Weird for the article to forget that in the 1970s, terrorists weren't the threat they are now. They were obviously talking about the Soviets, and maybe China and some of the Arab nations.
XP doesn't claim that these are original ideas. It is a collection of what could be called "best practices". It then takes those practices to extremes. Thus the name.
That's not true. Steam is required to play, but it is not necessary for Steam to connect to the network. If you buy the disk, it installs Steam and installs HL2 into Steams cache. That means that Steam doesn't need to download it. Presummably, Steam also includes the means to validate CD-keys.
Valve has already stated that a network connection is not required to play HL2.
No, I wouldn't have. I'm not a zeolot and I understand the need for honest self-evaluation.
I'm not saying their report is invalid. I'm saying that it appears they have a tendency to be media-whores. I would have posted the same even if they had a pro-linux report.
I thought about this a bit, and I have to agree that this would be the logical conclusion of libertarian views. After all, you certainly didn't have to agree to work at a place that wanted to strip-search you daily. If it was clearly stated then you agreed beforehand. If it wasn't clearly stated then you could quit your job and leave.
Why applescript? That's because mac applications can include "dictionaries" of commands that applescript can use. Try scripting photoshop and filemaker in python or some other language.
That's applescript's true power really. If it was just used as a standalone language without outside application support, it would be fairly weak.
Well, that's BASIC for you. It doesn't have very good library support. As far as I know, it didn't have any library support if it wasn't built into the interpretor.
I saw a bunch of GOSUB statements in there. Wimp! We don't need no stinkin' pseudo-functions! At least he didn't use RealBasic, which is more on the level of Pascal nowadays.
You can release the source of your program under the GPL. If someone modifies your source, compiles it, it won't be an approved binary and won't run. This is not affected by the GPL. The GPL doesn't require the distributor to promise that modifications are runnable.
It seems more likely to me that AOL would get complaints from its users that they can't view a site. This would lead AOL to either make Mozilla better, or to switch to IE by default.
Exactly. You shouldn't be to have a wide open mail server, and then elect when to sue people because you didn't like the contents of their non-commercial email.
That would let people set up mail servers as traps. As soon as you get your victim to send an email to the server, you could sue them for electronic trespass.
Luckily, this court ruling doesn't allow for that.
Generally speaking, linux-2.4.x hasn't been very friendly to lowlatency needs. There are patches that give it these qualities though. The lowlatency patch from Andrew Morton and the preemptible kernel patch from that other guy.
I've heard that 2.6.x will be much more audio friendly out of the box (so to speak).
The reason he asks is because he ticked off Madonna when he parodied "Like A Virgin" without asking. It was legal, but now he asks because it's the polite thing to do.

Thank you for proving that language doesn't evolve!

Any information that comes out of mi2g is suspect. They have been heavily criticized by Rob Rosenburger of Vmyths, a computer security hysteria site.
This is unfortuantely offtopic.

Right you are. I was thinking of GraphicConverter, which exports a large amount of functionality to AppleScript.

Don't believe any of that bunk. All those arguements are completely debunked here.
I got all of that except for the "Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!" part. What's that from?
My interpretation is shared by Linus. He's not a lawyer either though.

Well frankly, I'm not so eager to lose rights just to fight spam. I'm happy with this court's decision.
I would say this was a victory for everyone except IBM.
No, the ruling said that you can *not* sue emailers for electronic trespass.

I know that guy. It happened. I wasn't there, but I was friends with his ex-girlfriend. He barely survived. It was crazy.
JustIsaDangerousWord is a relevant page too. Maybe more so.
Ward Cunningham's Wiki on Patterns has an interesting page on the attitude of referring to details as *just* details.
Very often, the person saying "Oh you just did it this way" has some more learning to do.
Ha ha ha. Brilliant! Your humor seems to have eluded others though.
