He is, isn't he ? I missed his loving "you are NOTHING"s aimed at me since I first met this charming example of an eternal septemberian a few weeks back.
Highly irritating, yet impossibly hard to get out of your system. Much like genital warts, really.
I'd be more worried about the term "pop-up ad" getting an entirely new meaning. No, not very relevant on the 3DS, but other applications will probably not lag behind.
So for every reactive spend, you write a small report on how much time/money/data/risk would have been saved by a proactive spend. Cumulate over a year and present.
While I also tend to feel that it's unlikely that such a policy comes from Apple, you seem to be *very* adamant, indeed. What are you basing your 100% certainty on ? You almost sound as if you're the lord our Steve himself...
"To drive" is to give direction to something, so that it moves that way - as has been used from way before there were motorised vehicles: shepherds used to drive flocks of sheep, and so on.
"e-mail" is merely a shorthand for "electronic mail", which is a pretty apt name for the technology. I imagine that the NYT did use the full phrase until such a time that most of it's readers could reasonably be expected to know the shorthand form.
I'm guessing we grumble because we don't understand why the masses seem so in love with things of which we realise that they're really not that big a deal.
So true ! A man can't even be happy anymore without perverts trying to come on to him. Why did we allow the damn homosexuals to steal our gayness ?
*cough*
Shadow copies are not about server reliability, they're about stupid users inadvertently overwriting or deleting wrong files, and allowing them to fix their mistakes themselves, without needing to access the backup system or bothering the system administrators.
Also, versioning filesystems make a copy-on-write, so there's a backup of *every* version of a file, and not only the versions that are there when the backup (or shadowcopy) runs. It's been only this week that we've been looking fruitlessly through the backups for some vanished files. We can only assume that the files were erroneously deleted on the same day they were created, before the backups had a chance of picking them up.
> Hiding behind "I am encrypted" saves you nothing. To the eye of a judge you are "not cooperating with the law and... probably guilty"
In most "civilized" countries, for want of a better word, you cannot be forced to incriminate yourself. In the US, specifically, this has been expressed in the Miranda warning, famously known for "you have the right to remain silent".
> You state that banning encryption is impossible
I didn't, I stated that the vested interests are against it. If such a law is to be drafted, it will need to have some very specific wordings, and it see it easily being turned against it's original intent regardless of how it is written.
> it is then your duty to prove that you where using for lawful use.
Again, in most "civilized" countries, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
I do agree with your final conclusion, though - Orwellian measures should be stopped by ensuring there's a vocal and educated populace to put the politicians in their place. Not an easy task, though.
If you outlaw encryption, you'll have no more SSL, either. I'm reasonably sure Windows uses encryption in it's logins et al, too. They'll soon find out that the whole country becomes unmanageable as soon as the banks say "if we can't offer our clients encrypted homebanking, we're outta here".

I guess that explains why you don't.

I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your 3D newsletter.

As long as a single country doesn't cut the link, the internet will route around it.
Gotta love it when people speak for you without your permission. You might want to thank him.
They don't know what they're missing.
Good luck pushing your fancy 7.1 sound through headphones.
No need to degrade yourself, I've seen a lot worse than your comment.
Yeah, shame you can't direct the sound yet. Enjoy your headache.
It is a good thing from the point of view of the company selling things, yes.
The security team aren't responsible for the bad security, that's AT&T.
You forgot the numbers for the war, to put things in perspective.

Hmm. I guess Slashdot stores it's comments in CLOBs, then.

I fail to see what you're getting at, here.
I'm guessing we grumble because we don't understand why the masses seem so in love with things of which we realise that they're really not that big a deal.

And I suppose they ran DOS/2 ?
Kindly present your geek card to the nice sharks with lasers on their head over there, who will burn it.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Real shelf life of BD is still to be determined. Burned CD is reliable for 3-5 years tops. I suspect burned DVD is little better.
