A software solution would be just as easy. After all, it could be as simple as an executable that puts itself in the startup menu/registry. Inserting a CD with Autorun is easier than fiddling behind the computer.
Yes, you can be arrested and imprisoned anywhere, any time, for any reason. This is as a result of a completely separate issue. (PATRIOT Act, I'm looking at you).
It only gets major once it gets ignored. It's our resposibility to stop the breaches when they start, before they become widespread policy (Which, in this case, apparently wasn't true, though the officer did lie and say it was). And the other breaches are unrelated, separate incidents. Much as people might like to think otherwise, police forces don't coordinate much with each other.
I would say most US police are the same way, and some Canadians aren't. This isn't a major civil liberties breach because it's an isolated incident, not far reaching. That's not to say that it doesn't need to be addressed and stamped out to prevent it from going too far. Police oversight is vital to protect the Rodney Kings of the world.
But this isn't a case where no blood is available. This is a case where there's real human blood, but synthetic is used so that it may be tested. Dying of blood loss isn't the alternative, receiving real blood is.
Go tell your family members that after you install Linux on their computers. "Don't worry, software companies will be switching over any minute now." Though WINE is a good solution, it's not perfect, and I don't know about you, but I don't like the thought of running something on WINE that's been tested only on Windows. What if something fails in a way that doesn't cause a crash? I may never know. If it's financial software, I could be SOL.
In the Wall Street Journal (The only paper I read. Is is great? Well, it's free for me. Free as in mandatory subscription.) they said it was linked to several heart attacks. Before the testing on accident victims. Something happened, unrelated, that ruled that trial invalid, if I remember correctly, so they didn't have to tell anyone that there was a risk of heart attack.
People like you are why people like me don't like people who like Linux. You, sir, are fucktarded. If you believe the ones and zeros on your computer affect your freedom, maybe you should get out more. (First person to bring up keyloggers and rootkits gets call fucktarded, too!)
People like me? I didn't do anything. Blame Microsoft. IE7 is on the road to standards compliance, but for now it's close enough. Ironic as it is, Firefox will become more viable when IE7 is compliant, because then it will render webpages "correctly" when they are designed with IE in mind. IE7 doesn't really have the extra bloat that Firefox has picked up, either (key word: extra. If I use Firefox, I'm STILL going to have some parts of IE running anyway). Though, I admit, I used Mozilla, which was pretty bloated as well. The world isn't perfect,
I have to admit, I switched from Firefox to IE7. IE7 isn't bad, it's a huge improvement. I never liked Firefox, but when they killed the Mozilla suite, I was kinda forced over. I keep Firefox around on my Windows machine for a few sites that still have bugs in IE7, but hopefully they will get worked out eventually (They are rather rare). Safari on my other computer. I might try FF when it hits 2.0, but I sure as hell won't be compiling from source. F that.
Actually, he seemed to have been very nice, and you were being a bit assy. He's offering his service, probably geared toward personal websites (Think one step above MySpace) of people who get pissed when people steal their layouts. The vast majority of people cannot handle more than view source/copy/paste. Yeah, it's stupid, but hey, let him have his stupid business. He probably got scammed by the spammers anyway (Look into the spamming business, most of the places they are advertising for are being bilked/lied to). My CAPTCHA was "stolen".
Well, there are always going to be incompatibilities with a new major version. And it's not so much that they are leaving the heavy lifting to others, it's just that all those little things that don't work the same need to be fixed in various software programs. Thousands of software programs. That cost is divided amongst all developers. Then the deployment of those changes. And marketing. Etc. These are not Microsoft's responsibility.
That said, I've used Vista Beta 2. It's Alpha quality, at best. (Of course, "Beta" has become somewhat of a buzzword. Often what should be a "Release" is labelled "Beta" to give it a "Cutting edge" feeling.)
Sony's biggest risk is the massive amount of people who will "wait and see," which is precisely what I will do. For added perspective, I'm still in the "wait and see" stage in regard to the Xbox (Not 360). I'm pretty sure I'll pick one up soon though. Haha.
I didn't say it was a big deal. I said that's not cheap. It's not. Don't put in the review that something is cheap if it's not. Cheap compared to most Apple systems? Yes. But that's not too fair.

The more likely workaround would be devices you put between your keyboard and the computer. Easier? No. Cheaper? No. Marketable? Maybe.
This also screws up people trying to go to aaa.cm and typing aab.cm instead.

He was beaten more than necessary, no matter how you slice it, and I wasn't even thinking about the racial angle.
You're comparing this to nuclear meltdown? You are insane, that is in no way a valid comparison.
Agents will arrive shortly to discuss such possibilities.

Apple? Haha, Mirabilus started that. They were Beta for 6 years, or something like that. (ICQ) I don't know about OSX, I just started using it.

No, I haven't used the subsequent build. Could I just get it from the same beta site? I don't think I got any notification of it. (Legal) Link please?

The argument is price of new computers.
Dell, Apple - New PC market
eBay - [largely] Used PC market
Can't fairly compare. There's also the hassle factor.
The argument was price though. All other factors aside, Macs lose on price, sorry. I do think the quality is better, but you pay for that.
Whose money do YOU buy computers with, and where do I sign up? (If you say freeimacs.com....)
