I mean, that's really a no-brainer. The government is the only entity that has to accept your tender by law, any business can choose not to do business with you for one or another reason, be that your choice of tender (the university, your landlord) or the way you smell (restaurants for example). Legal tender or forced tender is payment that, by law, cannot be refused in settlement of a debt denominated in the same currency. That means that if you want to pay off the university later on (after you did business with them) they cannot refuse your payment in the same currency, that does not mean they cannot refuse the form of payment (truckload of pennies).
There is no federal law prohibiting private businesses, persons or organizations from specifying other methods of payment they choose to accept or refuse, such entitites therefore are free to insist on payment in private currency, for example, or to refuse larger denomination banknotes
The problem that the study didn't take into account is when somebody has another native tongue (but understands the language the garble is written in) like me. My native tongue has similar words to English, similar spellings yet different meanings to the words. So once you start using combinations of letters that have similar words in the native tongue, people get confused.
I know you're joking on the iPhone, but I would like to point out to all you locked-in Exchange users out there: Exchange uses a proprietary form of X.400 over RPC. The datastream contents are filtered with an XOR operation against 0xa5 hexadecimal as 'encryption' and functions identical to IMAP servers out there (I simulated Exchange using IMAP servers before, nobody noticed the difference). Windows also uses a pirated LDAP+Kerberos spec which they oh-so-nicely call Active Directory and they use DAV also for Exchange (Entourage for example)
I didn't know you had to pay for upgrades with Apple. I guess Apple Software Update goes through bittorrent and the pirate bay to get it's updates?
Please, don't spread FUD around. OS X (and each version of it) is $129 unless you recently bought a computer (usually 1-6 months before the new OS), then you can get it free or at a greatly reduced price. You can also buy a family pack (5 licenses) for $199 or if you need more (>10) there are special pricing options. You also get the OS with the hardware and I think (thus I'm not sure) you are free to install the new version you get with your computer on your old computer for your own personal use (no support), for a family member for example you would have to get an extra license.
OS X 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 are not what could be called 'incremental' upgrades since you a) don't need the previous version (as is with Upgrade packs of Microsoft) and b) the features are greatly enhanced between each version.
You could say that Apple uses it's major version numbers to indicate a certain architecture (currently NeXTStep-based), minor versions and codenames for it's iterations and subversions for service packs. Let's not forget the 'oh-so-great' incremental upgrades (paid) Microsoft brought out in the 90's. We had Windows 95, Windows 95 with USB support (oh, a new Windows... now we can finally use our hardware), Windows 97 (which was basically an expansion pack with bells and whistles for 95), 98 (can understand the upgrade), 98SE (what, charging me again for 98?) and ME (95 on crash steroids).
how long will it take for a freedom fighter and his 12 year old son to hack one of these and turn a platoon of these little buggers 180 degrees around.
Yeah, I know, sounds like a bad movie, but a bunch of electronics can be 'persuaded' to fight it's own side than a bunch of brainwashed people.
Well, we're talking about the US here. Yes, there are antitrust laws but nobody even cares to enforce them especially when it comes to Microsoft. Remember the antitrust lawsuits in the US? Microsoft came off with not even a wag of the finger.
Yes they are pulling these stunts every single day. Go to any medium-to-enterprise sized business that has more than one SQL Server. Ah, you thought they really paid that 35000 license per server? Well, yes, unless they agree not to use Linux or MySQL.
Well, I just put a simple forecast in a graphing tool and the trend seems to be good for us (if everything progresses in the steps we are going now, no funky marketing from Microsoft or kick-ass functionality from the Apple/Mozilla camps).
Graphed all of IE as well as separate IE's Combined Mozilla + Firefox (from the W3 Schools data)
Well, Netscape has been dead for a while Opera will continue as is (small raise) Safari will slowly progress (bigger raise)
All IE's combined will keep above Firefox until Q4 2008 into Q1 2009 when IE6 finally will die and IE7 and Firefox/Mozilla will have about 50/50 share of the remaining market (less than 5% forecast to go into Opera/Safari) IE6 will be overtaken by Firefox/Mozilla within a few months (Q4 2007) maybe even earlier and IE5 will die at the same moment (hurray).
