Of course it was removed: it was critical of Apple. You seem to think this is notable enough to be worth mentioning: it isn't. Apple is every bit as vile and amoral as M$, just with better dress sense. BTW, since your iPhone is a newly released Apple product, not working with win64 is not your main problem: your problem is that your product will soon break, and you'll spend the rest of the warranty period in an endless cycle of return/replace. Sorry to sound like a troll, but I read your post and my first thought was 'what a brain-dead sucker'.
Any country that develops something that the US wants will become a terrorist threat, get invaded and the IP will get sold to Halliburton in a fire sale (as in 'sell it or we'll open fire' sale). So much more cost effective: really, people must get clued into the new Economy2.0 way of thinking.
What HVAC? Have you ever seen the classrooms in a British public school (in the US you'd call it a private school or a prep school)? If you're hot, open a window, if you're cold, wear a sweater. Spartan isn't the word.
.. I found that when I stopped talking about 'computer security' and started saying 'this is a matter of basic hygene' the message got though. People understand the need for hygene while accepting they don't understand the microbiology that requires it, so the metaphor strikes home. They also understand that people with self-respect observe the rules of hygene.
2. I downloaded over 40GB onto the unit, so comms were reliable.
3. Even if the USB connection was bad, the iPod is left in an unrecoverable state (boot cycling, not visible to pc). That's a defect on the iPod: no external problem should be capable of leaving it in that state. Either the design or manufacture is defective.
I've just had my replacement iPod fail exactly as the first one did. On both, iTunes just finished loading my music, said it was safe to disconnect, and the units started boot cycling and can't be got out of it. Anyone else have a similar issue with one of the new 80GB video iPods?
...that men are better at taking IQ tests than women.
IQ tests simply look at a set of mental skills that are deemed to be representative of intelligence. In practice, any intellectual activity requires more than these. In particular, all problems set in such tests are brief: there is no test for integration and planning over multiple small problems.
We need to mount an immediate education campaign to push that figure up towards 100%. It's a matter of basic hygene:when you've finished a task online, you kill the cookies. Not doing so is like not wiping your arse properly: the result is invariably uncomfortable.
I kind of agree. I think the cost is unacceptable (it amounts to a kind of poll tax), but I don't mind in principle being obliged to carry proof of identity.
What does concern me is when I can be asked for it by authorities, particularly the police. I don't want to end up in the position of walking down the street minding my own business and being required to identify myself by some cop because (s)he feels like it.
The occasions where identification may be required must be stricltly and explicitly limited by law, and it must be a criminal offense to demand identification outside those guidelines.
It's also imperative to own your own power station: if you don't control you can't exercise complete control over the hardware you own..
Seriously, there are lots of good arguments for FOSS, but this one is weak.
In fact, no, I don't have to accord M$ any more admiration for chutzpa than i would accord to someone I caught robbing my home who attempted to pick my pocket while I restrained him.

Most software developent is on bespoke, organisation internal, apps. And in practice there will always be some merchant software that is not open sourced.
Even morality aside: you retain copyright to your changes, you're not obliged to release them to anyone: they are yours. All the GPL says is that, if you release the binary to someone, you have to give them access to the source, including your changes, in a buildable, non-obfuscated form, and you cannot restrict (under the licesnse) their right to change and redistribute under the same terms.
However, if you employ someone you can forbid them to distribute the code outside a certain circle, by threatening to fire them if they do.
Whether somone receiving an unauthorised distribution of changed code has a valid license to use the changes (as opposed to the original) under the terms of the GPL is interesting (at least to me). Anyone?

You won't catch many bugs code-reading, but you will keep up the quality and maintainability of your code.
Peter Gutmann wrote an article that I believe explains what is happening here. It can be found at http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_c ost.html

You have much more sex when you're with your computer.

Sorry man, that's BS.
1. It worked fine on my previous iPod

I find it makes me feel relaxed and sleeps after a while.
Of course, if your encryption software doesn't leave a signature in files, you can just deny they're encrypted: let them prove they're not just noise.
lie, and lie again.
Ha, chance would be a fine thing. :-(

I guess you think that Hitler shouldn't have been fought.
I really, genuinely, and profoundly, despise you.

In short, this 'study' amounts to nothing.

I fit them, but only internally: you only ever need them in a situation when you already have the back off the box.

Sellafield is actually at the opposite end of the country from London. Paris, for example, is closer.
