As a parent, I see things from a slightly different perspective. Kids don't have a right to privacy, but you would be an extremely foolish parent not to give them amount of privacy as they grow up and require it. In terms of computers in our house, they are all a shared room, as opposed to a private space and the kids know that we use that room just as much as they do, often simultaneously.
Every generation seems to think this is 'as good as it gets' and every generation has been proven wrong.
I think you may need to adjust your frame of reference somewhat. Have a look at the fall of he Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, what happened to the Mayans, Easter Island etc. and think again about whether every generation has been proven wrong
Why thank you. I just hope that the BBC opens up the iPlayer to you guys in a reasonable manner. Of course, it is a truth that the U.S provides much of the best items of British television too. I expect we see just the best of what you have to offer, in the same way that you only get our best bits.
It's fashionable to bash the U.S at the moment, largely due to some of the... questionable... policies of the current administration. But let's face it the U.S is still a scientific and cultural powerhouse.
Have fun in GMT +1 land next week - if you really want to get up that early, that's fine with me.
In theory, yes. In practice, having Bob down the hall telling you in the lunch queue that your servers suck for the following reasons is actually a rather more direct feedback loop.
Not so much rearranging the deckchairs, as throwing them away and getting one really big deckchair instead. And a single deckchair-admin to look after it. Stand back! The metaphor's about to blow!!
So, to be clear. Every seat has a seat-back screen in front of it, capable of displaying messages - but you would prefer a separate wire going to every seat to power a 'fasten your seatbelts' bulb?
Surely that's what the LGPL is used for. You wrap your kernel support functions into LGPL-licensed modules and then link your proprietary code from there. No?
You might be right, but my own experience with cheap off-brand media players is that the menu/command structure is usually so arcane that I can't get it to do a bloody thing,
Apparently they were - since he spoke and did not follow the dress code.
However it is extremely naive to believe that the choice of a person's clothes has nothing to do with communication. Aside from protection from the elements, the style of clothing a person chooses is entirely about communication. RMS and everyone else chooses their clothing to send a message, even if that message is 'I can't be bothered about clothes'. It is left to the reader to decide whether his message was a an intentionally rude one. I don't think it was. But he was certainly saying 'I don;t care about societal norms or the rules of your little club'.
I can't speak about the windows version, but the OS X implementation of the free player is actually very nice to use indeed: fast and lightweight. It's the format I choose for listening to and watching BBC streaming feeds.
I don't agree it's worth nothing. I have absolutely no clue how much it is worth. That's the point. The question they pose is 'pay how much you think it is worth'. But they don't even give you streaming track excerpts a la iTunes.
However, having listened to a few tracks, it's not really my cup of tea, so I'm likely to delete it anyway.
That's exactly the problem I had with the band's site/approach. I didn't know whether it was going to be any good, so I paid 0. They should have had a 'I don't know' option. I'd be more than happy for the band to mail me in a month and ask how much I wanted to pay, having heard the album.

Don't enforce. Offer householders financial incentives if they install these things. It's voluntary.
Instead of rewiring entire houses, howabout smart sockets/plugs that can respond to remote signals.

Hurry. Us Brits have just got into work.
Have all the avionics use SNA, Set them up as LU 6.2/PU2.1 nodes.

Uh, OK.

"impact minus 10 seconds, it's been great knowing you guys... As you walk through the storm hold your head up high...."
Hmmm, I'm not sure about that.
So it's clustering, then.

You can switch them off, and save yourself over $100 all at the same time, nifty eh?
