Except the constitution (and the Bill of Rights) doesn't define what our rights are. It defines the powers granted to the Federal Government, and consequently the rights they can intrude upon, and those that they are explicity forbidden to intrude upon.
Too bad the Supreme Court, since practically day one, has been redefining what that means ever since, despite warnings early on.
Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction. Thomas Jefferson

Inflation forces everyone else to invest in something, because hoarding money isn't good for the economy

Yep, no you need to include the "Back To School" basic programming techniques, like Rodney Dangerfield might include.
1. Use comment syntax to obfuscate the actual running code
2. Don't indent or "pretty format" your code
3. Use the same variable name over and over, capitalizing different letters to make them unique throughout the program
4. Use variable names that are incredibly offensive in hindu, so any common "outsource" programmer will refuse to work on the code.
You get the point.
I can't speak for others, but EVERY time I call support, I let them know if I think this was a crappy design, or oversight.
If it's a common issue, there will be plenty of people that do the same. The REAL issue, I think, is that the organizations I see DON'T use customer support calls as places to look for ways to improve the product.
I think most companies just see support as a neccesary evil, and not an easy way to see what your customers are wanting.
More importantly, they apparently had no or a very bad backout plan.
It's quite likely the development group listed this as a risk, with a good backout plan, and upper management simply didn't want to pay for the cost of having a quick backout.
If that's the case, you can be pretty sure upper management WON'T take the blame.
MP3 is Fraunhofer (arguable debate ongoing at the moment)
H.264 and MPEG are standards formed by multiple companies
More relevant point is I'm sure Apple has licenses for all of the above for decoding purposes, and incurs no additional cost above what they already incur for such devices like the iPod.
No, one key part of fascism is nationalism (I.E. the majority of the general public supports the actions), of which I hardly think the RIAA applies. However, I DO think a form of Mercantilism is involved.
But not necessarily convincing, since the letter ITSELF was not protected by DRM. I mean, ANYONE could copy and paste that letter's response to ANYONE, without permission. Well, unless someone saw a wavy line roll through the message as they were reading it.
I think the 3rd law is more appropriate here, since they are basically talking about using the waste heat of an earlier process, and converting part of it to usable energy.
The 2nd law just basically states that any energy conversion process cannot be 100% efficient, AKA "entropy".
In effect, this is adding a secondary process to the first (or possibly list of processes), of which we already know some amount of energy will escape due the 2nd law.
This additional process just makes the overall process more efficient, and does not really add to it above the original process's input energy. However, the 3rd law just states you can't achieve 0 entropy in a process with a finite number of steps. Basically, you can never have a process that is 100% energy conversion efficient.
Probably the more important question is does the increase of enthalopy merit the proposed decrease in entropy? AKA, does the cost of implementing this solution outway the benefit.
AIX does not really support OpenSSH, for that matter. The Linux Toolbox/Bonus Pack doesn't really count, since the software is provided "as is" for all intents and purposes.
I would encourage anyone that they need to harass their marketing rep, and get IBM to "officially" support OpenSSH, and at least supply it on the base AIX install media.

Hmmm, that kind of assumes God is not a BOFH.
If he is, the current BOFH's (or at least the ones effective at it) would revert back to PFY's in Heaven.
Yeah, that's about as bad as "Intellectual Pre-Assignment" clauses, too.
UUCP is dead. LONG LIVE UUCP!
I remember those obtuse mail routings with lists of exclamation point delimited domains.
In fact, I know UUCP is still still in use in many places.
That doesn't mean the right doesn't exist

...and there was much rejoicing!
That works great, since based on intelligence from Sean Penn, Iraq has plenty of rainbows and lollipops to run them on.

I don't think Apple taking over AMD is a win-win idea.
I recall 3DFX's road to failure started with their acquisition of STB, letting them control all aspects of their graphics cards.
No, but we need to start preparing for "Galactic Warming", soon enough. Why wait?
Hey, we even get to keep initials.

I wouldn't say dead. I would say "golden opportunity" for more virus development. This is Microsoft, after all.
Everyone can soon look forward to a torrent of Sliverlight security fixes in addition to all their current patches.
Well, at least that is what Cringely would say.
OK, further semantics as well.

Regardless, Dolby is the licensing administrator for AAC in the MPEG-4 standard. From the point I was making, Dolby is still the key player for AAC licensing from Apple's perspective. http://www.dolby.com/assets/pdf/press_releases/72
I don't recall saying MP3 WAS mpeg3, btw.
Probably just semantics, but Apple does not "own" the the majority of the specs you may be thinking of. http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
AAC is Dolby
MP3 is Fraunhofer (arguable debate ongoing at the moment)

However, in practice, the law is not "objective" in it's interpretation.

Perhaps is an as yet unannounced joint venture "feature" that Dell is not allowed to disclose, yet?
