I and around 64% of the country didn't vote labour, so they should only be able to pass laws they can get at least one other party to agree on. Sadly our broken election system means this is not the case. And don't call new labour liberal, because they're far from it.
OK as far as the asteroid, but what about when the sun gets big enough to make it like venus surface on earth? We need to be out on Mars or one of the Jupiter moons by then (iirc ~3 billion years), and another star not too soon after.
Do the excel trick, but only at random, maybe 1 in 10000 every time it runs, and only on spreadsheets that are open at the time. It could stay there for years until someone notices, and the beauty of it is it makes backups useless - you never know how far back the virus was fiddling with the spreadsheets. Another thing I wonder about is a "fast burner". Have a typical mass-mailing worm, release it late on thursday. It spreads as much as it can. Thursday is a popular time for updates, people might delay them to next week, and with luck security people don't like doing weekends so none of them will bother to disassemble the virus. If that's too much of a risk, have it store the payload code encrypted, so all you can see is that it's going to do something at a certain time. Then at 11am on Monday, just after corporate people have turned on their computers and checked their emails for the final burst of infections, bam, it flashes the bios with random data. After 3 days antivirus people and users have probably got their patches out and are realising not to open these emails, so you'll likely be just as successful as any other mass-mailer.
Leave it going overnight, or reniced during normal use. Your system's not going to be doing anything else, so why not have it boost its performance a bit?
Only for the game though. It's often not realistic. How many walls do you see IRL that have exposed electronics? Especially compared to those that are just a plain coat of paint.
It's not just the performance though. I seriously find the detailed walls and fancy weapon flashes distracting. A wall is a wall is a wall as far as gameplay is concerned, so I don't want it to be distracting me.
It could still be factually accurate. In fact, it almost certainly does cost between $20000 and £22000, since both numbers in either currencty would be within that range.
Oh yeah, you can really judge from video clips. Seriously, I prefer the original unreal tournament to 2003, because it performs a little better and the extra polish of 2003 doesn't add anything to the gameplay, it's just distracting.
That's what I'd want to do. So why can't they patch it immediately? I want it integrated into my package management, running all the time, and patched as soon as flaws are known. My linux distro can do that, so why can't apple?
A samba client is just as easy, mount -t smbfs//server/share/mountpoint. But to use it over your home network you need to set up the server too. *I* can set up a NFS server fine, but for joe public it's too hard, wheras the friendly samba wizard is doable.
The current system allows parties to force things through, which is bad. If it was a 3 way split then only those laws which were necessary would get passed. Which is how it should be. Last term there was an average of iirc over 1 law a day being passed, most of them frivolous stuff that shouldn't have got into law.
That's because, even on linux, samba is far easier to set up. Set up samba: add one script to the default runlevel, point browser to localhost:919 (port may be wrong) and go through the wizard. Set up NFS: two scrips need to run, and they have to go after the rpc portmapper, and configuring it involves editing several files in/etc.
Yes, people can. I have myself repeatedly workarounded driver faults by seeing from the blue screen which vxd is the cause and disabling it. If I had the driver source I could also fix the error in the actual driver; I haven't done this myself but have seen it done.
Unfortunately they still can steamroller it. It would take over 30 defectors to stop them even if all opposition parties voted against. We really need proportional representation
When you implement a protocol, you have no obligation to the makers. Even if they want to, they can't stop you. When you use someone else's engine you are only able to do so because they've licensed it so you can. The two cases are completely different. I'm grateful to apple for publishing the spec to make it easier, just as I'm grateful to adobe for publishing the pdf spec - but it's wrong to compare this to apple using khtml code.
Why bother? And you don't need to understand the algorithms to implement them. But seriously, even if you're a bona fide genius it's unlikely you'll do better than mad, in performance and quality, so why do you need to reimplement it? I wrote my mp3 player because I didn't like the UI of the alternatives, I was perfectly happy with the decoding algorithm.
They didn't use their code, they implemented the protocol independently. But to answer your question, they make their whole cvs (now subversion) repository public, with all the changelogs, comments, logs, patches etc. readily available, which is all they are asking Apple to do.
Some of the nazis were good nice people too. I'm generalising, yes, but based on my empirical experience the generalisation is true. We don't insist on seeing everyone before claiming that most people have two legs.

WRT council tax at least, the ~77% of the electorate who didn't vote liberal, since the liberals had pledged to abolish it.

Especially if Mr Blair is there

Break into an interesting system to take a look around?

A hacker/cracker who does illegal stuff but not unethical things.
You're just not looking. For a start, the sims - almost entirely new concept.
It *is* a technology demo. Id makes much more by licensing the engine than selling the games, so the main point of the game is to show off the engine.

I thought the whole point of buying apple was they integrated everything nicely, so you don't need to do things like that
