Again, you are making the incorrect assumption that "consumers making copies of films they bought" refers to backup copies. If it's patently obvious to you and me that such examples shouldn't be considered, it's not logical to assume that the analysts don't understand this.
It's patently obvious that you shouldn't take anything for granted when dealing with the MPAA. Until I get exact info on what was asked, I'm not assuming anything.
"These measures will help assure that the information superhighway does not turn into a red light district," Exon said at the time. "It will help protect children from being exposed to obscene, lewd, or indecent messages."
Two possibilites: Either you have no idea what tunneling is, or you believe that they would want to black ALL communication and not just file sharing.
Private edge routing means that ALL packets from the host go to the router, where they can be acted on. If you want to stop tunneling, require a proxy and set the proxy so that only known protocols are allowed.
Not so, I can easily route around your restricted access rules by using SSH tunneling.
No you can't. What he describes works via IP routing in concert with switches between you and the router. Your only option is wireless, which means creating a separate network. You can stop ssh tunneling by also restricting or banning what goes out of the router. This is a heavy handed, nasty thing, so it's understandable why the GP wouldn't want to do it.
The problem with hungarian notation is you can never change the data type easily
Sure you can, it's easy as pie. If you want strAddress to be a std::string instead of const char *, then do it. Just don't encode useless crap like system level type info in the name.
But if you dump hungarian notation and use descriptive variable, method and class names
That's what Hungarian notation IS! It's just formalized - stuff like strShippingAddress and pConnectionFactory are hungarian. Don't be fooled by that abomination in Redmond.
Because people would want to talk to a real human, and would fill out the forms in such a way that would get them to that L2 operator as fast as possible.
Hell, I do that now. I've also stopped entering my account info because the human I get never has it anyway.
An example of a job that now requires a college degree is that of a nurse. About 30 years ago, a person could become a nurse by studying some material and getting on the job training. Nursing school was also an option (which is a good thing). Now days, it is against the law to be a nurse without having a college degree.
Don't be a tard.
Nurses (RN) need only complete 2 years to get an associates degree (NVCC has a good and cheap program)
LPNs have much lower training requirements and do a lot of the scutwork. Last I checked it was something like 6 weeks.
If you're serious about a BS in something, move somewhere that has good community colleges and a cheap, good 4 year college (like Northern VA). Do your 2 year at the CC for cheap, then transfer to the 4 year (GMU, for instance) and get your BS for cheap as well. If my mother could do it while raising a son and having no income, then you sure as hell can.
Engineers who genuinely need 3000x2000, or filmmakers who really do need 48-bit colour probably have a need for a very high-end graphics card that supports these kinds of features. So, a generic "forget expensive graphics cards" may not entirely be fair.
Ok. Forget expensive cards unless you have a reason not to. This is most people.
PCI-X has a relatively high latency, but games are real-time - if the data can't get displayed in time, it can produce some really ugly results.
We're talking sub ms latency - nobody can notice that.
Finally, there's the gratuitous mark-up factor. Graphics cards don't make much profit, because volume is low. However, shareholders and accountants don't care about volume. Neither do most company directors. They care about what they're able to rake in. A really good graphics card might possibly sell one graphics card for every fifty computers sold, so if they want to strut their stuff and look stinking rich, they need to mark up the boards accordingly.
Sort of, but not really. Graphic card volumes are low because most people don't really need them. They use what came with the computer and it's just fine. Directors absolutely care about volume - it's part of revenue and determines pricing. The markup isn't gratuitous, it's what the market will bear. It has to be enough to pay for R&D or the company goes under. Lower end cards are priced according to predicted price points so as to maximise revenue.
I believe it would be better if someone founded a cottage industry and made their own high-end graphics cards, making and selling them on weekends or other free time
This is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You can't make high end graphic cards in your spare time, the time investment is too great. By the time you were ready to mask, nVidia would be selling the equivalent card for $50. This ain't tea cozys.

So, if someone breaks into my house and waves a gun around (and is then shot dead), would that even show up on your stats? Also, please not that simply displaying a gun when approached by a criminal has stopped many more than 5000 crimes in 2002.

Personally, I'm worried about all the 16-year-old kids cursing up a storm. My 26-year-old ears don't like it anymore :(
That's the thing - eventually, you grow up and 'fuck' is boring by itself. It takes actual wit to offend.
He didn't mention planes. I know that, where I work, a crashed server isn't even a big deal.
No, you didn't have to do that. Without the callous disregard for loss of life, that exchange is just stupid.
Doubtlessly, many "smart" people enjoy various forms of non-intellectual entertainment
My entire point is that intellectual people can enjoy down and dirty entertainment, so the comic book movie slam is just crap.
But Gene gets paid to watch those...
Yes, but he enjoys a good explosion movie.

Wait.. you watch comic book movies and claim to be an intellectual?
Gene Siskel is an intellectual and he sees Steven Seagal movies.
You can't hire anyone you want to help you with them
You mean they have to be gasp competent?
There are a whole helluva lot more of those people in the market, at varying levels of experience, supporting Microsoft products.
Well duh, MS has 10 years and 90% market share on Linux.
Because Microsoft products are well documented, well versioned, and widely (usually well) taught.
And frequently, MS products have weird interactions, just like Linux. It's also more tangled compared to Linux.
"These measures will help assure that the information superhighway does not turn into a red light district," Exon said at the time. "It will help protect children from being exposed to obscene, lewd, or indecent messages."
Yeah, that worked out so well.
Now 9/11, that is different. It is a (the only?) significant attack on US soil and US civilians
It is one of a few attacks on US soil in our history. Here's what I can remember:

Auto-complete + commands for choosing the correct name from the possible ones.
Just for you, I'll sprinkle APIs that differ only in case throughout my code.
Do you have any idea what kinds of freedoms people actually gave up during previous wars?
Hint: we're not in a war. War requires a declaration, which we haven't done since 1941.
I don't like Bush, but I still respect the power he holds...
Me too, although it's like when a guy starts waving a gun around in a Wendy's - sure he's a nutjob, but he could end you if you're unlucky.

Chuck Norris will not be his successor. He was just the guy who preceded Chuck Norris.
Very funny. I would love to see a challenge between Chuck and one of Hatsumi's lieutenants, although it'd be a short fight.
I have a lot of respect for the Tokugare Ninpo schools
Togakure. Just saying.
hey, want a Rolex for $50? If you don't know that it's either fake or stolen you're an idiot
$50? You paid too much. For $30, you can get one that does the constant sweep motion that Rolex is famous for.
