Why in blazes should people who don't have kids, or who responsibly make arrangements for them to be cared for (such as *gasp* having Mom stay home and actually raise them), have to pay in the form of a lower salary for yours?
And a reduction in this silly benefit that you shouldn't have in the first place is age discrimination against you?
I basically agree with you, however this does raise the question of length of copyright terms. If the original 14-year term (IIRC) were in effect, those games would now belong to all of us, and this fellow could sell his consoles without being accused of stealing somebody else's work.
So the discussion about this situation should at least include a debate on whether these games should still be under copyright at all.
What's the advantage over just installing Firefox? Do people who don't have permission to install software have permission to install plugins like this?
I would snap up a 790GX-based board in no time flat for HTPC / big-screen gaming purposes, but it doesn't support more than 2-channel LPCM over the HDMI port!!
I usually let calls from unknown numbers leave a message, and that doesn't give me much chance to push that 9 button. I'll hear from them over and over.
The department name is actually quite insightful, because it brings up the point that numbers like this don't consider the PCs that weren't bought in the first place because of Vista.
You've proven the case for multimedia on the Web. Not Flash.
Think of the level of citizen journalism, all the articles and ideas, that Microsoft Word has enabled. Therefore, we should all store and distribute.doc files instead of an open standard.
Flash (and Silverlight, et al) are a threat to the Internet generally. I wouldn't run Flash even if they bothered to create a version that runs on my OS (64-bit Linux).
The difference between sprinting and distance is certainly respected in the default settings. It's treated like running, where the shortest and longest distances get the most points.
Where swimming gives in to useless medal inflation is in the different strokes. We don't have track events where everybody has to run sideways, or backwards, or upside-down. A runner is welcome to do that, if he can, and if it's faster he'll win.
That's how swimming should be: they should be able to use any stroke they like. We just want to see who's fastest. What's the point of forcing the use of a slow stroke and then measuring speed?
Digital TV doesn't need encoding. It can just write the bits that fly in from the antenna to the hard drive. It can recompress into another format if you like, but that needn't be done in real time.
Why pay for TV? With the switch to digital, over-the-air TV is now probably higher quality than cable. Combine MythTV with one or two of these and you're all set.
The FCC has to certify software? That seem strange to anybody? Isn't regulation of the power and frequency enough, and everything else is between the carrier and the phone?

That Firefox saves the nasty warnings for Web sites that are encrypted!

Usually when government bans things like this, it exempts itself from the ban. For example, does this at all affect prerecorded political calls?
Morgan Freeman? Is that you?
Let me get this straight... It's not a truck?
Between tunnel brokers and 6to4, really all of us who manage servers should have them on IPv6 in addition to IPv4. What's the downside to being ready?

The more of use that don't use Flash, the better.
