Sorry to be all Wikipedia, but do you have a citation for that? Not because I don't believe you (I do), I just want a website where I can get more details (e.g. "the pheonomenon"'s name).
Uh... didn't all of the major parties vote in favour of the camcorder law? Weren't the Liberals working on a DMCA lookalike before the Conservatives came into power?
Edit.../components/nsFilePicker.js and change the third argument from "" to FILEPICKER_CONTRACTID in the call to compMgr.registerFactoryLocation. You'll probably have to delete ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/compreg.dat to make the change take effect.
The fact that we find this stuff "easy" is the reason why geeks shouldn't design UIs at all.
This doesn't find hash collisions (much less pre-images), so it's not an attack on SHA-1. It's an exhaustive search over a subset of ASCII (64 characters) for the purpose of cracking short (8-character) passwords.
This is John the Ripper in hardware, just not as clever.
While the repos may use the names "feisty", "gutsy", etc., I'm pretty sure that those are only "supposed" to be development names. Once a release is, well, released, it's known as 7.04, 7.10, etc.
When Edgy went from development to release, for instance, I noticed that my console login went from "Ubuntu Edgy" to "Ubuntu 6.10".
Each distro likes their own package format, but they're all pretty much the same now. Whether you type "apt-get/aptitude", "emerge" or "yum", pretty much every distro involves typing "something install the-package".
Most distros have some kind of GUI that's accessible with a link like "Add/Remove Software", too.
I've been super-frustrated over the past few months with ATI's FGLRX driver (I used to be able to suspend and resume, but not any more), and my card (X1400) doesn't work with the open-source Radeon driver.
One major success story: the Avivo driver for X1xxx cards. The newest driver in Ubuntu (and Debian) is only a few months old, but its 2D performance is already better than FGLRX! Once they get Suspend/Resume and some rudimentary 3D (just enough to run Compiz), I will be a VHP (Very Happy Penguin).
Hence what the GP said about speaking loudly... they may try to shout, but that's no louder than 98% of the folks who have something invested in the situation. "Talking loudly" today really means "talking in a manner that's likely to get picked up by the media"; unfortunately, that goal can conflict with the original goal (rational discourse). It's not altogether different from "talking loudly without shouting in a room of shouting, opinionated people".
Actually, I'd rather poll my e-mail a few times a day than have every new e-mail announce itself (distracting me from whatever I was doing). For me, the point of e-mail is that it's not the phone.
Simple solution: stop burying things hundreds of check-boxes deep.
It's like "that movie" (you know, the one with the lawyers): the defence counsel receives hundreds of boxes of paper from the prosecution, so they know that there's something of consequence in them; they just can't find it.
I mean, really, does the average voter really know or care whether the State should use 7" or 8" pipe for its water mains (silly example, but probably not outside the realm of what's been voted on). This is why representatives and a professional civil service exist: for opinions, ask the former (who, presumably, should know/care what their constituents want). For technical/professional decisions, ask the latter (who, presumably, are competent enough to be hired in the first place).
The machines had a tendency to spin out of control from time to time. That was an annoyance during ordnance-handling missions; no one wanted to contemplate the consequences during a firefight.

Is it just me, or does the story title make you think of audiophiles?
"My system has a lot more 'sizzle' when I use buttons made of a cobalt-platinum-titanium alloy."
Only when someone finds a way to sell an 8-track player for $5,000.
"You can really hear the sizzle when I put $100 rubber pads on top of the 8-track tape..."
I have a box here addressed to you from one M.Fanbois... it's ticking... shall I open it for you?
Cancel or allow?
The Gutsy screenshot showed drop shadows, so they probably had the bling turned on.
ASUS has done almost what you're asking for.
Danke.

Yup, and .
Especially since capacitors should keep working longer than a year.
Is it only Dell whose batteries die a month after the warranty expires, or does this plague other LiIon-based laptops, too?

Yeah, right... when penguins fly!

Wait a minute, what are you implying? I though that "GNU's Not Unix"!
Thank you, I'm here all week.
I'm sorry, could you translate that into a car analogy for me? :)

Microsoft doesn't seem to think so.
Do not meddle in the affairs of lasers, for you are soft and absorptive.
