Actually, you have to have some reason to believe the property was stolen; Amazon is highly reputable, and if they suddenly started pushing stolen books as new merchandise, it's not your problem unless you find out that they're stolen. From USlegalforms.com:
The offense of property possession of stolen property is made up of two parts. First, a person charged with this offense must have property that was (or was partly) gained by theft, fraud, or any other crime. Second, the person must have known that the property was stolen or gained by fraud. Also, if the prosecutor can show that it was obvious that a reasonable person would have thought the property was stolen and the accused failed to investigate whether it was stolen or not, he or she can be found guilty of possession of stolen property.
A person who is innocently is possession of stolen goods will not be guilty of a crime, but generally, the goods will be returned to the owner.
It's probably worth pointing out that you still shouldn't look through the eyepiece while pointing it at the sun. I imagine that the above procedure could do nasty things to your retina.
Couldn't you just install a third-party VNC implementation instead of using Remote Desktop for the client or the server or both, depending on the policies at your workplace?
How would they ever know? For example, it is fully within the normal privileges granted by the library system in my area to check out as much material as I want, as often as I want, and to place transit holds in order to obtain material from other libraries. I enjoy having an ever-changing variety of music in my car to break up the monotony of the daily drive, and I get the added benefit of a lack of commercials. No one would ever know if I burned copies of all the CDs that pass through my hands as long as I didn't try to sell them.
What are you trying to imply? The supply of nontangibles can't run out, and there is clearly free content available. How can there be "nothing left to be free"?
I was always under the impression that it would go to 3.x when it broke binary compatibility with 2.x, i.e. major version number indicates binary compatibility as in a "Linux 2 binary" or "Linux 3 binary".
I Am Not A Citizen (Subject?) of the United Kingdom, but I just had my Comparative Government examination on the country, and I was under the impression that the House of Lords only had the power to slow legislation, not to stop it. Furthermore, the Magna Carta is NOT the British constitution; they have no constitution. Instead, there exists a set of traditions and past precedents.
Additionally, MPs are required to support their parties on all (most?) important votes, and the cabinet members are expected to either publically support the prime minister's agenda or resign.
What's wrong with U of M students? I am a senior in high school and (unfortunately) leaning toward U of M due to financial concerns (I got 8 grand a year out of the College of Engineering). I don't feel too good about the university in general just because everyone goes there, but I can't point to any specific reasons.
I don't know...I think that if I had used Napster, I would've been aghast that my free music pipe had suddenly been torn away from me, and would have groped wildly about in search of an alternative.

Just a minor point: the costs associated with Linux are RE-training costs; i.e. you've spent money training your employees on Windows already. Once everyone uses Linux anyway (wink wink), those costs will disappear.
Well, I was just going by the wording Stephenson used. From a search on Amazon.com:
3. on Page 880:
"... found that the Arethusa intercepts did not represent coded messages at all.They were simply the output of a particular mathematical function, a Riemann zeta function, which has many uses-one being that it is used in some cryptosystems as a random number generator. He proved..."
Actually, the characters you're referring to were NOT generated by Arethusa, they were generated by a Riemann zeta function; this was the whole point of that part of Cryptonomicon.
Parent should be right where he is, +3 for Effort.
Isn't it only doubly redundant? Otherwise, "the RIAA and Slashdot trolls" is doubly redundant, and "Slashdot trolls" is [singly] redundant. However, "Slashdot trolls" is not redundant, as there exist trolls which are not on Slashdot. Therefore, that clause is only doubly redundant. Q.E.D.
What happens when MS caves in entirely? They'll do exactly what Apple is doing - move to Unix and supply an emulation (let's not be pedantic here) layer. "Unix" implies a certain degree of not being fucked up, so we might have...a decent OS from Microsoft! This would be bad as it would lend legitimacy to "stop bashing Microsoft" arguments, never mind that they're a huge evil corporation.
That's correct as far as theory goes. In practice, the power of the American government hinges on just how far "interstate commerce" and "necessary and proper" can be taken.
If you're not familiar with these terms, the Tenth Amendment states that all powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved to the states. The power to regulate interstate commerce is delegated to the federal government (specifically Congress), and the power to make all laws "necessary and proper" to carry out the powers delgated to Congress is delegated to Congress. Therefore, the government can [make laws enabling it to] do whatever it likes as long as it relates somehow to "interstate commerce". You'll even see other branches taking action because it is "necessary and proper", even though that phrase expressly refers to the Congress.

What if you scratch the coating?
Can you imagine debating with foreign officials whether your CD is fake or it's just scratched?
Of course atmosphere isn't held in by electromagnetism. The grandparent is wondering whether the solar wind would blow it away.

Uh...ok? Where have you been? Linux has games.

Yes, and then I'll compile the latest release of gcc with gcc...What's your point?

Funny, it's in /usr/bin on Debian, and you'd think they'd be sticklers about that...

Actually, there's nothing wrong with your humanized sentence. "He" is the correct pronoun for a person of unknown gender. Sorry.

That has no resemblance to the pink panther theme, which has a lot more dupes on the front...
