I have had several Palms since the early pilot days, and have had just the opposite results, NONE have failed. I stopped with palm products with a T/X and eventually switched over to a blackberry due to work compatibility. Now its an iphone since i was able to ditch that evil BB.
Still love the T/X but it pretty much is what it is, nothing new will come down the pike for it ( oh, and the missing microphone what were they thinking?!?! ) so it was time to move forward. ( thus the apple product )
This is just a scam 'see don't be mad at us, we wanted to work with the OSS community but it couldn't be shown that we could make money so we had to discontinue all of SUN's projects we didn't want to gut, err incorporate'
Why stop here? Why not just download ( hidden ) child porn ( or god forbid, music ) onto the PC and threaten that if you don't pay up you will be reported. Forget the 'public shaming', lets go hardcore, and then perhaps we can get this stuff stopped.
Here they never claimed they *couldn't*, but promised they *wouldn't*, which of course was just to get the law passed. By the time they slowly moved to it being a primary reason and acting on it, people had forgotten the promise, now broken.
Hysterics? Considering the current reported crime rate on civilians, i don't see it being hysterical to avoid going there for a while. Call it prudent.
And ya, i know to drink beer or imported water.
Good to know you can use a passport to get a phone, id not want to wander around out of town with no way to easily contact civilization.
So lets say i want to go on vacation to Mexico ( not that i would, don't have a death wish ) but if i did, how would i be able to get cell service now? Im not a citizen so i don't have one of those numbers.
I still remember when we were promised that the seat belts laws were not going to be used exclusively to ticket a person and was 'just for our safety'.
This reminds me of when Atari finally faded into the dust. All the raw talent slowly dispersing into the industry, most to never be heard from again as they were absorbed into much larger corporate environments and forced to become part of the gray crowd.
Not a fan of Java myself, but i can appreciate what Gosling has done, and the impact of what is going on here as the SUN sets and the dark days come.

And users will still click on everything they see.
But a headline of 'Severe bug fixed several revisions back, all is safe' isn't as likely to get readers.
Problem solved.
We are screwed.

That's how we got the DMCA.. and most all other invasive laws.

Trying to make it sound like it uses winni to magically infect your pc.. It wasn't p2p, it was the user that didn't scan/etc. Typical mis information.

Isn't OS/2. What makes OS/2 is the core system, not the desktop plastered on top.
Not that its bad, just please call it what it is.
But if you monitor in real time, then by the time you can edit the registry you have already been busted.
And there are 100's of ways to monitor/report on windows activities as they happen.
Don't go to the feds whining if you are lying about your data, and don't pay them enough to ignore the facts.
There was a version of Xenix that did. I also think BSD Net/2 would. ( i think... )
I also wouldn't call CP/M or concurrent DOS a lame program loader.

Fairness isn't the issue, legality is, and since you voluntarily give up the data, i think they are well within legal bounds.
Life in general isn't 'fair', so get over it and don't drop so many breadcrumbs.

Put the computer in the same room you are, and watch what your kids are doing. Oh, and interact with them too...
If you have to have some 'system' turn machines off due to grounding you have a bigger parenting issue going on.

Now they have seat belt roadblocks.....
But what if i use my iphone to stream music to my car stereo. last i heard its still legal to change the song you are listening to.
Also, what if its hands free mode, but you hold it in the air?
Um, its still their tool kit, not yours.
Like others have said, don't like the game rules, go play in a different ball field. There are other fields to play in.
Right, they want a shiny appliance that 'just works'. Restrictions like this help guarantee that.
