Well, since I know I would never pay so much for music to fill an 30-60 GB mp3 player
Suppose you have been buying 10CDs a year for 15 years. That's 150CDs or 15GB. Now, don't you want some extra space for the next several years of music as well as audiobooks (around 500MB each) and movies? If not, you can buy what most people get these days - 2-4GB Nano. I am not saying copying is bad, its just I don't have time to search for all the stuff when I can get what I want instantly for a few bucks. Then why should I pay the tax?
This guy doesn't have a proven ability to secure the country from malware or filter our malicious payload from external traffic. We don't planes crashing through any more Windows.
How do you know these are not burned CDs from iTunes music store, copies of purchased originals which are in a bookshelf for safekeeping or fair use copies from family members? (If RIAA ever sues someone for making a copy for their spouse, they will soon find themselves together with asbestos and lead paint companies. American public doesn't easily gets excited, but when they do they get pretty bloodthirsty).
Its a big technical task of creating this pervasive database store (especially with a organizational structure like Microsoft seems to have), as far as I know no one has ever done this before
Oh well, you could set the boot order to only hard drive in regular BIOS and set all the passwords that this particular BIOS allows to prevent the user from altering - or ideally even viewing - the setup. Then install, say, Linux with parallels and boot messages suppressed and you can boot user's "secure" CD and do all the key/network logging and screen capture you want.
Popularity and a $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee.
Find one sort-of-known musician who can not score a free Starbucks or whatever, and you can convince all these pesky companies to stop spending money on advertisement.
If he is able to copy a leather jacket or a BMW using his own raw materials and is not otherwise able to afford cloth or a car, he sure should do exactly that.
Otherwise how are you going to read your rainbow disk if the paper is slightly rotated, crumbled or sheared? With geometric shapes, you can detect these effects and compensate for them.
At this point I haven't a clue why. I heat my home with an open flame. When my heat is on and I hand wash clothes, I dry them over that flame. My gas bill does not go up when I do so.
Resulting evaporation, does however lower the temperature of your house, which would drive your gas bill up if it got too cold for your comfort.
Do you really expect companies not to advertise their strong features that are ahead of competition? Do you think it's even good for users? If someone had bad experience with PC security, at least these ads make them aware of an alternative.
These days databases are seldom exposed to Internet, so security exploits based on OCI or SQL problems are not important. Might as well disclose security exploits from within a driver loaded into kernel. They should disclose some application server bugs.
Given a complex enough virtual world, Heisenberg uncertainty principle will manifest itself through small variation in timing between different events, if not outright hardware glitches.
Actually a turing test refers to a test to see if a program can be distinguished from a human being. Programs that are intelligent, but not very human-like would fail.
These days playing Second Life with talking animals in sexual situations is bound to give you a virtual STD. Actually I am kind of surprised the first in-game worm is not transmitted though sex between players. That would create a nice Linden buck market in virtual condoms.
The point is that uprisings against existing government are potentially detremental to human society, as evidenced by Iraq and a handful of African countries. If you want to critisize said governments for supressing descent, you might first stop sponsoring state executions of helpless, imprisoned people who are in no position to do future harm.
Maybe that's not for you, but some people are writing code at their non-work time for fun, self-education, addressing their own needs or desire to contribute to future technology. You will just have to come up with something better than what is available for free to keep paying your rent.
Well, if you say "Geroge Bush is a Poopie Head" in Texas, people will yawn and maybe some redneck will beat you up. When you say "Kim Jong II is a Poopie head" in North Korea, you might start a civil war that kills a million innocent, ordinary people and is not guaranteed to have a happy ending. See how great democracy is doing in Iraq?
Before we tell others to not to prosecute speech that has potentially disastrous results, perhaps we should stop executing people for a single murder or jailing them for matters that only directly related to their own bodies - such as drugs, abortion and assisted suicide.
Oh come on, factual violence needs to be in the public eye, but most TV shows are fiction. In fact, massacares in Iraq, Rwanda and etc are usually not shown on TV as they occur. And if I choose to videotape myself every time I fuck, that's my business. And so it is if I choose to videotape simulated violence and make the recordings available to other people. Freedom doesn't mean everything I do has to benefit the society, although I suspect depictions of healthy sex and an occasional action movies do. It just means I have a right to do anything which is not an actual violence against others.

Only applies for driving in the fast lane when you are driving slower than others.

Just google for Core Data

and I've purchased kids movies after my kids came home from his place saying they loved xxx movie or purchased movies based on his recommendation.
Dude, your kids might not give you the best advise on where to get your porn!
How do you know you are not booting your life CD into a virtualizer run by your hacked EFI firmware?
They will give some tips on using pencil and eraser as a low cost alternative

You can't cool a room by opening the door to your refrigerator
You can, if you either only need cooling for a portion of the day or you ventilate the back side of refrigirator to outside.

Yeah right, traffic signs and such were developed exactly because streets became (more) unsafe when horse carriages were replaced by automobiles.
