But more importantly, you CANNOT just sit in a parking lot and use Wi-fi without deciding to ACTIVELY log on to the access point. While you may have a right to sit in the parking lot and use your computer, you are actively deciding to use someone else's resources when you log on, and doing so certainly is not unavoidable while using your laptop in that parking lot. I'm running Fedora 6 with NetworkManager, and my laptop automatically connects to any open wi-fi point. In my case I'm using a VPN over a university run wireless net which requires a login, but the original connection (and getting a dhcp address) happens without any intervention.
QEMU still emulates only an x86 PC, not other architectures. Qemu can emulate other architectures too, it's just not as fast as when running as a virtual machine on x86 cpus.
Thanks to Slashdot/BBV for the links to free software! Please provide links to Photoshop, Office, and HalfLife while you are at it. Really, what is the difference?
The public interest? Deficiencies in the voting process should be of intesrest to everyone- BBV presumably feel its of sufficient interest to justify breaking the law (I am of course assuming they haven't received it legitamately). If you take it a step further and believe that voting machines have been rigged, you potentially also have the defence of investigating/preventing a crime.
I spent many late nights in computer labs or study halls working with other students in an attempt to understand the material. Often times this means working homework problems together. Sometimes I'd do the problem independently and then share the results with others, other times I'd make little or no progress and have someone explain it to me. It wasn't about copying answers, it was about understanding the methodology.
I studied engineering, and we were positively encouraged by our tutors to work together on homework problems. The ability to communicate and work in a team is one of the most important skills in engineering (and probably most businesses). However, most of these did not count towards the final grade, so there was no point in cheating as you'd only put yourself at a disadvantage when it came to exams.
Does the water department have to cover the cost of the missing rings? No. Then why must financial institutions?
The water dept has no involvement whatsoever with the scam. Financial institutions do have a direct involvement as they're the ones who give your money to the fraudsters.
The thing that annoys me most about GMail is that there's no easy/obvious way to find everything in the inbox but untagged. In a normal mail client I'd have most of my emails coming straight into the inbox folder, and I'd skim though them, moving some into other folders, and leaving others in the inbox to come back to. AFAIK there's no easy way to work like this in GMail- instead of just clicking a folder you'd have to type in some search terms to find everything in inbox without a tag. Tags are a nice idea, but since nearly all other email clients use a hierarchical folder system this is what most people are used to.
But don't you think that makes the complaint of "we aren't making enough from online sales" kind of silly? Maybe that's true because you're denying people what they want.
What's wrong with wanting to both maintain artistic integrity and not be exploited by the record companies?
Just what I want to hear from my doctor: this isn't the best, but it's cheap!
Sadly, in practice there is only a limited amount of money to go around. A hospital may not be able to afford a top-of-the-range system, in which case they can choose between going for a cheap option or depriving people of other treatments. Anyway, it seems to me the ipod angle has only been mentioned because it's less techy/ something most people can relate to, whereas the more signifcant issue of a fully featured medical image viewer being open-source is ignored.

Independence might be better attained by putting the BBC in a position where its day-to-day workings aren't so pressured by the government or regulators. If editors are under the constant fear that giving time to a controversial viewpoint, or breaking an important news story without having 100% of the facts could lead to further loss of the BBC's funding, they're much more likely to remain conservative and follow the Government's line.
Obviously there needs to be some guidance on its role, and bearing in mind it is publically funded some of the suggestions in the review that it should concentrate more on high quality content and not following commercial broadcasters ('dumbing down') in order to increase ratings are laudable. However, if the BBC does take this route, my guess is that a future Government will say ratings have dropped, therefore it's less value for money.
The Mydoom e-mail worm has paralysed the website of US software firm SCO, in a massive denial of service attack. The company - which owns the Unix operating system - said the virus was "overwhelming the internet with requests to www.sco.com".

Here's a Google translation of the Die Spiegel article about this. Original article for German speakers is here.

Then again, it looks like the clueless reporters have reclaimed their place ...
