Multicasting on the internet (or off the internet, like cable for that matter) only works if everyone is receiving the same data at the same time. The cable company has the bandwidth to serve HD channels to one client all the time.
Harebrained Design might actually be plausible. The Designer was obviously unwilling to refactor our code--I mean, look at how our spines break down within the projected operating lifetime of a human even when used well within operational parameters. Isn't it about time we deprecated all our quadrupedal functions?
It isn't about the big guy versus the little guy; it's about whether the burden of proof should lie with the plaintiff or the defendant, regardless of the circumstances.
Also I think it's because Canada is more liberal than the U.S. I assumed that Canada would have similar laws because as an American I would honestly expect Canadian laws to be more fair than American laws, not less fair as is the case here.
There is a difference between an OS still going under revolutionary updates, and one only undergoing evolutionary updates. Consider that Mac OS X didn't even finalize on launchd or a kernel API until Tiger.
Non-admin users don't get authentication dialogs...because they don't have any sudo privileges. They will need to login as an admin "when needed." The kind of people who are paranoid enough to use a scheme where they have to login as another user just to install an application in case their existing applications are surreptitiously replaced should probably be running OpenBSD anyway.
Administrators cannot write to/System, nor/usr, nor/etc without providing their password. The group admin is not the same as wheel. If installing ordinary programs required a password, then Sony's rootkit would seem no more suspicious than installing, say, a text editor. That would hardly improve security.
The OS X setup is more like allowing a privileged class of users on Linux to install files to/usr/local.
Russia may have loads of shady businesses, but allofmp3 is hardly a fly-by-night operation. There are reasons not to use it, but fraud isn't one; besides, the credit card companies can only hold you liable for $50 of fraud, and many don't bother with that.
Except that Sony could argue that the ruling fits within the DMCA provision providing an exception allowing reversing engineering for the purpose of interoperability.
On OS X, an administrator may modify files in/Applications and/Library and may sudo as root for any command. That's pretty much the long and short of it. There is no reason not to use an administrator account for day-to-day use, nor is there any reason to disable it. You probably shouldn't login as root, but root login is disabled by default anyway.
Are you saying that Huslter and College Sluts 15 was submitted to the MPAA for rating?
There's no reason that obscenity laws couldn't be extended to games; however, there are very few games that even approach the standard of obscenity used for other media.
The 1st amendment limits the government. Private individuals and institutions are not the government. They cannot violate it any more than colorless green ideas can sleep furiously.
Personally I am offended that they teach Newtonian mechanics in the schools. Aristotle was much older and Greek, and therefore a more authoritative figure. And even the scientists themselves will reluctantly admit that Einstein disproved part of Newton's theory! I'm not saying that we only have to teach Aristotelean physics, but it is only fair to be open-minded and teach the controversy.
Honestly I'd rather have straight Creationism taught in the schools than Intelligent Design. ID is not a "weird theory" but an attempt to subvert the very meaning of theory itself. This is why it is such an important issue: teaching children lies is not the worst you can do, since they can later discover the truth on their own. But if you intentionally cripple their ability to think critically by doing things such as equivocating pseudoscience with science, they can be handicapped permanently.

But you could be against eating turkey sandwiches, and even encourage others not to eat turkey sandwiches, and still want them to be legal.

Linux is more like the opposite of rolling cigarettes--you want to unpack everything.
Mine may be crappy, but it has the best name of any blogging software out there: Pheme.

Clearly you aren't Reese Witherspoon, as you can't tell me the difference between and ethics.
That's the Iridium Q36 Explosive Planetary Space Modulator, you harebrained idiot!
When you are writing for a specific hardware platform, however, "universal binaries" means "let's write two sets of code."

William Paley, obviously.
In fact, the PC port of Halo was so badly done that a $500 PC won't run it much better than an Xbox.
It seems that ActiveX is being widely adopted for web apps only insofar as it is used in IE for the XmlHttpRequest.

I don't accept fundamental tenets of science and I vote
Well then, it's a good thing you didn't get put in charge. Then again, it looks like the people who did get put in charge aren't much smarter.
