I think that you are reading way too much into the situation.
Have you considered the possibility that the/. editors are sick of seeing MS vulnerabilities appear in the submission list? Or they believe that adding YAMV (Yet Another Microsoft Vulnerability) to the main story page will not add much value to the site. The only thing it would add is old MS bashing will be repeated yet again.
On the other hand, I could be wrong and MS could own OSDN wholly, the shares are cheap enough...
Is this where we can safely say that the concept of the community contributing to an OSS project has bitten OSS on the arse? j/k
Seriously, your solution to the problem makes the source closed to the world and only open to input from 'trusted' people. Managing the list of trusted people would be a huge job on a large project where a million code monkeys are contributing.
If you want to restrict contributions to people you really trust then don't put your CVS repository on a public server. Simple really...
A brain-computer interface for the muscularly disabled, this can only lead to bad bad things in the long term, especially with Intel owning the technology. At first it will allow disabled people to do stuff, then when disabled people are forced to contribute to society more they will be programmed to do more...
Don't the Borg use a brain-computer interface to network their people together to become one?
Ummm... regarding your non purchase of a portable MP3 player or car stereo, why don't you go to a place where they sell these products and take a few mp3s with you and try them out? Seems like an obvious solution to me...
I had a Commodore 64 for years before I even saw a NES, played Great Giana Sisters heaps. It wasn't until I played Super Mario Bros. on the NES that I realised it was a total copy job with the exception of some sprites.
So, one could argue that it was only a quarter of a life that was taken.
But 1^2 = 1, so taking half a life would still be half, not a quarter. It would be a quarter if you squared the half a life after you killed it, but then the life doesn't have a value so you haven't even taken a life. Therefore, no murder charge.

I am only happy to hear that goat.cx still exists. I prefer not to look at it. But for some people it makes them happy :)
When the Answertron 2000 gets its way, there will be no need to worry about glare...
Hi there Avril!
How is your sk8ter boi?
You are correct that there is 8 bits to a byte, but the parent is correct in saying that it should have been 'bits/sec = bytes/sec * 8'
Think about it...

Quiet! The world of the tinfoil hat brigade may come crashing down if you keep talking like that...

Maybe they just like Custard Tarts?
I thought Hindus weren't allowed to eat beef?

Sorry
Milk and lemon, think of all the cool curdling that would go on!

Unless it is tagged with ID3v2.4 whewre it could be at the end of the file...
Ok, I'll bite...

'Great Giana Sisters' anyone?

What is stopping Ian Clarke from forking the project and running with it himself?
If it really is his project then he should have no problems doing this.
Who gives a rats about a compass, there will be no magnetic field for them to work.
We can always use the sun or other stars (Southern Cross in the southern hemisphere) to find where north is.
Thanks to Weird Al for that one...
Call the movie by its real name of 'Mad Max' please.
You might as well buy a Honda Civic Hybrid. It'd be much cheaper and have a lot more room.
Using that brilliant logic, the next time you want to go overseas, forget taking a 747, jump on a yacht and sail there.
Even though it may take longer, it is more efficient.
Hellyeah! is one word when said correctly...
The problem with SCO is that the glove actually fits...

That German Bratwurst can give you the worst gas...
Isn't murder the act of taking one's life and not returning it? That is theft in my book :)
