it's basically saying "Go ahead and break into wireless networks, because if they're not completely secure, it's not your fault."
Well, no, no it's not saying that. If you read the article, or the article review for that matter, it says that people can access a network if they reasonably believe that it was intended to be open. If it is intended not to be open, it is still illegal to access it, regardless of how poorly closed it is. If some schmuck sets up a wireless network requiring a login and the password is "password" or "12345" or something like that, it is still intended to be closed, and thus off limits, in spite of the fact that it is pathetically protected.
You shouldn't be able to patent anything that has no mass. Think about it.
No!!!! I'll never be able to get rich off of the mass-less aircraft I'm working on! You'll ruin me! I'm so shocked I can't even come up with any more knee-jerk responses!
In all seriousness, though, that's a very, very good guideline for those who can't seem to grasp the whole concept versus invention thing. Like lawyers and patent clerks for example.
How about Uncertainty? The compiler will have to be kept hidden somewhere lest you watch the compile and screw up the resulting code.

No, you've got it backwards. In Soviet Russia, the binaries distribute the central planning comittee, and there would be closed source, proprietary DRM.
Just go
here and sign up (you're limited to one comic per email address, but you can get Calvin and Hobbes, in addition many current strips). It's not on the week-in-two-days schedule, but it is cycling through the comics.
For years and years and years, the recording industry has been against audience-recorded concert bootlegs, claiming that (among other things) the poor recording quality of a microphone stuffed down some guy's shorts would make people think the band was bad and discourage sales. Now they deliberately distribute poor quality recordings in order to encourage sales.
Will somebody wake me up when the world makes sense?
Both the computer and the human can recognize "moon/parma", but intelligence comes into play when the human starts thinking of Drew Carey and humming the theme music. Intelligence is not just collecting information, it is doing something useful with that information.
You mean like thinking of Drew Carey and humming theme music?

Hey now, that's offensive to fish! Why not call it something nice and neutral like "_____".
Doh! That'd offend vertical lines. How about using a generic symbol, and we could just call it, "The Film Formerly Known as The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers".
Yeah I'd like it to load in less than a week and use less that 128Mb to view 'HelloWorld.html'.
Oh come now, if you had a better, faster computer, you could load Mozilla in five and a half days easy, and HelloWorld.html will easily display with around 112Mb as long as you don't use any markup on it.

It's good that a stodgy old company like IBM has enlightened itself enough to let its executives come out in the spotlight, but it still seems a little unfair that they probably don't throw a party to embrace every employee's sexuality.

I just moved to a new high school and was wondering what the best way to ensure I get beat up on a daily basis was.
Start a computer club! Or even better, go the D&D route!

This gives me renewed hope for my latest project, a hyperdrive engine built of old Spaghetti-Os cans and dental floss.
Let me know how that goes for you. I gave up after my dental floss repeatedly broke when the ship started to approach relativistic speeds.

Hey, wait a minute...
Can you turn off the bloat too? eg. Make it perform more like 2000 as well?
No... That would be an improvement, and this is a new Microsoft product.
Red Hat, is that a brand of condoms?
Well, sort of. If you use it, it will significantly reduce the chance of you getting anyone pregnant.

Now, do this with Calivn and Hobbes!
Done!

That's right! A complete study would probably have shown that first number to be much higher than 99%.
Heck, we're 3 for 3 so far

What is this "on-topic post" you speak about?
So many new ideas for me to understand at once...
And if we observe the game, won't that have an affect the result?
People, is it really that hard to count syllables?
One... Two... Five! No, Three! Ack, now it's five! Aaarrrgggh!
Yes, yes it is.

Ok, did anyone else just about crap their pants when they read the Mozillazine headline:
