I think you meant "their weapons". "There" and "their" are different words and are not generally interchangable. Thank you.
Actually, I think they meant to say "both sides are using them there weapons", but I think that would be more appropriately written as "both sides are using tham thar weapons."
Now, before you mod me down, please realize that there are starving people all over the world who don't have mod points, so be grateful for yours.
Most folks can scribble about as fast as they can type. this "text" is not recognized in any way.... so it can be just as unintellible as you normal scribbled handwriting.
I disagree. I type around 60 wpm (Dvorak;^)) and I think 30 wpm isn't at all uncommon. I scrawl at about 20 wpm (without a recognizer penalty) and I don't care for the strain on my hand while I'm doing it.
typing is more inflexible. I circle and scribble over hard copies of presentations all the time. A keyboard isn't particularly going to allow me to do that
This I can agree with. I think the biggest deficiencies in laptop input methods is the lack of an ability to scrawl well, but I wouldn't be pleased witha tablet that only allowed me to scrawl. A device that allows both input methods would be my ideal, and while I'd lean on typing, the option to scribble would be great when called for.
On the other hand, if this bill is passed, it will make it legal for people to distribute tools (even GPL'd or gratis) to un-copy-protect things if there is a substantial non-infringing use. (I think burning an MP3 CD so I can carry 150 songs in my portable instead of 15 is fair use.) Personally, I think this bill addresses a lot (most?) of the serious things I found wrong with the DMCA.
If copy protection can be easily defeated by anyone who wants to defeat it for infringing purposes, and is only a major inconvenience for nontechnical music fans, people will learn to shun the "This CD is messed up" label on a CD and the market for them will tank.
Get her a Compaq IPAQ she can touch. Whenever I think about touching mine, it gives me a very loud, very obnoxious low battery warning. (Usually in the middle of church. Her husband would have to be sleeping pretty deep to miss it.)
This is just like a Dilbert I once read, where Catbert describes how the terms of their NDA essentially prohibits any employee from working at any other company ever.
Often, when I look for a software solution, I do a web search and grab the top 10-20 links that look like they might solve my problem. After downloading about 5 potential solutions, I try them out and see if they do what I want.
If an immediate download isn't available and I have to wait, I'm spending that lag time looking at the other products I was able to get faster. And if one of them happens to do what I want, I'm done looking.
I think it's as simple as that.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a bit worried about the sign of the beast coming up on my future BIOS screen everytime I reboot. I suppose it's a fitting follow-up to a blue screen of death.

Laissez faire is what it's all about.
By mid-morning, countless people voted without difficulty....
Countless, eh? You mean you can't count the number of people voting? Not encouraging in my mind.
In this case, it's obvious who is paying for the message. "This text message is paid for by you under your terms of services."
This development is, IMHO, a very interesting follow-up to this posting about an article on the Register.

The odd thing is, it was funny then.
