It's not a credible threat because the shareholders would sue the CxOs for failing to act in their financial interests. I think you've been reading too much Rand.
You can have any language you want, just so long as you don't want multiple inheritance of implementation - which C++, Perl, Python and Ruby all support. (Actually you can, but not in managed code.)
The BIOS initialises the "Fritz chip" that verifies "trusted" code. The BIOS will effectively sign the system state before handing over to the OS loader. When a TCPA-enabled OS starts it will verify this signature. You can't modify the BIOS or use a chain loader to load the OS because then you can't generate a valid signature. You can't modify the OS to skip the check because then the OS code wouldn't have a valid signature and would no longer be trusted. The OS would probably run but you wouldn't be able to access "protected" files and applications.
Reinstalling Windows generally doesn't wipe out applications or documents. However, a from-scratch installation of the OS will wipe out the registry settings that installed applications depend on, so effectively destroying those installations. It's possible that some PC makers are so callous as to provide installers that wipe out the entire OS partition (and maybe other partitions); since most Windows users store their own files on the same partition as the OS that will wipe them out too. I don't think that's normal though.
The screenshot of the document properties appears to show that the MPAA guy was not just the original author but the last to edit it. However, since the editing time is shown as only 8 minutes, it may be that he copied text prepared by the AG into a new document which he then circulated.
My wife, a singer, had little trouble learning to use Lilypond, and she likes it. She's not a programmer and she's not done much (if any) music engraving before.
There are Amiga games that have huge levels (or just one level) that are dynamically loaded from disk (floppy disk) without interrupting the game. Programmers who keep on making the player wait for the next section to load are just being lazy.
Haven't you ever used a circular buffer before? r and w are the read and write positions within the buffer; e is the "end of oldest BD entry" (BD = buffer descriptor, at a guess). The condition for throwing out a "BD entry" is that the end of it is within the free space in the buffer after w and before r, allowing for wrap-around.
Do you pay a monthly fee per box? If so then I think you are renting them from Cox and I can understand Cox being keen to recover its property (not yours).
TDMA stands for Time Division Multiple Access and is used by many cellular radio protocols including GSM. What is usually meant by "TDMA" in the context of US cellular telephony is IS-136 aka D-AMPS which is a 2G protocol designed as a convenient step up from AMPS. It fits 3 digital channels into a 30 kHz AMPS channel using TDMA.
iDEN is a Motorola protocol for which Nextel (partly owned by Motorola) is the only US operator. It is somewhat based on GSM and perhaps it incorporates the same authentication protocols.
AFAIK Cellnet/O2 and Vodafone have never locked phones sold together with pay-monthly accounts, but the other operators do. All the UK operators lock phones sold with pre-pay accounts.

At least one girl (my wife) is a contented Debian user and even went to a Debian 10th birthday party with me.
Damn those free-loading poor people!
Let's give the rich a break.
I apologise for the appallingly inconsistent tenses in the above.

I imagine it will be stored in flash memory, but only trusted code will be able to write to the flash.
Here's another reason not to buy from Samsung: employment of illegal immigrants under illegal working conditions with no concern for their welfare.
You mean "ununinstallable", not "uninstallable" (which is what we want it to be).

The one that killed a lot of people in UK a little while back was E.coli 0157. I dare say there are other dangerous strains though.
There are many variants of E.coli; some are pretty harmless and are commonly present in human intestines while others are very dangerous to us.

Some people pay for it.

Why don't you read reviews on IMDb beforehand?
I don't know where this is coming from.
Take the devfs entry out of /etc/fstab or add "noauto" to its options.
Delete these module names or comment them out in /etc/modules.

No, it's not like looking at notes at all. It's like looking at Linux a.b and GNOME c.d where b and d are odd numbers.

SIM card slots are usually underneath the battery. If your SIM was pre-installed you'd never need to know about it.
