"Best guess I can make is that "usability" and "features" are too subjective to comment on. At least with the other categories, you can generate some hard numbers based on records and tests instead of opinions."
"this paper 'examines market share, reliability, performance, scalability, security, and total cost of ownership'."
Cant help but notice that usability and features aren't listed. There's a reason I still use Photoshop. Its features and ease of use make it worth the price.
"Regardless of who becomes president for the next four years, we are still going to see more stupid laws like these in the future."
Your right, so long as people have no regard for the work of others you will keep seeing laws like this passed becuase you will keep seeing people with the missguided impression that access software/movies/music/etc is a right rather then a privilege.
And as long as your supporting the russian mafia why not buy some crack and hire an underage hooker? Or have you deluded yourself into thinking that the artists get a penny from these russian sites?
It was indeed. My bad, I get my Bushes mixed up at times (if they had diferent names....). So hows this, I can't vote for his son if I'm not a citizen.
"Mr. President, why do you think the Democrats think you're such a bad leader? I think you've done an admirable job, and I can't for the life of me understand why so many people hate you."
For me it was when he said that non Christians shouldn't be considered citizens, much less patriots. So if in his eyes I'm not a citizen, I guess there's no way for me to vote for him.
Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are atheists?
Bush: I guess I'm pretty weak in the atheist community. Faith in God is important to me.
Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?
Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
Sherman (somewhat taken aback): Do you support as a sound constitutional principle the separation of state and church?
Bush: Yes, I support the separation of church and state. I'm just not very high on atheists.
So, they've invented SED? Cause thats what I've been using for years to replace old/broken links. A simple script using the netsaint/nagios service tests can check if a link is still good and then build a list of bad ones to be replaced by script number two using SED.
"I couldn't do this with a desktop P4 or Athlon XP processor etc since they get too hot to passively cool"
Not true, you CAN passively cool a high end P4 or AMD system. However its not worth it. I use the same VIA motherboard as you do for my web server for much the same reason. I dont bother with fanless for my main systems because the RAID makes more noise then the fans.
You know what they say when you assume. Do a quick internet search on these sites (allofmp3.com, mp3club.ru etc). The artists get nothing, your money for the most part goes to the Russian mafia. So you may as well be using Kazza or what have you.
"I am willing to bet it will be struck down as inhibiting legitimate anonymous free speech."
Since when does freedom of speach extend to the illigal distribution of copywritten movies over the internet? Since that is the only instance when this law can take effect I realy dont see what everyone is so worked up over. Hell, there is even an exception clause for sending movies to your firends and family.
"If i stop giving someone money, am I ripping them off?"
If you take someones work without their permission, then yes you are ripping them off. Dont realy see why thats so hard for people to grasp when they'd throw a fit if their boss decided to stop paying them but still expected them to shop up for work.
"Honestly though, if a hacker has payed his debt to society and now wants to help businesses prevent what he was doing(Kevin Mitnick), why not let them?"
Because they have proven themselves to be morally flexible with a deep disregard for other people? Would you hire a convicted back rober to work as a teller at your bank? If so, why?
Given that the ATMs run unpatched Windows XP and have in the past been hit by internet worms I fail to see whats so shocking about any of this. I will not use a Diebold ATM, even if that means I dont eat lunch because there's no other source for cash handy.
Jebus. People aren't even reading the summery, much less the article. Here, let me refresh your memory.
Interestingly however, this does not directly outlaw it, instead extending the penalty by seven years for felonies performed using such fraudulent websites.
So when you use false information to avoid SPAM or protect your privacy are you committing fraud?
"Red Hat is the future. Well, maybe not Red Hat proper, but Red Hat derived distros such as whatever are it. period.
Sorry, the games over now. Everything else will fade and Red Hat and it's derived distros are handle every_single_complaint I've ever had."

In my opinion TCO is also subjective.

It has to have an excercise room, otherwise you couldn't not use it.
Yahoo, lawyer fight! I got ten dollars on the little scrappy guy with the Armani suit.

While this is not allways true with diferent counting systems, in this case there is no number lower then zero.

They also have a lot of experiance from WWII in dealing with dangerous gases.
So long as enough people are responding to spam to make it profitable, if you build it they will spam it.

You may never complain about the RIAA ripping off artists since you have now posted that you yourself like to rip them off even more.
