I wouldn't blame Sony too much since they're just trying to stop pirates from copying their music
*I* would. Are you seriously saying that if they committed copyright infringement to prevent copyright infringement it's ok because they're preventing copyright infringement? And that rootkitting thousands of machines worldwide is perfectly fine because "they're just trying to stop pirates"? wow! I want what you're smoking!
define "fine". For example, on a small network I admin at a school club, the old 450mhz celeron with 384MB ram running debian with XFCE is *far* more usable than the 800mhz p3 with 768MB ram running XP pro....
heh, my solution was to move ssh to a non-standard port and completely disable password auth (which cause a couple of friends who had access to the box to get pissed at me until they got around to generating keys).
In fact they are encrypted (CSS). Regular DVD players have the decryption scheme built-in since the encryption was built into the standard. See here for info on CSS.
But have you ever tried do any css work in IE? I use drop down menus on my site, and the css+html works fine in any standards compliant browser. But on IE I need to use a suckerfish javascript to make the damn thing work properly.
I don't accept evolution without question and I don't generally attack peoples beliefs (my roomate and good friend is an ardent creationist, we've had some interesting conversations on the issue). I do take offense when people try to make it seem like they have an itelligent point and they don't. You were asked to post an example of something that we can't show exhibits traits of evolution and you pick a cell? the thing that has some of the most obvious traits of it. The thing that is easily comparable to things in the past using fossils.
you said, and I quote: "Can you cite any scientist that has observed one of the earliest cells? I guess we are at stalemate. A matter of faith any way you carve it."
I responded that there was a whole branch of science that studies such things in the past. It's rather well known. The only conclusion I could draw, considering you were claiming to be somewhat educated, was that a) you were trolling or b) you don't accept the fossil record.
My problem with ID is not those that believe in it,or even it's core. My problem with it is when it gets passed off as science. It is not. It is not falsifieable. It is not based on any form of scientific method. It is a faith based issue and has no place in a science classroom, in the same way that current scientific views on evolution have no place in sunday school/hebrew school/$RELIGIOUS_SCHOOL. SO no, I have no problem weith your beliefs, I have a problem with you spewing of garbage and FUD about science you know nothing about. OTOH, this *is* slashdot, so I guess I should be surprised
"whereas in Star Trek, all the women were either aliens or wore short skirts."
Captain Janeway? Say what you want, that character had more balls than Kirk, Picard, and Archer put together!
And I really don't think she wouldve allowed herself to be caught dead in a mini-skirt (though since I havent seen every episode of voyager I could be wrong on that one).
OK, see there's this thing called the "fossil record". We know what cells long ago looked like by examining the fossils of the past. It's a big branch of science. Called paleontology.
Now if you're one of the nuts who believes that the fossils lie (hey, if ID is true and evolution not, are the fossils god's way of playing mind games with us eh?), then I'm not sure what else to say. Hell, not sure I'm feeding your troll anyway.
Since disk mounting is completely integrated into the OS (it's for example how most software is distributed), on Macs it's a little harder to do that. I do know some games don't like the standard mounting that OSX does (like Homeworld2) but I've found that mounting the image using roxio's toast (which shows the image to the system as a disc) works fine. Also, toast doesnt need to be running once the disc is mounted, so there's nothing to check for.
For the record, I do own the games I play, I just don't like carrying around all my cds with my laptop, and I can afford the space.
I just had to do a quick diagramming of a small network I co-admin. I happened to be sitting at a windows machine at the time and did it out in MS paint. It came out pretty well.
how many teens and 20-something year-olds in egypt are saying "damn the official distrib sucks, I'm gonna go download a fansub of the simpsons" the way many here in the states do with anime...

Science takes its cues from Nip/Tuck. How frightening!
no, from Tony Hawk, after all, they just did a faceplant...
Karma, karma burning bright...
and if you get a new pda (eventually) with bluetooth, no need for that dock either...
perhaps the new dock connector the new ipods have? maybe an idea ahead of its time...
just a my $0.02
I even have the wife and kid to prove it!
Ahhhh.. so you mean you're not getting laid *anymore*?
Burn karma, burn!

Sisko is a pussy, flame away :-P
seriously though, you may have a point. OTOH, Sisko is annoying enough in seasons 1 and 7 of ds9 that I don't much like 'im ayway.
oh damn, I forgot to toss Sisko on the not adequate balls pile, consider him added too :-P

well, you see, they started out trying to create seven of nine, but got tired after creating the first six. So they created her nanoprobs instead.
She's lucky.
Nine just has a couple flaky cells.
you forgot the d'oh! blah blah damn time limit blah blah

I'm running Marillat's binary of Firefox Deer Park Alpha 2 for Debian, it seems to not crash with this bug.
