he didn't run until after he'd picked up a newspaper, walked through the ticket bararier, and saw a train about to leave, same as any other london commuter
Actually, he didn't run at all, but was followed onto the train by undercover officers, and sat down calmly on a seat just like anyone else. Until the armed police officers turned up afterwards and shot him, he wasn't behaving suspiciously at all.
Yes - and then we'd know exactly who's machine has been trojaned with much less effort. The ISP can then disconnect them until they have patched their OS/removed the trojan.
That's true, in principle, but it would probably result in a situation where there are so many of these people that the ISP won't be able to cut them off, for fear of losing reputation or customers. Ironically, this could become so common place that a spammer would not need to hide his identity anymore, because his account would be indistiguishable from the hoards of zombies machines.
This is why most spammers are still relying on open relays and zombie machines.
Which begs the question, how does this solution deal with zombie machines, given that these are being used more and more to send spam? It shouldn't be too difficult to set up a trojan remailer which uses the user's email account to forward spam. Wouldn't this be declared as valid, and presumably laying the blame on the user.
it is a mater of Apple not willing to accept a return of the product.
The point is, though, that the work is done by Apple, and should be done to as high a standard as the original manufacturing, and they should be prepared to offer a guarantee on it. Even with a well designed product, there is always a chance that a component will fail, and therefore the system should be fully guaranteed. It would be fair enough not accepting returns if the buyer had modified it, but not guaranteeing your own workmanship is a cop out.
Read the small print next time. I think it's reasonable for them to claim that it is a custom configuration, but refusing to support it when they have done the assembly is pretty disgraceful.
Mac OS X (and probably prior, but I have no experience) advocates not using the MDI paradigm.
So does Qt. The documentation for the MDI widget says that research has shown that MDI is confusing, so the widget should not be used, but it's just provided for completeness.
These are all specific to genkernel, which is a script for generating a generic kernel and initial ramdisk which will in theory autodetect any hardware, as used on the live CD. The real_root argument is parsed by the init program (I suspect), which resides on the initial ramdisk, and tells it where the actual root filesystem is located, whereas root= specifies the ramdisk which will be used for the first boot stage.
You could start to acclimatise your coworkers by walking around pulling out they're power cords at random intervals while they're trying to do important work. That way when windows is rolled out, they'll appreciate the helpful blue message that tells them they're fscked, rather than just a blank screen.
What you have to realise is that because the defence projects take much more development time than commercial stuff, components are constantly becoming obsolete, requiring major redesign work. In addition to this, specifications are commonly upgraded to add emerging technologies to the product, resulting in more redesign work and delays. Then there is the problem of spending cuts reducing the end order, hence increasing the unit price, and resulting in rocketing costs. These are all common problems in the defence industry and plague many projects. Often, the best thing to do is just cancel the project.
So, how far does Linux have to come to match these tools?
Linux is just a kernel. The question should be "How many tools must an embedded linux vendor ship to match the standard vxworks package?". From the point of view of Wind River, this probably means porting a lot of what they already have. Not a bad strategy, really, given that the toolchain is often the deciding factor in the choice of OS.
True. Unfortunately, people have been trying to develop good speech recognition for years, and it is still a long way from being viable as the main input method.
He was really inspired by the man from u.n.c.l.e. A james bond pen would dispense acid, and have a built in laser, super electromagnet and rocket launcher.
Will it encourage more people to go to concerts? No. Will they be able to charge people more? No, because the vast majority of concert goers won't have wifi enabled ipods with them, and will resent paying for a service they can't use. Will they be able to bill ipod owners seperately? No, the logistics involved will make it unfeasible. And what if the system doesn't work as advertised? Will they lose the opportunity to sell a live CD later? Yes.
This is an old idea - it's called bootlegging, and with a few notable exceptions, almost all record labels oppose it. Think about it - this idea would be much cheaper and easier to implement if they just offered to send you a CD later and took $5 and a postal address at the T-shirt stall. Plus, they would get revenue from all the non-ipod owners as well, and could fix the parts where the vocalist sings out of tune.

Let me be the first to say RTFM :O)

Isn't that why BeOS went out of business in the first place?
Cost of the X37 -- $173 million.
Maximum speed of spaceship one - mach 3.5
Maximum speed of X37 - mach 25
Nice try Steve, but we're not buying it.
You're too late - somebody's already downloaded it
Given the requirement for an infinitely long tape, I suspect the answer to this question might be no.
But instead, you'd be dependant on foreign turkey supplies.

Historically, Linux has survived just fine with neither.

While I'm waiting for the corn to pop, I like to amuse myself by making plasma storms.
Hang a few up, coil a few around it's cat box.
Exactly. If these cables are connected to a high tension power supply, your cat will soon learn to stop chewing cables.

So who's the idiot?
If you can't accept criticism, maybe you should leave business ideas to the grownups.
