Not necessarily. On the Mac (and I'm sure other OSs have similar functionality) it is quite possible to attach parental controls to Mail.app, with a whitelist of addresses.
Of course you might argue that the child might access the Mailbox through the Web, but not if they don't have the password.
No, sorry it doesn't. If you are familar with the language it may, but if you are new to the language the former is quite a bit clearer. Remember someone might be trying to examine your code in 50 years time
Actually, I think this is a fairly ludicrous step. They want to make the OS "cleaner" but there's no suggestion that the way things are code will be particularly different. It's just that the physical location of the installer is being shifted from the DVD to an FTP server. Symbolic, perhaps, yet still fairly bizarre.
I have developed a system by which each character is taken and broken up into a pattern of ones and zeros. The exact pattern is determined by looking up the character in a table. The receiver has to unscramble this pattern of ones and zeros by looking the pattern up in a similar table and then regenerating the character.
I call this system ASCII and I believe that it is a simple type of encryption, albeit with a very public public key, and no private key.
I thought the first ad was limp, but I actually enjoyed the second one and was looking forward to more. Not that it would have made any difference to my OS-buying proclivities, but I thought they were at least interesting.
I live on a planet where 'politicians' encompasses a wide range of people who are motivated by a wide range of reasons to enter public life and have a wide range of 'truthiness'.
It flagged up that I should be wary about the level of sophistication of the rest of your argument. All politicians are liars is a great sound-bite, and it might be a fashionable sentiment, but there's no evidence that the statement is true.

LHC Success!

Ahem, well since there's quite a while yet until the LHC actually collides anything, I expect the doomsayers are still waiting with bated breath.
Well, the Reuters article does say that trading started normally, but some traders were unable to connect, so the whole exchange was bought down to avoid unfair advantage/disadvantage occurring, so actually both stories are consistent.
The only legitimate use of patents is indeed to " "promote the progress of science and useful arts". And it does this by attempting to ensure that inventors are rewarded for their inventiveness.
Someone has modded you insightful, but just have a look at point 1:
Make all advertisement, solicitation, marketing, etc , etc via email illegal. No exceptions.
My 2 year old daughter is having a birthday party. Can I tell people about it and mention what particularly cheap gifts she might like?
Preposterous - Of course I can - you didn't mean that.
OK. How about her pre-school who is holding a Christmas fair, entry 50p. Can I mail the parents of the children? The local newspapers?
Of course - you didn't mean that.
What about if I forward a Red-cross chain main asking for donations following the destruction of Hurricane Hannah. Of course, that's OK.
The only way this might get rid of spammers, is by convincing them that there is more money to be made in the law - arguing about the definition of solicitation, marketing and advertisement.
I suppose is most accurate to say that GNU OS in an operating system that has been in the process of being written for 25 years and may be released in usable form some time in the next 25.
"The Now Show" a BBC radiio comedy program is available via Podcast. Quite often the podcast has a little break in it, with one of the presenters saying: "Listeners on Radio are, at this point hearing a hilarious sketch featuring music X - sorry about that".
I'm not sure I really am indulging in that fallacy, though I get your point.If the rules really *were* changed to literally allow any kind of enhancement (as the article suggests), l can't see how anyone could avoid not using mechanical aids.

Don't you mean the 33 1/3 riots in 78?
or am I getting confused?

sublimate is a nasty, redundant back-formation.
Sorry, but... but.... actually, I'm not sorry. I'm a pedant.
Let me paraphrase you question: "Why exactly does a network need people to run it?"
... you velcro a small paper pad and pen to your laptop. Seriously.
pedant that I am.
I thought the first ad was limp, but I actually enjoyed the second one and was looking forward to more. Not that it would have made any difference to my OS-buying proclivities, but I thought they were at least interesting.
... in my haste, I forgot internment and the Diplock courts.
Yes and no. The "ring of steel" around the city, and the first surveillance cameras were in large part a response to Irish republican terrorism.

Thanks for putting this near the top

Follow that logic rigorously and all mission-critical systems would be running on abacus.

One of these things is not like the other.
Now try pitching a tent on a Manhattan sidewalk.
Your point?
"The Now Show" a BBC radiio comedy program is available via Podcast. Quite often the podcast has a little break in it, with one of the presenters saying: "Listeners on Radio are, at this point hearing a hilarious sketch featuring music X - sorry about that".
So, just to be clear - would you prefer to pay for a subscription?
