Actually, the parent is correct. If you compromise Mozilla, the hack should be able to do no more than the user account that is running Mozilla. In Windows, such a hack has the potential to have admin privileges to the machine, even if the user account running the process does not (API / kernel entanglement). Given that most Windows users run with Admin privileges by default, Mozilla users on Windows are far more likely to be successfully compromised than Mozilla users on other operating systems.
We can probably hold Microsoft innocent of the arbitrary reads and writes from and to the clipboard.
That does not give you the right to do something illegal back to him.
What law says that this action is illegal? If a cracker uses the software in a manner for which it is not warranted, and in a manner expressly forbidden by the license, which law (I'm assuming we're talking about the U.S. legal system) holds the software author or publisher culpable?
I'm not condoning the technique, I'm simply speculating that it is not actually illegal, even if it ought to be.
Seriously, I always liked J. Michael Straczynski's (sp?) answer when asked how fast Star Furies could go: "They move at the speed of plot." Look's like the writers are learning from JMS.
BTW: Has no one thought of "relativistic leakage." That would conveniently allow you to experience plot-constrained time dilation within a warp field.
Maybe they could put a kinetic drive in there, you know, like in those watches. I'd pay to see someone do calistenics while driving their car and talking on this sucker.
I have to agree with the other respondents here. I'd also add the following. Many religions encourage, or even require, literacy.
The Bible itself commends that people read and understand it:
"This book of the law should not depart from your mouth, and you must in an undertone read in it day and night, in order that you may take care to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way successful and then you will act wisely." -- Joshua 1:8
Don't be so quick to point to religion as a cause of illiteracy.
...We can move beyond that through technology, and that's what I want to discuss today. Hydrogen fuel cells represent one of the most encouraging, innovative technologies of our era. And if you're interested in our environment and if you're interested in doing what's right for the American people, if you're tired of the same old endless struggles that seem to produce nothing but noise and high bills, let us promote hydrogen fuel cells as a way to advance into the 21st century. (Applause.)
We saw cars engineered to run on hydrogen. When you walk around this curtain and you take a look at those vehicles, they are going to run on hydrogen. We saw cell phones that can run on hydrogen, lap top computers. There's going to be all kinds of applications for the use of hydrogen-powered fuel cells in our society.
And there's a lot of advantages that I want to explain to the American people about why this initiative makes sense. First, the hydrogen can be produced from domestic sources -- initially, natural gas; eventually, biomass, ethanol, clean coal, or nuclear energy. That's important. If you can produce something yourself, it means you're less dependant upon somebody else to produce it.
Regardless of your opinion of President Bush, you've got to give him credit for speaking seriously about an actual agenda for the so-called "hydrogen economy." Hydrogen (in fuel cells) is the transport, nuclear power (fission now, fusion later) is the source.
Quoth Darl, "They've infringed on our stuff!"
Opening lawsuits aplenty with fluff,
SCO borrowed some money,
From BayStar, how funny!
Who sued SCO stating, "'Not evil enough!'"
There was a small company named SCO,
Whose chief did kvetch and crow,
"My code they have stolen,"
"I've got proof in my colon!"
But such proof he never would show.
Comparing Pragmatic Programmer to The Art of Computer Programming is like saying that raisins are just like prunes because they both make you go to the bathroom if you eat enough of them.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Pragmatic Programmer and would consider it a classic, but TAOCP clearly has more, ummm, fiber.
I'd go with "we suck at maintaining these machines." In the Florida fiasco of 2000, two problems collided and magnified each other. The first was entirely preventable.
In much the same way that copy machines get ornery about making double-sided documents without jamming, some of the mechanical voting machines caused the casting of a ballot to be physically difficult. This was a problem of maintenance. Replacing some parts of the machine, had these machines been examined or properly tested, would have eliminated this problem.
The second was confusing ballot design. In this, the ballot designers and voters must share equal blame. Shame on the designers for making the ballot confusing, and shame on the voters for not studying the ballot with extreme care.
While you're correct that recording the votes correctly and permanently would not prevent them from being miscounted, it would enable them to be subject to recounts that could be accurate. As another poster here suggested, checksums could be taken and published against the disks as they were created, adding even more of paper trail. And if the votes were stored as individual text files, each vote could be manually counted by a human. Getting the count right the first time is desirable, making an accurate and independent recount possible is absolutely critical.

Let us not forget to "circle back and touch base so we can strategize about the synergy we're all feeling."
Ick. Typing that just felt wrong.
I feel a Woody Allen movie citation coming on...

Very simple, it is stateless so it remembers nothing from command to command. Here's what it would look like to use it:
I for one plan to skip this distro.What pacing and energy?

Sadly, it appears Dr. McCoy was right about the effects of transporters on the human body.
