I never meant it was unfortunate we had freedoms. I meant it was unfortunate that his POV couldn't be applied.
I was trying to be diplomatic to him since he didn't seem to understand that free software meant free usage - for good or bad.
I do not believe I have backtracked upon what I said - that freedoms are important and if the freedom to say something is there, then I also have the freedom to complain - but I would not stop anybody from speaking, nor do I have to listen to what they say. You have (by my own ramblings most likely) simply misinterpreted my meaning, for that I apologise.
I happen to agree with the original poster in his war use stance however there is nothing which can be done without losing the very important freedom.
It is unfortunate that questions such as these should even come up. As a modern global society, the world would be a better place without hatred and war.
I may not like what people have to say and I can be openly critical to their subject matter, but I will defend your right to say whatever they have to.
Just because people are free to speak does not mean I or anyone else has to listen.

Unfortunately you cannot have free software if you place arbitary restrictions upon who can use it or what it can be used for. Its an embedded Operating system for use in a monitor and control system - not unlike the automatic cars we just cheered on around the desert or the bots on mars, just because it may have several tonnes of high explosives taped to its back doesn't make it any different.
This only puts the new xml schema in the running, I still haven't seen a viable solution to their legacy files.
All existing documents are still locked away in binary hell. Are they assuming that every single document is to remain locked in forever, or that every single one needs to be uplifted to xml (nitemare to manage?)
Flashblock doesn't actually stop flash, its the same as all the other extensions. They occur AFTER the page is loaded.
Have you even noticed that the page loads and sometimes a flash of the first frame of flash is loaded before its replaced by the flash nobble?
I uninstalled flash because of this little niceness. In IE on Windows, I could do the same with a quick simple reg fix (on or off by a double click when needed - it just modified the killbits on the activex).
In FF its a bit more complicated, its either on or its off.
I would like to see a generic ObjectBlock code implimented within firefox itself which will block *any* content right at the core. It should only actively create the documeent after you click it (or whitelist the site/content type)
Ask Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. I get the idea that Steve Jobs might have something to say about it as well.
To me, the idea that an outside signal can be manipulated and sent in just the right way to overflow our validation network is akin to shakespeare and monkeys.
However - I can see somebody managing to send dirty packets down to the clients after hacking the SETI central computers (somehow, lots of hand waving etc) to put bad data there which could exploit a seemingly trivial problem with the seti client.
Apart from the obvious slashdot also has this technology in place: Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
I thought kazaa was long dead and buried and reduced to nothingness.
I know noone who uses it anymore, its all BT and eDonkey type stuff.
Another obvious thought here, could I supply my own list of copyrighted files and make sure they aren't searchable, my company has copyrighted files which should be protectable, wheres the web interface to do it?
Or is this another anal raping by the music industry just to get their own way?
I was thinking the same thing (hoping for hot interns), then got worried upon seeing the link for the "Put this story in perspective with this unique visual tool (full screen). Learn more" thingie and wondered how many fat arses would be seen:(

They have a tiny oven which can: While other miniature PCR devices exist, they are limited in the rate at which they can change temperature, Grover said. "Our first prototype has demonstrated that we can expose the sample to the required temperatures at unprecedented rates," he said.
Now, lets look at just whats needed to do the PCR reaction (just one of the variations taken from here:
If you are using DNA Thermal Cycler (TCI, the DNA Thermal Cycler Model 4800 or any thermal cycler requiring light mineral oil overlay.
* Place the tubes in the thermal cycler and begin thermal cycling as follows:
* For the first cylce only, ramp to 96 C for 1-5 minutes to completely denature DNA template then proceed with sequencing PCR steps.
* Rapid thermal ramp to 96C
* 96C for 30 seconds
* Rapid thermal ramp to 50C
* 50C for 15 seconds
* Rapid thermal ramp to 60C
* 60C for 4 minutes
* Repeat Step 2 for 25 cycles
* Rapid thermal ramp to 4C and hold. Samples can be started in the evening and purified the next day if necessary
* Proceed with Purifying Extension Products.
They might be able to change temperature quicker, but they haven't invented a new way to perform the reaction.
This is exactly why I am sceptical of their overblown claims. If they knew where these people were for the entire journey they sure as hell wouldn't have tracked them for that distance.
Maybe *after the fact* checking the cameras and plugging the license into multiple systems identified the endpoint location, but I find it really difficult to believe they actively monitored them.

Perhaps showing that we know too much about MS access wasn't the best thing around here, kinda like wearing an Arsenal scarf around Manchester.

No, you have made a mistake.
There is no particular law which says "You cannot kill somebody with a hammer".
The weapon of choice could be anything from a hammer to a feather to a piano, the act of killing with intent is the illegal part.
If the law specified each illegal weapon we would be up shit street.

Where are the specs for those older files?
Now that you have explained that to him, have you altered his future?

Not aliens though.

Take a look at any microchip, even the little tiny ICs.
They all have a much lower tolerance to faults and most sell for fractions of a pence.
