That would suck, but not for privacy reasons. When you put your stuff up there, it's for everyone to see, anyway - doesn't get any less private than that.
The prototype's main feature allows users to prepare documents and forward them in a usable form. Eventually, the FBI expects to have software with added features for managing records, evidence and other documents, along with the ability for users to collaborate on documents and share information online.
Only the government could spend half a billion on that, and still not have it work...The article has limited detail about the software, but I can't see how it could possibly warrant such a development cost.
You break my DVD player, I'll just go ahead and steal some of your movies from DC++, asshole. Don't you people get it? I have a finite space in my budget to spend on your shit. I don't have any more money for you, and if you make me start spending it on new hardware for your ridiculous new standards, then I won't have any left to buy your IP with.
Free markets fail when monopolies are built. That's why we have regulation. Consumers are important private entities too, and the government needs to look out for their best interests.
Maybe I lose a CD I like, and I want to hear it again. Or maybe I buy a CD with copy protection on it but I want to listen to it on my MP3 player (especially since the old stereo I have cannot play most copy protected CDs). Perhaps I found a great album on vinyl, but I have no means of converting it to digital format.
99% of the time that's why I'm downloading music from a P2P network. IANAL, and I don't know what the legal implications of that are. But let's talk in ethical terms: I think very few people would disagree that morally, what I'm doing is perfectly fine - I just want to listen to the music I paid for, and I want to listen to it my way. So, morally, is it right for them to infect peoples' computers when, morally, those people aren't necessarily doing anything wrong?
Actually, you're mistaken. Our laws are less consistent. In my home state, Pennsylvania, it would be legal for me (as an 18 year old) to have sex with a 16 year old girl, but not to photograph her. In the state where I go to school, New York, it's illegal for me to have sex with an 18 year old. In some places it's legal to look at pornography at 18, in others not until you're 21. Everything varies from state to state.
How can you teach English to Korean people if you don't speak Korean? If you do speak Korean, please simply stop trying to learn the game from them in English!
That Google was censoring important search results that should indisputably be in the public domain was a pretty bold assertion to make. It deserved to be corrected immediately where everyone could see it. Of course, as they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - hey editors, why don't you just lay off the sensationalism and avoid making wild accusations on weak premises?
Mount one of these. Years ago, all us neighborhood kids would put regular red lasers on Laser Challenge guns and played at night. We would have gone apeshit over the green ones, though obviously there's cost to take into consideration.
No, there really isn't. This isn't even a case of RTFA, just RTFDescription - indie just means self-published. The product is games that aren't swayed by the same influences as commercial ones, which allows them to be experimental and to address niches that mainstream games ignore (see: Uplink). The purpose of this organization is to provide indie developers with resources that will help them create quality games - it doesn't strip them of their creative independence.
Very usable, perhaps, but it's ugly. It's easy to -talk- about how aesthetics are unimportant, but some of us have clients to please. Certainly I don't think websites should be made in Flash or giant image tables are a good idea, but realistically we need to strike a balance between what looks good and what works well. If it were up to him, design would be all function and no form.
The very same people that believe a nativity scene at a public place some how translates into the government ESTABLISHING a national religion.
Right, because obviously if Bush and the far right weren't running things, it would be the extreme left. It's not like there's no presidential candidates who are basically so moderate they don't take a stance on anything controversial.
I took the AB version - it wasn't very difficult. What struck me as really funny was that, although the "B" part is supposed to be a full semester of class, it was very little - we had to know how to "design" classes, and a very small amount of DS&A (hash tables, binary trees, and qsort, but not a 2-3-4 tree, graph, or path-finding algorithm to be found). According to the policy of the school that I'm going to I'll be able to skip a year of intro CS courses if I get a 5, but I'll want to check the curriculum and make sure the AP was actually as comprehensive as it's supposed to be before jumping ahead.
I've got a (now defunct) iRiver, and though they do look very similar, my least favorite part of it was that I had difficulty reading the LED display - this one's OLED looks much nicer.
Not really. You're suggesting that the industry will actually be able to free its products of security holes. I contest that software will always have security problems, hackers will always find exploits.
Extending the liability of software companies wouldn't result in a couple of quick lawsuits and then "Gee, you know, we've really been slacking off, let's just be perfect so this doesn't happen again." Instead, it would open up a steady and continuous stream of lawsuits (especially in such a litigious nation), and though I'm sure MS would be able to take a hit to its profits, its smaller competitors would most probably not.
They're emulating the old Macintosh GUI by proxy. The point was not to say that Microsoft GUI is bad today, but rather that they were never innovators - they didn't invent the modern GUI, they just dominated it.
Note that C# can use C++ libraries, of which there are quire a few.
Yeah, '#' as sharp is lame. They should've just picked a new name altogether, since C# really only descends from C++ indirectly through Java, but I guess their marketing department figured that if people saw 'C' they'd feel a little more comfortable.

The descendents of the inventors of arabic numerals are sueing all American businesses that used their IP without purchasing a license.
