Parent moderated "troll", but the question needs answering, and the other answers I've read have really missed the mark. - The important side of privacy is not really about whether we'd like others to avoid looking at us or not. That is an issue, but a self-serving one; and there are bigger things at stake.
It's pretty clear that the War of Independance would have never begun if Britain had had the technology and power currently available to the US Government.
The various colonies in North America had meetings that were critical to organising a force and also for turning public opinion.
The US government currently is able to, and obviously does spy on American citizens without the kind of oversight which would allow us to even decide whether it is done for just cause.
Reread that part.We have no way of determining whether they have any just cause.
There are two questions:
How did we get here? (AKA Where did our rights go?)
"The question is in defining which tools are necessary." Not much point defining which tools are required if your toolbox is empty.
"Your blindness is the same as that defined by Douglas Adams in his Hitchhiker's Guide series. You seem to think that you only have to provide a solution, without regard as to whether or not it answers the correct question." I am not blind. I choose which questions to answer.
"By this statement, you demonstrate your own lack of understanding in the concept of humility. I am not the one to teach you." I somehow thought you'd decline...
Some versions can clock up to 2 mhz, and you can add a potentiometer and vary the clock from below 1hz upwards (much below - you could run it at 1 cycle per week).
How cool would it be to slow a game down for a tricky part?
Why should someone who, in utilizing software they have on their computer (that they may even have purchased), be subject to a lawsuit for double clicking on something?
They can neither know that their use of the software is infringing, nor are they in a position to correct or remedy the situation, and they didn't act in any malicious way to commit the infringement, yet the law stands. It is a system that plainly doesn't work.
I think it would be a neat feature to be able to locate other characters in such games that are played by people local to yourself - in-game as it were.
That would encourage get togethers and add a new element to the play.
Gay marriage and abortion may be important issues - but none that should be the concern of government.
To choose an administration based on such marginal subjects is to miss the point.
The two parties agree on more than they disagree on, and use these highly controversial subjects to (incredibly successfully) distract the general public. Ever notice that the public is roughly 50/50 split on most of the issues that were debated the last few elections?
That is an oversimplification.
If someone receives code with the GPL V2 or later license, they can redistribute under GPL V3 (once it's final).
That does not stop someone from receiving it from another source under GPL V2.
The GPL allows the recipient to license others under the same terms. This allows them to license others under GPL V3 (if that was one of the terms).
However, if someone takes a V3 version and modifies it - the modifications will not be obtainable under V2 (unless the modifications are specifically licensed under V2, of course), nor would the whole.
Also, someone who already has rights under V2 cannot lose them by receiving the same software under V3. (V3 may be stricter is certain areas). V3, however, can give additional rights. (There are places where V3 is more lenient)
Lastly, there are many files, even in the kernel, that DO state "V2 or later version". So it may not be hard at all.
Entries could include an indication of the amount of "activity" that has occured, which will give the reader an instant idea if the text is controversial.

There are two questions:
And don't forget Wired - they're the ones who published the documents.
political dissidents, political dissidents, political dissidents, political dissidents and political dissidents.
Although "ideal republicans" and "ideal democrats" count as political dissidents in Bush's book. He doesn't share any values in common with either.
Mod parent up!
Meet me in the arena. Let's see what you're really made of.
I never suggested learning everything in history.

That's nonsense.
You cannot build on the learning of the past until you've mastered it.
You wouldn't even have the slightest chance of solving the 1000 point problems from even the SRMs without previously learning a large portion of CS.
There are none that you could simply figure out "on-the-fly" so to speak. You need the tools.
Come try. We'll teach you humility.
Sad to say - I 100% agree.
Some versions can clock up to 2 mhz, and you can add a potentiometer and vary the clock from below 1hz upwards (much below - you could run it at 1 cycle per week).

Funny?
I would have moderated Insightful.
Fucking awesome comment. Sorry for the expletive - but I think it warrants it.
A large part of patent revenue usually comes from licensing. In fact, many companies license patents as their main source of revenue.
Every RedHat distribution I've ever installed has shipped with KDE.
KDE is very well supported under RedHat. Go bark up a different tree.
No. He's a lunatic with some signs of brilliance.
If Microsoft DOES pull out of the EU market, I'm moving back!

Yeah.
Because "those people" aren't allowed to have opinions.

Most visitors won't know how the hell a wiki works, and therefore a notification on the actual page would clue them in.
And even Slashdotters would have to drill down to know they should drill down because there has been a lot of activity. Catch 22.