Of course there's lies, damn lies and statistics and I didn't count in any of the future updates to either product line.
Why in god's name did they need to plea-bargain? Why does it always seem that to scam artists, identity thieves, and drunk drivers the justice system is a revolving door?
Maybe because the government officials are doing what you describe. They're thieves, scammers and sometimes drunk drivers (especially when driving a law that would actually help us)
Instead of inventing algorithms to detect people and cars etc, the simplest method would be (given that they are standing still to take the picture) having a longer exposure time (2-10 seconds would be ok). That way things moving get blurred automatically, stationary things would be considered part of the street.
Another way of doing it is taking multiple identical pictures at different times and then sampling the people and other things that have moved, out of the picture by combining all the pictures and taking the highest common denominators with a simple algorithm.

NTFS has only journaling on the file system level, not on the file level. It's not a transactional system on each file as what is understood under journaling these days.
Although electricity and the like is simpler to get by than fossil fuel. For your own fossil fuel, you need to drill a hole in your backyard and hope you hit something (not a pipe), try again elsewhere if it doesn't work. I can get electricity from the sun, a windmill, watermill... hydrogen the same, water + electricity. All these things that I can personally put on my ground, relatively simple without having to go to an external company.
If the taxes on fossil fuel get inadequate for maintaining a government, they'll raise taxes somewhere else, don't worry, they know how to get to your money. All of a sudden you'll see your inspection, registration and licensing fees going up or something like that.
In many European countries they tax not only your gas at the pump, but also your car (based on weight, engine, capacity) on a yearly basis, the larger your car, the more you pay. Driving around in a Hummer for example would cost you probably around $3-5k/year (many people include those estimated taxes in their car loan).
The difference is that HFS was good to begin with. Although it comes all the way from 1985 (and incidentally close to my first experience with Mac), it was way superior to the limits DOS had back then (FAT-12?).
Although HFS was upgraded to HFS+, NTFS and later incarnations up till today don't have journaling, something you should expect in just about any OS now.
In my opinion, just about any operating system vendor should switch to an open, posix-compatible, journaling file system.
Well, what you're suggesting is usually a scam and not a way to transfer money to one another.
There are different (good) ways of doing it: -Bank accounts outside your home country - (say, Cayman Islands, Switserland, Farawayistan) -Hardware (as in guns & ammo or even tech gear) or software (people, sex) - (usually used as change, not for large sums) -Gifts (used a lot in political business - sometimes called 'campaign contributions') -Just plain salaries - (you are 'employed' by a shill company) -Non-cash valuables - (diamonds, gold, (stolen) cars) -Rigged games of chance - (games at casino's or horse races that accidentally fall in your favor) -Trust - (you don't pay one another, you just get favors from one another (I'll get you in this senators pocket, you whack Jimmy & Franky))
Ahem... I was there even earlier (I think). Windows 95 didn't do jack shit on a 486 with 8MB of RAM. I had a 486DX @ 100MHz, 16MB of RAM and 300MB disk and it still was slow compared to OS/2 Warp on the same machine. It started working decent with 16-32MB of RAM and a Pentium processor at 75 or 133MHz.
I am assigned to a committee to see how to implement these 'new' laws into our infrastructure. It's really amazing how incompetent these laws are. They require documents to be stored forever or to expire at a certain date, and as soon as it expires, nothing about the document is allowed to be found. So as soon as the document expires, somebody has to go through all backups, tapes, computers, usb sticks etc. and delete all traces of the document.
