It's not like Apple's changing its name to Tiger. It's just a code name for the CURRENT REV of their OS. It's gonna last, what, 8 months? Then it'll be some other big cat. BFD
There are more than a couple of low-melting-temp alloys that could work. Edmund Scientific had one that would melt in your hand from mere body heat.
High geek factor, too. Where are the T2 references, though?
These camera makers obviously don't want professional photographers buying their equipment. If I (hobbyist) can't use the Industry Standard photomanipulation package (PhotoShop; my own money, too) with my prosumer camera's highest-quality-mode's files, I ain't buying the camera.
Pinhead control freak MBAs have ruined everything.
I deplore those sites as much as anyone, but ugly as they are, apart from the evangelizing, they're not that terribly different from rotten.com, stileproject.com or the _Faces of Death_ videos that have been around for a couple of decades.
Mission creep is the normal tendency of agencies assigned to protect us, especially given an opportunity to dress it up in moralizing sanctimony.
We're certainly ones to talk, the way we flood the planet with games and movies about violent and bloody vengance, or just bloody violence, for entertainment's sake. Or is it OK if it's done in order to make a buck?
Shut down the ones over which you have legitimate jurisdiction. Agitate the proper jurisdictions to shut down the others.
From TFA: Rita Katz, an expert on Islamic terror sites and director of the Washington, D.C.-based Search for International Terrorist Entities, believes a website that posts an execution should be taken out immediately. No matter what the implications are for free speech or other nation's laws, she said. (emphasis mine)
One of two things depending on context.
As a disclaimer, one is asserting that he or she is not actually qualified to dispense legal counsel.
As a qualifier in a personals ad, one asserts that one likes having one's colon irrigated with semen.
Sometimes, it's both.
we don't require a people to be certified to drive a race car
Yes we do - at least for organized races in the US. The SCCA, NASCAR, CART/IRL, NHRA and AHRA all take licensing and qualification (and safety inspections) very seriously.
I heard this one story about a racecar builder who got out of a major speeding ticket by, when the cop asked see his racing license, produced one.
Give the girl a new email address - they're free after all.
And point out to her that all the scary crud that's been arriving has also been hitting her friends' boxes because of the 'mail-a-friend' thing.

You've never heard of Equifax, ChoicePoint, TransUnion, or MBNA?
It's not your information. It's information about you.

Microsoft apparently has fine-grained access, rights and permissions built into WindowsXP. Where are the tools to manage those permissions?
By the way - HOME users need those tools, too. They would (could) go a long way to preventing zombification.

Why would they? Their products are already doing that just fine, thanks.

For the implementers of the USA PATRIOT act? Gads, I hope so.

Never forget, YOU are the PRODUCT being sold to the advertisers. The shows are produced to maximize sales. Of you. To advertisers.
When it's MS doing the imitating, imitation is the sincerest form of flattening.

If you're seeking quotes, see my journal. (yes, this is otherwise OT, sorry)
Teeny, tiny my ass! They'll TRY to separately patent every comma in the spec.
This follows from the fact that what the media originally aired as abuses were merely allegations of abuse at the time.
Although the fact that publicly reporting you've been charged under the act is itself a crime doesn't help.
But that's ... thinking. Something we've been taught to fear - only panty-waist egghead girlymen THINK.

Yet another argument for public-financed campaigns, I think.
