How does the provider know if you read it or not? I'm pretty sure reading of messages is not done "online", the contents are copied to your phone. And of course the counter-example is that if they only charge for reading what prevents me from hacking my phone to not report that I've read a message.

So basically it has no chance of spreading across the public internet. Which means that the author basically released it into his own LAN? Seems like a silly worm.
It strikes me that optimising for constraints over 2 code paths in a single unit isn't too far a stretch from optimising for constraints over 8 code paths in 8 units.
I think you missed the word hetereogenous in the article. It's not 8 identical units, its 8 different units.
"Hello world" in C# will definitely run under Mono or.NET without recompilation. Its not very useful I grant you but that I can attest does work. Did work in fact, over a year ago.
Yep, basically. There are plenty of Linux distros that don't have so many apps in the base install. Knoppix for instance is a live cd and an installer and it fits on one cd.
Safari doesn't run apps, it just has the ability to do an effective double click on files after they are downloaded. The problem is safari is checking to see if the file is "safe" by the extension, and the finder will use all availible metadata to determine a file's type. So safari opens what looks like a.mov and finder sees an executable.
Try unzipping the file and double clicking the movie. You probably have "Open safe files disabled". I'm running 10.4.5 and it works (if I can use that word in this case) for me.
If you needed to play WoW to learn these basically common-sense principles for GMs, I am going to have to flamebait and say that you were probably a mediocre GM before you learned all these "lessons" from an MMORPG.
A unix script can't be wrapped up in a app bundle to hide its icon. Well it can, but as soon as it does, it becomes an application and follows the same rule. Furthermore, unix scripts aren't double-clickable unless they have a.command extension. I take that back, the command extension only lets it run in terminal. But once you change the extension to command it gets a "command" icon. Regardless, to make it a double-clickable bundle with an arbitrary icon, it becomes an app by definition and you get the warning.
My first computer was an IBM PS/1 (286) with one 3 1/2" floppy drive, no hard drive, but it did have a modem which was sufficient for prodigy. It was on this machine that I got introduced to ZZT (and BASIC). So I got networking and Object-Oriented programming all in one go.
Fix permissions has little to do with the file-system. Yes, its dumb, but not because of the file-system. You need to fix-permissions when apps (Carbon-based usually) that were written without awareness of FS permissions (since they were sitting on an OS whose FS didn't have fs permissions) update important files that need to be read by a host of programs. When these ignorant apps write these files with their default umasks, it wreaks all sorts of havoc. You don't repair fs permissions because the filesystem loses permissions from time to time (since it doesn't), you do it because some programs are not forwards-compatible and inadvertantly change the permissions.
Hey now, don't talk smack about WFC! Sure there's practically no interaction at all except competively during the game (unless of course you're playing AC) but at least it only takes 10minutes to find 3 opponents for a race of Mario Kart!

Dude, shutup! Don't give them any ideas!
When was the last time you saw a list of citations in a work of fiction.
You obviously don't read a whole lot of Michael Crichton

It's a sequel, not a remake. If you are really really worried, just don't see it.
Lame.

If Windows came with the amount of software Fedora does it would be four discs as well. I'm sure Office is at least one CD.

It's a .NET app, so you could try running it under Mono. Some how I doubt that'll have the effect you're going for.
You are indeed correct.
If I asked you to hold my wallet for me, I should expect you would at least peek in to see how much cash I had on hand.
Really? I can't imagine myself holding someone's wallet and peeking to see how much cash they had. It just seems rude. And weird.
You believe incorrectly.

Moral == Ethical
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
This is the first thing you are told in philosophy of ethics. They are interchangeable terms.
Ok, but what are you told in philosphy of morals?

It's true, they do tend to have problems, but their tech support is one of the best tech supports I've ever called anyway.

4). None of the above
You talk about your conspiracy theory which has MS buying Infinium Labs' tech under the table to create Xbox Live Arcade.
