The proxy access at college where I started out once blacklisted all sites with an "m" in them. It took only a couple of hours to resolve it, but the number of embarrassed faces was amusing. (Proxy used to bring up a big red banned site warning with an alarm wav...)
The red team you speak of are commonly the end-users.
Depending upon standards is tricky. Especially where the "standard" is created before its niche use has been identified. You could spend hundreds of man hours in a focus group hammering out a standard, and then have the users do something completely different, which just makes a mockery of your standards.
Recently, we have all been pushing for IE to become "standards compliant", but my understanding of a "standard" is one that everybody uses, in this case, the IE renderer is the standard - hence so many websites look like shit in FF.
I have no problems with ANYBODY downloading and running and installing ANYTHING using the GPL license. I do however have a problem if that code is modified and a derivative is sent out whilst obscuring the GPL.
I have no problems with ANYBODY downloading and playing and listening to ANYTHING using the Sony license. I do however have a problem if that song is modified and a derivative is sent out whilst obscuring the Sony license (making money for the criminal for instance).
Copyright is a level, the GPL is flexible enough to protect us AND allow copying and sharing.
The hardware manufacturer running a fixed set of code for their application on a custom fixed motherboard may be able to accept 50% of the chips that Intel classify as good for general use.
For instance, the chip may have a problem with its FPU unit, but the end use application does not use floating point at all.
I doubt these chips could end up in the motherboards of our general purpose PCs, but I do see a future for them elsewhere.
If you convert the Linux kernel to audio tones and play them to yourself over and over during the night, the very next day, everywhere you doodle, you will keep drawing penguins.
A true geek will product several different versions of spaghetti until he finds the correct object model. He will then release it under an Open Chef license and allow other geeks to build in his hard work:)
Notice how people have stopped moaning about the problems with Windows 95?
Same reason.
In a similar way that when nVidia have been slated for their 5x00 range of cards, but the fuss is dying out now. People used to bitch and complain about Windows blue screens, but that joke is old now, and the remaining windows 9x boxes can't be crashing that much to still be usable. My windows 98 hardly ever crashed, but thats because I took care of it and made sure I didn't install crap. The ones that go down often are either badly built, or poorly used.
Continuous development occurs all over the computer industry. We have no qualms about purchasing the newest greatest graphics card or processor. Merely "programs" written in binary and tweaked and modified to get a bit faster, or a bit more. Not many complaints come because you can't buy the older slower models.
Its fairly easy to see where the figures come from - only recently I picked up my old laptop and fired into Windows 95. At this point in time, its probably pretty safe to run without a virus checker, and its responsive on the hardware it was designed for. The laptop would balk at windows 2000, let alone XP.
Many people purchase the operating system with the computer, and expect the latest and greatest, most secure they can get OS, and lots of those same people will still be using Windows XP in 5 years time or more. People are compelled to change by an inability to do something (or perception of), Windows works for them, why bother changing?
There is no gun being held to anybodies head to upgrade. Focus shifts onto the newest OS like in the graphics card example, people still have and use old graphics cards, yet nobody bats an eyelid.
Staggered delivery. Its like the dvd region encoding. Can't have everyone in the same place, very few could cope with a slashdotting and a good old farking at the same time. Strangely enough, slashdot is getting more like regular TV, its not just the bland advertisements though, its the amount of repeats thats on;)
One machine can be infected by multiple trojans. One machine can reconnect to the same botnet multiple times as the person reboots to try and clear the problem. One machine gets multiple IP addresses every time her reboots.

Digital rights management is about controlling the data on your machine and deciding who has the rights to run it.
That data can be images, movies, mp3s or executable code...
hack the source and replace a film with a horrific piece of fanfiction
Isn't that normally an improvement over the original?
Somebody should remake Gigli and actually make it a good movie.
I'm talking about our very local slashdot as a prime example.
It renders perfectly on IE and other browsers which bend the rules slightly.
That tells me that the webmasters in charge have adapted a new standard, and that "standards compliance" isn't all its cracked up to be.

Slash reported on curing a person with type 1 diabetes recently.

Hopefully, the process can be extended and given as an option to all sufferers.
Even with headphones on, when somebody jumps out and frags you, your screams and shouts about the abuse with a plasma rifle are sure to cause a stir.
Interesting?
omg, you slashdot mods are smoking something - it was humour not reality.
Move your hands away from the mod controls and step out of the vehicle.
Step 11 on the traceroute was really interesting.

why does it end up redirecting to MS?
Should I be wearing my tinfoil hat for this one?
of course, I meant "Intel don't classify as good"...

He would if he could.
He would also burn all original copies and produce a weekly remake.
No, with XP starter, you are restricted to running only 3 trojans at once.
They want Orkut all to themselelves.
;)
Linux now includes an Orkut kill switch. But since its Open Source, its a-ok

Try this on for size.

Its the video game of your favorite star wars lego figures. (Windows only I think at present)
Its kept my eldest entertained for a while
Slash mentioned it earlier on today here
here is a working mirror.
And theres also a zip available for your local running pleasure here
Plenty of people supplied mirrors and online copies inside the comments of the article.
What happens when they open Googledot.org ;)
One machine can be infected by multiple trojans.
One machine can reconnect to the same botnet multiple times as the person reboots to try and clear the problem.
One machine gets multiple IP addresses every time her reboots.
