I am still mourning after my ancient mainframe terminal keyboard some 25 years ago, which had function keys numbered from F1 to F35.
We were all shocked in the house when the first original IBM-XT box came in with only ten function keys on the left side. My boss said looking at it: This gadget is unusable, it has no F15 (his favourite 'save' key). So I got it on my table.
It depends on your target audience. For a specialized library maintainer, a user means another specialist in coding.
But some people do not care about others in normal life, why shoud we expect from such to be different in software design? If you are a nerdish geek, you don't value a distorted reality of Clicky'n'Picky ordinal users much high. So there is a need to develop some spiritual qualities, empathy and compassion. Without these, there is no mastery of any craft, not only of software. Craftsmanship maybe, but no mastery.
But certainly I never had compassion for corporations and corporate users. They understand only money. Let them pay for features they want.
Unless these stupid RFIDs become scalar technology, simply using wallets made of conductive plastic would be sufficient for privacy.
Well, my grandfather carried a silver cigarette case everywhere for decades. For me it's stylish and geeky to put some CF cards in it, but putting all RFID money/id stuff in it will be more appropriate in darker times.
Corporate lobbism, corruption, family insiders, elite/golf club membership are way standard of the local politics in any country, any political system. So why should be Microsoft deals be different from, say building industry?
Fortunately, unlike majority of buildings, Windows software is usually self-destructing in halftime of several months, so we should not be bothered about it. Just sit down and wait for another big Slashdot headlines in some near future, such as 'Newham council website defaced by 11 years old' or 'Newham social workers tablet pc network 0wn3d'.
"...a bit more depth about the goals and motivations of the developers."
Freedom of information is not about paying or not paying for commercial content. Freedom of information is about politics, human rights, rulership and ideology manipulation. BBC is on the side of freedom for some time, and currently under heavy pressure from the conservatives.
Letting free codec technology to public now may help in some near future, when independent journalists will be hunted to underground or illegality.
It is not a much wise to solve your situation with C&D letters. You should not offload your own responsibility to others, because it is annoying, risky and ineffective in the long run.
Generally, flaws in any technology setup should not be solved by legal, but by engineering. Try to explore your intellect a little bit why it is so.
Very thanks for the explanation! Now I have a really scientific reason to avoid dancing, action sports and other non-geek activities: shaking is so dangerous to mental health...
Long ago, upgrading cpu with cpu upgrade kit from 386 to 486 and 486 to pentiums was quite a possible deal to boost an old machine up.
In 1997 I bought an Intel(!) mobo with Slot1/celeron buggy cpu. As was advertised these days, I hoped I will buy much better cpu some 2-3 years later instead of whole machine, because in past 15 years, as a developer I was buing a new machine for personal desktop every 2 years.
Unfortunately, no such upgrade was actually available, all "new" Intel processors were either completely different slot/socket or incompatible timig (mobo too slow). Again, in 3 years, I was forced to buy a new machine instead with some new stupid socket, which becomes obsolete today.
So, I do not believe Intel upgrade cpu/compatible cpu propaganda anymore. My new machine is AMD Opteron.
Price factor for any electronics is optimized if based solely on customer lookout:

I have been suspecting american PROPRIETARY software for years of the same danger as Mr. Dowd suspects OSS. Backdoors, intentional errors, intentional exploitable bugs and so on. Reality already proved I was right.
As a solution of this strategic problem, I suggest U.S. military should use only proprietary and let the rest of world use open stuff.
I am fine with using Java in simulations, but hope they do not use it in the final implementation as well. I am afraid that Java's internal garbage collection mechanism would cause... well, a huge collection of street garbage.
As I am beginning to understand symptoms of current american legal culture, I can now easily predict some of the future:
- raytracing/3D rendering software will become illegal - photo editors usage will require a state license - new color printers will monitor what's printed and sending thumbnails automatically to federal office for approval and archiving - in all cases old image techology will be outlawed - painting with oil on canvas will become felony under the "creating unrealistic images" section of the relevant bill
I strongly support that. Glasses saved me an eye many times during hobby work or sporting. And, mostly important, dark tinted glasses looks just cool;-)
Slashdot Mirror
The GEMS program runs on a Microsoft Access database.
It is by design. Every vote has a voter's guid as a primary key, just for check if he voted... eh, "correctly".
But seriously, did anyone else shiver when they read that?
I am living in the middle of Europe and had been a target of U.S. nuclear missiles for more than 40 years. Now, tell me about shivering...
Nope, only positive affirmations work.

Always Use Protection should be read by every parent
I have a better advice: Always Use Protection in order not to become a parent. So you need not to bother with teenagers later.

What you suggest works only if camera has no computer controlled rotator.

The more similar patents, the sooner will U.S. patenting model make itself economically irrelevant and ignored by rest of world.

he is trying to help the military understand
I am afraid "to help the military understand" is an oxymoron no matter which country you live in.
