This is probably analogous to censorware for blocking web sites.
I'm a gamer and the blocking software used at my workplace blocks Wizards of the Coast's website (they are the biggest game company, the makers of Dungeon's and Dragons). But none of the smaller companies.
Obscure songs are probably not on the list. Do you really thing they had time to go through EVERY song they MIGHT every play or have requested? Keep in mind they own a buttload of stations.
Of course the flip side of this is that they homogenize things so much, maybe they did have time since the play lists are so small.:-(
This sounds like it's just using HP's VirtualVault product. It does thinks like break up the root functions into separate mini-accounts. (In addition to more traditional IDS functionality.)
Unh, and when did subsistence and tax become
the same thing? Part of the reason we have
a progressive tax system (more or less) is to
make sure the lower income people CAN subsist.
I have taught several 'pure' HTMLers a little PHP and they have always been able to quickly extend their knowledge to do stuff more complicated than the simple code I started them on.
PHP is easy to get started with and from there you can quickly bootstrap your way up to the more complex stuff.
I think you are giving far too much credit to people. Part of the reason people don't 'snitch' is the fear of being found out as the snitcher. The anonymity and various channels to report someone remove this utterly. Additionally, there are apparently incentives for turning people in!
There are no reasonable social consequences to make an angry or unscrupulous person think twice before calling up WAVE and reporting.
Well, this isn't quite as cut and dried as you have it.
Unix is a trademark. Unix 98 is a specification.
All of those Unix-like OSes except Linux are derived from one or both of the original BSD and SysV code bases. This is what being Unix means in this article and usually on/..
Linux was written from scratch. Therefore, it's not Unix in the sense I described above. It is a Unix-clone I suppose.
Of course your point about any OS which follows a Unix specification being Unix is valid too. It just depends on how you choose to define 'Unix'.
Umm, Firewire and USB are not competing standards. Firewire is high bandwidth and USB is low bandwidth.
They no more try to tackle the same problem than say, IDE and parallel ports. Which is to say that there is a little overlap at the high-end USB/low end Firewire bandwidths, but you wouldn't put your primary hard drive on your parallel port. Nor would you put it on your USB hub.
Played copycat with Microsoft by trying to hoard Firewire. Net result: Manufacturers moved to USB. Huh? Firewire and USB are apples and oranges. Firewire is a high bandwidth bus. USB isn't. You might as well say that the regular serial port beat out IDE for use with mice and modems.

Water, or anything else, can never be at exactly 0 degrees Kelvin.
What you are refering to is the triple point of water, were all three states coexist. (Just like at 32 F water can be either liquid or solid.) The triple point of water occurs at 273.16 and when the pressure is equal to the vapor pressures of the solid and liquid state (don't remember what it is, but it's near vacuum.)
Incidentally, the freezing point of water is 273.15 K.

Or censoring what their DJs want to play. Or what I might call up and request.
ClearChannel's business tatics and huge market shared do NOT earn them the benefit of my doubt.

Unh, how can it be a response to Mundie's speech it it was composed before ESR read it? This is more like a response to the announcement.

This is not true. They ripped out the offending stuff, then released. Then everyone saw what a mess it was and started over.
Ah, okay. Well, thankfully we can qualitatively
rate humans on how much money they have and are
willing to spend.
Yeah, right. All that matters is that money is made. To hell with the environment, consumer rights, civil rights, etc.

Ah, so a hate of Java translates into a hate for all high level languages. Thanks for clearing that up.
Okay, so, now where do I go to register chicken.coop?!

Actually, it's 192K on die cache (L1 + L2).

he's refering to the raw number of inscructions
not the number of different instructions.

serious scale economies.

Isn't Mesa just an implementation of OpenGL?
This doesn't seem to fall under the proposed

Doesn't the Dreamcast use WinCE? I wouldn't touch
