What about other critical features being able to place figures and text-frames exactly where you want them (and not where LaTeX wants to misplace them) or tracking changes/version control?
Do I sound annoyed? Well, I am annoyed. You would be too if your every PhD student would initially insist on using LaTeX for his manuscripts ("i'm not gonna touch M$ word with 10ft pole!") and then expects me to make notes on a print-out. It's like going back 20 years.
Too bad one has to learn to code in yet another cryptic language to use it. Some of us would just like to concentrate on the content and the layout, you know.
Well, I'd rather compromise and not buy any CDs at all. It hurts me to go over and get insulted over exercising my right to return a product which arguably is not truly defective (as in: a giant scratch across its surface).
Then return the CD to the store because it is defective.
I've tried it three times. It seems like the shops over here won't refund it without a fight and ad hominem attacks muttered under one's breath ("I bet you pirated the disc already...").
I'm not going to waste my hate on the morons at the cash registers anymore. I'd rather not buy the CD at all. It hurts their sales figures all the same.
If I've understood right, a cavitating torpedo here means that the entire torpedo is moving too fast for the surrounding water to close in. In other words, there's an air bubble around the entire torpedo.
During your life, your actions and beliefs will determine to which 'destiny' you end up
Are you saying that you can personally, with your actions, change whether you are going to hell or heaven?
Where does Christ's work fit in here? If there is any chance that you can redeem yourself by your actions, why did JC die on the cross?
Face it. According to the Bible, God either gives you faith and you're saved, or he doesn't give you faith and you're damned. If there's a god, predestination is the name of the game. He sees our entire trajectory in the timespace and, since he set up the initial conditions, he has already determined who's going to end up in his "bad guys" and "good guys" column.
Anything "sacred" - god, religion, atheism, science, nation, capitalism, communism - should be publicly abused, beaten all over and dragged through the mud with absolutely no respect.
If you're too stupid to protect yourself when doing costs you nothing, then maybe you never really needed rights to begin with.
As soon as you can think of a good way of managing public keys and remembering sufficiently long passphrases without writing them down anywhere you might have a point.
I don't use encryption in e-maisl because it's a hassle. My netbanking uses one-time pads and SSL. That works: just point and click in the browser and keep your list of numbers hidden somewhere.
I'd like to see the day when the free software community can provide not only the code for a smashing game engine (come on, surely you can replicate the unreal!), but also the work of convincing voice actors, motion-capture animators, map designers, plot authors that could write a reasonably well selling book and patient texture designers.

What money? We have a campus license for all Microsoft non-server products (Windows XP Pro, Office, Visual-series,...).
Students and staff may also copy the product CDs for their own use at home and at work.

Yeah, I knew that. Just a provaction.
What business does any religion have in the government?
And, apart from the state of the mind a few religious-fringe lunatics who actually believe that life is unique to Earth, what is that going to change?
Hey! Who told you that?! ;-)

I have not bought a single music CD since the crippled CDs appeared on the markets.
What issue? Anyone can buy a CSS license and write a licensed DVD player for Linux.
The only computer users who are cut off from viewing DVDs are the ones who, for silly ideological reasons, refuse to install closed source software.

Just like a bridge engineer would design a bridge for 30 tons and rate it for loads up to 20 tons.
I find cemetaries abhorrent waste of space as well. Burn the empty shell into ashes and let it fly with the wind...

You should be modded up for that alone.

Slow to the point of uselessness.

a) "Attention citizen. Encryption has been made illegal. Stop using it or face serious consequences."
b) "Attention citizen - for your own safety, submit the encryption key to us for safekeeping."
c) Any encryption is vulnerable if the computer can be accessed physically (for the installation of keyboard taps etc.).
Don't worry.

Killer games require megabucks.
I'm still waiting for my free Ghost Recon game.
In most western societies, ignorance of a law is no excuse for breaking it.
In a democratic society you effect social change with the elections, not by breaking the law.
Ok, so how exactly does one give such proof?
Given the Slashdotting, the past tense used in the article is actually very appropriate.
