It is still not DRM, they just screwed with the disk to make it a non-CD that, in same cases still worked as a CD would. DRM involes it being encrypted, so that you need the right key to use it. The software that has this key will ONLY let you do approved things to it.
GoogleOS is likly writen (if it even exists) as a server OS for Google's clusters, not for a desktop/gaming pc OS. So a word of advice,. don't hold your breath that it will be able to get you any good frags (or that it would even let you see them for that matter) in CS.

It is in fact the 3 part system that you think it should be, however it (for many diffent reasons) spilt up into subparts.
Like if I where to show you the way a file system works i might draw: App->API->driver->hardware when it is more like: App->API->filesystem driver->device diver framework->PCI bus driver->PCI to IDE controller driver->Disk driver It is still in the same 4 parts as it was shown in the first but this( 2nd one) is more detailed. And as this is "News for nerds" surly we should crave the more detailed account.
Well being british and knowing but a vague idea and what El Reg and NTK.NET has told me about copyright law (as is to say not much). Making a large number of copys for any intent other then making a backup and things of that kind might be infriging on the copyright.
But I would think that if you are under the network license you where not subject to the end user one (Well atleast on installs done under the network one). Then again IANAL.
Yes it is true somepeople would think "Hey a protest, just think of who I could harm there", but I would rather think (a most of the time do) they where in small numbers compared to the ones there with the intent to make there voice heard with out going around hurting others. I tend to belive we only hear about "bloodshed" protests as it sells more papers then "advid peace campaners have sit-in outside army base".
About the mob rule, yes I might be an "naive, idealistic" fool, however i tend to belive that most people (and hence most crowds/protests/riots) care more about the colective( socity might be a better word...) then themselfs.
> Oh yes. Because, you know, angry rioting crowds are really friendly once you get to know them.
Well lets start of with this, few sane people go around killing as a part of a riot. That is unless you have really pissed them off. What about getting rid of the cause of the anger? Or even if they go to the rioting stage, why not ask them to sit down a talk about how you can improve things? Yes at times shotting them might be the only thing you can do to stop greater suffering, but that cop/army personal might think "Hey, why not zap them with the nonlethal lighting gun" as the first thing to do rather then the last.
>Nobody (well, nobody except some weirdos like China and so forth) is using weapons (non-lethal or not) against peaceful dissenters.
Yes, but what about that one man in the crowd with a heart problem? Shotting crowd is _always_ going to kill or severely harm someone dispite as "non"-lethal the weapons may be.

The BBC's Royal Charter is what he refers to. The GrandParent appers to of been mistaken in his understanding of the GreatGrandParent. The BBC's Royal Charter gives them to power to colect a TV licence from each household with a TV. It is however bound under the same charter to have adverts for non-BBC progammes and things of that kind. However it should also be noted that BBC also gets money from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. That being said it does not apply to non-profit broadcasters like Channel Four, althou they also receive some money from government offices.

DRM involes it being encrypted, so that you need the right key to use it. The software that has this key will ONLY let you do approved things to it.
But is still not the same as uncompressed PCM.

Should that not be SUN still does not opensource Java?

I would say what it was sold as.
We all know the xbox case would not pass as a game console.

No it is still a game console, just as MS sells it X86 proc, windows NT-like OS and most likly some kb/ms driver and debug port somewhere.
Urmmm, embedded devices are the things that tell that servo moter when to turn, or when it is a in-the-wall device like a ATM.
A PDA or a mobile phone, I can pick and move my desktop that does not make it a "mobile device".

Well on this last thing you said the US police have done such things a quick google for 'police rubber bullets' came up with this http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0407-06.h
Terrorist, go hand your self over to your local CIA or FBI officer and they will only beat you a bit.
(note to mods: just joking please no bad karma me)
Well I was thinking about just not shotting them at all.
You know not harming our fellow man and all.
Yes, but what about that one man in the crowd with a heart problem?
Shotting crowd is _always_ going to kill or severely harm someone dispite as "non"-lethal the weapons may be.

Well we need something to read while we drink our tea.
Oh I am sure someone, somewhere, has all ready ported bochs to it...
I am sorry to brake it to you, but the OSDN is no more we now have the OSTG. Sure you have been getting them paychecks the last year?
Yea I just fragged the VP of sales.
Yes sorry sir, my mouse slipped and I fired by mistake, yes sir I will make sure it does not happen again.
