Ya know, if his laser pointer had been running linux, there's no way the cops coulda found him! Also, a plane running a linux-based operating system would never fall prey to such an obvious and script-kiddie-esque attack as a laser pointer.
If it decrypts on hardware I own, I have the decryption mechanism. End of copy-protection scheme. Unless I can't touch any of the hardware that it's playing on, I can copy it.
And I'm not meaning I'm an uberl33t crakz0r, someone else will have done the hard work of figuring it out first.;)
Oh sure, Windows may have been fairly usable at 3.1...before that, I'd have to disagree very strongly. Then we had Windows 4.0, I'm sorry '95...5.0/98, 6.0/ME, 7.0/XP...hey it's a fairly decent operating system now!
It only took 10 years and seven versions. I think KDE/Gnome are ahead of the curve.
On a serious side, we said the same thing about this planet, a while back. Something like, there's so much ocean, we can't possibly hurt it by pouring raw sewage into it? Something to think about.
There are only so many doctors available, so we make do with what we can. It's not deliberate, it's unavoidable. More like trying to build a bridge over the Atlantic with two small sticks and some wire.
Streaming video on a postage stamp. Barely-megapixel flashless badly compressed pictures, usually out of focus. I've used the internet on a cell phone. 'nuff said.
I've got a great idea, boys and girls! Let's have a group of stunningly sub-par functions on cell phones, and still not do simple calls correctly all the time!
I'd like to point out that the problem is self-limiting. Once we burn all the fossil fuels, cut down all the trees, and farm the ocean dry, there won't be any more gases to stick into the atmosphere. You just have to think a little more long-term. The earth will settle into the new balance after a few hundred years.
And at any rate, the Egyptians and Babylonians could do successful brain surgery (not just "drilling holes in the head to let the evil spirits out", but successfully brain swellings);
Much like me! I can make your brain swell quite easily, all I need is a second to swing this mallet. See? The lump proves it's working!
Correct me if I'm an idiot, but are you referring to a "Layer 2 Relay", as in nothing more than a bridge between two netwok segments?
Ah, I see, you're referring to something of the same name, patented about six years ago, used for GSM cell phones, with a maximum transfer rate of 9.6kbps, and not a chance of anonymity.

Slow and free?
*shrug* I can use my OSS box to read my SD cards just fine...where's the problem?

Linux is God. QED.

It'd be better if your baby sharks had frikkin' lasers on their heads!

Not really, the U.S. has had similar laws for quite some time, and their filing system isn't all digital like you may be thinking.
Also, they've got enough time built in to the law(minimum 20 days) that they can just charge a fee and run any papers through a copier.
Your analogy is flawed, imnsho.

Also known as the only character with a personality on the whole damned ship.
And no, 7-of-9 doesn't have a personality, just big bazookas. Easy to confuse.
Best programmers or not, straight out of $UNIVERSITY directly equates to inexperienced.
It's the one next to the Evil bit. RFC 3514.
This being /. it would be reasonable to expect a comparison of their ease-of-use under a (for example) RedHat or Debian box, or even BSD.
Anyone know?

And thus, a strong push for the argument that a phone should be just a phone.
I'll bring my gameboy along, I'm sure Metal Gear works better on a platform that games.
Generally people use radar for this sort of thing. And it works above 10000 feet too!
I AM a Chinese torturer, you insensitive clod!

Heck, it worked great for Venus!

This is insightful?
I think you'd be talking system damage on the order of a direct lightning strike.
You've got other problems if that happens, bud.
Netcraft confirms it, concrete d0m3s are dead.

Sure, sure, perfect, then!
