Seriously, doesn't this happen every couple months -- some idiot notices that active Open Source projects get more bug reports than Commercial projects, and suddenly the worlds on fire and the OSS model is unsound and the software is useless?
I'm not going to reiterate the truth of the matter, because if you don't know it by now, you are probably one of the few who don't WANT to know.
Consider that when the government creates laws to force parents to do their jobs in this particular manner, it only creates a social precident which has the exact opposite effect.
omfgpwned there's guns and killing cops and gangs and micheal jackson songs in here! I never would have guessed by looking at the case, or picking up a newspaper or listening to the radio!
Luckily, the people who deal with stuff that can kill you are actually mostly competent, and though they've had the ability to have remote kill switches longer than you or I have been alive, they will continue to have manual kill switches, very likely long after you and I are dead.
The truth of the matter is that when you're talking about a multi-million dollar lawsuit against a regular person, there is no 'right' time to spring that on a person. It will crush a persons descendants for generations. Children will inheret the unpayable debt and ensuing maintinence payments, and it will act as a poison for a long time.
If Charles Mansons sons are allowed to live somewhat normal lives without being thrown in jail to help complete his life sentences, I don't see how this should be legal. It isn't at all ethical, no matter WHAT the crime is.
Don't worry, civilized people use metric. You can calculate your travel in furlongs per fortnight if you really want to, but I'll just slap a prefix or suffix onto the base unit, thanks.:)
Are you kidding? There are certainly more idiot marketers and useless executives trolling slashdot these days than actual nerds. It's like high school, but with fewer wedgies and more market research aimed at a demographic predisposed towards high incomes.
Me? Oh shit, I'm working on the x-box port of FreeBASIC. That's about as nerdy as you can get without hiring someone to stay at your home and give you swirlies every now and again.
I think Microsoft is wholly responsible for people thinking xbox controllers are shit(and huge).
In fact, it was the peripheral makers who first tried to fix this problem somewhat.
That said, the person at Microsoft that decided to make EVERY button on the controller except start and back analog should win a prize for "most useless expensive feature in a game console controller".
His OpenCourseWare lectures are literally singularly responsible for my continued success in physics./me bows in reverence towards someone who actually gets to GO to MIT.
Now more than ever, is there a truth we can know? Both sides of the political spectrum are flaming liars (there's a difference between spin and not telling the factual truth, in spite of what politicians would have you believe), is it possible to learn the truth of whatever matters today from their mouths?
I suggest you check out Professor Lewins physics lectures on MITs OpenCourseWare. Quantum Physics in particular, if I recall, is in the electronics and magnetism 802 course. If not, it's in his 801 course.

Interesting. You can tell all that from the fact that this guy bought a laptop. I think someone needs to lay off the self-rightousness.

It's not our problem that you've failed as a parent and raised a disobedient, spoiled child.

Two aspects of the same damn problem.
So because most people are useless trash, he should lower himself?
I think SOMEONE wants us all to be communists.
And those morons wonder why people are flying planes into their buildings...

Hypertransport ain't hype, baby.
I feel as if I should drink and sleep my way through a "reputable" marketing course after saying something so awful.
Excuse me, I have to go take a bath.
I agree. Micro$osft should be ashamed of themselves. I think Microsoft should sue those charlatans!
That's not a fair comparison. The X-box has a thriving underground scene which completely throws the results.
You've never seen a welfare case spend.
Poor, in my opinion, is a state of mind as well as a monentary condition.
You forgot one...

Oh Nintendo, you truly are the king of kings.

We're all very impressed.
Oh...Nevermind. False alarm.

Uncanny! A person saluting another on slashdot for a literary reference? Surely we have found examples of the overmann on this day!
No air pollution, no greenhouse gasses, and the hippies STILL complain!
The old saying is true. You can please some of the people some of the time, but hippies won't be happy until you become amish minus the horses.
