I 'switched' to Linux several times in the past, only to get frustrated and switch back. But Kubuntu has stuck. I'm Windows free for a year now. The reason it stuck this time is simple - with Firefox, Flash 9, Acrobat Reader, and w32codecs, the WWW is now as good on Linux as it is on Windows. I'm surprised more people don't make a bigger deal about this. For me it's huge.
That doesn't work. No matter how many keys the player has and how much thrashing around it does, eventually it has to arrive at the key that goes to the actual data on the disc. You can't get around the fact that to play the movie, you have to decrypt the movie.
We have a right to privacy, free speech, and so on. We don't have a right to indiscriminately destroy the environment to suit our convenience.
Remember back when it was legal to light your house with whale oil? We're getting by without that; I'm sure we'll adapt to life without incandescents as well.
Ah yes, that's what I want. I want the freedom to pay two different sets of patent royalties every time I buy a movie. That'll show those greedy corporations...
You left out the most important part of the Feynman story. Nobody improved security, they just didn't let Feynman around the safes anymore! I would expect a similar reaction from this guy's parents if he roots their PC.
1. Come up with arbitrary retarded 'theory'
2. Post your stupid blog article on slashdot
3. ???
4. Profit!
At least Piquepaille's links were sometimes interesting...
I have an idea, pick the processor you actually want and don't worry about upgrades! In my experience if it's time for a new processor, it's time for a new machine. Mem/hd/gpu make good upgrades but who wants to put a new hotness AMD X4 FX-80 into a slow-ass mobo.
Competition is costly. If nobody's interests overlapped there would be no litigation, crime, war, divorce, etc. It's just the price humans pay due to the fact that there's more than one of us.
So basically, of course we're footing the bill.
I remember a story from WWII about how the Americans had decoded a major Japanese code, and thus were aware of many messages planning a major attack on "AF", but they weren't sure what AF stood for. Nimitz suspected it was Midway Island. Nimitz had a message sent in a weak code from Midway to high command to quickly send a water tanker. Sure enough, soon afterwards a Japanese message was intercepted that read, "AF is out of water."
Anyone that has a Cingular (GSM) phone has probably noticed the trademark buzzing sound that they cause all nearby audio equipment to make before/during a phone call. Granted most avionics cables are shielded I would imagine, but anything that buzzing sound leaks into has GOTTA be affected somehow.
Yes, a laptop isn't going to have the same ERP as a cellphone, unless Pointy Haired Boss doesn't realize that his new cellular broadband adapter is just a cellphone in a PC card...
I find it important to note that this is a hardware patent, the kind that actually makes sense, as opposed to the more controversial Unpatentable Mathematical Algorithm Patent, aka software patent.

Removing the DRM from the computer means that the CD can then be easily copied by that computer. This is like saying DVD-shrink is DMCA kosher because it doesn't modify the original DVD.

I'm a farmer's son, and 'sterile' seed has been the status quo for almost a century. GMO's just a new way of doing it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_seed

Wrong hack. This one actually decrypts the original video file.
Fix your DPI settings. Physical size of text shouldn't be affected by resolution changes.

IIRC Random.org just uses a soundcard and a radio tuned in between channels and collects atmospheric noise. Sounds much simpler/safer.
The CNN Online poll tells different story. It all depends who you ask: http://edition.cnn.com/POLLSERVER/results/24900.co ntent.html

Yeah, things like that are why I'm waiting for the Bushy Beaver release to jump on board...

Anybody know, is this in addition to, or instead of the four movies West said were in the works?
Xboxhacker.net and xbox-scene.com are known sources with a solid track record going back to the beginning of XBOX. This is legit.

CPUID is a CPU opcode that runs directly on the processor. It's not even trappable, so the OS doesn't really have any way of spoofing it.

Doesn't the LGPL permit this?
