Simple answer, unless told you can use it, don't. Treat it like a strangers house with an open front door, just because the door is open doesn't mean you are allowed to go in the house and start using their phone.
Nope not a chance. Part of the reason why the insurrgency has been so successful is the low tech aspect. This is something the US found and the forgot about in Vietnam. In a straight up battle, the US probably has the best technology in the world, against simple devices such as road side bombs and car/truck bombs they don't know what to do.
It's one thing to have a language evolve, however it is another just to get it wrong and then complain when you get called over your mistakes.
Bad spelling and incorrect grammar do not equal evolution of language, instead it gives the impression that you weren't paying attention in kindergarden.
Now that we have the ob simpson quote out of the way, let me continue.
Poorly written documents, whether it is technical documentation or articles on the various news sites continue to annoy me.
The problem is not limited to geeks either, I have found many journalists seem to lack basic command of the written word, instead writing as if it were speech. They give me funny looks when I correct their articles before allowing them up on the site I manage.
I'm not saying I am perfect by any means however if you are going to present yourself as a professional then please at least how to punctuate!
I don't know what the situation is on your side of the pacific but I work with the biggest regional broadcaster here in Australia.
We have a situation here where digital (standard def and high def) was basically forced onto the networks with the sweetener that no one else was going to be able to get their hands on a digital broadcast license worth a damn. This has led to an environment where the networks do the minimum necessary under law to convert to digital, but that's about it.
The other thing over here is that cable/satellite television is no where near the competitor that it is in the states, leaving the FTA networks with a status quo thats barely shifted in the last thirty years.
I think we all can agree that Sun's attitude towards Linux has been schizophrenic at best. On one hand they sell a wide range of linux based products, and yet on the other they give funds to SCO.
Funnily enough I have no problem with Sun wanting to use Linux in their product range, nor in fact do I have a problem with the license they released OpemSolaris under, what I have a problem with is the constant stream of "We love Linux"/"Linux is run by commo hippies". Settling on a position for longer than six months would be a good idea I am thinking.
Way to completely misread the ruling. What they are saying is if you market a product based on its ability to share illegal files then you are libel for people sharing illegal files. However if you market a file sharing product based on its many legal uses and stay the hell away from illegal file sharing then you are fine.
As to the eminent domain issue, councils and governments have always had the power to aquire property at market value, nothing new or controversial here.
I think there is a small chance that the Coalition might not make it through this term as a cohesive whole. Remember, the Nationals are now going to have the liberals over a barrel, especially when it comes to things like the Sale Of Telstra.
Could I just point something out here, the UN is meant to be a governmental democracy, that is each government gets one vote, with the exception of the US, UK, Russia, China and France who get a veto on security council matters.
This means that Kofi Annan is not going to be able to do anything without the say so of the member nations, this includes the US who have used their power of veto to support just as many questionable allies as the russians or chinese.
As to the point about the preemptive strike, does that mean that North Korea now has the right to preemptivly strike the US because they demonstrably have WMD?
Open Solaris is not going to do anything to "Smash the Monopoly". Most normal people think solaris is either a book or movie not an OS.
Apple on Intel might have an effect, however if Apple continues its policy of hardware lockin (yes even under Intel architecture) its impact is not going to be as great as they would like.
I think on this one we are going to have to agree to disagree. I do think you are wrong on this issue and I do believe that it is a prejudice due to your last statement, however that is your business and you must live with the consequences of it just like everyone else must live with theirs.
My own personal experience has told me that a persons piercings or body art has no bearing on who the person is. My wife has a tattoo, I have an earing and yet we are both intelligent people who are quite capable of making rational judgements based on available evidence. We are raising three children to be good and loving adults with a sense of justice and the ability to think for themselves and not accept whatever they are told on face value.
Okay so you are willing to let some brilliant potential employee who could possibly bring your company millions go just because they have a tat or piercings?

No the stupidist thing is comparing abstract concepts such as discovery and innovation to finite physical resources.
Okay here's a simple equation for you:
Invention = (Discovery + Innovation) Therefore to more we discover the more we can innovate and invent.
I call crap on this. There is still so much that we do not know. And as we discover new areas there will be new bursts of innovation.
Then conceivably SCO would still have a chance to knock IBM for continuing to distribute AIX after SCO supposedly pulled their SYSV license.
With regards to the whole "Linux ate our baby" thing, it's not going to change a whole lot.

I'm guessing something like a release manager.
This is why I use Postgres, that and the amazing thing it can do with its tongue :)

Follow the money. Google has the most money, therefore they are the best target to go for.
Im just trying to think what google could do beyond some of the obvious - Ignoring multiple clicks from same IP on same ad target.
Any system is going to involve an element of fraud if there are human beings involved.

I know, I know replying to an anonymous cowherd and all but...
Where the hell did I even bring up SUSE?

im sorry but if VoyaGER => V'ger then CosMOS => CMOS, can I get my geek points now???

So because You are uncomfortable with something legal means someone else has to forgo their right to do that thing? How very fifties of you.
Does this mean that because overt displays of religious belief disturb me then all churches, mosques and other holy places should be shut down?
Let us jsut pause for a second in this serious discussion to ponder the image of young norwegian women with not so visible piercings shall we....
Right carry on

Somehow I don't think the tats or piercings are going to cause you a problem when stacked up against your ego.
