Yes, I can hear the howls about options and freedom, but honestly, you have to review your goals here. People like having freedom, but need standards to function, at least as an initial default.
I'm about to start using Linux on my own machine (already use it in the university computer labs). When picking a distribution to use, there are a lot of choices I don't really want to have to make (Gnome or KDE, rpm or deb, etc.). When I care enough to about that sort of customization, then I'll go learn about it.
At that point, the other UIs need to become hobbies, and shed the wasted development resources that could be used by the kernel and or drivers.
I doubt all of the development resources going into one project could really be moved to another. In the case of a commercially-developed product (e.g. SuSE), employees could simply be moved as needed, but volunteer workers work on what they find interesting.
Which might be a concern if we got anywhere here this. With situations where the largest companies control only a small fraction of the stations, this is far away.
Would you mind giving me a list of "independent" stations present in a specific area? Please include only the ones capable of reaching a large number of people (along with what you consider a "large number").
Well, one of those is 100% effective and the other is not... And I think you know which is which.
Promoting condoms is not 100% effective. Promoting abstinence is not 100% effective.
Of the two, promoting condoms is far more effective.
Oh, and it's ALL our fault that someone got a bug up their ass about the US being "Satan" and in "defending the muslim world" decide to slam planes into building killing thousands of people.
Because of the U.S. government's general tendencies, the Islamist firebrands have a very easy job. As for producing the terrorist leaders (you know, the ones who get others to blow themselves up instead of doing it themselves), I doubt U.S. policy has much effect on them.
In Wisconsin, as elsewhere, a contract includes only the terms on which the parties have agreed. One cannot agree to hidden terms, the judge concluded. So far, so good-- but one of the terms to which Zeidenberg agreed by purchasing the software is that the transaction was subject to a license.
... and...
Notice on the outside, terms on the inside, and a right to return the software for a refund if the terms are unacceptable (a right that the license expressly extends), may be a means of doing business valuable to buyers and sellers alike.
(emphasis mine)
In summary, a shrink-wrap license is binding because the buyer was warned of its existence before purchase.
However, the box for Battlefield 2142 includes no such warning.
This really makes me wonder if the hidden terms are still enforceable.
The number above tells us absolutely nothing about gmail's spam-catching ability.
It seemed to me that the number was meant to stand on its own, not describe GMail's spam filter. In fact, it seems that GMail's spam filter is irrelevant here -- it's not how he determines what is spam (everything that gets sent to the account is being counted by the GP as spam). No, I think the lesson to be learned here is that people are getting a lot of spam (e.g. over 800 MB in a week).
In fact it looks like if you just use the browser back button you can submit the same message over and over and let them know what you feel and how it feels.
I just have the submit button open the new page in a new tab. The page with the filled-out form stays there in the front tab, and I can send the same comment hundreds of times in a minute.
The mp3 trojan was more sophisticated, IIRC. It played fine using MP3 players (no infection), but it hid the payload in the resource fork which got executed when double-clicked. It was a proof of concept, so there was no major infection.
We must be thinking of different things here. I was referring to one that really was an.app, with an mp3's icon (the code opened iTunes and played music through it).
Of course they do. Anything that increases productivity that much matters, no matter how much workers get paid.
Hint: money isn't the only limited resource here -- there's time as well.
I have been looking for the malicious file for quite a while and haven't found it, so I'm still left wondering:
Does it actually have a.jpg extension?
The last "mac virus" I saw discussed on slashdot "pretended to be an mp3, but actually ran code." This pretending meant it was called foo.mp3, but it had the.app file extension. Anyone who actually looked at more than the icon would know it was code, not data.

I don't know how many applications the average REU receives, but most are for pretty small groups of students.
How much do you think you'd save by dropping two of those Associate degrees?
So many people forget that part.
And according to the judge in TFA, now that you've made an offer to violate the law, it's entrapment if he sues you for it.
So, suppose someone were to go to China, set up his own WiFi network, and then "lose" the post-it with the WEP/WPA key written on it?
I doubt all of the development resources going into one project could really be moved to another. In the case of a commercially-developed product (e.g. SuSE), employees could simply be moved as needed, but volunteer workers work on what they find interesting.
I'm aware of the laws themselves. Now would you please point me to a case in which SCOTUS upheld these laws?
The sad part is how many people get the two confused.
Any one. Pick one. And then stop dodging the question.
If someone gives me that much to spend on a video-watching system, I'm buying a computer that plays DVDs.
Of the two, promoting condoms is far more effective.
