Poison gas *can* cause mass destruction; but it's easier for the secondary effects of Nukes (radiation) and biological agents (sickness, death) to cause problems. Poison gas is only effective over a limited area, whereas radiation spreads and kills people over long periods of time.
Yeah, this sounds like it will have all sorts of problems with things like transferral of goods... things like first sale doctrine will be very hard to use with this system.
if it's anything like steam, they'll get it running. Perhaps you should talke to Stardock and let them know that making impulse wine-compatible would be in their best interest financially; the word of mouth advertising would be pretty effective.
Multiwinia doesn't have DRM as far as I know:) That's a pretty cool-looking game, I gotta say. Introversion does an AWESOME job with their games, in all reality.
But there's a flaw with that - you're still spending *your* resources to keep it at bay; either you're spending your time (answering the door) or money (building a 'guard').
She's in high-school, and is largely non-technical. After someone (myself) told her that it's fine, and gave scientific backup, she was fine. Can't blame her for not knowing it all.
Please, can we stop the fucking hysteria over the LHC? My girlfriend called me wednesday in hysterics because some ignorant bastard told her the world was ending. I explained to her that it's fine, and she's fine now, but for christ's sake, can these idiots perpetuating this fud just either a) shut the fuck or b) learn the facts?
It's not an issue of free speech, per se. It's an issue of "are they allowed to use OTHER PEOPLE'S RESOURCES to do it". That's what it comes down to. If they want to post it on the web, dandy. But the moment they send that shit to my inbox, filling it needlessly, then it's wrong.
This is such a logical problem. It wouldn't be published by e-mail, you're right. Not only that, this is a pathetic appeal, trying to get patriotic support for SPAM. What the fuck.
Truth be told, the new xVM from sun (they bought VirtualBox) is pretty good. Certainly better than VB used to be, since it'll now actually boot windows XP and stuff. If their bare metal stuff is as good, I may just jump ship here.
It's not that we should be worried about... it's this utter bullshit of tax payer dollars investigating civil matters. If the RIAA wants to fucking sue, they can do it with their own fucking money, worthless bastards. Why should *my* tax dollars be used to boost the profits of *any* corporation?
And yes, there's a difference between incentive and handout.
The wireless is encrypted, which wreaked havoc in ubuntu. It's the *wired* connection where they enforce the AV. And they use that bullshit cisco clean access thing to enforce it. Really, a huge waste of money and time.

I defend not what you say, but your right to say it. Go eat the earth flag.
I think you're brilliant.
Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to? :D
Um... I'm in an economics class now, and last semester, and we never discussed this stuff. Maybe it's only a formulas involved that require calc?
Just a quick question: why, exactly, do MBAs need to know calculus?
Please, I'm not following.
No, I said that even after they were told, fairly conclusively, that there were none, they said "Look harder, they must have them!"

Any of a number of Noam Chomsky's books.
"Failed States" and "Hegemony or survival" both talk about this. If you don't like it, too bad, it's the truth. There's documentary evidence of it.
Are you really surprised?
This is the administration that, when told that there *were* no wmds, essentially said "Fuck it, they're HIDING them!"
I wish someone had just assassinated that fucker...

They usually release it, then port it. That's the case here, I believe. In a few months, we'll have a proper linux port.

Plus, they run on Linux natively! :D

yes, but how many people will think "OMG the news says it! I believe that over anything on the intarwebz!!"
Sigh... at least my girlfriend understands that it's fine now. Thanks, /., for giving me the information i needed to calm her down. :D
So, is the hair on the very top of your head any shorter now?

I'm so sick of this...

He makes a good point - all those who wanted to buy homes, but couldn't/didn't due to the 'bubble' are now being screwed.
At least bailing out those two is a better, more helpful use of tax dollars than government enforcing a civil matter...
Maybe I do it because I want to? >.>
And yes, I do bring up porn because I enjoy it.
This will be fun times. :D
Finally, can browse nekobooru in peace

Oh, god... Could you imagine bodily fluids being shot around in space? It'd be like tubgirl but WORSE...
Although, zero-g fucking would be pretty awesome to watch :D
