It could work if the Linux partition were encrypted. You type in your password, they see your unencrypted windows and copy away at the hard disk. They then get a copy of your windows partition and an encrypted partition of whatever. Of course you might then have some friendly people asking what was in that partition later.
"would suggest that when you are writing code that is in excess of 80 columns you might be trying to do too much in one line."
Or perhaps using indentation? I generally find that when indenting lines, with nested type structures (such as a loop within a function within a class within a namespace) half of the space is taken up by whitespace. While this is wasteful in terms of screen space, it aids readability a lot. Remember, 80 characters includes whitespace!
You could probably (from what I have read) make more money being an indy band which only plays regular live gigs pesudo-locally and promoting via word of mouth than you would off a label. It'd take longer, and you would actually have to be decent rather than most of the crap they put out these days, but you would get there. You wouldn't be world famous (or maybe you would, especially if you told/. about it:P ), but you would earn a decent living. And live a happier life too.
Remember, it's the labels that make millions off mass record sales, not the artists (although some do supposedly make a fair bit).
Life + 70 years is a long ass time, I will agree, but is far short of eternal. Read Eldred v. Ashcroft (maybe you already have) to see the arguments as to why life + 70 is constitutional.
It may be reasonable for individuals, but corporations rarely die. It is corporations who own the copyright for most works. Perhaps Mark Twain died in 1885, but who owned the copyright at the time? (I'm not sure whether the grandparent post was correct with his details, but they are conceivably true if a company owned the copyright at the time. It is certain that other works, however, will have a copyright extending LONG past the authors' deaths).
The correct model is one that prevents infections, not one that detects infections. An ounce of prevention...
Which, strangely enough, describes a band-aid. XParent post was technically right that it is a band-aid, he just underestimates the usefulness of band-aids!
One of the reasons it could use replacing is BECAUSE it is growing so fast. I doubt the original designers ever expected it to grow even as large as it is today, let alone designed for it.
Which brings to mind the questions "How come Microsoft are the ones receiving damages when the rest of the world gets diddly squat?" and "Why was he not fined?"
I think the point is that Universities in the US are being hacked far too often and that people's personal information is being easily exposed. The deal is that she successfully hacked something which should be way more secure and isn't a particularly good hacker.
You're right. Fundamentally capitalism is much more evil than communism. It's just that noone has actually ever implemented communism properly as human nature will always turn it into something evil. Because humans are evil, and capitalists.
An extension to that would be to have a textbox into which they have to type a word which they have to read out of the dialog. If you can put up with it for agreeing to a stupid license agreement you can put up with it for the dialog that asks if you want to irreversably delete the contents of your hard disk.
Yeah, but with the AG you can do it on your couch. If there was some way I could try before I buy I would so want to get one of these. It would greatly enhance my dream of "beanbag computing" which I am currently setting up.
People who want that particular community to be positively OR negatively affected I guess... I am sure the movie companies are VERY interested in what effect their actions have taken.
Linux CAN be BOTH. That's why some people use SUSE, and some use Gentoo or Debian. The desktop distros are targetted at grandmas. The "advanced" distros like Debian and Gentoo are targetted at people like you, so why do you care so much about what the desktop distros are doing?
And a compromise IS possible in Linux, in a way it was never really possible in Windows. User groups are actually effective, and a "user" level account is actually usable by grandma, and a "power user" level account is actually usable by a real live power user. And an administrator is perfectly free to shoot grandma AND him/her self in the foot if they so choose.
Who cares that it has been done before ages ago by one company. This article is clearly about the fact that it is now being done to the point that it is no longer the I.T. industry, it's now the B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T. Something that "we" all realise, but many may not.

Unless of course the leak is *on* the board of directors.
But all coders work on java beans, or at least a caffeinated product closely related to them :P
The other countries do not have as much information available, as in these countries the parasites have already gained control of the press!

I would have to agree with everything in that except perhaps for the specific example used at the end.
You need it for wine :P

that something which actually is scalable even exists?

You would think that for artillery corrections they would have the numbers more accessible than the letters not the other way around.

And here I was thinking Linux was about choice...

Or to assassinate all PHB's, once and for (the good of) all.
That some of the sites will stop offering free samples once they discover thousands of /.'ers "sampling" their next mp3 player :P
Or perhaps the 60% who don't exist ;) I hear that there was a state who had more votes for bush than people in the state!
That was an example of a more legitimate case, not the one that the article is referring to which is about a guy suspected of drug trafficking.
