Guess what? That's being worked on right now. They already have a good start with Deer Park Alpha 2, and you can download the nightlies via the auto-update. Definitely worth checking out and watching as the patching system finishes.
While you're at it, if you ever have car problems, just chuck the damn thing and buy a new one! Cars are so cheap nowadays, it's more cost-efficient to buy a new car than to fix your current one, what with car virii and over-priced, shitty mechanics and whatnot.
Hmm, interesting idea. A "per-thread" license could do well for us who only need that low-end DB server or for those who need a 16-server array database server to serve us our CS:S stats.
If Apache ever costs money to license, however, PLEASE don't tell them about this or my 260 Apache2 threads will really bite me in the ass! =/
I like my notepads, pens, and Xerox® machines! They're a lot more reliable, don't crash (well, the Xerox jams and shit every so often, but that's usually because someone was copying their 'cheeks and let one loose), and are sometimes faster.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my 8086-powered machine running DOS 4.0. I swear, my company will only upgrade once Microsoft fixes the bugs in 5.0 or releases a compatible 4.1 patch...
If they charged a license per gigahertz of cpu speed, there would be an uproar when your software costs doubled when you upgraded your 1 GHz cpu to a 2GHz cpu.
Well, if they did that, that'd be all the more incentive to get an AMD with its high number of clock cycles compared to the Intel equivalent.:P
What makes you think Google isn't using SPF and Sender-ID for those banners?
Because people like me are constantly marking messages as "Possible Phishing Attacks" via the "More Options" menu. They are pretty good at adaptive filtering considering that's their forte...
Yes, and this is why slashdot is constantly attacking the DMCA. It doesn't protect fair use, so when a situation like this arrises, the benefit of the doubt goes to the content provider rather than the consumer.
Now, certainly this feature has the *IIA's drooling. The theory is sound but the actual use and implementation can be (and probably will be) abused.
Exactly. The way you put it, it does sound like Microsoft's method of making a secure OS, but it also provides the capability to be abused by the content providers who are trying to prevent the "loss" of a few thousand dollars (if anything) by Joe SP and his pirate business.
Maybe DRM wasn't the right word for MS to use when describing their encrypted communications system?
I myself tend to make all my webpages compliant and in such a way that if you were to view the site on a text browser, cell phone, PDA, or whatnot, you'd still be able to see all the content cleanly without affecting the overall presentation of the site. Not only is valid XHTML important, but so is writing it in a logical way. That way, you can write your page nicely in XHTML, apply a stylesheet, and the final product looks great on both GUI and non-GUI web browsers.
I also avoid JavaScript completely (unless I'm designing a web-app that uses it a la Google's usually do, but in those cases, I like to screw around with XUL at the same time) because I just find that it adds no particular value to most sites. Do I really need JavaScript to click a fucking picture in order to see the full-sized version (fapomatic, I'm looking at you)? The "a" tag was invented for that reason, dipshits! JavaScript has generally been the backbone for spawning ads or fixing browser quirks that are only caused by the fact that the site was written using FrontPage and gobs of JPEGs (those of which would be better off as PNG or even GIF) with things that might seem cool at the time but actually aren't. I even have No-Script installed to avoid enabling JavaScript for at least 99% of the sites out there.
Also, I'd like to mention how CSS3 adds on almost any "cool effect" you get from JavaScript hacks in a small snippet of code. Examples include 'border-radius', 'text-shadow', and a lot of pseudo-classes such as:nth-child().
Both the Penitum 4 and the AMD64 follow relatively the same architecture. They both support MMX, SSE, and SSE2 assembly instructions. Code optimised for the P4 should be just as optimised for the AMD64 due to the same support. However, it may have better performance on one or the other depending on which chip has a better implementation of MMX, SSE, or SSE2, or even the x86 architecture.
You can't forget that during Lincoln's presidency, the nation was quite divided, but at least he tried to keep America united, even if it meant going to war with the South to keep them with us. FDR fixed several major issues at the time for the good of the common people of America, not just the wealthy. Here, we have Bush doing his radical doings without trying to keep America united (well, at least not in any viable way).

They call them "Earthbucks" up there.

Is this really a violation?
Yes, and this is why slashdot is constantly attacking the DMCA. It doesn't protect fair use, so when a situation like this arrises, the benefit of the doubt goes to the content provider rather than the consumer.
€399? Fuck dude, I'll just buy the damn HDCP. :P
They region encoded DVDs, China starts pumping out millions upon millions of region free DVD players.
They banned multiple children, China starts pumping out millions upon millions of more babies.
I see your point...

No, that'll be the Water Production Association of America. ;)
Well, I don't know about you, but my apache/logs/access.log file seems to be pretty accurate (other than any referer, browser, or IP spoofing)...
Did anybody watch as Google Earth showed a live demonstration of their servers exploding? It was Independence Day on the 13th!!

Love the W3C; don't fight them.
They had no television. Where are they now?
Watching TV somewhere in Italy I'd assume.

And 4 hours to reinstall Windows after it can't load *.dll in /system32
Not to be a troll or anything, but Bungie tried this, and it didn't work as expected. >_>
I guess he wasn't able to worm his way out of this one.
How about synthetic lawyers, built into Ford robots using Microsoft AI? Double whammy.
Yeah, we'll just outsource our encryption cracking. ;)
