Nah you've got it wrong - they're twin bothers. When one is gates the other is dressed up as Ballmer! Sort of explains why they're so incoherant - the're in two minds.
Too bloody right. The other day I had to check one of my customer's records in our database. I had to query for a specific customer id in the database and it gave me back the required record. There are around 30,000 records in the database, meaning a success rate of 1/30,000.
My efforts would have been better spent playing some pool.
"We've found a kiddy-porn site using this account number. The subscription amount is X, and payments may have been made between Y and Z. Can you give us a list of people who have subscribed to it?"
Oddly enough the problem was that it wasn't long enough. You should try sitting through the extended edition of ROTK sometime. The additional scenes make it flow much better. It's longer - but it feels a lot shorter.
First of all you're thinking of the wrong bloody country. The IE domain is for the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom.
The majority of Irish people accept evolution, as opposed to a certain other country. The government funds stem cell research, unlike a certain other country. Our politicians don't pander to religious groups when making policy, unlike a certain other country.
That explains a lot. Your view of Ireland is formed by what you've learned form Irish people who left the country in droves in the past. Unforunatly that view is now well out of date.
And, we don't enter another nation after a ten mile drive.
Thats funny, neither do I. In fact, until amphibious cars become widespread, the only other nation I'll be driving to is Northern Ireland. That's one of the problems with living on an island you know.
Training costs a hell of a lot of money. Some guy gets a limb blown off and suddenly all that training and experience is useless (on the front line at least). If limb replacements can be accomplished without serious side-affects then I don't see any real moral dilema.
Guy breaks his leg, gets healed, and is sent back to the front line. Guy loses a leg, gets it replaced, and is sent back to the front line.
You're missing the point. It's not that the hackers who find these exploits wouldn't use them - it's that they're smart enough NOT to use them. Undocumented exploits are worth their weight in gold for online criminals. Why use the exploit yourself and risk getting caught when you can sell it off to someone else for a tidy sum and let THEM risk getting caught.
Hardly a surprise. A number of technical publishers have been releasing programming books as PDFs lately. No printing costs, no shipping costs, no storage costs.
This allows publishers to sell the PDFs online for a fraction the price of hardcopies while having a larger margin on each unit.
Want a hardcopy? Print it out and get it bound. Still cheaper than buying a hardcopy (or free if like me you work in an office with a binding machine).
Treat your children like idiots incapable of making their own decisions and they'll probably grow up to be idots who can't make their own decisions. Establishing ground rules and boundaries is important, but that doesn't mean you have to spy on your kids. Give them your trust and respect. Monitor them if they violate that trust, but at least give them a chance to earn it.
The BPI has promised not to pursue legal action against people who copy music to portable devices. This is not an acknowledgment of fair use. Personally I'll be holding off on the celebrations until fair use if protected by law, not flimsy promises.
No problem there. Gamble away a few of your own dollars and you have a problem. Gamble away millions of other people's money and you're a pillar of the community.
Of course this has nothing to do with 'social problems' from the politicians' perspective. I was refering to the people who will thanks their lucky stars what those folks in Washington are passing this wonderful law to get rid of all the gambling addicts.
After all, it worked for drugs...
Well since the major copyright holders have no stick to force the swedish government to shut down TPB as they havn't done anything illegal, I'll hazard a guess that certain key people got some nice carrots. I highly doubt some wasted public money is going to bother them.
And who will provide support for it? John Q Hacker might have not need it but, but companies like to have someone to shout down the phone at when something breaks.

Now where's my Tesla designed cloning machine?

Sounds specific enough for me.

Or as a great literary mind once said:
"Téim go dtí an siopa ar nós na gaoítha"

It's just common sense.

Is there really that much of a difference?
Apple have a good reputation and as such are held to a much higher standard than other manufacturers.
Unfortunatly it will almost definitely result in an increase in violence against guns.
Or maybe most of those executives are also developers. A company run by people who actually produce something? That will never work...
Odd that. I heard: guaranteed early adopter over here
Legally this is more the equivalent of discussing child porn and ending the article with links to child porn sites. Bloody stupid law though.

Cool. Where do you plug in the handcrank for when the power goes out?

Sure as hell isn't threatening the governor. Last guy who tried that ended up 'dead tired'.
When will people learn that you can't legislate away social problems?
