Then as soon as you use that password with one bad company your entire life can be stolen even worse than it is with the SSN. It's a password so obviously it was you who bought the car in California even though you live in New England. I don't think your security system is very well thought out.
That would be Richard Wagner. He's dead. He's been dead for 124 years. The copyright on that expired a very long time ago, if it ever was copyrighted in the first place.
Don't worry. Give Disney a few years, it'll be back in copyright soon enough.
True about the Da Vinci code. I would like to mention though the interesting comparison between JK Rowling and JRR Tolkien. It's pretty clear that JRR Tolkien is master worldbuilder, but the difference is sort of redundant. The main thing that sets JK Rowling apart is that she is a master of story telling. Harry Potter is simply a bloody good yarn - very well planned and very well told. The characters are complex with subtle habits and realistic traits. Dumbledore's habit of always referring to people by their first names rather than family names which seems to be the norm in the wizarding world is a good example of this, highlighting his indifference of family and blood where he believes it doesn't matter who's belly you came out of but rather the person you are. JRR Tolkien on the other hand was never a brilliant narrator, just a damned good one. You would get lost in his world, but not so much his story.
It's funny that one of the bigger arguments against Beryl's forking of Compiz was that people thought it would be amazingly unstable, yet I've had no problems at all with Beryl since I've been using it. The only criticism is that some of the animations (especially the floppy windows) hurts my eyes since I have a bad lcd monitor with a pretty bad refresh rate and vga input which I might replace soon.
This is a post for 2006 not 2003. I'm serious here - even the difference between kernels 2.4 and 2.6 is a huge one so you shouldn't get discouraged by one problem that happened 3 years ago.
The answer to your problem though is that it's probably a hardware issue, I'd guess RAM. You should have run memtest86 on it. It's anecdotal evidence though and pretty irrelevant - I had a graphics card that would work fine on Windows but due to a fault I believe in the framebuffer got image corruption on Linux. They're different operating systems, that's all. You can easily have a piece of hardware that fails on Windows but works fine with Linux (something I had on both systems I've personally upgraded to Athlon 64s that could only be fixed with a complete format and reinstall)
That was very quickly outdated when fokker connected some gears between the machine guns and the propellors to simply make the guns only fire when the propellors were in the right position for it to go through. You need to touch up on your WWI history! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupter_gear
Apologies, I should have made it more clear that I was refuting just the first paragraph:) Forgot to do a blockquote!
But of course there's not one answer, and no answer will fix everything, it just tweaked with me people talking about "Slashdot" being contradictory. There's no group mind, just a collection of people. Slashdot may very well have a majority opinion on many things - RIAA being the obvious one, but even that's nowhere near unanimous. This one though I think that there's no majority opinion on either topic.
Just Wow. That's the biggest piece of bullshit response I think I've ever seen. Look closely and compare that and the original article. For example, the original article says that the component and S/PDIF can be disabled by the disc you put in the drive, and this article says that "Similar to S/PDIF, Windows Vista does not require component video outputs to be disabled, but rather enables the enforcement of the usage policy set by content owners or service providers, including with respect to output restrictions and image constraint" which sidesteps the point that a disc can disable the current standard connection from a normal computer to a normal TV you fucks!!! Of course they also go on about how the degraded image is still DVD quality, which is a great help to the people who spent an extra few grand to set up HD DVDs when they could have just gone to the shop and bought a DVD. They then also point out that you don't actually need a dedicated decoder, even though the original article pointed out that CPUs simply aren't strong enough for the task.
So all this Microsoft article has done is only confirmed my conclusion that they're trying to give the movie studios every opportunity to rape the people who try to watch their stuff. This is just bullshit marketing spin.
Bullshit. Your argument has two flaws. Firstly the commenters here are talking more about education and less about tracking their children's every move. That doesn't matter so much to this argument though.
Secondly, and more importantly, people care about different things. The people most likely to care about and post about parents tracking their children are the people least likely to express this opinion in this thread. The people least likely to care and post about about parents tracking are most likely to post in this thread that the parents should be doing some tracking. Anyway, the main flaw in your argument is that you seem to think that it takes a "collective" or a majority of slashdotters to get a +5 moderated post, when really it takes only 4 people (assuming the poster started at 2). If there are 100 +5 moderated posts (extremely high for a thread) with that opinion that just means that max of a few hundred people (out of a million) think that this is an argument that is worth expressing. That is nowhere near a majority representation of Slashdot.
So don't imagine some huge Slashdot collective opinion since there quite frankly is just a lot of people who disagree with eachother. If that weren't the case then Slashdot would be a lot less fun.
I mean I haven't actually *used* the program to browse for anything, but I downloaded it to check it out, and then swapped immediately back to Firefox.
Don't be idiotic. I might just extend my assumption of "not read the paper" to "not read any serious paper". Your "conclusions in the paper" were the conclusions for the last section in the appendix. It wasn't even part of the paper - you obviously flipped to the end and read a subsection called "Conclusions" without realising it wasn't part of the actual paper. (even though there are several other subsections throughout the paper labelled "Conclusions", and you never ever put conclusions for the entire paper in a bloody subsection) Look at the Executive Summary for the real findings - that's what the Executive Summary is for.
So you got the conclusions of one section looking at case studies with an emphasis on the impact of the common program OpenOffice.org (that's in the appendix - not even the actual paper!) and then complained that the entire paper is only about OpenOffice.org?
Something tells me you didn't read this paper very thoroughly!
You probably just don't have the right ear for it. If it was only the intro then I'd be dismissing it. It's not an exact copy and I'd bet you could find a few thousand pieces of music with those notes in there - it even sounded familiar to me! The melody is what is so interesting. It seriously sounds like the exact tune playing in the background - the notes are the same and even the drum beat (though it's a pretty common beat) seems to be the same.
I'd have to listen to proper high-quality versions of both to decide whether I think it's a true forgery though. If there's more of the original in the supposed forgery then that would be more evidence, but note how the tune in the intro could be easily derived from the melody - I would only put the intro being there as a minor evidence boost.

Well, the doctor takes many forms.

Just my thoughts.

And I heard the Debian Stable packages are from Debian Unstable as well. That definitely makes you think!
Just add the repository from the beryl pages. It's not very hard. Debian support will be forthcoming I'm sure.

Oh my god! CmdrTaco is so efficient and deadly at removing posts that he actually removed your post three hours before you even posted it!
They will also be hugely malnourished. We're omnivores - we need meat as well as vegetables.
Why should he answer to any court in Finland?
Because assets of the publishing company can be seized by finnish authorities. And by "prior art" I think the GP poster meant "precedent".
