Wow... so all of your friends and families have systems admins on-duty? I'm sure they also run every game they install or link they click on through security screening. Must get costly... must be very wealthy... think they might be ripe for some bank phishing...
Odds are, not even enough money to pay for the employee they are interacting with in that line. I don't have much issue with the government sponsoring the postal service, it's a vital infrastructure piece. I think the last-mile contracts with fedex and ups will help a bit, just the same, when I was living in a more rural area (20k people in the area, but still)... the USPS was unreliable and on a number of occasions packages simply weren't delivered, or I received packages to houses not even on my street, or matching number... To this day, I don't make purchases that will be delivered USPS.
Interesting... but hitting a $300 price point would be hard... even if they raised that bar to $400, the license for Windows would still be hard to push into a level of hardware on such a box... a dual-core Cortex A8 combined with nvidia graphics might be compelling at that price range ($300)... but would still take some efforts to support... though Valve is in a better position than a lot of companies, especially if they eliminated any upfront fees for developers.
I would be interested in buying your crystal ball, where you can see the future. Following your logic, I shouldn't buy Pork futures because, what if flying pigs start flying out my ass?
Beyond this, the bot doesn't need root privs to run under the logged in user... The only reason for the root escalations in windows is to work around the antivirus programs that are more common in windows... targeting a platform without active av is easier.. I'm surprised there aren't more mac trojans currently.
Wasn't gnote started because tomboy was a stronger app? Wha about Pinta, imho the best general pain't program out there (though I use the original paint.net for win, and pinta for osx and linux)
Not sure about that one.. MS has.Net in it's community promise, and I've seen mono bring more windows developers to test/deploy on linus and osx than the other direction.
What are you talking about... you can write.Net/C# apps that don't use the registry at all... and if.Net is installed, and the app is well written, you can do xcopy deploy all you want... I have, and often do...
Well, you could read the legally binding community promise... Or the projects MS has released under OSS licences (MVC, DLR, etc). I'm guessing you've stripped out the FAT32 support, and Samba from your linux builds too then?
I partially agree here, only bluray drive I have is in my htpc... and part of me regrets not getting a hybrid for burning DVDs, which I've done in the living room more than I've watched blurays so far.. That and getting the surround sound to work is a total PITA!!!! it worked for a while, then the software updated, and hasn't worked since.:( I like surround sound more than the extra definition of video from dvd to blueray myself.
What's funny is this is the case for everyone but both of my grandmothers... either one of them leave a voicemail, and it transcribes > 95% accurate, better than anyone else (30-60% usually). I guess it works well for old women raised in the U.S. midwest.
Not only that, but the relevant purchase information, even including the type of CC and the last 4 of the card number would be enough... it's not like businesses keep track of the serial numbers for every cash bill that crosses a register... It's simply a horrible concept. If they allowed for partial refunds, then keeping the information long enough for a refund, fine. If the have recurrent billing.. this should be a walled system (software tier, not just layer) that has a simple API for the front end systems to be able to access as-needed, with simple rules. The data should be encrypted with a per-record key. You could even have a crypto service that's only available from the billing service's tier, to decrypt a single record for 1-time use in recurrent billing scenarios. It isn't rocket science...
It bugs me to no end that programmers, architects and CS engineers will design a software system that pretty much ignores having physical separation of service tiers for things like this.
Beyond this, NTFS does have distinct execute priv's.. on XP/2K I've been known to set iexplore.exe to alow write, butnot execute privs... so that it isn't ever runnable as a browser choice... this way it doesn't break updates, but still doesn't let another user/gues execute old IE versions.

I've just been using http://torrentz.eu/ more myself.... Since TPB doesn't actually link to direct torrents anymore.
I have to agree, it's like we're all sheeple with ADD, distraxted at the drop of a ... "Ooooh, 'Angry Birds."
Oh, it's blocking my view of the sun.. it will be incinerated.

Or, register your screen names as trademarks.
Saw it in the theater... Wasn't so bad for what it was... over the top action flick. Now "Vampires Suck" I want my money and dead brain cells back.

You could buy, gut and re-package a Boxee Box.. or keep the packaging.

Well there were like 84000 sites ceized, most I would say without merit.
Wish I had mod points.. this should probably been part of TFS.
Maybe buying the patents outright, then having a war chest against larger foes?
But aren't Python and other run time environments included in Ubuntu as well?
It starts with, "Microsoft irrevocably promises" ... given estoppel ruling, It's not something MS can revoke.

So you aren't using anything with gtk, or qt at it's base?
