"self-consciousness (the realization that we are naked), and most interesting to me, pain in childbirth because of our big brain-holding heads." Yes, I find this interesting too.
I'm wondering if it's the consciousness of the proximity of birth that led to intelligence (in the way that it's looking at the future and seeing that something will be like that, so we must take care of this or that). I believe the greatest difference between us and the rest of the animal kingdom maybe that we do project ourselves in time (winter is coming) and in space (there is another tribe there, they move slowly, in a month they will be there). We do it in a conciously way, at a level unseen in the (other) animals, wich seem to rely more on instinct. Okay. that's not a very scientific way of approching the question. But I'd like to hear your opinion on this hypothese.
I'd be very happy to read some more informative links if you got some. Thanks/je serais trés reconnaissant d'avoir des liens car je ne l'ai entendu que sur LCI sans ces détails. Les liens slashdot ne me renseignent pas plus. Chou-blanc sur Libération ainsi que sur toolinux.com
I don't think we can call it "legalizing" because there is a fee for everyone: some people say it can be 6 or 7 euros. 6 or 7 euros???? That's too much!!!!
Since when shall we pay for sharing files? What about people who don't download copyrighted and restricted materials?
yeah I'm from France and I don't think these are good news.
please read their recommandations on their voting guide. The recommandations are sensible and argumented, and when they don't want to choose (business leader of the year) they generate a random choice. I found it quite funny.
"If an Intel processor could be made to have hardware-based virus detection, integrating with this software-based virus detection, the team could be a very powerful deterrant to any future virus outbreaks."
if I had mod points, I'd mod it funny, because you can't stop a user running a del.bat file. More on, as a Linux user, I surely don't want an antivirus for windows in the bios!
"The need to run this stuff on Linux rather than accept nice clean sharp fonts is a downside. I haven't played much with the feature on the Linux side, can it be turned off on a font-by-font basis? It would be nice to turn antialiasing on for "fancy" fonts, and turn it off on well-hinted fonts"
hi. Of course it's possible. The relevant file are fonts.conf or local.conf, both in/etc/fonts (at least in Debian, otherwise do a "locate fonts.conf" to find them). It may be not easy, but look at the Bitstream Vera fonts section, it will help you turn antialiasing on/off.
"awaits justifications and explanations of why this is nothing like Microsoft" Ask and you 'll receive: as said another poster before, it's _locally_ exploitable. But you know, physical access to a machine is not far from having all privileges. You can log on as root without knowing the password.
Anyway I agree it's a bug. But not exactly the same sort.
"there are only prices that your competitors may not be efficient enough to meet."
It's not always a question of efficiency. If I am (over)powerful, I can low the price of my product until your are out of the market. I could sell under the cost of making it (at a loss). Only when your enterprise no longer exist, I rise my prices up, to the point I choose, because there is no more competition.
Disgusting, isn't it? It's called dumping, I think. And it's forbiden in certains countries... thanks to regulatory laws.

The issue is important.
