As long as the hardware hasn't changed significantly, they won't have to reactivate, even if they do a full format/reinstall.
What are you talkin about? If you format/reinstall, you have to reactivate. The "don't change major hardware/don't have to reactivate" provision is if you have a running/working system and make harware changes. Once you wipe the OS, you have to reactivate.
The decision to fire a blogger for speaking up [infoworld.com] is proof that Google has a PR department just like any other corporate minded drone army.
The guy had been at Google for like a month (if that) and was telling the world all the things he found cruddy about Google.
Guess what, if you stood on the streetcorner and did that, your employer would fire you too.
Get a grip, the guy was a morn and got what he deserved. If he had worked for me, I would have fired him too.
...when you ask them why you must use plaintext telnet to maintain routers you bought as recently as a year or two ago...they mumble around and then say "have you heard of our self defending networks?"
Um, all Cisco routers come with SSH. If you don't know how to enable it, fault lies with you, not Cisco.
So you believe the people of China have no "modernity, intercommunication and public understanding of politics"? Nor did any of the other examples of the 20th century?
My basic point is that I think we've gotten to the point of society now in many countries where there's no way a domestic, tyrannical political force could come to power. I don't believe the time will come.
That is an awful lot of idealism you hang your hat upon.
Obviously you haven't been paying very close attention. A relative handful of people in Iraq have been able to inflict substantial casualties on the US military. With nothing more than small arms and IEDs.
You still haven't answered the question. How are you going to overthrow your government without a peashooter popgun (as you describe it), since you seem to think it is impossible with such consitutionally protected armaments.
I am curious. In nations with stringent gun control, what is the plan for overthrowing the government when the time comes? (And it has come eventuall to all countries).
How are unarmed citizens supposed to revolt against tyrany?
I see. So I have a $1. I should give that dollar to Microsoft. Who takes 90 cents. Which then gives 10 cents to Bill as salary and stock. Who then takes 9 cents. Who then gives 1 cent to the poor.
Or, I could still have the dollar and give it to the poor myself. Of course, I don't make the newspaper, as I only give in the hundreds, not the millions. Of course, there are also billions of "me"s and only one Bill Gates.
Updates come from the source where you originally got it from. If you got it from mozilla it will fetch from mozilla. If you got it from 3rd party site, it will go to 3rd party site.
You can't prevent the author of any piece of code from trojaning that code, be they Moz Extension Author X, Giant Software Company Y or anywhere inbetween.
I fail to see how this is a Moz/FF issue. It is an issue for any and all software and can not be prevented by technological means. What you are saying is 1) I want to DL extensions from anywhere on the net but then 2)I only want updates to those extensions to come from Moz.org. That is like saying I will sleep with any random woman, but after I do, I will only sleep with them again after they go to the doctor and provide me proof they are not carrying any diseases.
No. The updates are fetched based on what is installed...it won't go hit some random (malware) site looking for an update.
Or are you saying the author of the extension will deliberately trojan it down the road? Well, there is nothing you can do about that with any software. If Intuit wanted to bundle spyware into Quicken, you would get that with your Quicken updates too.
Interesting that there is a capacity to seize land, especially in the United States where the right to property seems so enshrined in your constitution? I'll have to look into this further.
I know you don't think I can see the future but I can. In 2004 we will all be selling the shit out of our basements on eBay, listening to huge music libraries on devices the size of a deck of cards and spending our work days trolling Slashdot.
Now please get me out of this place. I don't like the doctors and want to come home.
What are you babbling about? AIX isn't clean room anything and IBM most certainly does license System V, or did you forget about when SCO "terminated" their license.
Huh? it goes company/product. Microsoft Windows Red Hat Linux
What the hell was so wrong with that? The worst thing RH ever did was kill RH Linux. They now have a very limited community where they used to have incredible word of mouth and devoted supporters.

You're incorrect. Read the TOS.
Can I have a job?
Please?

I think it's time to add to litigious bastards with one for moronic judges.
C'mon, IBM already gave them nearly ONE BEEEELYON lines of code. How could you order more fishing for SCO?
I would expect spammers to send 10 million false domains within the first day of that going live. You got that kind of cash for domain registrations?
The next story will be about the Apple Shuffle.
Dude, your post scares me.

Two words: eminent domain.
It's OK, you can still make a googol of cash
The Democrats stole California from Bush!
" So how does it deal with multiple gunshots coming from different shooters? (i.e., gunfight)"
Nerve gas my friend, lots and lots of nerve gas.
"If they've got 3 cameras per sensor, then each camera would only have to rotate +/- 60 degrees - which doesn't seem like much"
Dude, do your cameras capture 1 degree? You need far fewer cameras than you think.
Not true. Just look at this:
Dear Mom,
I know you don't think I can see the future but I can. In 2004 we will all be selling the shit out of our basements on eBay, listening to huge music libraries on devices the size of a deck of cards and spending our work days trolling Slashdot.

Um, a dupe isn't a new story on the same subject, it's an identical story. (same link(s), etc.).
I think you can attribute that to the geographic size of the two countries as much as anything else.
The USA is HUGE. Many states are larger than most countries. It is thus incredibly expensive+slow to roll out anything land-based like fibre.
The regulatory maze doesn't help either, but the primary factor is the geography.
