So, why then do people seem to think it suddenly becomes moral and OK to have those conditions in a place 3,000 miles away? If it's Not OK here, then it's not OK there.
It's not just 3,000 miles away : it's also in another country and they still have the final say about what is ok or not in their own country.
I don't care that much if the exchange goes under for security reasons or whatever.
What I do care about is that my money does not go *poof* so I can continue to live.
If your money is guaranteed by the state you know you're not going to be abandoned just because a bank somewhere made poor choices you did not know about.
The point is Valve came up with Steam Box but all of their own titles are designed for mouse and keyboard, so they needed an appropriate controller or there wouldn't be anything to play. I was wondering how they were going to solve this problem and this controller design was a brilliant solution.
Nintendo and Sony didn't have anything to play with the NES, SNES and the PS1 either. They just made sure games would come out and work with their console and controller. Worked well enough for them.

Put up a website with a really secret webcam out there. You're sure to have thousands of hits.
Considering Sarkozy got only 1% less of the vote than Hollande in the first round, it's far too early to call it. All the folks that voted for other candidates will pick 1 of the 2 in the next round, and considering the massive amount of votes that went to Le Pen...we might very well be seeing more of Sarkozy.
It's a little above 1% for Hollande which is bad for Sarkozy considering I don't think any previous president has ever won without being the lead in the first round by at least 2% or 3%.
Not all Le Pen votes will go to Sarkozy and all things considered, we're looking at an estimated final result 43~45% for Sarkozy and 57~55% for Hollande.
Also, for the whole last year I think all estimates have always given the same result or close in a final duel Sarkozy vs Hollande. Some people in France really don't want to see Sarkozy president again and, try as he might, he could not do anything in the last year to lift this feeling the french people have against him.
Installing Vista slows Vista performance.
Still don't see any reason why someone would use this as an OS over XP right now. It comes bundled with the box.
They really ought to push to outlaw speakers and headphones. After all, if you can hear it, you can remember it, and each time you get an earworm, you are "enjoying" an uncompensated performance of that copyrighted material. Likewise, if you can hear it, it can be recorded. Clearly, analog devices such as speakers and headphones are designed primarily for the purpose of copy infringement and ought to be outlawed. This is a known security hole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_manage ment#Analog_hole, it will be fixed eventually.
I'm a developer too, and i do NOT want root access either.
In fact, on a dev vms station, i had to ask a dev account with LESS privileges so that i could test things that did not require any specific environment.
This is a question of security.
The less privileges i have, the better the chance of all stations to be up and running when I need them.. and the better I sleep:)

They could call and send you an email at least, asking if you really want to make the change.

On what grounds should a game cheater get thrown into jail...
On the ground that they were game cheating ?
A country is still allowed to have its own law, for better or for worse.
But hey, is that any surprise? of course minimising shipping costs is a prime need for Amazon, but why do they have to try and greenwash it?
Well it is harmless public relation.
They could have said smaller packages and efficient distribution will allow more children to receive their packages in time for Christmas.

Why would the law be any different between ordinary civilians, retired officers or not ?

Pile up enough different risks and you can be sure something will go wrong.

Agreed. That is why I do not buy Apple devices.

According to this paper http://www.usenix.org/events/fast07/tech/schroeder .html presented at FAST 2007 (a usenix conference), a disk reporting smart errors has a high probability of future failure.
The entire article is a very worthwhile read about disk failures.
