Java based games are great as they don't show up in the normal places (they have to be found the hard way in an audit as automatic tools can't cope) and the Java runtime is most often or not actually required for normal function of the computers other apps.
piracy will actually be harder as it will be far easier to digitally watermark the movies so that each theater will have their own unique markers with the projector being used to actually insert extra watermarks for determining the exact date and time of the screening...
how many more times are you going to make this exact same post??? that's at least 3 in this one topic... and I'm sure I've already seen the exact same text posted in previous Firefox related topics...
Mods... why haven't you picked up on this and modded his later posts as redundant???
Currently, as a Gnome person, I'm using X-CDRoast for CDs and doing DVD+R command line with growisofs. That could be improved.
Or you could swallow your pride and install K3b and the necessary KDE libs... you do not have to have the KDE desktop installed to use K3b... I know, I have Ubuntu installed and use K3b for burning CDs.
they'd have encapsulated the board, chips and all, with an epoxy resin coating as part of the assembly process and then assembled the case so that it breaks when disassembled (ie one way clips) instead of using screws.
I would also think that if you were on a diet, snapping a pic of every meal might allow you to count calories or carbs or whatever it is you're counting.
and now we have an inspiration for a web based business... online calorie counting... snap your meal, send the image to the site along with the dimension of the plate and get a itemised list back and a running total of your calories consumed over the past 24 hours, 7 days whatever...
cos I have no faith in the ability of a USB connection to remain active for a long time... my other box has currently got some 246 days of uptime and the PS2 keyboard and mouse interfaces have never fallen over in all that time.
It's becoming more and more obvious that they don't represent us, the consumers, at all, but represent purely the rights holders... which is all the more annoying as the rights they have are only supposed to have been granted for a short period and the content is supposed to revert to public ownership. It's about time the balance was tipped back towards a far fairer term in which they have to recoup their "investment"...
The perpetual extension of items now is absolutely ridiculous and should be dragged back to strictly 15 years from date of creation. 15 years is plenty of time to make money from a book, piece of music or a film... and then we get to create derivative works after that 15 year period...

single atom... pah... I pushed through that limit many moons ago and now distribute my magical sticker with patented 1/100th atom strength...

ISTR that the FPU which was available for the 486SX was also a failed 486DX with the processor half failed...
yet another amazingly hypothetical drawn out scenario just like the one we had a couple of days ago...

bummer... and here's me just having used up my last mod point somewhere else... what snivelling coward modded him flamebait???
they'll have got some teeny, tiny aspect of the protocol patented so as to lock Samba out of the party...
Ahhh... geek geeks...

you could easily add further protection to the shell once it has set using a backhoe and or dozer blade to cover it with soil.
You must be new around here... if you don't know what K3b is then you can't be a true geek...

while you've still got good data... take a backup first though... but shut it down...
how do you know that this isn't the original product that Apple just rebadged???
correction, it has been held at Salford... the slashdot article appeared far to late for anyone to benefit...
what law??? please tell us all...
salesmen like them as well as their targets are based on the dollar sales as well... as well as their commission...

well I would blame whoever wrote the counterstrike server software for not making it SMP aware...
"Dancing Queen" it were...
you've probably worn out your tape of her in that "Rik Mayall Presents" programme she featured in... so sad that was before DVD...

If there was... knowing the RIAA, it would be a deduction...
