Israeli incursions into Palestinian camps are combat zones. What, do you think they're going in there with squirt guns and getting flowers from the Palestinians? No, they're getting shot at, bombs stuck to their tanks, so they're gonna have itchy trigger fingers.
So, what happens if a kid brings their netgear MR814 router with them and every time he gets cut off, he simply changes the Internet-side MAC address of the router through the handy-dandy html-based admin tool?
At the University of Rochester, we had to register our MAC addresses with ITS. Plugging a non-registered MAC address into the network resulted in that network port being shut down for ~30 minutes within about 30 seconds of plugging the ethernet cable in.
Why should the [PDA/Phone/low-bandwidth whatever] have to download the same markup and content a browser does? Why should the user not have an abbreviated, concise version to read on his smaller or lower bandwidth device?
That's exactly the benefit of CSS/XHTML!
You put all the layout, formatting, etc. in a CSS stylesheet and have an alternate stylesheet for PDAs.
Your HTML is all the most basic markup possible...
<h1>header text</h1>
<p>text here</p>... and all the styling and layout is done in your CSS specially written for the PDA display.
You can't go any lower bandwidth than that without truncating the actual information!
Doubtful - the leaker and the people hosting the source on their servers will be in trouble, but those downloading probably won't.
It'd be like finding a Harry Potter 6 book and reading it - perfectly legal. It's different, though, if you're a worker at the warehouse and you give it out to all your friends.
Commercial wisdom says: It may work, but its not optimized, so users don't get the best possible experience. There are other valid reasons why you may not want to stream the same markup and/or content at all devices, such as bandwidth speed and low device memory, not to mention readability.
Proper CSS/XHTML allows you to stream the same contents and use a different stylesheet for something like a PDA to make it look just right.
CSS/XHTML will reduce bandwidth use, not increase it. Take a look at CSS Zen Garden for wonderful examples.
It is in a nation's best interests to keep those inherently lazy and selfish citizens happy. You take away central planning and social safety nets, and the people you're taking them from will revolt. After all, they may be lazy, but they're not gonna let themselves starve.
Human nature wants someone else to do the planning, the providing of services, and most people are just fine with paying some taxes to preserve that status quo.
For true libertarianism to work, everyone's gotta be all for it - never gonna happen, not without fundamentally changing human nature.
I want control over my own money, and I *don't* want control over anyone else's. Is that too much to ask?
Yes, actually. In fact, it's patently absurd. We pay taxes and elect representatives so we don't have to administer public services like roads, police and fire departments, defense, etc. ourselves.
If you really want control over your money, go live in a virtual anarchy like Afghanistan and see if you'd rather be paying those taxes again.
Frankly, the people I elect should (and do) have control over my tax dollars - not me. That's why we elect 'em.
If you don't like AIDS research, elect a candidate who will remove funding for AIDS research.
Better yet, vote for someone who'll cut the defecit so we don't have so many decisions that involve cutting funding for one thing to fund another slightly more important thing.
Not sure about the figures under the Bush Administration, but as of 1998 cancer got more research money than AIDS.
For FY1998, NIH is allocating a total of $1.61 billion for AIDS research, or 12% of the $13.6 billion total NIH budget. Funding for research on AIDS in FY1998 is second only to the National Cancer Institute ($2.3 billion non-AIDS funds) and more than that for the next highest funded institute, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute ($1.5 billion non-AIDS funds).
I also support AIDS research because, while it may affect 1% of our population here, it affects something like 50% of Africa's. There are likely tens of millions of Chinese suffering from the disease, being covered up by the government there. It is a dangerous, widespread epidemic and we shouldn't just turn a blind eye to it.
Given the problems I had legitimately changing my domain name details, hackers should have a difficult time breaking in...:-p After all, what good is admin access if the bloody thing doesn't work anyways?
I'd bet you large sums of money that the Lindows offer includes something that says "you agree to reimburse Lindows for the cost of your free merchandise if your claim is rejected" or something like that.
The whole concept of stealing was made long before computers appeared and only makes sense when applied for physical things.
Then, as often happens with language, the definition of "to steal" has changed to reflect changes in technology. After all, when one "steals" something, you've got something that you don't have the right to have.
But since using the word "steal" seems to bug you so much, I'm gonna use a different word - "wrong". Breaking the GPL is "wrong". Violating copyright is "wrong". Warezing some game company's hard work is "wrong".
They didn't make the code IE only to piss you off. I know the webmaster of the Relic site and/msg'ed him on IRC - he wasn't sure why Mozilla couldn't download it properly.
You seem to have a bit of an entitlement complex. Relic doesn't have to release the source code, ya know.
Well, if you're using Linux you'd have your work cut out for ya to port it anyways...
I'm sure there's a computer somewhere in the surrounding 20 miles that you have access to that runs Windows, especially if you're a gaming enthusiast (and not just trolling the games section here).
RDN Access Level 1 is automatically given to everyone who registers - it's the default level. People with Level 1 access have full access to the source code.
I've had a few problems browsing the site with Moz Firebird, worked better in IE... perhaps try that?

"Israeli military killing members of the press"
I dare you to find a single war that hasn't had reporters killed in it.
In a combat zone, with on-edge, stressed troops, a camera looks remarkably like a weapon - a rocket launcher, say.
Reporters going into a war zone know it's dangerous, they know the risks.

It appears perfectly readable to me, and the controls were intuitive enough for me.
Maybe you just need to up your prescription.

Electricity depended on scientific progress to become viable.
Your political system depends on a complete change to human nature.
See the difference?
The fact that they don't exist should tell you something about the viability of the idea.

Let's be honest here: *you* don't support it. You want *other* people to support it through their taxes.
Um... I pay my share of taxes, too. I support part of those taxes going to pay for AIDS research.

Assuming that we know everything about physics there is to know, of course.
Well, there is one benefit to using Verisign...

Have you actually gone through the entire process? I'd imagine it'd be near the last step.
Lindows isn't going to let just anyone file a claim and accept any financial losses by saying "whoops, well damn, shouldn't 'a done that".
I'd bet you large sums of money that the Lindows offer includes something that says "you agree to reimburse Lindows for the cost of your free merchandise if your claim is rejected" or something like that.
Like it not, the definitions of words change. Take piracy, for example.
:-p
" The unauthorized use or reproduction of copyrighted or patented material: software piracy."
Arguing semantics because you can't come up with a real argument against the other person's point is a pretty good sign you've lost the argument.
Avast, burglar! Stop stealing and pirating that software. Arrr.

Open Source 3d engines already exist, what's the big deal with this one?
I'd like to see one of these OSS engines that rivals Homeworld... got a link?
Most of the reviewers are of the opinion that Homeworld did set the standard for others to follow, too.
I'm gonna link you to this wonderfully insightful AC to answer that.
You're using something that you don't have the right to use - I'll call it stealing, whether you like it or not.
Well, if you're using Linux you'd have your work cut out for ya to port it anyways...
