If Apple didn't cave to "that guy with the abused 17-inch Powerbook's" extortion campaign, why do you think they'd cave to the demands of a "campaign" four days before the domain name was even registered? I mean, c'mon!
I'm purposefully not including a link to John M.'s site, as I don't think he deserves the hits. Judging by all the advertising he has up, he probably generates $2 a page view.
It needs a small amount of special effects that should be easily done, but obviously could get blown out of proportion in Hollywood. Remember Bob Arctor's suit for meeting with his superior?
Otherwise, I think you're right, and I'm just being pedantic.
Thank you for "getting it". This is why the Director's Cut was true to Dick, while telling a slightly different story. Ironically, Dick's ending was more "Hollywood", in that it was uplifting and contained a tiny ray of hope for Deckard.
It's (hopefully) a parody of what is known as K/S fiction, the K being for Kirk, the S for Spock. The genre, as you guessed, is wider than just Star Trek characters.
No, it's a pretty accurate analogy. The solutions for the person wanting to keep his wireless network or website private are the same. Secure it. If you don't secure it, you are granting access to others by default.
You are ignoring the fact that bandwith is consumed either way, and that someone is paying for that bandwith.
If you leave your lawnmower at my house, and I use it without permission, you going to sue me or call the cops?
If you don't want to provide me with wireless access, then you should secure your network OR see to it that your freakin' radiowaves don't come on to my property. If this means installing a faraday cage around your house, so be it.

Delivering good products *is* the goal(Microsft). Given the choice between A) shipping inferior code(windows) that can be incrementally made better(when pigs fly) and B) shipping NO code(Longhorn) while your competitor(linux) takes all market share, the choice is obvious(Macintosh). This is the case in every business: you seldom, if *ever*, want to ship NOTHING(Longhorn) for months or years at a time (so that you can completely redesign your product) while your competitor becomes firmly entrenched in the market.(Linux)
Given that so many admins spend so much time patching and testing patches, it seems that a good part of the IT industry is already devoted to shoring up systems already in place.
I'm not saying that we should scrap all basic research.
Apparently that is what you are saying.
If you need to do basic research to attack an actual problem in the industry or another branch of science, it's perfectly fine. Researching something just for the sake of research, on the other hand, is nothing but gambling on the tax-payers money. I personally see it as immoral.
Do I need to explain the difference between science and technology to you?

I think you voided your waranty by lifting the hood.

hlee,
You might want to check out some of Doris Lessing's stuff, most notably Briefing for a Descent into Hell and The Golden Notebook.
I did not know that. If there is any chance of the movie translation being decent, it would be if Kaufman penned the script. Maybe Spike could direct.

No, but if you leave your DVD player out on your neighbor's yard, would you be suprised to find it gone the next day?

He also threatened the head of his IT dept. for bragging about "uptime".
George Bush, et al, should read it.
Ummmmm. . . .
Very close, and you get points for knowing and using this word.

You almost had it, but made the rediculous mistake of substituting the "e" for an "i".
And we liked it that way!!!

I had this same mental image when I heard SCO was suing IBM for. . . ONE. . . .MILLION. . . .. DOLLARS!!!
Just some friendly advice: Throw the Jaz drive into a pond or lake and get a CD burner.
According to the specs, it's almost 18 pounds heavier than the 17" model. Some of that must be ballast, to keep it from tipping over.
Apparently that is what you are saying.

Six pin provides power to the FW device (if it is needed). Four pin does not.
