What would your beloved Founding Father write in their Consitution and Bill of Rights for today? The documents can't be right for all time and so they need to be understood as intended but overridden when outdated.
Can you explain about that absolute power thing? I've seen it before; I think I had the quote in my MOTD file, but it got corrupted. It wa a bit wierd, because, at the same, time my fault-tolerant filesystem had a glitch and my whole system was rendered unbootable. The fsck errors said: 'corrupted, absolutely'.
Firefox developers say: please file a bug with Microsoft -- even the Win64 stuff limits each process address space to 2 GiB of memory, which is clearly not enough for our advanced 64-bit memory leaks.
It's called property because it's traded/hired/licensed/etc. I have the right (before it's even identified as a right) to do what I please with my artistic endeavours. And it's only fair that I have some right to control what others may do with my artistic endeavours (up until first sale doctrine exhausts those rights). But... you're correct to say that the tools we have aren't suited to the task (which is often overlooked) and that reform is needed.
We disagree as to whether killing people is an appropriate response to crime (c'mon, you can do better: gulags can be a punishment worse than death!). But even when you believe that capital punishment is an appropriate response, he's only inconvenienced people, not killed anyone. Nor has he physically harmed anyone. You could even argue that the crammed bills are most often accepted as legitimate and paid in full, making his work near to victimless. But $34m in funds not due him was collected, and his anti-social, thieving ways need to be punished somehow. Separate to the issue of capital punishment in itself, capital punishment for his crimes is excessive.
The vinyl is appealing to the audiofile crowd who find CD's too 'cold'* a presentation of the recorded material. They've spent tens of thousands on their record player, 'phono' stage, pre-amp, power amps, cables and speakers, so $300 on some material for it is peanuts.

It must be said that: without a right as an author to impose a licence upon people who trespass your right, you could not have the GPL. You may be able to make use of a contractual expression of the GPL (agreed by both parties upon their use/study/modification/dissemination of your work), but software codes disseminated under Public Domain/freeware licences cannot ensure that modifications are contributed back to the community for its benefit.
Don't forget that William Penn was a Quaker and that the non-violent 'testimony'/lifestyle of the Quakers would have had some impact upon the ethos of Pennsylvania.
Yeah, because as a former soldier, I want our troops in the field to be worried about things like, "Did we get a warrant to raid this cave?" before storming in.
May I make the observation that 'disregard for due process' should be the epitaph for the present Bush administration? I'm not a US citizen and want to make it known that putting American lives before human rights is arrogant, outrageous and dangerous. Either everyone has inherent rights (not just US citizens), or noone has inherent rights (even US citizens). Finally, I believe that the 'they want to kill us, so we'll kill them first' attitude will only bring about more blood shed.
People want full-size versions of familiar apps on a pocket-size device, and only a processor with the i686 instruction set can deliver this.
I hear of a new technology that Von Neumann and Turing are playing around with, called the 'universal computing machine'. Maybe it'll offer the ability to algorithmize and implement computing tasks independent of the engine performing those tasks. I hear that a group of compiler engineers hope to use this 'universal computing machine' to create something called a 'cross-architecture compiler', allowing one to compile source code on a machine of one architecture to run on a machine of a different architecture.
I could be completely wrong in the potential outcome of these 'new' technologies.
(Once you've got over the sarcasm in that -- BTW: The prospect of 'years of x86 software freely available to a portable x86 device' doesn't overcome the problem that full-sized programs don't have good interfaces on small handheld devices. The interface problem is why the iPod is so succesful. I'll accept the argument that x86/Windows programs never had nice interfaces -- while true this is an unrelated point. Finally, we haven't addressed the issue that x86 is typically focused upon raw-power computing, where ARM is focused on reasonable performance for exceptional power efficiency.)
I expect Blu-Ray profile 4.0 to require a Cell chip -- which would be a huge win for Sony, Toshiba and IBM (who developed the chip). Profile 5.0 might need the RSX, so that everyone's buying a PS3...
If you've just turned it off, I can spray your RAM with coolant and have it retain its memory for hours. Then I boot from a USB stick or DVD and use a small program to read the contents of your RAM and harvest your keys.
The method strikes me as the best way to get past TPM devices, until they include measures to zero all RAM on shutdown.

In all fairness, that's because of the Pilsner Fathers and the Mayflower.

It must be dark in your basement. Did you miss the most-recent Intel-AMD anti-trust http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060421-6652.html that was started in June 2005?
Unreal founder Tim Sweeney says that Intel's integrated graphics are a real set-back for PC gaming (http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/10/1239205). Intel keep promising and failing to deliver substantive graphics performance (and even insisted on the 'Vista Capable' label being applicable to the Aero-incapable i915 graphics chipset to sell more of these chips - see http://slashdot.org/articles/08/03/01/1312233.shtml and http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/28/1746211&from=rss). AMD have released the 780G chipset which includes a Radeon HD2x00-class onboard graphics chip and which offers a good basic capability to play recent games.
I think that quote has your answer: we adopted it because Fibonacci used it, and he called it the Arabic numeral system.

In 1996, Quake set the fashion for brown shooters. In 2004, for Doom 3, black was the new brown.

The ATI HD Radeon 3xxx series video decode accelerator is in this on-board graphics chip, and will do MPEG 2/4, H.264 and VC1 for you.

I'm not surprised. Noone's perfect, and it's easy to see the dirt on those with so obviously different standards like Quakers.

Thank you for listening to my words.
Seconded. I was surprised OP hadn't heard of it. I've tagged 'openstreetmap' as well.

This is old news. My submission "APL under APL" was rejected...
Great minds think alike -- small ones seldom differ.
