Indeed. We'll just dismiss "privacy concerns" when we break into your bedroom while you fuck your mistress (or... whatever you call a male "mistress" as the case may be), Mr. Pisano. I'm sure you'll understand.
You're wrong about that last bit. Our ability to express our opinion (that the MPAA is a gang of turd-burglars) is protected by that very amendment, by design.
Even if you WERE going to buy it, you still didn't steal anything. Until you had actually forked over money, the sale did not exist. Projected sales are just that: projections.
Bah to explain. Changing the voltage on a single line doesn't do anything helpful, but when it's done over time in relation to other similar lines, suddenly you have a serial protocol.
Still, I don't quite get why you react that way. Just because you knew then really doesn't mean that you know now! Unless you've got an eidetic memory or something (and in that case, you should put this fact in it: not everyone does)
Well I happen to think that the idea of a degree is obsolete as well. Unless degrees start coming with expiration dates unless you 'refresh' it somehow...
I don't understand your last bit though. You say there is no difference between having known in the past and knowing now. How can you explain that without making no sense at all?
If I used to know how to build a raft (random example) but I no longer remember, then I can't exactly go about building a raft should I need to, can I?
You grabbed onto the wrong part of my reply. That part didn't matter. The important part is that "virii" is jargon, just like "boxen" - neither need to be valid words or grammar.
Jargon is like technical slang - neither cares much about the rules.

There is indeed no honor among thieves.
You didn't even manage first fail. ... you also for got that important little checkbox...

My physics teacher had a slight modification that I much prefer:
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

Something along this idea couldn't be done?
So the collapse of the waveform in relation to the timing of others isn't useful?
Oh, well then.

It doesn't? Then "spooky action at a distance" is entirely wrong and doesn't exist.

Because anything I had to say had ANYTHING to do with US politics.
Two products do not a bubble make.
I think you underestimate just how much data that is...
'superdave80' obviously doesn't eat bananas. No worries.
How about you both shut the hell up?
Just an idea :P
The electoral college makes certain your vote is thrown away regardless. Vote as you like! It's not like it matters!
Your nickname is eerily appropriate to your comment...
... is there some reason you are self-censoring a word that arguably needs no censoring?
You don't censor the words 'vulgar speech' do you?
Here's my $0.02:
Jargon is jargon.
Who decided that Oxford defined the English Language? Who the hell even has the right to make such a decision?
When I build a kernel, I have a whole list of schedulers to choose from...
AFAIK this pluggable scheduler is a more modular thing. Not really that big of a deal as you usually don't change a system's role quite often.
I generally don't toss my desktop out back to play server for the weekend. It's not often that a "hot swappable" scheduler would be useful.
As we have it now, you can select which scheduler to use when you build the kernel. That's not all that bad, is it?
... you haven't tried starting BOINC with 'nice' have you?