Not only is it near-impossible to implement, the only possible implementation would be a solution similar to DRM on media, which as we all know doesn't work, since you already have the content at that moment. Of course vendors like IBM and Microsoft would love to sell you their solution (that requires call-back to the central server which has to be accessible from both inside and outside the network (if you would like to use your documents elsewhere than within the office)) which not only costs a horrible amount of money, the implementation itself is flawed (as is any DRM-solution) and has so many requirements that managing and securing the solutions is going to be a major issue.
I think it's disgusting how companies and their lobby push for these impossible laws so they can sell their software.
That's a good thing, then the TCO of Windows would be even higher! Also, all dumb users on the Internet would be bankrupted and not able to afford a fast internet line, more bandwidth for us, less crap on the web.

Well, you should fire your lawyer for putting you through all that extra work. Either that or you are a Microsoft shill. Read up on it, you can release commercial software under the GPL, you just can't take somebody elses work and release it under your proprietary license (you see it's quite honest, you get for free, give for free, otherwise do it yourself). Then again, you don't have to publish the source code for everyone to see, only to the persons you distribute your software to, they however can decide to re-distribute that software.
And I doubt you got the performance you needed from a customized Windows kernel, if so, you must be working at Microsoft since those are the only one that can customize it to a high degree.
Another thing: Linux does have Token Ring support, you just have to compile it in your kernel since no-one uses it anymore and EXT2/EXT3 doesn't need to be defragged since the filesystem is built not to defrag (works kinda like a database).
All your arguments are thus moot and should have been resolved by a simple google search.
And yes, this has been known since the early '90's, wildlife actually never totally disappeared and yes, one generation was screwed up with cancers and freaks but the next generations seem to have overcome that.
Really simple solution to EULA's popping up on-boot: click no (because you should be able to disagree or otherwise strike passages otherwise it is a void contract to start off with) and then install Ubuntu.

Mission Statement
SafeMedia's Coalition Against Internet Piracy (CAIP) is committed to increasing the understanding of the negative impact of Internet Piracy and advocating for the successful implementation of "Clouseau(TM)" by working with Congress and the administration; Departments of Justice, Commerce, and Education; and Copyright Holders and their Associations, Unions, and Organizations to drive greater government-wide efforts to address the serious issue of Internet piracy and the violation of the copyright laws and to recognize that there is now a solution (Clouseau(TM)) to the serious unresolved issue of Internet Piracy.
Mmm... RIAA shill? Just block everything that it can't recognize? Basically a way to push their personal firewall application to have it installed by law? They can't sell enough of their product by themselves?
Coalition Goals
As Congress and copyright holders are in a stand-still watching the erosion of copyright laws, SafeMedia product solutions must emerge as the technological solutions to a political, legal, and social problem created by technology advancement.
Somehow, those persons sound a lot like Hitler. The erosion of copyright law is not in the consumers advantage. With the current status of DRM, DMCA etc, the spirit of the copyright law does indeed get eroded and congress doesn't do anything about it. We as customers are duped by stupid businesses that don't want to change the way they work.
What's so difficult about it? A few screws? I replaced plenty of power sources on iMac's, plenty of hard drives and ram on everything from iBook to PowerBook to iMac (old and new) to Mac Mini, never had a problem. Just make sure you have a soft cloth to to not scratch the surface and make sure you don't lose any screws (especially on the notebook lines).
But then again, RAID6 is terrible in performance compared to RAID5 (especially on write operations) just as RAID5 is terrible in comparison on the same criteria to RAID10 (although it could be faster on non-sequential reads).
Higher RAID-levels are not always THE ultimate solution and depending on your solution you might just have to go for a non-secure RAID level (RAID0) for large media storage with nightly snapshotting to your backup device. Usually it's not all that bad to lose a single day worth of data and if it is for these applications, use RAID10 or so. I do it as follows: get media on RAID0 (HD streams are large and fast on 10k drives) and then as soon as job is done, I copy it to the storage area which is RAID5 on cheap SATA storage and then a nightly copy to an offline backup station (HW-RAID5 with ATA100) of the data I want to keep.
