Reading through someone's emails or documents without permission is job suicide - nobody is going to hire someone who was fired for snooping through other peoples' stuff. Of course, this relies on there being some degree of auditing in place to catch you, but you shouldn't do it anyway, on principle.
Kids may be much more at ease with computers than their parents, simply because they grew up with them, but they certainly aren't any more competent when it comes to using them. Most of my younger brother's friends (19-21 age range) struggle to do anything more than use email, Word, IM and MySpace/Facebook with a computer.
They like using computers, they're certainly not afraid of computers (like some people are), but they don't have any desire to learn how to use a computer beyond simple tasks (and they certainly don't have the patience to most of the time).
My two 17" LCDs do 2560x1024 - they may not be seemless, but that doesn't really bother me. 2880*900 is pretty poor, especially when you consider the size of the thing.
I'm not a "Certified IT Security Professional", just a regular server admin. I was using nmap today to troubleshoot some connectivity issues we were having to a 3rd party and I really wouldn't want to have to either (no doubt pay to) get myself certified as a security professional or hire one in just to run a couple of port scans.
Remember the good old days when you didn't have to monitor every single application on your PC to ensure that it wasn't sending back personally identifiable data to some random 3rd party?
People convicted of drug offences banned from the internet, because they might use the internet to buy drugs People convicted of fraud banned from the internet, because they might use the internet to defraud someone People convicted of disturbing the peace banned from the internet, because they might use the internet to disturb people And so forth.
The problem is that the EPO still grants software and business method patents even though they aren't allowed and aren't currently enforceable, presumably for the cash. This means that if the (primarily US-based) business interests ever do manage to sneak Software Patents past the EU Parliament, all the previously granted patents would come into effect.
It comes down to one big case of "It's not fair, they're able to read my freely available content without being forced to watch my adverts or register their (fake) personal information".
If search engines follow this ACAP standard and no longer index more than a tiny snippet of the content, then nobody will be able to avoid adverts or avoid registration ever again.
No locational damage, horrible menus that were clearly designed for a controller not a mouse, only one type of ammo, no weapon reloading, skills removed, ATMs gone. The excellent storyline and the characters were still there, it just wasn't Deus Ex.
I don't think you can really use those "sales" figures as a meaningful metric when the vast majority of copies "sold" are actually bundled with a new PC whether the buyer wants (or knows about) it or not.
It's a great idea really. You're a big polluting corporation, so you set up a couple of very low emission subsidury companies that earn "carbon credits" for their low carbon footprint. You then "buy" these credits off them to allow you to pollute as much as you want.
The BBC news site alone gets something in the region of 40 million hits *a day*. I'd expect them to get 400-600 visitors running something like OpenVMS or AIX - even if you take Linux as 1% of desktops you're still looking at 400,000 hits, so unless every user generates 1,000 hits a day they're a bit off.
I abandoned my Yahoo account about a year ago after I discovered, purely by chance, that I wasn't receiving a whole load of emails that were being sent to me, from a wide range of senders. I'm all for spam filtering, but randomly dropping emails with no indication to either the sender or recipient that this has taken place is an excellent way to lose customers.
...a technology that allowed people to pay money to experience their products and walk away with a good feeling about it (to encourage future sales), but at the same time render them unable to remember the specifics Sounds like a night in the pub;)

It's poorly phrased, but they mean the only known live recording of *that* performance.

Now.
When iTunes was launched there's no way that the big labels were willing to settle for DRM-free downloads.

No, he means Two-Zero-Seven.net resolves to the same IP as Two-Oscar-Seven.net
Because nobody should have to.

To be fair, these groups are targeting speed cameras (or "Safety Cameras" as they are laughably called by councils) rather than CCTV cameras.
The BBC's Horizon program ran a story about this last year

Director of Science Curriculum believing in Evolution over ID = Good
Director of Science Curriculum believing in ID over Evolution = Bad
Just as churches would get pissed if people started demanding that Evolution was taught in sermons, it has no place there.
But it *was* dumbed down.

The DS already has VoIP.

I do the same with my email addresses, it's always fun to see which sites sell on your data within minutes of you registering.

See, the environment is saved.

It's simple, you just drill a small hole in each wall to let the signal through; about 5.1mm should do it.
World Population: 6 billion, give or take
US Population: 300 million, give or take
100 million / 6 billion = 1.6%
Hardly a large fraction (And yes, I know it doesn't account for the ~5 billion people without internet access, but neither did your figures).

Yeah, because that's working out so well in the US these days ;)
