It *was* better. The ancient Nordic & Celtic "Earth Goddess" (aka "pagan" cultures used this "Lunar Month Calendar" -- al 13 months. When these cultures were conquered, the number 13 was demonized as unlucky since it coincided with womens natural cycle. Therefore the calendar was changed to lop off a month and days were awkwardly shifted around to a 12 month calendar.
So rather tha go back to a natural solution, we want to perpetuate a 12 month calendar???
Just because it's the NYSE doing this, it doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing. It's a big, bad entity.
But what if the entity were an individual? An individual trying to assert their right regarding publication of their trademarked image (i.e., a picture of their face)?
Would you look at the argument any differently?
Whaaa! I can't use a photograph in my story. Whaaa! So what??? Does that stop you from publishing a story about the stock exchange?
What's wrong with taking control on how your image is used? I applaud them and if they are successful, I might go about trademarking my image.
Wouldn't it be nice to have the law on YOUR side when people post photos of you without your okay?
Calm down people. This isn't any different than Mac OS X using Cocoa for the desktop display and still having X11 available to run as another app. And yes (if you've never tried it), X tunneled through ssh works just fine on Mac OS X.
It will be the same thing with the next release of Ubuntu.
The sky is NOT falling.
Just because something *can* be done doesn't mean it *should* be done.
We rely on machines and their metrics because "machines don't lie".
Intellectual curiosity tips the apple cart once again. Bra-vo!
How long before these machines get stricken with malware that turns them into decep-ti-bots???
What about the substandard plugin support for Linux browsers compared to OS X browsers?
Yeah, yeah... I know there are work arounds and work-almost-alikes, but who wants to maintain that?
After all, in this case, the computer is acting like an information appliance. I don't want to re-engine my blender just to get it to work the way I want. I buy the one that *fits* my needs. Same goes here.

Reading helps.... the PROTECT IP act is *NOT* the PATRIOT act. Two different things entirely.

The article looks like little more than an advertisement for "FaceTime's Socialite or Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls".

Geoworks demonstrated this on the San Francisco local news back in 2000.

A focused EMP beam from a gun? What a great way to destroy video cameras & alarm systems! It sure would make robbery a LOT easier.
