And Syria wasn't really all that in to Hezbolla-style terrorism, they just wanted the free security that they provided. There really isn't a difference morally between starting something and just going along with it. If something is wrong, it's wrong. By not using DRM you are on the side of good, but using it, evil.
Please don't tell me Apple didn't understand what they were getting themselves (and their users) into when they signed up. Apple is easily the biggest distributor of DRM material, and they make little effort to educate their users about the limitations of DRM. How can you just let them off the hook?
They probably had independent productions in mind when they made this service. Unless dreamhost moderates this (not likely, they're kind of lazy) people will probably just sell hard to find files, like the SmartStart CD for your compaq server, a driver for your tv card and a bunch of other illegal stuff.
It's not just ironic, it doesn't even fit. China is not a sovereign nation. The territory controlled by the Peoples Repulic of China is rightfully owned by the free government of Taiwan.
The whole idea of switching to a single 12v system is so that there is less power loss (and less heat generated) converting the power inside the power supply. Running everything at 5v would be worse than things are already because there's about twice the power loss on a 5v rail as a 12v one. Modern motherboards (especially high end overclock boards) are more demanding on the 12v rails than anything else even though the cpus usually demand 100 watts @ under 2 volts. I'd have to say that what google is suggesting is already being implemented for reliability.
You're the idiot. You could make about 2 percent more on not just a insured savings account, but a government guaranteed I-bond. 6% in a few days beats 5% in a year...
In the article, the parents only had things like "the police went too far" to say about their children being arrested. I probably would have been harder on the police department, but one has to wonder about the 12-year-old's responses to their experience (one of the boys was crying uncontrollably, and one of the girls went back to sleeping with her parents). These infant-willed "preteens" didn't belong in a 20 foot cherry tree.
Because he'd still have spyware, insecurity, and unstability, the three things that are wrong with Windows pcs. As for the best of both worlds... the mac has a nice look, but it's overpriced. It's clearly a tradeoff, better looks for (a lot) more money.
What do you think he was going to buy with the $25,000 insurance claim... for stereo, airbags and door panels? Of course the insurance company denied his claim, even a complete navigator isn't worth $25k once it leaves the showroom.
I'm sure its not just a matter of obesity. Obesity is the one thing everyone seems to understand, but some parents may decide that "diet" drinks are too unhealthy for their kids (unnatural sweeteners and the like). I'm sure some parents will abuse this system, but it seems logical for a environment where the parents are going to disagree about what is healthy and what is not.
Thank you for clearly pointing out what all the affirmative action chumps wish would just remain quiet.
The tricky part about proving that an article is really interesting is, how do you show that the women are truely bringing better talent than was available before, and was it just the "affirmative action" that made it possible... which would make the women less than competitive.
On the one hand, there will be many weak arguments stating that women are NOW successful because the stereotypes were overcome by affirmative action, but there's a stronger argument for women being hired simply to meet a quota. Neither behavior is really correct, and they counter each other so it is really best not to participate in either.
The problem is that IE7 is a major version update. Firefox updates with minor versions (1.5.x to 1.5.y), but it wont try to update to 1.5.y if you are currently running 1.0.x.
Of course microsoft is labeling this as critical, which is just plain stupid... no matter how many bugs from IE6 are fixed.
Objects mostly slow you down when writing code, and although an OO approach should make code easier to read, it usually makes the code significantly longer. For a few situations OO code is still better, but unless it's necessary it usually has little value.
I wasn't referring to a general case, and I didn't say that the court should rule against the defendant. In this specific case, the government acted together with AT&T to "steal" privacy from the prosecution. If the government feels a need to protect it's moles, than it should have acted to settle directly with the victims in this case.
By blocking the case entirely, the judge has confirmed that AT&T was involved in an illegal spy program. This is really similar to the way that apple always starts yelling about "rumors", but they only complain when the rumors are true.
I really should have explained this in my OP, I was trying to keep it short and I didn't include a big enough argument
Well on the bright side, this was not a ruling, it was a dismissal of a case. It might set precedent, but I dont think precedent is used for determining if a case is valid for judging. On the other hand, the government was a third party in this dispute, so by denying the ruling based on the government the judge has made a situation where the only just thing to do is to rule in favor of the victims. Too bad justice isn't in the system any more.
Might as well pick choose your own professional consultant rather than get stuck with some indians answering phones for a big router company. Is this really hard to see?
You should understand that the torture methods used by the CIA are employed to save lives. It would be a different matter if CIA operatives were only interested in finding people's candy stashes, but that preschool world just isn't the one we live in.
I beleive the truth requires no explanation, so I will keep my signature the way it is, thank you very much.
Waterboarding, as sick as it may be still seems like a reasonable practice given the cases that the CIA deals with.
I think the question we should ask the ilogger is if torture is truely wrong. Consider the following situation: someone kidnaps your wife (a form of torture), and holds her randsom. You could pertend that paying the randsom would work, but that's just stupid. If you found this person you are basically left with torture if you want to get your wife back. Bringing law enforcement into the situation is counter-productive, because if the kidnapper reveals the location of his hostage, he has just verified that he is a kidnapper which will not be good for his situation.
I'm sure I wouldn't like to be a victim of waterboarding, but it's not going to leave injuries behind or cause problems over an extended period of time. I've suffered worse injuries from bus drivers and their consistant attempts to run by bicycle off the road.
Mark Rein was correct to claim that integrated graphics is SLOWLY killing pc gaming. More importantly copy protections are killing pc gaming VERY QUICKLY.
Buyers of integrated graphics aren't the informed type. In the current market, nobody of a technical inclination would buy integrated graphics based on principle (even if it was halfway decent), and the uninformed people wouldn't care if it was any good.
That's not a reason against legalizing drugs. The flaw in your logic is that as long as taxes are reasonable, grocery stores will have a comptitive advantage against "drug dealers". They get more business now, and people can't do without groceries, therefore there is more volume at the store. The extra volume would allow a store to sell for less than a dealer.

As a side note, it actually is legal for distribution in source-based-distros
Mac users are accustomed to irritating their friends with "style", this won't go over so well with windows users.

note the "after it leaves the showroom" clause. Besides, the airbags and stereo still aren't worth 2500, much less 25k.

you did read the part about take-two getting back to doing what they do best right?

...and you think that will stop them?
