What, keyboard slow? Seems like you never tried to transfer 3GB of photo's to an iPhone that only has a touchscreen to type them pixel by pixel.. Seriously, keyboard is FAST. If you want slow, try typing down 3GB on a touchscreen.
Back in the day of 2 kbit/s modems, yes it was a pain because it would take a full minute to download a single message, but in today's 1000+ kbit/s world, these messages just ziiiiip right past.
Well, you make profits here in America? Pay taxes in America. Take the factories anywhere you want. But pay tariff when you bring your goodies here.
Yeah, let's have a strong opinion on corporations vs. the government! I mean, it's not you who has to buy more expensive goods if the taxes are high, is it?
And you know the government spends all the taxes on roads and hospitals!
Now a days if US government cuts taxes, the corporations use the savings to build factories in China. So the old argument tax-will-foster-economic growth does not cut it anymore.
Tell me again, how much tax do they have to pay in China? Oh right, they're just moving across the globe to save on shipping costs.
So, what's the difference between an attacker looking for fun and an attacker with a political agenda?
Cyberterror is not a credible threat because we're already up to our necks with spammers, script kiddies, whatever. Whether or not they have reasons to do it other than "I want your money", we don't know and we don't care.
I'd have thought that if an honest person liked the game, they'll buy it before the stage where they start getting good at it and start submitting high scores.
I'm an honest person, and I'll say honestly that I don't give a shit about the cash flow of megacorps.
Especially since the change of brain architecture that happened to post-1950 brains.
[citation needed] What, earlier brains didn't use neurons?
Besides: Games are training for reality.
Oh, that's a good one. I imagine you're trained to always point your gun where you look and leap across fires. And you just step on first aid kits when you're injured.
What percentage of the Windows PCs in China are running a licensed copy of Windows?
If Hungary can be used as a base of estimate, I'd say somewhere between 0 and 1.
We just don't give a shit about your licencing issues. I'm not even sure fair use doesn't cover it for personal use, and I have certainly never seen anyone who didn't run a business and cared. And for the people who do, it's just a drop in the bucket in case of an audit (tax evasion is a national sport here: the alternative is bankruptcy).
I'm puzzled.. Isn't TPB based in Sweden (and elsewhere)??
Finally someone noticed it. In my country, it is illegal for me to read your post, therefore you're sentenced to death. Please visit the nearest suicide booth, or we'll send angry letters at you.
(2) the ability for paying clientèle to combine and distribute MySQL in customizations that they do not want to make available to the public as free/libre software under the GPL.
Umm. Isn't this exactly the reason GPL was born in the first place?
If you want to modify open code, but not contribute back, you either don't use code under GPL or you don't distribute the modified version. Did they talk this through with all the people whose code was merged under the GPL? There is a reason why FSF could move to GPL3 and why the Linux kernel can't possibly do so.

I think you'll be better off with a complete reinstall. Especially if you have /home on a separate partition.

I use Vodafone UK, you insensitive clod!
I'm not sure what applications extremely high frequency vibrations have,
Do you have a CPU?

"Clever" probably isn't the term you were looking for.
Just wait until they develop a security tool named Skynet.
Did you have ownership properly set on that partition?
That said, I want to know if something gets deleted from my data partition. Would you have been annoyed if a virus tried the same and Vista caught it?
except for annoying UAC messages
So I take it you don't like knowing when you or any software steps over the user/administrator boundary?
Whenever I get one of those I didn't anticipate, it's time to hunt for malware.
Yeah ... but dancing bunnies .... it is a tough call.
Don't underestimate lusers. There are 8 year old girls who know more about computers than their parents.

isohunt has them all.
Except the ones who are dead.

A crash test a day keeps the thieves away.
It's a bloody video game. They have no obligation to you to be historically accurate,
Of course not. It's just that most players can't tell the difference between the realistic parts and the fiction.
Godwin's law does not apply here. WW2 is on topic.

People have been using IE5 for years. Don't underestimate the peasants.

Did someone just accuse RMS of supporting commercial licenses anywhere near Free Software?
Possible problem: do we need to factor in some increased wear & tear on the machines for higher temperatures? That would complicate things.
And the increased burnout rate of your sysadmins. But who cares about them, right?
