I scanned through the article, and saw no indications that it was or wasn't. Or are the courts being sexiest again and siding with the complainants because they are female?
It will only result in higher prices because they now have a new excuse to charge more, not because its going to cost them more. Why should I have to pay to stop paying, especially when there seem to be few alternatives.
Is that going to be addressed, or just made harder to detect? A spammer can only cause me so much damage, a mistaken government agent can do a lot more.
Even your interpretation of the law is stupid. If I make a space vehicle, and I am in space, I can take pictures of any dam thing I want. You can't own photons. Frankly, that you even are willing to post in defense of this, based on your interpretation, is scary. Leads me to believe that if I was in my spaceship, you would feel justified in having me shot down for taking pictures. Even if it's an old law its still stupid -- they could use some of that tax money to you know, do their work and ensure that laws make sense.
Well a video is all Microsoft has provided, while doing their best to push their operating system onto the XO. And a video is likely all they are using to convince people that Windows XP is the only thing that can make the XO work. I guess the author could have waited for an actual working instance of XP on the XO. But there is no reason to be confident that such will ever come to past. In the meantime, just being to claim that XP on the XO is better is all Microsoft need to achieve their assumed goals.
I personally use Linux as my OS of choice, however, I think that any operating system that can meet the technical requirements AND meet the "open" (as in open software) requirement would be a good choice for the XO. Assuming that the XO works, someday locals could be writing their own software, and customizing and maintaining the operating system and desktop environment. Unless things change radically in the future, this is an impossibility with Windows XP -- ie. owners of Windows XP on XO, regardless of geography, will be forever dependent on Microsoft.
It seems far more likely to me that the government is covering up things they themselves do than the actions of aliens. Furthermore, why would an intelligent species meet with what I consider to be generally the most violent portion of supposedly civilized society, find reason to return, but not take stuff from us.
APC is the only UPS maker on the market that has at least spent some small effort so that their UPSs can be properly integrated with a Linux machine. I made the mistake of purchasing an Ultra UPS as it was cheaper than the APC.
I say go for soft meat with high nerve density, but also high tolerance to blunt force and lack of nearby vital organs. They are dicks, but don't deserve to die accidentally.
So based on no real evidence that he has maliciously done anything, you are fully prepared to declare him a criminal. Should he have hired an apprentice and taught them everything?
I don't see how you can be on slashdot and not think of one area where it must be different by yourself. Hint: torrents don't normally download the first part of a file first, and people tend to watch things from the start.
You can wonder that all you want. But it is a very common situation. Consider the fact that the people most conscious of the dangers of these are often the ones who are "indispensable".
Slashdot Mirror
Web devs, python devs, etc likely don't find it that difficult.
Bad example. In this case it caused innovation.

please explain

It will be interesting to compare the resposnes to this RedHat centric article with the next Ubuntu centric article.

Easy, redefine education.
Would be nice if you could have stayed on topic.

If they NOAA are the good guys? Why do they not do something about it? And why do they have AA in their abbreviated name?

Even if the sysadmin referred to as 'Childs' was a paranoid schizophrenic, does not mean he wasn't right.
Never seen female only scholarships? I have. I've never seen male only scholarships however.

Unless all they want are our bees and ozone.
Don't let him be safe. None of us were from his spam.
Well I am studying in the US, and there have been quite a few power surges that have been subdued by the UPS.

Between Atari's analog stick from way back and nintendo's analog stick? metal poles vs rubber pads with conductors?
I can't (yet) think of any reasons for them not to open up (properly) the format so that OO.org can read it.

Do Japanese make inferior engineers or something?
