It will all be a moot point if the police come get your HD. BTW, your hosting provider would have to give up the same information, the judge wasn't 'asking'
This isn't a privacy issue. This isn't John Q Citizen doing nothing and getting harassed. For more information please read this.
Alot can be avoided if you give the IRS their money.
If I shred my personal mail by running it through a shredder, it's gone. Why is it that if I "delete forever" my email, it's not gone?
Wow, all of a sudden I feel like I'm doing deskside support. This question has been addressed thoroughly in every single thread that has ever talked about GMail. Google indexes your data, the data exists in more places than one, they cannot guarantee that it will be deleted right away. It's in the terms in conditions when you sign up for GMail.
Personally, I think it was a mistake on the part of the computer designers to allow things to be undeleted. The courts are just taking advantage of this flaw to uncover evidence they normally wouldn't have access to.
dude uhh, this is the internet. Not only that, but it's a post on teh fucking slashdots. The only dire consequences here are when you accidentally click a goatse link at work.
Yes, but that's not the issue. Apple will pull out of France because it doesn't want to agree to their terms. Apple, I'm sure, still wants to sell its products; even to the French.
So the French who want iPods and iTunes can still get one easily, but Apple wouldn't have to agree to any French government terms.
I thought all girls liked Mario Kart;) (I like Mario Kart 64 the best)
Anyway, it is a good choice. The game is designed to keep the races even, by giving players in bad positions a better chance at getting good items.
I play Counter-Strike:Source with my girlfriend. She use to make fun of me, but then I made her play. I wish I hadn't, cause now we have to share the computer:(
Yes, so in this case it would be 'If 100 people rub orange peels on their skin and they all get skin cancer, but then another 100 people rub orange peels on their skin and don't get cancer.'
You are correct in what you're saying, but I don't think that is what Gates was referring (damnit if I have to defend him). He was making light of the fact that they have only so far mentioned the costs of the hardware, which is true. They have neglected to reveal the cost of other things associated with a computer, which are a few more than what he goes on to mention. Sure, the software is free, meaning you don't have to pay for it when you use it. But, I'm assuming (they aren't specific on their website) they will be creating their own Linux distro for this thing, or atleast some of their own apps to run on this. That sort of thing costs money which could then raise the cost of the laptop.
Of course, all of what he says should be taken with a grain of salt, because he was showing off one of his own "ultra-mobile" laptops. Which, I guess, he could feel will be some sort of competition (you know how he doesn't like that).
But I'd still have to say that the 1 laptop per child idea is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard. You'd think kids in third world countries would have other things to worry about, you know, like surviving.
RTFA and maybe you can address a particular point Bill Gates makes. Atleast you stayed on topic. It is definately useless for all of the reasons Gates states and then some; which other Slashdot readers have commented on. Isn't contributing great!
I'm not sure you know, but the votes for political office holders is never unanimous. I know it must be great being Canadian and not having to make decisions that affect lives, but please don't group all Americans together like you are doing. Thanks!
Oh ya, and we didn't vote on whether or not the CIA should torture people, fyi
Sure you can, but the order you decide not to take will be your last. They usually let you live nowadays too! Well, I dunno, they're pretty desperate right now, so they'd probably even ask for you to come back (this happened to someone I know).
Slashdot Mirror
Nope, still a condescending prick.
I believe it's: "\"said that.\""
Of course, I would prob use " ' ' " quotes. Although I'm not one to particularly give a damn; if you can understand it, it's good enough!

Wait, what? Computer designers?! Undeleted?! Courts taking advantage?!?! AAAAHHHH *brain implodes*
You've been here too long to not know that you should RTFA
Thank you for that! But you forgot his sig, it's way c00ler than that
I find it not evil that Google is following the law of the land... Or do you make a living defending criminals?
Yes, wearers of tinfoil hats will still have to hand-deliver all of their self-destructing messages
You're acting like this is big news, GMail tells you all of this at day 1.
Hate to break it to you, if you want privacy you're going to have to actually pay for it. I know, I wish everything was free too.
The studio will now release just three initial HD-DVD titles on April 18: .... and the big-budget screen update of 'The Phantom of the Opera.'
So, this is equivalent to being stuck with WaveRace when the N64 first came out?
0mg d00d, you w3r3 pwnz0rd on t3h int3rn3t5!!! pls stop talking OUT OF YOUR ASS

Are we uhh, supposed to feel bad for Apple or something?
But I asked myself, and I can't figure it out, what would your opinion be if the article was about Microsoft?
Yes, but that's not the issue. Apple will pull out of France because it doesn't want to agree to their terms. Apple, I'm sure, still wants to sell its products; even to the French.

Was it.... was it taking your clothes off sir? Maybe putting them on the lower peg?
Whoooooooo CARES?! Seriously man, don't sweat the small stuff. If you want to be pissed off at something I've got a bag full of 'big deals'.
I don't think you have to agree with either party on every single issue, you just have to choose a party.
ya, VOTE OR DIE!!! [/sarcasm]

LMFAO! Geez, I wish we thought of this sooner. Hitler would have stopped if we kept giving him land!!

Lemme guess, you're some pussy ass liberal rich kid who has never done an honest hard days work?
Next time you think about posting on teh Slashdots, please reconsider, and then go post your hippie bullshit on Digg.com. Thanks!
[grumble]damn canadians
uhh, you're kind of in the wrong place. Here, let me redirect you.
