I really don't understand the context of the question. My Palm Zire 21 both runs and charges off of USB. Of course, it charges faster if the AC adapter is plugged in...
Someone who has the legal skills to look into my jurisdiction's laws on theft should know better than to extrapolate a legal argument from a single specific non-legal one.
I was arguing from the common-sense side of it, not written-law.
And now, since I've stuck my foot in legal discourse, I should point out that IANAL.
I actually agree with you assertion but like to see the/. knee-jerk reaction and double standard when it comes to the GPL being abused and say, i don't kow, music and movies being copied.
Many/. readers don't download music not appropriately licensed, yet advocate that the content industries find a way to exploit the business potential of the technologies they're inestead attempting to suppress.

It's not really fair to lump everyone on/. into one catagory.
Clearly, their license, as given to them from whoever made the source available, is terminated. That doesn't mean someone else couldn't re-license it to them under the GPL. In an ironic twist, due to the enmity they've caused, they might have to pay to get someone to do that.:)
Copyright infringement is theft in the sense that you're robbing the copyright holder of any rewards he should have received under the license he chose, be it monetary or just warm feelings.
What's odd is that they don't know how to implement it. They describe a technical method of transferring data to the brain that's technically feasible. The question remains whether one can be trained to interpret the headaches...
I won't argue on behalf of the "If you're dead you're infertile, too" line. Personally, if I still intended to have kids, I'd opt for surgery before going with a treatment that could make me infertile.
And I think many people would have the same view. However, there's a huge number of cancer patients out there who've already had their kids and even grandkids, and risk of infertility could very well be a nonissue for them, while the health dangers of chemo could be too great.
Isn't that the station out of MSU in Ann Arbor? It's 104.1 where I'm usually at. (Muskegon and Grand Rapids). There's also 88.5 out of Grand Valley, but I tend to prefer Michigan Radio's coverage.
Not that we get much of anything out of it this week, with the spring membership drives on all the NPR stations. Ah well, it'll be back to normal tomorrow evening.
I don't have a desk. My job is essentially being an on-demand answer guy for college students. Sometimes it's slow, sometimes I don't get a chance to sit down for an hour or so.
Students in the computer lab get ahold of me in one of three ways. Most of them raise their hands. Many of them use the network-based TutorCall to get assistance. A few of them get up and approach me.
What if you were to use heavy molecular gasses like propane, mixed with heavy inert gasses like Xenon and Argon?
Heck...if you were satisfied with a low enough atmospheric pressure, you could use substances that would normally be liquid, or even solid, at STP. Transport them up there in solid or liquid form, set them outside, and let them sublime.
..buy something that will require learning on your part to use it. You'll be amazed how quickly it can become an integral part of your computing experience.
Like a second video card, a radio tuner, or a winmodem.
Doing new kinds of things under Linux is always fun and educational. Well, it is for me, anway.
and not some spurious principle a bored scriptwriter contrived in order to wrap up a cheesey Season 2 story in the last 5 minutes.
What are you talking about? The site-to-site transporter was used in the first five minutes of the Voyager episode about photonic life forms from a different dimension going to war with the Chatoica character in the holodeck...
Oh, and get a grip, and stop pissing on other peoples' hobbies. I bet you also hate it when people draw portraits as a hobby...or do those people lack the mental ability to develop an HIV vaccine?
Slashdot Mirror
That would lead to interesting science fiction about "temporal demultiplexers" and "temporal multiplexers" ... jaunt between timelines at will.

Tsk. Tsk.

Many
And many
It's not really fair to lump everyone on
That's not how I read it.

I'll bite.

It's not a Linux clone. It's widely believed it's a ripoff of the PPC architecture emulator PearPC.

I guess the people in my life are ahead of the curve, then. I've only personally known one person who has died of cancer, out of four who've had it.
Somehow, there's always some social or political issue TOS addressed that's relevant today. :)
I always wondered how stasis chambers and dermal regenerators worked on Star Trek. Thanks... ;)

You're fired, clean out your desk.

there isn't much i get a bigger kick out of than seeing the first post being modded as redundant
Comments are frequently modded "redundant" if what they point out is common knowledge. Like my grandmother's rose garden.
I better warn her that she's being watched, though. She has no idea she's such a celebrity.
Sure. However, I tried it once, and discovered it wasn't work-safe. (Which is where I do the majority of my /. reading.)
That's neat.
Hope they sell some at an affordable price. My grandmother would get a real kick out of it.
Good points, all.
Mars has an active atmosphere, and there's lots of evidence of erosion. I wouldn't worry about spiny grains of dust and sand.

If I can get through a game without using one of the fundamental skills...my hat's off to him.
