This is exactly what I was confused about. If something can run on commodity PCs but requires a 10Gbps connection, it's not something that's going to be ready for prime time for quite a while.
TFS mentions that Freeside makes their money on support. Here's the caveat - you need it.
I spent a full work week, with the assitance of several high level (in charge of thousands of servers, been doing it for 10+ years) admins and perl programmers (Freeside's native tounge) attempting to install it. To put it shortly, the documentation is terrible. I discovered over seventy undocumented modules, not including those modules required modules, that were required simply to even install the thing. We spoke to one of the developers on the project who basically told us this difficulty was intended and let us know he'd be extremely impressed if we got it installed without his help.
So yea, it's free... If you don't mind either paying them to install it or spending an inordinate amount of time installing and configuring it.
The summary mentions hybrid drives, but I can't seem to find any for desktops - am I looking wrong, or do hardware makers assume a desktop user like me doesn't want one?
I stopped locking my car for a similar reason. Nothing in my car is worth more than the cost of a broken window.
I will say that I've lost a few jackets I've left in there during the winter, but, as I said, they were a lot cheaper than a new window.
I think a lot of the pool permit/safety issues deal less with the safety of the builder's employees and more with general safety of the pool like the pool has to be surrounded by a fence of certain height with a self locking door so neighbor's toddlers can't chase a ball over and fall in while playing in the backyard, proper wiring of any lighting/circulation systems in the pool ect.
If the parents watched the kid and kept him out of my yard, we wouldn't have this problem.
Oh wait, this is America. That means that I have to put up a fence because I am personally responsible for someone else's kid trespassing onto my property.
All games go through battle.net so that your progress can be monitored, stats updated, etc.
You call it DRM, I call it stat tracking.
Living in a home with several SC2ers, we've already confirmed that if play a game with all people in your LAN, it will be hosted on your LAN, but you'll still need a connection.
In the tech field, it can help greatly to have an email address at your own domain like "john@doe.com" or "johndoe@johndoe.com" If nothing else, it shows you have some kind of technical know-how.
Plus, it's pretty hard to attach a stigma to something like that.
I think he means something more along the lines of sellers of applications.
As a fan of linux, I can see this being awesome, but it would have a huge dark side. All the *nix only programs that are used to do important thing (like, you know, run the entire internet) would have to be released in Win and OSX forms. (nb, this would still only apply to the ones that actually cost money)
It seems to me that a nuclear device could do this job just as effectively while weighing a fraction as much. And if we happen to get into a full out nuclear war? Well, nuclear winter should cancel out the effects of global warming, and than we'll be begging for our beloved clunkers back!
know who customs is a part of? DHS. Know how often international shipments stall at customs for a few days? All the freaking time. Congrats on getting gamed for advertising yet again, slashdot.
US Customs Service falls under the US Customs and Border Protection agency, a branch of the Department of the Treasury.
The Department of Highway Safety falls under the Department of Transportation.
I can see how this might confuse you. Highways inside the country are often affected by those damned customs officials stopping me when moving from state to state.
It's not DRM -- it's anti-cheating software. So if you are running some sort of scripting or bot program, this thing scans your memory, identifies that program, and kills it. It periodically downloads new identifications for new types of cheat programs.

Ya, but look at the other things it's blocking, including things that range of useful (xpadder) to downright necessary (the driver for my Razer)

Isn't electronic what?
Make you think it's dead, that way when they bring it back under another name, you won't notice.
Also, will a 9-minute ride still be 50 cents?
Inflation adjusted, that's just under $12.00 ... so yea, probably.

But that was two entire months ago!

My skills will be put to use!
Not me. I'm taking an arrogant view of your English skills.
Yea, and in the game, the terrorists didn't speak Russian!
DNS moving from the hands of Verisign and into the hands of the government? Sounds like "Out of the frying pan and into the fire" to me.
I wish I had mod points. I was about to stop reading the thread but then a small sliver of sanity spoke up.
Whatever happened to parents being ultimately responsible for what their children are watching?
This is America, that's what happened.
On a related note, I live in perpetual fear of the current/coming wussification of America.

I thought those crazy japanese were angels, but much to my surprise, they climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies.

for all debts, public and private. Oh, except debts to apple.

It'll get you first post.
and the supreme court can void them
This isn't in the Constitution. It was established BY the Supreme Court in Marbury v Madison.

On another note, didn't we just build one of these and brag about how amazing it was a couple years ago? I know this new one is 7,400 lbs heavier, but on something that weighs as much as these, how much difference does that make? (Honestly, I don't know as IANABombExpert)
Any FBI, DHS, or other agencies, please note this last part.
