How about socks? Am I allowed to wear socks? Or do they violate someone's intellectual property rights?
I'm surprised that Caldera doesn't buy fruit of the loom stock and try to sue all of us Haines wearers for infringement.
How about monitors? Are we allowed to use those? I could stand a switch to TTY, but I don't think PORN sells very well that way... Could spell disaster for the global economy!

Jesus man. That would only evolve resistant mosquitoes to human blood. We're probably more likely to be bitten than they are to get pesticided. You're right about the never ending battle part though.

This could be a direct side-effect of overuse of a pesticide.
It means that the superbugs, which are harder to kill now, can still pass on the regular bugs to us. We just have to find a new way to kill them.
This is the kind of thing that is feared will happen as doctors continue to over-prescribe anti-biotics. The anti-biotics will expose small numbers bacteria in people (though not necessarily enough to cause a disease) to a selective factor: either they die, or they don't. If they don't that means they are resistant by some sort of mutation, and will pass this resistence on to any sort of offspring they produce. Someday, when one of these resistant bacteria infect a receptive host, and someone does get sick, the normal anti-biotics we use to treat them won't work. And the deadly cycle continues.
People didn't actually cause this problem, rather, they accelerate it by introducing the selective factor (the pesticide in this case) where it otherwise wouldn't have been.
It's kind of a catch 22, you use pesticides to prevent disease by killing bugs. At the same time, you may be encouraging a superbug to emerge.
Doctors give people pills to shut them up. For example, if you have a cold, you may wind up with a script for amoxil, even though it doesn't affect the virus causing your symptoms. You may have a small amount of strep lurking in your system that's not enough to get you sick, but can still be transmitted. Maybe one of those (or god forbid more than one) are resistant. The amoxil kills all the normal bacteria, and you're left with only a resistant strain. You can still pass them on and get someone else sick, even though you didn't get sick yourself. They will now go to the same doctor, and get a useless script for amoxil, etc... Sorry if I'm insulting your intelligence.
Farmers spray their crops because they think they are being preventative.
I don't think that people should stop using pesticides, but only in the event that bugs are a problem. Using deadly poison 'just in case' only invites trouble sooner than later.
So the next time you're upset that the doctor doesn't give you anti-biotics for your cold symptoms, remember, the life they save may be your grandchild['s|rens'].
This is about as in depth as I go with the religious aspect of it. I think any religious undertones are meant solely to confuse those who think that they are on the 'inside track' when it comes to finding 'truth' and 'the word of god' working in 'mysterious ways.' come on people, any similarity to events or characters real or ficitional is purely to suck the money out of your wallet. I'm sure it's intentional, and there is no official reference to any particular religion because that way, you might be dumb enough to think that they are talking about YOUR religion, and that finally someone in hollywood is doing the 'right thing' for good reasons other than money. Get real.
The ability to have separate sessions has been a feature of unix/linux for years. It wasn't present in windows (for home users) until XP, but it's only the logical next step in OS X. You can run as many sessions as you want on a Terminal Services (which was actually a re-packaged version of citrix metaframe -- even the terminal services manager is exactly like the old citrix server manager, right down to the icons AND menus) windows 2000 or NT TSE box. Nothing new, neither one invented it. I don't see any room for name calling at all on that issue.
I guess speeding wasn't exactly a good example, but then again, I guess that's what the point of this article was. I'm no lawyer, so I guess maybe in this light, ignorance could be an excuse for breaking the law. (?) That doesn't sound right, but I don't have all the answers, nor do I claim to.
Since when does ignorance of the law make you any less guilty of offending it? If I don't know the speed limit, and I speed, I still get a ticket. If I don't know I'm not allowed by campus policy to use a university student's machine as a spam proxy, and I do it, I should likewise be punished for it.
Another thing, how are these people getting away with storing data on machines and downloading secret documents because they 'aren't depriving the owners of their use' If I download software, leaving it intact on the server, I may have deprived the owner of a trade secret (I thought that for sure a lawyer would have seen that one!) Also, accessing private data, even though it's only to satisfy my curiosity could be construed as 'depriving the owner of sole ownership' which may or may not be critical. You don't need a new law to tell you that.
Conversly, even using some clock cycles 'deprives' someone of something. (even one or two) So a port scan could also be considered theft. (Not saying that I agree with that, but that's the way it looks to me) If I'm wasting clock cycles responding to port queries, or ICMP traffic, that's a DOS attack, plain and simple. I could be using my processor for better things. This was easier to see when all we had were 56 k modems all over the place.
This all reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld in which a telemarketer calls Jerry during dinner.
Jerry: Well actually I'm kinda busy right now, why don't you give me your home telephone number, and I'll call you back.
Telemarketer: We're not allowed to give out our home numbers.
Jerry: Why not?
Telemarketer: We don't want people calling us at home.
Jerry: [hanging up the phone] Exactly!
Now that's poetic.
Linux isn't dying. Just don't pirate. Damnit. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Pay for your media like everyone used to do. People using file sharing and ripping off software are ruining it for ALL of us. Including us linux users.
I would think, again, only think, not claim to know, that since mars is so small, any sort of 'terra-forming' that we might be able to do would be in a bubble. Closed colonies may be possible with the existence of water, etc, but just running up and down the martian landscape next to wild horses and all that may be science fiction. I like to see the math too though.
I don't think that makes him a liar. I think that illustrates the point that his radio was only listening on one frequency, and interpreting all signals on that frequency as sound. This kind of 'interference' is what TFA said is on the receiver side. It's not discerning between the signals coming from the air, and signals coming from the computer, thus you get the drum sounds. It's taking advantage of the 'dumb receiver' again as per TFA. Kids these days. I wouldn't be so quick to look down on people. Date much in high school?
so, I'm a geek, I guess, I write code and, automate things, work out networks etc, but does it make me more geeky or less of a geek if I have no idea what duke nukem is?

please post a reply, I'd like to see how it works cause I want to get this myself. I won't allow windows in my house, if I can help it.

Those are all things that would be last on the list. First you need some way to live on mars, let alone setting up a neighborhood watch program.
