It's a phrase people often use to emphasize, somewhat diplomatically, that they're making an effort to cooperate with someone who's being a pain in the ass.
Finally, it's super-safe for me, because if anyone, anywhere in the world uses my credit account for any reason in any way, I'm not responsible for the charge. That's perfect.
That's great, but it's a feature of your account agreement, it has nothing to do with the technology used to authenticate the transaction.
Nothing is preventing the gentleman with the pipe wrench from forcing you to disclose the token you received from the issuing authority (before you vote). Plus, yeah, the whole thing quickly gets too complicated for a general election.
I agree that the DieBold way is about as awful as can be imagined, though.
Hmm, an entity that sells protection services that you can't opt out of and then demands payment against your consent.
Who says you can't opt out?
You're absolutely free to renounce your citizenship and move out of the country, and you will no longer be burdened with any services you didn't consent to. In fact, if you feel so put upon, I highly recommend that option.
If, on the other hand, you would like to stay: that's the deal, so shut up and pay your goddamn taxes. You aren't actually required to shut up, of course, I would just take it as a courtesy.
The Windows Server license that runs on 16 cores is really, really "out there" for home users.
He just mentioned streaming porn in a domU, a single (or two) core license would do just fine.
It's more than a typical off-the-shelf PC, but it's not like it's some crazy spec, with "consumer" components you can put one together for $3-4k (well, ok, with 12, not 16 cores).
But what about those of us who use "default" settings and customize virtually-nothing?
I wouldn't be so sure. In my case, just the specific versions of the Java, QuickTime, and Flash plugins (Java 1,6,0,20; QuickTime 7,6,5,0; Flash 10,1,53,64;) provided about 20 bits of identifying information - quite a few people will have these "customizations", and the versions depend on when they were installed.
Available system fonts are affected by the applications installed, including the crapware that OEMs preload, even if you haven't installed any yourself.
On IE, the UserAgent string includes the patch version of every installed.net CLR (.NET CLR 2.0.50727;.NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152;.NET CLR 3.5.30729;).
The problem now comes with the fact that our library can be used for web services. People could make changes to our library, use them in their commercial service and not make changes public.
How is this a problem? It seems hard to justify calling something Free software if people can't even use in the way that they want.

What are you talking about? Apple users are so hip they don't need porn.
More specifically, Apple promotional materials are all the porn they need.
They have less than 30% of the smartphone market (and a tiny portion of all phones worldwide) and around 70% of the portable music players.
It's different because there's actual competition in those markets.
Remember how MS had over 90% of the desktops for a couple of decades? That's why it's different.
It's even worse than they realize: terrorists could also use the roads leading to those installations.

It's not really "corporate" in any way.
There is no fucking way that '-oss' pluralizes to '-ii' - in any fucking language that as ever existed.
It's not a required "look", it's just an ancient custom.
I never said it was required, it's just a different look, it's not better or worse than camel casing. Obviously it's not a style you prefer.
Like I said, there's no reason for all languages to look the same.
I like the underbars, always makes me feel "closer to the hardware" when I see a lot of them.

I would think they need exactly as many radios as are needed to support the features that people want?
But, and that's where I draw the line, not a single one more than that!

Dunno, but I consider this a major metro area.
What do you consider the word 'most' to mean?
Give me an open-source electronic voting system that is mathematically both anonymous and verifiable, and I'll be all about it.
Too bad that's impossible. Pretty much tautologically.
At least with Apple in charge they would have an incentive to get rid of the caps.
They do now, but they wouldn't if they owned the carriers.
Plus, it's really hard to get people to feel smug about their cable provider, so it may not be a good fit with the Apple brand.
Now, perhaps I'm missing something here, but I wasn't aware it had failed.
It hasn't, most metro areas are covered by services like Peapod and FreshDirect.
The submitter was being an idiot for no reason.
Actually making use of technology to drive government.
A fairly poor concept actually, it falls into the fairly broad category of "applying a technical solution to a non-technical problem".
Good god man, get a grip.
There are two million discovered species, of which a couple of dozen are named after some cutesy pop culture thing - it's just not that big a deal.

There's really no "default" system.
16 cores and 32 GB of RAM
That's, uh, not exactly all that out there, these days.
Um, I understand all this.
The OP was talking about forcing users to publish internal (ie not re-distributed) changes if they offer a web service that uses the software.
Does no one even read the posts they are replying to anymore?
You can 'use' gpl software in any which way you want, but you cannot distribute the software which violates the license.
Ok, so you didn't read the original post or the portion of it I quoted?
There is just no reasonable definition of 'distribute' that includes 'offer a service that uses the software'.
The problem now comes with the fact that our library can be used for web services. People could make changes to our library, use them in their commercial service and not make changes public.

the easy and intuitive way to get from "I have some vague notion of what I want" to "I'll try installing name-of-package-i-probably-want"
Ah, I believe they call that "google".
As much as I dislike Windows... what purpose does a case-sensitive file system serve?
What reason is there for a filesystem two treat two different characters as equivalent? That would certainly confuse me.
