Actually I would say it's your IT departments fault for not locking down Windows. There's nothing in OSX or Linux that will stop adware/spyware, but users generally do not run as root so damaged is limited.
If you're letting your Windows users run as local administrators with with rights to execute any old ActiveX code you're asking for trouble.
I tried Goblins on an older version of ScummVM and it had copy protection. In later versions it was gone. Either I did something by accident or they disabled it.

No, but my wallet has 'Genuine stingray skin' written on it. Does that count?
Well, cable internet is roughly the same price in the UK as ADSL. Now, this is mostly market presure (ADSL is cheap, so cable must be to compete), however these cable companies are still in business so they must be making a profit.
I've only ever seen 'observation decks' in continental Europe. The UK seems to have skipped these. IIRC they do serve a purpose in countries that eat lots of undercooked pork - to check for worms.
In my experience ActiveSync syncs as soon as the device is plugged it. No Stylus necessary. And AFAIK it always has. Sounds like you're using an application that doesn't support syncing.
Antiquated is an understatement. It's like something from the C64 days. I'd read so many good things about the Palms over the years but when I finally used one I couldn't believe how backwards they were.
I think he's talking about the motherboard power connector. They used 2 Molex connectors of 2x6 pins instead of 1 with 2x12 pins. Which means you could plug them in the wrong order.
The 68000 didn't have fixed opcode size. The minimum was 2 bytes though. If you think 2 kinds of registers are a nuisance you should try programming on the x86!
Later 680x0 processors allowed you to use Dx registers as address registeres IIRC, but had a performance hit.
It's not a national holiday in the UK. Over here mostly local schools are used as polling stations (the kids do get the day off though). They are open late so I don't really see a need to take the day off unless you need to travel 100s of miles or something. It's not like voting takes longer than 10 minutes.
Slashdot Mirror
Does it include the 'CD copy protection' loadable module?
Not email. mail.yahoo.com is the first

Don't worry he's probably an Atari fanboy :-)
Insert voting paper into machine
Machine? Where I live we use a pencil.
Put an on/off switch on every mains socket. Very common in the UK.
Didn't the great Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilisations all collapse?

Don't worry, it's often used here to justify the US's crap public transport too.
Windows NT upwards (including 2000 & XP) was designed to run securely and has all the security features of Unixes. Windows 9x wasn't.

Reminds me of a joke:
Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning. He told Bush that 3
Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq.
To everyone's amazement, all the color drained from Bush's face then he
collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.
Finally, he composed himself and asked Rumsfeld, "Just exactly how many
is a brazilian?"
yeah RIGHT, like *every* fuckin' bit of software isn't full o' holes
Yeah, but not every fuckin bit of software is directly exposed to the internet.
He's finish(ed) :-)
Why not download from newsgroups / bittorrent? It's just as legal as allofmp3, but cheaper.

That used to be not uncommon. Even my Amiga 500 (1989) came with schematics. At some point computer manufacturers stopped.
Probably an insurance job.
WTF is OSX?
