This definitely voids your warranty, not to mention probably breaking environmental and other regulations, if you do it to street machines.
I'll agree with the latter, but not the former. Unless the dealership/manufacturer can prove that the alterations made on the car are directly related to the part being warrantied, then your warranty is still valid.
For example - if your power windows stop working while the car is under warranty, you have every right to demand that they be fixed.

Having owned a car with this capability in the past, I can provide some insight. The chip supplier installs 2 or more "programs" that you can switch between (stock, chipped, valet, and race gas are some of the more common programs). To switch between programs you hold down your cruise control and after a few second a light will flash on your dash X number of times letting you know which program you're switching to.
In short, your cruise control works just fine with the switchable programs.
I *still* see job postings requesting 10 years of Java experience... I tried to do the headhunters a favor by informing them that Java has not been around for 10 years... I didn't get a thank you back for some reason.
Someone seriously needs to mod this one up (or mod the original down, as it's extremely dumb and pointless). He's right, the original poster obviously didn't read the Tom's Hardware article about the CD writer that can create pictures on the bottom of the CD (well, only where no data is written.. making the feature virtually useless).
I'd assume that these two (and I don't know) are known for the development of GNOME itself (making them a GNOME hacker) rather than for the development of GNOME-based applications.
If you're saying that they should have been referred to as simply "programmers" (not GNOME or otherwise), then I think it's worth noting that they (presumably) have helped develop GNOME itself rather than just being two random developers taking over Nautilus.
Uh.. it's the same gadget, but this is actually Rob (CmdrTaco) reviewing it not a link to someone else's review of the unit. That's why it's listed as a "Feature" rather than a normal news article (which typically has a link that is being referenced).
Her prescence forces the MIB agency (headed by Sid, played by Rip Torn) to go and de-neuralize Kay, who comes back to re-join his buddy and save the world.
Rip Torn's character (like all MIB agents) is named after a letter in the alphabet - "Zed", not "Sid" (that's how the English refer to the letter "Z")
It's not new for companies to have their own search engines. I've had some experience with setting up Excite search engines on web sites. The only thing new here is that it's Google's search engine that's now being sold to corporations.
As far as I know, the Excite search engine was free. It probably wasn't nearly as good as Google's, and Excite may have had a better non-free engine.
So.. if a company lobbies against this law, wouldn't that open them up to criticizm? I mean, it'd essentially be like them saying "we don't want to be responsible for our insecure software."
Any language that is incapable of compiling itself is obviously incomplete in some fundamental way.
You might want to be a little more specific here for those who don't know the difference between interpreted and compiled languages. Interpreted languages (Java, Perl, Python, etc.) won't compile themselves. Before all the Java programmers jump all over me.. yes, Java is "compiled", but the output is not a machine-code executable, it's bytecode that is interpeted by the JVM.
An interesting thought - In theory the Java compiler could be implemented using a JVM and a "Compiler" bytecode...
