Hopefully we can do away with the international scourge which are Labour parties for good.
1) Don't hold your breath. Both sides are very happy with current two party system, and won't be changing it any time soon.
2) International scourge? What are the Tories/Liberals/Republicans... Scotch mist?
Schmidt was warning users about the risks inherit in using ANY search engine "including Google" and that governments can access data kept by search engines in the future. Dotzler's reaction is truly cringe worthy.
He then goes on to say "There is no ambiguity, no "out of context" here." right after COMPLETELY taking the quote out of context. This is ugly.
...because linux applications have never had holes allowing someone to get a shell on a system, and users are always running the most up to date kernel that has no root exploits available for it.
Pretty much yeah. One thing that linux distros get right is automatic security updates by default. People actually respect these updates so if its connected to the net, its patched. Windows has auto updates too, but for one reason or another people don't trust security updates from Microsoft, so its not unusual to find systems that have NEVER been patched.
Otherwise, you have to trust unaccountable internet entities to provide you abstruse commands to run and hope they aren't trying to trick you into doing even more damage to your system.
Or you do some reading and actually learn something. Being spoon-fed isn't the only option. Especially on Linux.
You seem to have the wrong idea about how these services work. It's not YOUR music stored in the cloud. Its just a internet radio station.
Maybe this revision to the original statement will illustrate my point. "In this day and age, who the hell would even need/want to stream video? I'm glad I have all of my video on my hard drive." - It's non-nonsensical. It does not make sense.
As an Imeem user you have not "lost" anything except access to a cool service. Shit happens, but not to worry - there are other suppliers
I'm not about to let some external party control what I listen to or when I listen to it.
Pfft. Its not about control. Its music as a service.
Streaming music replaces and improves on radio, not your private collection. I have an extensive mp3 collection but enjoy my last.fm subscription when I want something to listen to I haven't heard before. Being able to listen to personalised streams from anywhere with a connection has come in handy many times too.
Conjecture! I mean, I don't have figures to back this up either, but I do know there is shirtloads of code in a Linux distro with an intact BSD/Apache/MIT license. I am not aware of wholesale re-licensing just for the sake of it.
But there is no point saying "if BSD code was restricted from GPL licensing it would be the other way around" because; 1) that is not the way things are and; 2) the whole point of BSD is it does not have these restrictions.
Where BSD code HAS been incorporated into GPL it has been done to comply with the BSD license, exactly as intended by the author. If they did not want their code to be used they would have selected a more restrictive license.
I don't get where the resentment comes from, but I would hazard a guess that it is BSD users (or fanboys if you will) rather then BSD developers who insist on these cyclical arguments.
The MIT and BSD licenses give your software away freely to anyone who wants it, which is what you want if you want your software widely used
Well thats the theory, but GPL software tends to be more widely used then BSD.
...and the GPL licenses give your software away only to people who agree to also give their software away for free, which is what you want if you want to promote free software.
Well thats just wrong. Most GPL contributors don't give a spit about promoting free software, its just a tool to do the job.
If it were refused classification, I'd probably have to move out of the country if I wanted to keep my master copies.
Don't be ridiculous. No classification just means you can't release the movie/game. You could hold private screenings and there isn't a god damn thing anyone can do about it. You could even charge for it under certain circumstances.
Bullshit. The best one man can do to "rebel" is to assassinate an elected leader. Thus derailing the whole democratic process. If you could convince a group of men to resist they become terrorists. If you could convince a whole county or state to resist THEN you might have a legitimate contention, but the fact of the matter is the idea of armed rebellion is quaint and irrelevant today.
But all that aside, do you REALLY believe violence is an appropriate response to the banning of a video game? And what about when you realize the banning is largely symbolic because the game can easily be ordered online? Put down your guns and gain some perspective you psycho!
Market Enabler allows you to fake your network to the Market (root access required).
I've been buying payed apps in Australia since Cupcake, using Markets in the US and EU.
Wow. What a constant struggle your life must be. I especially like how you question the comprehension of others when you fail to grasp basic concepts.
Listen to me carefully... The ratio of damages caused by Microsoft in this case VS. damages against Microsoft by caused by lax copyright enforcement in general has absolutely nothing to do with this case
Paid by The People's Republic of China I guess? Get a grip.
Of course the great irony of your "shill" comment is that you are defending proven IP violations on behalf of a corporation well known for astro-turfing.
The Chinese government is responsible for a lot of things, but I don't see that failing to actively punish infringement makes them responsible for it. That is some pretty epic logic failure right there.
The monetary loss from IP theft perpetrated in this manner is a hell of a lot higher than the fraction attributable to the fonts.
Irrelevant to the case at hand. The whole piracy angle is a mis-direction. It's the licensed copies of Windows that are interesting here, and exactly what that licence covers (not the Chinese fonts apparently)
In this context, "distributing" implies some kind of distribution system. I don't think that CD-R's on a blanket count.
There is no Keyser Söze responsible for all those pirate installs, just millions of individuals. MS on the other hand, is solely responsible for the software they distribute, and every single copy of windows from 98-XP infringes. I wouldn't like to guess how many copies that is, but they have fraudulently accepted payment for each and every copy.
Two problems with your theory.
A) You make the classic geek mistake of overstating the difference between men and women.
B) You have completely ignored the history of the sex toy industry, and who its primary customers are.

If you use IP cameras you don't need any capture cards at all. I set up a 9 camera Zoneminder system like this recently.

First, Start by actually patching your machines and implementing some very basic security stuff..
You know, the kind of stuff that a script kiddie, with aspergers, searching for evidence of UFO's won't be able to get passed.
So Windows is right out then?
Droid has the best specs, but the materials and build quality of the handset itself is disappointing. HTC units feel much nicer.
I've always thought of them more like venom-spitting cobras. Vicious dogs will mess you up, but Cops can fucking kill you.

Yeah, thanks for playing, dickwad.
WoW is fairly basic, it doesn't need more then a single core running at sub 2GHz speeds. Giving it more will not increase your video performance.
If you are struggling to get decent FPS it is your video hardware you want to be looking at, not CPU utilization.

Armed rebellion IS a legitimate choice

What kind of weapon is an 'elephant weapon'?
Usually a .600 Nitro double barrel.

I wouldn't like to guess how many copies that is, but they have fraudulently accepted payment for each and every copy.
But Microsoft have been found to be distributing IP without a licence - this is a much more serious charge then garden variety software piracy.
If Microsoft ignore this ruling then what basis does it have to insist that all those pirate versions be made legit?
