My school was badly hit by this - our Film and Video department was largely made of Sony digital cameras, and they all died over time. We have since switched to Panasonic, and they have never had to be replaced.
OPSM, the eye-wear company, use Linux for their POS. To my memory, they were using a fairly common GUI, too (KDE or Gnome.) They were using it for sales, and also to bring up info for clients to read.
OpenDocument is actually founded by teenage Communists & Anarchists, just as Microsoft has said all along. Those damn Reds are trying to "revolutionise" the world's documents - one manager at a time.
This doesn't exactly seem much like a loophole, more a feature (It's not a bug - it's a feature!)
By closing it off, does this mean that any CMS that's using the GPL will need a link hard-coded and un-removable back to the source for it to be valid?
"this is the only company I have no problem with if they decide to monopolize the industry."
And that's the exact problem with this. Google is lulling people into believing that their monopoly is an "OK" monopoly; no monopoly is a good monopoly. They're teaming up with the government! You can't get much more monopolistic than that. If Microsoft teamed up with the Government, what would you say?
This is a country where graphic depictions of violence is not only allowed, but glorified, but gets in an uproar over a boob at a half time commercial.
That would be perfectly fine, were it not for the masses that have not yet mastered the "art" of Doublethink. This whole issue reeks of Orwell's 1984 - not only are they strictly banning something which doesn't seem to have any basis in law, but they are simultaneously allowing it and propogating it.
I could go far into the bias of media, and how that's implicated in all this, but that would be going off on a tangent. Instead I leave you with a quote from the book: If one is to rule, and to continue ruling, one must be able to dislocate the sense of reality.
In contrast, a good sized thermonuclear weapon could deliver thousands of times that energy (even taking into account the relatively poor conversion of 100 megatons yield into delta-V).
Keeping in mind I know nothing about nuclear weapons, what would happen if they were to use thermonuclear weapons to divert it, and they hit it, but failed? Would it really screw over earth if it came down, along with all the (I'm assuming here) fallout?
I'm sure there is the market for Microsoft's integration of anti-spyware software (e.g. non-tech-savvy users); however if it is so clear that they are not playing fair, shouldn't PC manufacturers that aim these markets be doing more to protect the users?
This doesn't surprise me, but I do want to see support and change from PC manufacturers, and perhaps an overseeing body for this sort of thing.
While we're on the topic of spelling and grammar: I do believe there is a typo in your sig!
Instead of 'This sig as expired,' should it not read 'This sig has expired'?
Oooh, that's nice, and I accept a plethora of comments to stream past about how we don't need this in a phone, and that a phone is a phone... But don't you just look at this and think "wow... we've come a long way". I know I do.
A great phone by itself, with the addition of lotsa power, i'm liking it:)
... it's the industry. Although I haven't RTFA, I believe that these people should be reprimanded, if nothing else then to push the argument for higher open-standards when it comes to music. Why on earth would someone want to restrict the world from loving their babies!? I say, downloads by donation (for hosting) and CDs at cost. Make a living off a non-creative based job. Isn't that what working is about?
One thing that we should all hope for, is that Iran stays Nuke Free! cause trust me, if it goes Nuke... well god help us all!
That's what they used to say about North Korea... and Russia. These countries don't want to fight, they want to protect themselves, and rightly so. Would have the U.S. invaded Iraq if they had nuclear weapons? I doubt it.
You're wrong, we shouldn't be worrying about them having nuclear weapons any more than any other country. However, we should be worrying about their violations of the U.N. Human Rights (as stated in a previous post). We all know that the U.S. is not going to invade Iran any time soon, they're too good friends, Venezuala is the next target.
Black and White photography is taught at my school, mainly because it is an art-form itself. Learning how to manually develop b&w photography is an excellent skill to have, and increases your appreciation of photography as an art-work.
If 2), then this would be surprising. Most government employees that have sufficient clearance and have been granted access to SECRET material on a need to know basis are pretty well informed about the required Operating Procedures
I was assuming (yes, i know, assumptions...) that users are still going to converse, possibly about the sensitive data, and as such may leak through these trojans monitoring emails.
What I meant was users with physical access to the disconnected networks pass on the information to co-workers through the internet-connected network. It's quite likely, really.
So how the hell would these PC leak SECRET data at all?
IANA, but in my understanding if a PC is compromised by a trojan, there is a lot it can do. Now confidential data may only be held on secure systems, but what happens when Joe from upstairs needs a copy of this, and for ease of work Jim (with a compromised machine) emails it to him, after getting it manualy? A combination of social engineering and use of compromised machines could get you a plethora of sensitive information.
While the NISCC has not been able to precisely trace the attacks' origins, most IPs seem to trace back to Far-East Asia.
There's no doubt that these attacks will create a political spin, which could be their target in the first place. We all know there are many tensions between western and easter countries, particularly North Korea & China, and U.K. & U.S.A. This also goes hand-in-hand with previous stories saying there are highly skilled cracker armies in North Korea. I would say without a doubt that these are politically motivated.
Unseen urban artist people will stencil bar codes on bridges and railroad cars.
Yeah, but imagine the problems with underspray! Plus, it'd be a bitch if you went through your bridges.
A much smarter idea is to laser-print stickers, and put them along your regular art, such as the stencils. Then you get the regular art, as well as the digital:)
Am I the only one feeling that only a minute amount of graffiti fits into the first category?
The problem isn't that there are a lot of graffiti artists who don't do the beautiful art, rather they either can't because it's too hard (i.e. high traffic) or because they're wimps. I do some graffiti art, what I would class as fitting into section 1 and 4, but most of the time it's too hard to get section 1 art in places that are visible. As a general rule of thumb, if you can see it, then you're at risk. Most of my good stuff is on commisioned property, or in places where no-one ever goes.

Or was that a veiled insult to the management?

Dougal & Gammer - 3000 Cycles :)
They need to get it to display: First Post!
I was thinking a "Hello World!" was in order.
They're going to show how bad Linux is by trying to run Australian tax software on it.
Do you know how big an idiot I feel? I had problems with mod_rewrite and .htaccess at the worst possible time, but it's all fixed now :)
Sorry again.

How hard is it to point multiple domains at one site? Not very.
Yes, but in the same respect, how hard is it to have multiple sites per domain name? Not very.
They probably even out quite nicely, in fact it is quite possibly a lot higher than the figures given, with that in mind.

As you would know, Theo, there isFree music available. The lyrics are even about Freedom, so you don't have to have anything to do with Non-Freedom.
Or go one better, and cruise over to mp3.com.au.
