It would be nice if the free-marketeers in the White House understood this fact.
They understand just fine. To them "privatization" means socialization of risk and privatization of reward. Basically let you friends make an ass-load of money and then jack the taxpayers with it when everything goes to hell.
Funny, but not without truth. We wouldn't be thinking about extensive antivirus, much less hardware-integrated antivirus if Windows didn't basically have sex with the internet.
Since chances are they already use ICC anyway I doubt there'll be a difference. (Unless there's a secret "crash on Athlon" option which Intel will require.)
Except that nobody actually goes toothing. It's an urban ledgend that was probably created to see if it would become reality if you got enough people to believe it.
If my phone is smart enough to get hit with worms it's really smarter than it needs to be. I want my phone to be able to make phone calls and basically nothing else. It should "just work," be durable, be cheap, and should not require me to pay for antivirus software to keep it functional.
If I want a PDA and an iPod I'll carry a PDA and an iPod.
Independent labels. Plenty of good stuff on those, and they won't jerk you around with high prices and DRM like the RIAAs will. RIAA Radar and eMusic are excellent places to start.
If you do need an RIAA CD once in awhile then getting it used doesn't do anything to the bastards' bottom line.
I'm a mechanical engineering student by major, but have been in a special track set up by one of our professors. Basically we're focusing our studies on building software for mechanical engineering, making us a bit of a hybrid between a conventional mechanical engineers and (userspace) software engineers. This isn't a combination that's often found, and probably not one that can be replaced with cheaper labor.
Of course captain modpoints, the president has no moral obligation to do what's best, he has a moral obligation to cram fundimentalist christianity down the rest of our throats. How dare we believe in science and think that saving the lives of real people is more important than saving the lives of theoretical people?! Bunch of fucking infidels is what we are . . . . .
Exactly, there's really very little difference between doing this and just playing evil on a PvP server. I fail to see why the police should be involved.
Also, that must be one hell of a bot to be able to do this sucessfully enough to get its owner in trouble.
Explain to me how this story serves as proof that this event actually happened. Really, I don't see it. Are spacemen from the future supposed to have come back and given Jesus a fish-cloning ray or something?
I say this story calls for the foot, not censorman. Banning the use of words related to the [thing] because it might hurt those buying ads around [time] in [place]? That's gotta be the third stupidist thing I've heard today, and I've been reading the internet all day.
If it actually flies I'd like to see people talking in terms of "the thing at the place" all the time . . . . .
Cash is suspicious. Use a gift card that you bought with cash at a different store. And use a disguise. Nothing's less suspicious than a guy in a trenchcoat buying a book with blackhat potential with a gift card . . . . . . .
I'm in the same group as you for the most part. I have bought the occasional RIAA album, but I got them used to avoid touching their bottom line. (I do need my Devo and Oingo Boingo . . . . . . )
For indie labels I've found eMusic to be a great deal. Cheaper than iTunes and shipped as un-DRMed MP3. (Which I don't throw onto P2P systems. Partially because I don't know if it's watermarked or not, but mostly because I'll happily return a fair deal with fair compensation.) You may want to check that out.
So in the future I'll get to stand in eLine for three hours while I wait for my turn to have a Kobold Accountant to audit me? For each of my characters? Weeeee!
Plus this doesn't have to be a "two years, run out of supplies and die" sort of deal. Supply drops, additional crew, and additional hardware could be sent every time the positions of the two planets were geometrically convenient. Eventually the resulting colony could even develop the infrastructure to send things back.
Exactly. If I'm gonna give myself cancer I'd rather do it by exploring desolate, irradiated worlds than by standing outside in the cold making some rich assholes richer.
Of course, option three is to do both and feel like you're in Cowboy Bebop.;)

De-Evolution is real.
(I know, there is no real way for one iPod to infect the next, I'm doing a funny rant on market share is why windows is attacted)
Ahem . . .

Does it run like, on regular unleaded gasoline?
Ooh, he wasn't out of points yet . . . .

Someone just had to moderate this flamebait.

Fewer machines on faster connections -> fewer idiots clogging up the network with zombies.

Idiots like these are supposed to die and not breed. Why did they all live?!
What do we pay you for anyway?

But since "commonplace" is every 26 months that means you'll get some this October. Right?

Happy happy, joy joy . . . . . .
No argument here, but I've never met a zombie that could type. Makes things difficult . . . . .
Yeah, but a good flame war can be a marvelous thing. 1000+ comments of psychotics vs idealistic scientists.
Makes a great show for those of us too cynical to see it as a battle worth fighting anymore.
