Why didn't they ask more interesting questions? From the article: "Having copy protection allows us to protect the integrity or our titles and future investments". Why wasn't the question asked: "If this is so important, why haven't you used a copy protection method that actually works, ie: one which isn't cracked within days of release, if not before release"?

Which part of "Congress shall make no law" did you miss? I'm pretty sure that they didn't go and pass a law that says that the website now limits the number of emails during peak hours. And you can still call and/or snail-mail in your petition for redress. Email isn't the _only_ way to contact your government y'know.
I don't agree with letting them keep the medals (assuming that they are underage). By your argument, it would also be OK to let a competitor who has jacked up on steroids to keep their medals, and just disqualify them from the next Olympics. That's just not fair to the competitors in _this_ Olympics.
I'll echo the same sentiments as everybody else... use source control. In addition, you're asking for the impossible. Word Processors can do "change tracking" within a file because the file contains more stuff than simply the text that you type in. Based on your description, the file you're talking about is simple text data, and has no provisions for storing "previous versions" directly within the text file. Where were you expecting this additional information to reside? And if it's in the same file, you would also have to change whatever tools you're using to process that file to be aware of all of this new (and to that tool, useless) information within the file.
I have the luxury of lots of hardware that can fill in for other gear in a pinch, but lots of people don't. They don't deserve scorn for it.
Then these admins really need to learn about stuff like VMware Server. Free, and doesn't require additional hardware. The admin's PC is probably large enough to host a VM alongside their normal tasks. They could run their staging server in a VM (and not even have it running 24/7, only have it run to test things).
Didn't the Silicon Indy (or was it the Onyx) have a 2 GB video card? Glancing over the specs, the SGI Onyx4 could have up to 8 GB of graphics memory. Note that these machines are on the order of a decade old....
Granted, not exactly home gear, but still this isn't the "World's First 2 GB Graphics Card".
So in fine tradition... another thing that UNIX had already done 10 years ago. (Hmm... maybe it was closer to 15....)
Is it strange that I played a bunch of the "obscure" titles: Eamon, Dunjonquest : The Temple of Apshai, Odessey : The Complete Apventure, and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves?
You had the choice not to run the light.
Really? Suppose I'm used to yellow lights lasting 6 seconds, and I know I can get through the light in 5 seconds. Now the city changes the yellow light length to 3 seconds, without warning. Do I have a choice then?
I really really hate people who run red lights. But I hate entrapment more. Yes, you still have a choice. The yellow light definition (at least in my neck of the woods) is: "Stop unless it is unsafe to do so". Not: "The light is going red, so stomp on the gas".
Is that even a serious question? Why should there be supervision, education, and monitoring? Let's see... Education. I would prefer it if my kids actually knew what they were doing, not just fumbling around. I am a fan of letting kids (or anyone else I'm teaching) make their own mistakes, but I also supervise and monitor so that I can make the determination that the mistake that they're about to make is either irritating/annoying/somewhat painful (in which case, let them do it), or something that will have permanent consequences (in which case, stop them and educate on what bad things were about to happen).
Supervision to guide along the education. You can figure out when they're ready for the next steps. When they have the mental capacity to make the appropriate decisions of what do to online. Then you can lift the restrictions that you may have placed on their network activities.
I noticed the same thing. Also the quote how the brother had to "endure" parental control software. We're talking about a 7-year old. There should be parental supervision, education, and monitoring.
How do you suppose people can believe things like that in the face of fact though? Which "things"? The theoretical explanation that Adam & Eve would have perfect genes and thus wouldn't be suceptible to genetic weaknesses?
And precisely which fact are you talking about? That organisms with the current genetic makeup have weeknesses?
Also, I'd love to find out about your answer to how we came from Adam and Eve and yet our entire human race didn't die off from inbreeding resulting thereof? Inbreeding is only an issue when you have recessive genes that get propogated to the offspring. Adam & Eve would have had "perfect" genes, as a result there would be no detrimental recessive genes. Until much later when the genes may have mutated.
As has been mentioned in other threads, what Comcast is doing is beyond throttling. Merely QoSing the traffic down is one thing. Comcast is aborting connections by spoofing packets. The only reason this "works" is because BT will go try a different connection. What happens when they decide that FTP transfers are taking up too much bandwith and start aborting those TCP connections (and what happens if the FTP server doesn't support resuming transfers?). Or HTTP. Or SSH. Or whatever.

Uh, didn't this used to be called Enum? (e164.arpa.)?

One thing to be careful about is that there needs to be 2 captains of the Enterprise _before_ Kirk...

Everybody keeps complaining abut this one... but it is rather good: it tells you the error, and verifies that you've fixed it before continuing.
If we started you on the beer, you'd be so drunk so fast....

So how do you use Stateful Autoconfiguration (aka DHCPv6) in Leopard? I was rather disappointed that they didn't include it in 10.5.
Or actively hide from the rescuers and hope they make it out on their own.
Heh... not only is Pidgin being punished with a fork... they're also being punished with a Slashdotting!

Imagix 4d (http://www.imagix.com) was a rather interesting tool the last time I looked at it.
Don't forget to pick up your bottle of Victory (err, I mean Patriot) Gin on the way home.

You realize it's pronounced "skew", right?
