it would seem to me that there is nothing illegal about this whatsoever (as long as you've purchased your copy of OS X, you should be able to do what you like with it).
Sure it's illegal. You have to break Apple's DRM to use it in a virtual machine. That' a direct violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and similar laws in various other countries outside of the U.S.
Usually when the bible or related pagan religions (such as caananite or egyptian) refer to the "four corners of heaven", it's more than likely they're making a reference to the four heavenly calendar points: the autumnal and vernal equinoxes, and the summer and winter solstices. it has been for the majority of human civiliation that the earth has been understood to be curved -- an easy observation for even ancient scientists to make when watching a ship "sink" below the horizon or watching the sky shift as one changes latitudes. A little late, I know, but:
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isaiah 4:10
It doesn't say the four corners of heaven, it says the four corners of the earth. And taken in context, your explanation of the wheel of the year (equinoxes and solstices) makes no sense. The earth can only have 'four corners' if it's flat. It's basic high-school geometry.
4:10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. Daniel's tree is tall enough to be seen from "the end of all the earth." Only on a flat earth would this be possible. 4:11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: --Daniel 4:10-11
Again, the Earth can only have 'ends' if it's flat rather than a globe.
7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. -- Ezekiel 7:2
Again, the earth has four corners...which can only be true if it's flat.
Intelligent Design is not as good a theory as any. It's not testable, it's not falsifiable. It can't be repeapted. It's not based on multiple observations. These problems and more make Intelligent Design invalid as a scientific theory. No matter how you package it, Intelligent Design is religious dogma, not science.
Also, I could modify that last line of yours to say that majority of the religious community used to believe (and some members STILL believe) that the Earth is flat. Based on your post, I should say that you should believe the Earth is flat, too. It says so in your Bible.
I'm assuming that those profits are primarily music based so what amount would you have to offer the world's largest independent music company to be able to release their MP3s without any form copy protection? It's difficult to consider anyone being able to afford this. No one needs to offer EMI anything. Even in the summary, it says that EMI wants to drop DRM in order to compete with Apple's iTunes. Since iTMS sells everything in DRM form, they're hoping (rightly so) that people will get their music from someone that does not do DRM -- or more accurately, someone that will allow them to play their music on whatever player they choose, move it to their home stereo, etc.
I'm using a Radeon Mobility 9200 with the "Radeon" driver and 3D acceleration does work reasonably well. So please stop spreading FUD. Notice that he said "anything greather than a Radeon 9200." I assume that means your Mobility 9200 would not be included in that category.
True, but Ubuntu differentiates itself from Debian in several ways. First off, Ubuntu is based on Debian unstable, and somewhat loosely based at that -- so much so that Debian's leaders have accused Ubuntu of deviating too far from the Debian release. Many Debian packages will work with Ubuntu, but not all -- many Debian packages are ported to Ubuntu by changing compilation options and, most importantly, specify dependencies differently. Ubuntu is a little more liberal when it comes to copyright and licensing -- Ubuntu distributes the proprietary NVidia and ATI drivers, for instance, and provides kernels with these modules pre-built and linked. Finally, Debian's goal is general-purpose distro that consists entirely of Free software, while Ubuntu's goal is to have desktop and server distros that are highly-polished and ready for the non-technical end user. Hence, the default menus and such differ signficantly between Ubuntu and Debian. So it's a bit disingenious to say that Linspire continue to be based on Debian.
Could be a lot of things. Could be a buggy video driver. Could be a bug in DirectX. Always make sure you are up to date on your video driver, video BIOS, system BIOS and DirectX before resigning it to be a heat issue.
Linux, as in referring to the Linux kernel? Not likely, of course, for reasons TFA states.
But to new versions of the GNU toolchain (gcc, gdb, gas, automake etc.)? To new versions of binutils? To new versions of coreutils? Maybe, yes, if GPLV3 looks anything like the current drafts.
What I would like to know is how this discussion violates that law. I don't see anything remotely threatening, just a few people having fun talking about a non-existant 'Agent 99' and their fictitious (and humorous!) exploits.
If you can arrested for this, it makes me wonder how many/.ers have been arrested?
E-mails are not necessarily the sole source of phishing attacks. I seem to remember an attack that involved a piece of malware that changed the user's proxy settings to a proxy that could serve up phishing pages for certain sites. And if I'm not remembering it and it's just an idea I had, then it isn't long before someone does it for real.
