I've gone from flying the biggest damn flag I could get my hands on right after 9-11 to wanting to wipe my ass with it because I'm so ashamed of our country's actions.
I couldn't agree more. When people ask me where I live, I am ashamed to say I live in the USA.
You might be able to tell if you're being virtualized by doing 1,000,000 non-privileged ops, measuring the time passed, do same with privileged ops. On real hardware you know the speeds should be the same [assuming those ops execute in same # of cycles]. If you're virtualized privileged instructions will be emulated by the host, which should be slower...
I wish stupidity could be made painful so such parents would feel the pain each time they do something like this.
I mean I'm as happy about MySpace being sued as the next slashdotter (hope the place dies a quick and painful death) but this is not the way it should happen...being a bad parent is NOT a good reason to get rich...
allOfMp3.com is my favorite place to buy music. You get non-DRMed mp3s. While they are not allowed to accept Visa or MC payments, you can use their other site to pay, and then transfer the funds
As a PalmOs developer (my software mays for my college), I tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about.
The API is very clear and to the point, and unlike Windows if you want a TextField, you call Fld*, if you want to deal with a form you call Frm*. You call that complicated? And I don't know what application you were writing, but I claim it is doable and in an elegant way if instead of complaining you took the time to read the damn docs!
Actually, if you go to alltunes.com, and register there, the balanace is shared with allOfMp3 (you can refill it at alltunes, and use at allofmp3), AND alltunes STILL works with visa (as they use a 3-rd party processor "CHRONOPAY")
...so I really don't see why they should have complete access to everything...
This kind of thinking brought us slavery (people said this about blacks), Guantanamo (people said this about terrorists), and religious war (people said this about all other religions).
On another note, surely you do not expect this setup to be secure. Why not implant a gps tracker in your kids, and a device to electrify them when they try to leave the house, spend 4 hours interrogating every one of their new friends, and continue in this fashion. This will get you a few things accomplished:
*They will get around all this crap
*They will genuinely hate you
*They will not listen to you (and thus learn nothing actually useful about life)
*They will be as dumb as you about raising kids
Send yourself a file using PGP, decrypt it, and then have someone rename it and the original file to some filenames that do not say which is which. Then go ahead and try to see which went through pgp. Or if you want, compare them (using fc or diff). You will be surprised to see that they are identical. Bit to bit...
Well many many years ago, when people were not so busy being entertained 24/7 they also would have complained about it, would have wanted to know the truth, would have done their own research, etc... In today's america they don't really care at all. As long as they get their football on their TV and their burgers in their McDonalds, there will be a smile on their face and vacuum in their heads.
Yars ago people went to Lincoln-Douglas debates and sat there for hours, and enjoyed it. Today people's attention spans are so short and amount of care for future so little that televised debates have to be made into something like a gameshow for people to want to watch them.
It might not be too late for the rest of the world to wake up, and save themselves, but America is already lost. We have our soma(Surely someone has read "A Brave New World"), and we're very happy with it.
But who will feed all those cpmpanies that make a living on making insulin now? If evetyone is cured where do they go? Anytime any progess on cure is made I assure you they will buy it off and make is dissaper...fast.

Google has my trust unless they prove they do not deserve it. Until then I'd trust them to watch my dog for the weekend. Point is: Microsoft and their Hotmail, eBay and their PayPal, as well as most other Google's competitiors have a record for playing dirty. Be it having to pay $15,000.00 to be un-black-listed on hotmail, or losing $2,000 in frozen PayPal accounts, it is bad history. Google has no such bad history, and I chose to give them my trust. I will reconsider when I am in the least bit unsatisfied, or hear of some problem that concerns me. Till then they are Good and Microsoft,eBay,Skype...are Evil.
I would like to disagree. In fact we are doing a great disservice to those people, as if they get caught (and eventually some will), they will suffer much. In making this available we are encouraging law-breaking and pushing these people into trouble.
Undermining government authority has its limits. This is, in my oppinion, beyond them.

And what is sad: they will win this case too.

What about the features for the OS they're planning to release in 2020 ?
Sure. Here: microsoft.com/windowsvista/features
