But it is still a step backwards. People expect their new computer to connect to the internet out of the box. They've managed that since Windows 98 computers hit the shops. Before that, ISPs generally distributed CDs to enable people to get online, but now people expect to be able to plug into their Netgear / Lynksys / Cable router and be up and running straight away.
I see in terms of "the right to life" in Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights vs "the right to bear arms" in the 2nd amendment of the US constitution.
The BSD camp is like the American position which focuses on the rights of the individual, whereas the GNU camp is more like the European position which focuses on the rights of others.
Kingston is the monopoly telecoms provider in Hull. BT is the monopoly provider in the rest of the country. And the place is evidently of no interest to any of the cable providers.
It is the Data Protection Act you use, not the Freedom of Information Act. FOI applies to non-personal information held by public bodies, and no fee is payable.
As we always point out whenever the RIAA, MPAA or BSA mention it, copying != theft. Theft takes place when someone uses these details to buy something or borrow something they shouldn't be buying or borrowing.
Secondly, they are not selling you your credit card back, they are selling you the information that it is being passed around carding sites.
For Windows XP, an 8 - 10 character password is no more secure than a 7 character password, and a 14 character password is only twice as secure as a 7 character one. You need 15 characters to stop people from being able to break it.
The motive is quite simple. To sell more copies of Hyper-V server by having it better able to run linux guests than VMWare and Parallels and as good at running them as Xen and KVM.
I see it as an amoral (ie neither moral or immoral) part of their marketing strategy.
They are doing this for the simple reason that they want to sell more copies of Windows Hyper-V server. People buy hypervisors because they want to run different operating systems on the one computer. One of the operating systems they will want to run is Linux, and if Hyper-V server doesn't run Linux guests well, they are more likely to chose another hypervisor than chose a different operating system for their guest machine.
Videos of one description or another take the vast majority of my space. Music takes up quite a bit as I keep it in lossless formats wherever possible.
I rsync my Mac across to a bootable firewire drive. The, if the hard drive fails, which it has unfortunately done so twice in the last year, I can boot from the firewire drive and rsync in the opposite direction to my internal drive.

Basically yes.
Have a look at Mozilla's accounts. http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/documents/
They make quite a lot of money.
Yes. GNU/Hurd. As I understand it, the current status is that it doesn't boot.

Or an HSDPA wireless connection from O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange, Three or Virgin.

My Netgear box routes packets over open air without too much trouble.
You are wrong. Lets suppose there are 60,000,010 people in the country, of which 10 are terrorists and 60,000,000 are not terrorists.
The test will incorrectly identify 600,000 of the non-terrorists as terrorists, and 1 of the terrorists as a non-terrorists.
What this means is that out of the 600,009 people it identifies as terrorists, only 9 actually are.
Turbans are worn by Sikhs. This is a completely different religion to Islam which is alleged to harbour these terrorists.

A 240 day trial copy doesn't really count.
Yes, and it requires Windows 2008 in order to work. You won't find a free download of that on microsoft.com.
Isn't Parallels the market leader on Macs?
I believe Office 2008 has a pretty decent marketshare.
Samba got that after fighting all the way to the European Court of Justice.

DVDs are the MPAA's department, not RIAA. The MPAA still hasn't seen the light in this regard, and most videos are still infected with DRM.

They should use Time Machine.
You can get 2.5" 500GB external hard drives which will fit in most pockets.
Having the password gives you a better chance of being able to log onto other systems using it, or using other passwords stored on the computer.
