongue...

Holy shit.. every car in sight is driving on the wrong side of the road!
But he forgot to instantiate it!

True, but since it's a Windows 7 feature, you can only share with people who already have it..

No, they should've learned their lesson the first time they spoke without being spoken to.

Nah.. that's just crazy talk.