You might want to read this guy's story about being an illegal in Prague. Some brief quotes:
My employer didn't even know my last name (and spelled my first name in phonetic Czech), I had no listing, no cell phone, no junk mail. I was officially off the grid.... Eventually I went home, and then returned in good financial standing a year later. I worked about a year, and then ran my own business as an illegal alien. Eventually, I got my papers, but it was no easy task.... Now the point is that the Czechs didn't care that I was already in the country. In fact, I had to show that I had already made connections and had resources. If I had been arrested at some point, I would have been out of the running. If I was a criminal at home, they didn't want me.
...but does anyone else find it a bit scary how you can read news like this on your Wii at night Hmm. I didn't actually know you could read news on a Wii. I'm seriously going to have to get me one of these things. Really.
Anyway, I see/hear about a lot of news on a variety of news channels like CNN, NPR, Google News, etc. and then see it on Slashdot later or the next day. I chalk it up to the format: Slashdot reports news that other sites have already published, as submitted by its readership. Nothing new, really. A lot of Slashdotters probably have Wiis given how 'cool' many/.ers think they are, so it wouldn't surprise me to see Slashdot picking up a lot of stories that appear on a Wii.
The line is from the play 'Julius Caesar' by William Shakespeare. The character who said it was simply called the 'Soothsayer'. The Ides of March (March 15) is the day that Julius Caesar is asassinated in the play.
Actually, OWA on IE since Office 2003 is just absolutely wonderful. Except for the lack of drag-and-drop functionality and lack of functionality for local folders (duh,it's a Web application) OWA on IE is a pretty much a feature-complete version of Outlook (you can still do things requiring drag-and-drop in some other fashion).
And, you can run IE6 and IE7 on Linux, so why not?
But I would like to point out that some of the problems you faced (like integration with MS Exchange server) are simply Microsoft not wanting to release/support/adapt to standards. I know you're not directly blaming the Linux community for your (and the seemingly global) failure in adopting it but what is putting a real big halt on it in the corporate environment is companies working against it. Maybe this will change but I highly doubt it. Actually, in this case, probably not. The difficulty seems to lie in a bug in Evolution. After reading TFA, apparently the author couldn't figure out how to make Evolution 2.8 read public folders. Well, he got it working following some instructions for Evolution 2.4, but sadly, while Evolution could display a list of public folders, the 'Subscribe' and 'Unsubscribe' buttons never appear in the dialog, probably due to a bug.
Not to berate the Evolution developers too much, but I've personally found almost every release of Evolution to be horribly unstable.I say this with sadness because I was once a true believer in Evolution. Like the author, every year or two I try Evolution yet again, but unlike the author I usually give it a chance for about 6 months to maybe a year, and always I find something horribly broken about it: random crashes, data loss/corruption, memory leaks, performance problems, stuff not working (especially the Exchange connector stuff), etc. And sometimes I send in bugzilla reports and they get ignored for months and months. I think the problem has been worse since Novell took over, too.
This one is much cooler than any I've seen. It uses AJAX, so changing things around doesn't require a setup page (unlike Yahoo or Google). You want something? Grab it from the sidebar and drop it onto the workspace. Do want something? Click the "X" and it's gone. Rearrange? Just drag and drop! You can refresh the individual boxes too. Plus you can make custom boxes that you can publish for other users to use, too. Very Web 2.0.
or default to If playing audio then audio instructions listener = off
Yes: for all of you fanbois out there saying "Oh, that's not an exploit!" pay attention to what the parent is saying! You gotta admit, it was huge oversight on Microsoft's part to not include any mechanism for turning off the accepting of audio instructions while playing audio, or at least to have a user-configurable option for protection against this exploit, defaulted to "On".
This is yet another case of Microsoft putting ease-of-use ahead of security and reliablity. We've all heard this song before. Same story, different Windows version.
But all contracts have a "separability clause" that says that anything in the contract that violates the law is automatically declared void without effecting the rest of the contract. So the contract payments et al remain in effect, while the agreement to be evil goes away.
Ingenious, really. That's true of U.S. contract law, but I'm not sure what China's contract laws are like. Anyone know?
No it's not. Such a law won't stop anything from happen, it'll merely move it out of the hands of US companies. I don't think that's a good thing.
Right, but then companies will have no choice but take a 'take-it-or-leave-it stance' with the Chinese government. It's a game of 'good cop/bad cop'. When the Chinese government comes in and says, "give me your subscriber list", the companies can now pass the buck, point a thumb back at Uncle Sam and say, "Huh, sorry, you'll have to take that up with them. In the meantime, the only other thing we can do is stop providing services in your country."

Oooh! You're right. Guess I should've looked at the picture a little closer, because I didn't notice the checkboxes on the side.
Still doesn't change the fact that Evolution is unstable enough to be unusable by most enterprise customers, though.
Close but no cigar.
