And when going on about how great the mouse is, the reviewer says 'In some applications, such as MacPaint, I seldom touch the keyboard, except to hold the Shift, Option, or Command key down with my left hand while moving the mouse with my right.'
So if only it'd had enough buttons he'd never have needed to touch the keyboard.
In the UK (at least a few years ago when I was a kid), parents could get their children recorded in their passport, so the children didn't need their own unless they were travelling on their own. I think this only worked for some countries, but I'm reasonably sure I crossed the iron curtain without having my own passport, so I'm not sure where it didn't work for. Do the same rules apply in the US/Canada? (ISTR the UK was planning to abolish this scheme, presumably to cut down on underage terrorism, but I think they noticed that the passport office wouldn't be able to cope with the extra work, so gave up)
I have little faith in Verisign, so I assume that you could easily get the securebank.com cert. If they won't sell it, someone even more useless will. Maybe not for citibank, but certainly for an Your scheme has a minor hole in that you can't use DNS to do the redirect; it'll point to the securebank.com but the browser will still think it's bank.com, and so will expect a bank.com cert. The redirect you're expecting happens at the HTTP level, but the SSL handshake will happen first so they'll still see the warning. However, I'm sure a cleverer mind can fix that hole...
Assunming the bank isn't using a broken proprietary app, it doesn't matter whether the client has seen bank.com's cert before. If the returned cert isn't from bank.com or isn't signed by a trusted root (i.e. verisign etc) then a reasonably scary but quite incomprehensible warning dialog should appear. Some people will ignore it of course; it'd be interesting to know how many.

Well, I can't find the complete list but it exists and was leaked. Actually, I think there are a lot of hereditary peers and baronets who don't use their titles day-to-day. There's not much point in giving them up unless you want to enter the commons.
SCO may or may not be claiming this is a contract case, not a copyright case. It's a bit hard to follow as their arguments are a bit incoherent. (Read a lot of Groklaw to understand this point, especialy stuff relating to IBM's request for a partial summary judgement on their 10th counterclaim) If it is about copyright, SCO appear to be claiming copyright on IBM's extensions to AIX, some of which probably are in Linux, but everybody except SCO seems to think that SCO has no rights over that code so it's OK. Which is much the same as your summary of the BSD/USL case.
The current BSDs are all forks of the version of BSD that was released to comply with this ruling. Which doesn't include the restricted files (those in Exhibit A)
We've always known they were clean. We just hadn't previously known what it was about them that made them clean.
I have no complaints about spammers selling dodgy things to gullible individuals. The only thing I complain about is them causing hassle to non-gullible individuals in the process. So I don't see the relevance of that argument.
They claim they made Thamnes river-water unsafe, which requires doing nothing. They took London tap water (Thamnes river water made safe) and made it unsafe and (according to blind trials) less tasty.
The purpose of this is to de-rail government projects to make a localised frinedly Linux distribution. There's no need to create such a thing because Windows is officialy affordable. In practice, people who are official enough to care about licensing will need real XP, and everyone else will chose pirated copies of real XP. (Microsoft can't admit it, but they'd much prefer people run pirated XP than Linux)
From the look of things, the 2 DIMMs are on 1 channel on 1 CPU, so 3 of the 4 memory channels are unused and the 2nd CPU has to go via the first one to access memory. If I've interpreted the pictures right, this means it'll be a lot slower than a system with a better memory setup. Of course, Hexus don't seem to notice this and don't bother to compare it to a more conventional Opteron with the same speed CPUs (they compare it to a system with faster CPUs so it's not obvious why that system is faster). And fitting more memory channels into that size of case would be a very impressive achievement.
It mostly solves problems that don't exist on AMD

Hyperthreading lets the other thread use execution units that'd otherwise be empty due to pipeline bubbles. This makes a reasonable difference on many applications on the P4, due to its absurdly long pipeline. A more sensible pipeline length (i.e. an AMD processor) means there'll be less benefit to hyperthreading.
I can't think of any good reason why the effects will be different between Windows and Linux.
For instance, those solved by LVM; you can plug in additional discs and they appear as part of the same volume, and they seem to be claiming they do this better than the competition. And there seem to be some other clever stuff (copy-on-write, error recovery). Based on the article (which is useless) they seem to be trying to do similar things in terms of very clever journaling file systems, but I can't see who's best without some facts.
Oh yes, If you happen to be running Solaris 10, it's available while Reiser4 isn't. (If you happen to be running Linux, this isn't true)
For the last few centuries the west has been living off the cheap labour of the rest of the world. But now increasing parts of the rest of the world seem to be breaking free and are able to earn enough to live with some dignity. Whether or not this change is of our choice, this will force us to live like truly civilised people, not like feudal lords who've come up with the clever trick of hiding their slaves on the other side of the world so that we can more easily pretend we live in a world of freedom and plenty.
And getting everyone to set up their own peer review panels would be both inefficient and open to corruption. But there must be some solution. Maybe the funding agency could provide their own peer review panel, which differs from a normal periodical only in that the articles are available for free on the web.
OBEX is really useful for transferring phone numbers to a friend's phone. While you can do this fine with IR, the non-hassle of not having to aim up the slightly illogical parts of the phones where the IR ports have been hidden suddenly makes this a useful feature.
Bluetooth headsets and so on are also useful.
Try running your OS/360 programs on your brand new zSeries box. Apparently they'll run fine. Of course in the mid-80s (2 decades after OS/360 appeared) IBM pretty much owned the mainframe market and most serious jobs needed a mainframe, so I don't think OS/360 did too badly.
You've spotted the reason for all this; it's to prevent a trade in non-transferrable tickets. As well as absurd RyanAir offers, returns cost about the same as singles everywhere, so they want to prevent a trade in return-leg tickets. And of course they want to do it for 'security reasons' so the inconvenience isn't their fault and is all for your benefit.

Which google can't see.
The definition is clear. No parrots, eye patches or dodgy files are needed to be a real pirate.

There your skills are in demand.
It's about time people stood up the RIAA and Wall Mart. I hope both sides lose this argument.

Of course it doesn't really affect security.
