and anyone who can't use them even after reading the manual should just give up. His car required months of training to learn to use - and years of experience to use well. Computers are a trivial joke by comparison. They cost lots, they are very powerful, they should be hard to use and very hard to use well.
Schools should only let students use the command line or any GUI they can write themselves. Computers should not be allowed to be sold with operating systems. Dumbing down is killing the computer. Better that 5% of people use powerful, difficult monsters than 50% of people use drool-proof macintrash imitations.
I bought one at Harvey Norman. I doubt they would sell them if it was illegal. In any case, it has never been illegal to copy your own CDs to mp3 here, this law just clarifies that.
By the way, iTunes isn't available in New Zealand, and as far as I know, LegalNapster isn't either.
We have them in New Zealand too... the best part is when you chuck them into a fire - instead of tamely burning like a paper note, they let off clouds of noxious smoke and curl up like a paper note but when you fish it out, it sets in its new shape.
Not in New Zealand, where you are required to give up your encryption keys - unless the password itself is incriminating evidence. So make sure you password is something like i3am9going14%&^%t7o%BLOW*UP.?parliame5nt and you're away laughing.
Anyone else notice that the BIOS was copyrighted in the future? It's a nasty trick to buy cheap old hardware then send it back in time and sell it off when it's brand new or not yet released.
Pity it doesn't run on windows at all becuase it crashes if you try to do anything advanced like install or run it. I prefer the nifty Winamp "actually work" feature.
Shouldn't you release the patch when you've made a patch? On the day of the exploit is a bit late... presumably you mean after the exploit hits, given you know it's out.
Suggesting Microsoft would release exploits for their security holes to make people update and install whatever Microsoft wants you to install is a conspiracy theory espoused by lunatics, after all.
Open Source needs just as many patches. The strength of linux and bsd is that unix systems' flaws' in programs are unlikely to affect other programs or the system as a whole. If Microsoft would configure their systems out of the box to minimise the impact of inevitable security flaws, this would be a lot nicer for everyone.
And how many people, exactly, are using dialup, and how many on broadband? People don't see a need.
I do nothing on my cable connection I didn't do on dialup. I only do more of it, and faster.
Regardless of how you pick the candidates, still basically half the voters pick one and half the other. It doesn't matter how you flip the coin. They're both the same.

One wonders... is Debian the new Gentoo? Or is it the old one, coming back? Those on non-package-managed distros better look out!
/In other words, you fundamentally cannot give the user full knowledge without relinquishing full control./
Orwellian.

The traffic cops are all the annoyance we need, thank you very much...
Still is a British colony. Still is.
Which is called a 'patch'

(It was an accident)
You got a handbook? Bastard. I didn't even get a lousy pancreas manual.
Nope.

yup, follows...

Oh, and the mac finder sucks too.
And BSD is dead.
So there.
Well, it's all cleared up by the cut-and-paste karma whores in the comments now, so just read through.

it's supposed to be a really cheap noc. go figure.
The cure for famine is billions of years old. It's called food.
If you forked out for a decent case you wouldn't cut yourself.

and my pentium 133 no more than a week and a half... (from stage1)
Not again... Please... no...
I /hate/ it when people beat me to the obvious comment by just minutes!
