-Joe users like that will be HOME users. -Joe users in a business will not be allowed to SU to Root, never mind login as root.
In windows, the "assumed-default user level" is Admin. "Restricted user" level (aka User-level) is still a big after thought for 90% of Developers. Businesses have just begun using "Restricted user".
In Unix/Linux, the "assumed-default user level" is User. This has been the case for 20+ years!
That's because of ClearChannel and rest of the Radio Cartel that controls 90+% of the content on the radio.
It is Payola all the way. The Music Cartel (RIAA, CRIA, etc) only need to pay an "Indi" (Independent Promoter) that in turn pays the radio station to play the wannabe hit ad-nausium.
NOTE: If the Music Cartel paid the Radio Cartel directly that would against the law.;)
They want their content displayable on any device but they don't want to pay for the devices. I paid for the TV set. I paid for the PC. (The P is for Personal, remember?) They came up with the DVD player and the Xbox. Fine, make those gadgets able to read DVD and obey *Their* rules. That's implied. If they want PCs to read them too, well then, they can't have it both ways!
These TV people and Spammers want the same thing: a Free Ride on US.
During the Anti-trust proceedings, MS gave "make work" projects to all available Anti-Trust Lawyers that they could find. That way, the procecution couldn't find any lawyers to help them.
I wouldn't be suprised if MS went out an Trade Marked, Copyrighted or Patented any possible variations of Windows
Too bad nobody is combining those with a SMTP engine that can see the messages comming in and accept them VERY SLOWLY. (ie.: 1 byte per second)
I know something like this exists already but why not make known spammer servers get 3rd rate service from our owns servers?
Their servers would could take weeks to send out the number of messages they can now in 10 minutes. They need to get the massages out quickly or else the ratio of misses starts to cost them. This is the real solution.
That's because viewers are now wise to the networks' ways. Why get attached to a new series that will be canned before your car needs an oil change? Even frig'n elections campains last longer than new shows! The only garanteed hits are campy shows like "The O.C." until the viewers get bored with characters and non-existing plot lines.
I like it because: -Extremely good story lines. -No plot holes (at least very few) -Inter-twined story lines (Stuff that happened a while ago comes back to help the caracters or hurt them.) -pig-latin swearing (Frel=Fuck) and therefore no censors! -No out-of-bounds topics (ie: gay sex... (ep. where they switched bodies by accident)) -Oh yah, the girls are good looking too!
I have to spend 1-2 minutes to clean rented DVDs so that I doesn't skip. With 50Gb on the same size, I can see just dropping the disk on the floor will be enough to scratch and dust up the media beyond repair.
Otherwise they'll have to build-in a disk cleaner and automatic surface repair within the drive.
I love the potential of this technology but I'm worried about the packaging.
Hey, Xfree did it. Why shouldn't Sun? Corel killed their Linux distro within a few months of taking the M$ bailout.
OT:RIAA, MPAA are Cartels not "Copyright holders"

look it up "a group of similar independent companies who join together to control prices and limit competition" Do they control prices? Do they limit competition? Of course they do! Then it's a Cartel!
Last year's Evil bit is now a protocol! Peh-leaze!

What's wrong with the CRIA obtaining subpoenas against people that they can positively identify as file uploaders of the member companies' copyrighted material? It's not outrageously hard to have somebody at minimum wage sit behind a terminal and try to download music from Canadian ip addresses. And once you have that, it's a known act of copyright infringement anyway, which as we all know, is illegal.
Hey, why stop there: -Let's have the phone company do the same in case we do a phone scam, which as we all know, is illegal. -Let's have someone sit with you in your can in case you speed, which as we all know, is illegal. -Let's have somebody walk into your house in case you are growning pot, which as we all know, is illegal. (If these guys wear yellow suits, it will look like a Symantec ad...)
The point is, Laws are broken all the time. Sometimes it's for a good reason (ie. you are transporting someone to the hospital with life threatning injuries...). Sometimes it's 'cuz the law is wrong (ie. songs are copyrighted forever). And then you have the real criminals, you know, the ones that actually hurt people.
Adaptation or extinction is the name of the outsourcing game.
Too bad the Music Cartels aren't playing that game. They have served their purpose and now they must go away like drive-in movies.
It's not the first time they don't share to expand. When the MAC came out, they could have ported the MAC OS to the PC but instead they let MS perfect windows up to v3.0. And that was that, too late.
Seams like some game console MFR just bought a mouth piece that works in a reputable newspaper. They're trying to give the impression that "PC for Gaming" is on the way out to boost the bottom line. Maybe even make some Game Maker exec think twice about porting games to the PC...
You know, the broadcast flag feature. That alone will kill Digital TV. What's next?: -No channel skipping during commercials? -No mute during commercials? -Involuntary channel changes? -Can't turn off the TV during commercials? -Mandatory commercials during power on?
At that rate they should just make the precious controled-content pay-per-view then but don't touch my remote after that!
They want complete control but don't want to pay for the TV. Who's TV is it anyway? I paid for the dawn thing! Keep your MPAA/RIAA/xxAA hand off my Frelling remote!
The average joe hates OPEC because the are known as the oil cartel and the word "cartel" has a "gangster" association to it.
If the RIAA is a "cartel" like the OPEC is for Oil, why don't we try to get other people to use RIAA and cartel in the same sentence? Say it to your friends like this:
The RIAA, you know the music cartel,...

Let's say we ALL did over night. Given its new-ness you'll have 20 bugs to kill in under 18 months. I prefer the gradual approach.
Imagine a couple of hundred gallons of this stuff dumped in the ocean, preventing fish from breathing and killing them.
And what if we swallow the stuff?
I get distracted enough by my wife talking to me.
Do you think I want to hear my car talking to me about my driving? Hell no!

The only problem would be when your laptop would get low on power, so would you!
