According to the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/asia/13beijing.html):
Google did not publicly link the Chinese government to the cyber attack, but people with knowledge of Google’s investigation said they had enough evidence to justify its actions.
So I think it's a matter of the Chinese government seeking to uncover the identities of human rights activists by actively attacking Google's and other people's corporate network.
Unfortunately it's even worse. It's activated based on the computer system, same system they used for Spore. SecurROM stuff that destroys the resale value of the game.
"ADC Student Program members are entitled to one purchase of a system to be used for development purposes at a significant discount. A system is equivalent to one (1) CPU with one (1) monitor, one (1) desktop; or one (1) portable. If you are purchasing peripherals (monitor, cable, iPod, etc.) you MUST order all items at the same time as your system purchase.
You should confirm that you have verified your student status and have an active ADC Student Membership on your Active Assets page before placing an order. Orders will be canceled if student status has not been verified."
I verified my student identity and purchased it just yesterday.
Not just that, but if you're a student developer, you can get an even larger discount by getting an ADC membership and using that to take a huge amount off. Student ADC memberships are $99 a year, but the discount is around $500.
Release of Picasa for Linux hits slashdot, international users unable to connect: Friday May 26, @07:38AM Googler corrects mirroring problem and posts it on slashdot: Friday May 26, @09:34PM: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=186741&cid=154 13910
Uhm, last time the picasa thing wasn't downloadable because their servers were down. If you followed up on it instead of repeating rumors, you might have known that.
Lemmie get this straight. You are suggesting that the cell phone companies, the likes of which lock their phones to their carriers, will decided out of the kindness of their hearts to offer no DRM lockin, when they can clearly charge an arm and a leg?
These are the same guys that charge $2 for 30 seconds of a song as a ringtone. I rather think the cell companies will continue to stab themselves in the foot.
The mini comes with an OS. A keyboard and mouse is like $20. Windows costs about the same as a normal CRT. So no, it's not the 900 dollar figure that you claim.
I have calculated the date of Debian's demise based on the 4 remaining main Toy Story characters. In 2952, after four releases, Debian will cease to exist. All right geeks, better start e-merging now, you might finish by then.
Ironically, publishing the ip blocks to blackhole will get you sued by the ISPs, just like the spammer lists were sued. Only they have nastier lawyers.
According to Dr Mills, there can be only one explanation: quantum mechanics must be wrong. "We've done a lot of testing. We've got 50 independent validation reports, we've got 65 peer-reviewed journal articles," he said. "We ran into this theoretical resistance and there are some vested interests here. People are very strong and fervent protectors of this [quantum] theory that they use."
RKR will not work on BartPE because it reads the registry and system using the WindowsAPI in the running system and checks against low level reads. This is not possible on a LiveCD, because RKR does NOT do sig based hashing or anything.

Unlike other translation services such as Babel Fish, AOL, and Yahoo which use SYSTRAN, Google uses its own translation software.

Speaking of War Crimes, have you considered just how horrifying this device will be?
You can be Rick Rolled without even being at a computer. Rickroll on opening the fridge. Rickroll has been set free.

Yes, except this one has a paper published, and lab tests on the fuel injector mist as well as a dynanometer and other tests.

Set it for mp3, and most of the links actually work to download! I've used this to uhm.. explore some files before.
I think this might just be what they're suing over.

"Picasa for Linux is currently available only in the U.S., with an English interface" was a mistake in the documentation which was corrected, here: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=186741&cid=15
As you said, if you'd researched the situation instead of repeating rumors you might have known that.

Name one. LucasArts? Dead. Funcom? Moved on to MMOs. Publishers of Syberia? Don't see Syberia 3? Uru? Dead. I could go on.

Since nobody else is being useful at all, i'll top post this one. You need a backlight replacement. It's tining the screen red.

What about emacs? Are we out of emacs jokes? I could have sworn there was supposed to be an emacs joke here.

Halo? XBOX launched with a killer app by that name. I believe you're neglecting it.
This is the best piece of software that the RIAA has ever put out. When the Campus Cops come, i'll be sure to run the RIAA Evidence Eliminator.
