Yeah, in this case it should be Endeavour, but not because it is the 'british spelling', but because NASA said so earlier.
To that effect, they could have chosen the Klingon spelling as well.
The first one is probably ok, except if there is some other substance that it detects as alcohol. (Perfumes, for example).
The seat belt could probably strangulate someone, and the stubborn steering is as lethal as it sounds.
I'm technologically advanced compared to a cat, as it wouldn't be able to type this message. A cat lives near me for years. I have never eaten a cat, and most likely I won't. I even think, this cat depends on me at least a bit, since it came back once when it fell out of the window. Well, a chicken wouldn't be so safe, lets hope the aliens who find us won't be hungry.
1. the blondie wasn't there to spot hacker terrorists, she wanted to catch undercover FEDs.
2. she was given a chance which she declined.
I bet it was quite a laugh.
"According to DefCon staff, Madigan had told someone she wanted to out an undercover federal agent at DefCon. That person in turn warned DefCon about Madigan's plans. Federal law enforcement agents from FBI, DoD, United States Postal Inspection Service and other agencies regularly attend DefCon to gather intelligence on the latest techniques of hackers. DefCon holds an annual contest called Spot the Fed, in which attendees out people in the audience they think are undercover federal agents. The contest is good-natured, but the feds who get caught are generally ones who don't mind getting caught.
DefCon staff say that Madigan was asked four times -- two times on the phone and two times at the conference -- if she wanted to obtain press credentials, but she declined.
DefCon staff lured her to a large hall telling her that the Spot the Fed contest was in session and that she could get a picture of an undercover federal agent at the contest. When she sat down, Jeff Moss, DefCon's founder, announced that they were changing the game. Instead of Spot the Fed, they were going to play Spot the Undercover Reporter and then announced, "And there's one in here right now." Madigan, realizing she'd been had, jumped from her seat and bolted out the door with reporters carrying cameras chasing after her through the parking lot and to her car."
Actually, i'm sitting in Hungary where there was a recent raid against the local M$ crime gang.
But, Slashdot users just fired cheap jokes about hungary/hungry.
I guess it was only 20 seconds because they were caught. People cannot pretend to be this dumb and expect to get away with it.
Though one year for this is disgusting, it just shows that the USA is in the pockets of the film industry. But you can punish the suckers, send them a mail that you won't go to the next movie because of this case. AND DON'T GO!
If it is elsewhere, then it is definitely due to US pressure.
Mod chips are illegal because they make pirating possible.
There is/was something like the 'broadcast flag'. Overriding it might be illegal, i guess even using a modded an old radio.
Well, i used MSOffice 2003, because it started faster than OO and it is 'more compatible with itself'.
Now our company installed MSOffice 2007 and in response I installed and use OpenOffice.
I won't learn a new text editor just because M$ thinks so. OpenOffice is almost as good as MSOffice 2003.
They start an own OSS site to study FOSS development (to dissect it like a lab rat).
What they fail to see is, that many oss developers wouldn't give their code to them even if they paid for it.
So their study will be very biased and the site will fail.
So yeah, OSS a la M$ is dead.
From TFA:
"The researchers are currently building the first elements needed for the computer, focusing initially on transistors, the basic switches at the heart of all computers."
Insightful? My ass.
One has to make conscious efforts to not rabidly hate M$.
Or have some monetary interest in them.
Back in the DOS ages, there was a virus which replaced all 'microsoft' strings to 'machosoft'
I was wondering why this wanton destruction was needed.
Then a little later there was the stacker story, and the wordperfect story and experienced the utter crap called Windows 3.1/95. I didn't understand why would i want to 'upgrade'. I didn't, but i was forced.
The trend continues, i'm forced to use^Hbuy their crapware (multiple times) when i don't want it.
Have you ever read/heard about the 'halloween documents'?
The sole thing they ever did well was visual studio (C++), but they managed to corrupt it as well.
Well, this argument is not new.
The counter argument is that the garbage collector still lets you eat up memory and causes lots of problems because of delayed destructors.
Catching unfreed memory, overruns or uninitialised pointers is easy with Valgrind. (Eww, not on Windows, but well, cross platform development ftw).
This won't cause them any loss of profit.
Much better would be to PRETEND you download stuff, by going to known RIAA honeypots.
Then hire a good attorney:)

In this case it is the name of a north american shuttle, so, a north american spelling is correct.
I don't think M$ could be/was held accountable for any crapware it pushed out the door.
Next time try this: ht tp://www. oldapps. com/ And tell your friend to omit spaces.

Yeah, people in power will now ask for fatter bribes. But it won't change anything as we all eventually pay the microsoft tax.

I take it was a Backup Exec problem afterall?

More like the spammers are runaway bots of third parties.
DRM keeps honest people frustrated, pirates rich (those who sell cracked stuff to Average Joe), and the RIAA look stupid.

Running Apple stuff on cheap hardware might be interesting to some. Apple wouldn't like it, however.
I didn't know about this (that the first kernel was completely i386 specific) and consider the article interesting.

Yes, it would work, but it wouldn't have much effect on the victim.

I thought the world already suffers the consequences, think of the swedish.
