We once got a resume, for Senior NT Administrator, with a macro virus in it. I'm also reporting a clueful HR person, as she noticed that it was a.dot file, not a.doc
1) Lessig never states that the US is alone in having this sort of law. In the 7th paragraph of the article he states that "America is essentially alone..."
2) A quick scan of some mass media news sites (USA Today, CNN, the BBC, ABC News and Fox News) confirms this, it isn't mentioned at all. Although Fox News and the BBC each get partial credit for a story on the Scarfo case (the keyboard tap and search warrant thing).
3) A Supreme Court decision would be best, but a lower court victory would indicate that there's something so very wrong with the DMCA that even a lower court can articulate the problems.
This is what happend in the OJ Simpson case. The LAPD got caught trying to frame a guilty man. The Juice walked because the police acted dirty. Note that he promptly lost the civil case.
Mortal Kombat would have been vastly improved (and it's fun already) by one thing:
Brandon Lee
It's pretty much Enter the Dragon (one of his father's best films) with a techno soundtrack and a supernatural villain instead of one who's just maniacal. He was born to play this role, it's a pity he didn't live to do it.
The German's did indeed go around the Maginot Line - they went through the Ardennes Forest (in Belgium) which was widely believed to be impassable to large armourd formation. It wasn't.
Paratroopers were used to help capture Belgian fortifications to pave the way for another avenue of assault. Landing on a fortress in a glider isn'y my idea of a fun afternoon, although it would make a great Half Life mod.
The really funny thing about the Maginot Line is that after the Germans isolated it's defenders, they pushed an infantry assault through the Line - albeit only when the battle for France was mostly over anyway.
Actually, Apple is providing drivers for a lot of 3rd party manufacturers to work with OS X and/or their Disk Burner extension (insert blank disk, copy files to the virtual directory created, burn CD when finished). It'll even format an ISOxxxx CD and add PC filename extensions as required.
This also promises to add new meaning to the term 'daisychaining'.

It looks like the Native Americans are starting to get their own back. The Great Plains are turning fallow and the proportion of N.A. population is zooming. They'll own a few states again in a few years.
The title sequence for Battle for Naboo (wait til it's $15) starts with Jar Jar walking onscreen, and being crushed by the title. His cry of pain even sounds like "I'm sorry". I'll have to see about some sort of screen capture.
It's a combination of third-party software and hardware issues. Apple got a lot of flack for not warning people the latest G4 firmware upgrade disable out-of-spec RAM; on the other hand a lot of random Mac crashes are caused by dodgy RAM.
A Mac running 9.1 can be more stable than NT if it's set up right (which takes a lot less than an NT box) and winds up being almost virus free and more secure in the bargain.
On the plus side for the FBI. They had their suspect sit down at the sniffer in Seattle, and then didn't look at the logs until they obtained a search warrant.
However, we're going to piss off a lot of countries if we continue to assert that the FBI can do whatever it wants outside of the US.
Never install anything you haven't checked out online first.
Never buy or install the first release of anything.
Always, always, always wait for reports on firmware updates (fer crissake) above all.
Never buy cheap RAM for anything.
I've been able to 'fix' any number of machines by replacing dodgy RAM. Many random crashes and freezes are caused by RAM that's just slightly off. If you bought something that was out of spec: Deal with it. Either get it replaced by the dealer or slam your head in the door for violating point 4 above.
I agree. I spent a semester in Advanced C doing my other homework in class. reason: The professor spent more than half of the semester talking about programming VGA cards in C. What a waste. 2/3rds of the class flunked the final, I say because the prof focused on implementation details for a specific system, not on writing quality C code.
Access no, but the rest of Office will run natively on OS X (4th Q release). It'll be Unix, and it will run MS Office. That can't help but sell a few boxes. Access, sadly probably won't ever be ported to the Mac. On the other hand, Real Basic can do databases, Filemaker listens to Applescript, and the free RDBMS are being ported. Access no, pretty much everything else - yes.
I hate to say this, but Word is extraordinarily customizable in both menus, shortcuts and toolbars. It has a 'show invisibles' command, which works ok. It may even still have a set of WP5.1 shortcuts. It'll even do white text on a blue background if you're really feeling nostalgic. It's still only a good wordprocessor with Swiss Army Knife Syndrome, not a great one.
ON the other hand, the windowmanager protion of Windows and Explorer both suck. www.iarchitect.com has an extensive critique of Explorer, the Common File Dialog, and the Find function in their Interface Hall of Shame Yes, Apple's Quicktime player is in there too, but for good reason (and I've hacked mine to be more 'normal').
These are the most commonly used portions of Windows itself. And the Mac OS has them beat all hollow.

The real story here is that MSNBC altered a negative article.

And I'd stand in line to buy a (second) USB hub.

I really hope the games are canon.
I'm holding out for a Firewire-based external, I need it on multiple machines. Building anime discs out of VCDs is an obvious application for me.
Not Paying Attention causes soooooooo many problems in today's world. Those caught after the announcement are Too Dumb for College.

We've been lied to by Dell salespeople too.
That'd be an excellent TLD. It'd also leave a lot of scope for some of the international organizations. Many of the UN groups would benefit.

Somehow I just can't bring myself to leave that box checked.
Oh that's funny. Seriously funny.
I've heard that the MPAA is holding Apple back somehow. The reasoning was that the MPAA is a little freaked out by DVDs running on any Unix.
I'm skeptical because Apple already has a license for OS 9, but it's at least somewhat plausible.
