Have you ever done extensive software testing? Users always find novel ways to break things. More than once I've has the discussion with QA "But who in their right mind would ever..... yeah, it's a bug, we need to fix it." And then a week later the customer comes up with something that none of us thought of, and the same statement gets uttered. (Who in their right mind would leave their fat finger on the screen after selecting an item.....)
Or as a few other people have mentioned, and I have specifically done. Intentionally not voted as I did not have enough information (recently moved to the municipal riding, so no idea what the local issues were, or the local people) from which to make a choice. I found it more important to not vote than to uninformed vote. No protesting, or making a grand statement of "I don't believe in the system!". Just uninformed.
That was my big beef with my HTC 6800 phone. It was laggy for my primary usage, as a phone! I was happier with the RAZR I had before it and the LG-Wine after it. Now I'm on a Nexus One, and happy.
Was the Travelling Salesman presented with the completely connected graph the way the bees were? The bee isn't constrained to fly along predefined paths between nodes, the travelling salesman is.
The 14 day restriction doesn't bother me. The person can come visit me again in 2 weeks to continue with the book. If I can't read it at the same time, that's fine too. The "can only lend a book once" is stupid.
The firm behind the app, Pinkfroot, uses a network of aircraft enthusiasts in Britain and abroad, who are equipped with ADS-B receivers costing around 200 pounds to intercept the information from aircraft and send it to a central
database.
Notice how it's referred to as "intercepting" the transmissions? There's an emotionally-charged way of trying to explain what's happening. A completely in-the-clear transmission is broadcast from an airplane intended for anybody else to hear, but a guy on the ground with a receiver is considered to be "intercepting" the transmission.
it would really infringe your rights terribly to include a link to the original, and a link to the GPL
Careful... read the GPL again. A link to the original isn't sufficient. You need to provide the source, or a copy of the written offer that you received when you got your copy. (See section 3 of the GPLv2. I haven't read GPLv3 to a great extent.)
Debian has their popularity-contest package that collects info and sends it to Debian. It doesn't disturb me as it asks whether I want to do it or not (and seems to explain why the info is being collected). One question during install doesn't bother me.
Not only "trust some random guy from India", but "trust some random guy from India who has already posted your private data to the net". What does it take to have her _not_ trust someone?
Didn't say he was speeding. Said he was driving too fast. In this case, driving too fast for the prevailing conditions. I suppose an alternative explanation is that the driver wasn't paying enough attention to driving to begin with.
Other drivers? Wrong place at the wrong time.
For that example, that driver should be getting a ticket for "Driving without due care and attention" in addition to running the red light. Should have been driving slower to begin with.
I've long lamented the death of the space combat flight sim. The last decent ones were X-Wing Alliance and the Descent Freespace series. After that, nothing. No more Wing Commander either.
Not necessarily true. I'm using an Apple Magic Mouse and my hand certainly doesn't rest on the mouse. only my fingertips touch the mouse. (thumb on one side, index and middle fingers where the left and right mouse buttons normally reside, the remaining two fingers on the other side.) Nothing supporting or touching the palm of my hand.
You apparently can't see the forest for the trees.
Car analogy: What is the best car for me to use to go pick up a newspaper 15m down the street? None of them. It would be better to walk.
The OP is asking which car to use, and everybody else is suggesting that the OP uses the footsmobile.

Canada has Netflix now... but the lineup of shows is restricted, probably due to distribution agreements.
Have you ever been an election official? Marking a circle is a challenge to people as well.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of them!
Wow... somebody else that remembers ProDOS.... how about the various incarnations of GS/OS ? ProDOS 16?

The iMac isn't particularly more powerful than a Mac mini, if at all. It just has the display attached
Huh? My iMac has a quad-core i7 CPU and 16 GB RAM. The mini has at best a Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of RAM (8 GB max). That's a non-trivial jump.

When the person who sits next to you gets infected, your desktop firewall still defends against his machine attempting to infect yours.

Yo. 15 years. Still happy.
Ahem... that one _is_ one of God's laws: "Thou shalt not steal". Written in stone, no less.

Quite a bit. The problem is that it's very hard to fire someone without iron-clad, can't be disputed in any way, absolutely objective proof.

Egad.... yet another person who doesn't know the difference between a line-up and a signal. _Cue_ the C&D in 3... 2... 1...
Uh, why are you leaving a dangerous implement lying around where one can "get a hold of it"?
