I think what the GP was saying is that compared to 150k per song for downloading, a $500 fine for stealing the whole CD is rather trivial. Ie in the eyes of the law it's a lesser crime to steal music than to copy it.
It's pretty hard to argue that copying something is morally wrong to begin with, and buying something then unlocking it is legally wrong; at least in the United States (See DCMA on DRM)
"You create a lot of possibility of gaming the system by making the tests standardized, graded by a machine, and having basic cheat avoidance like multiple versions of a test." Fixed that for you.
Why is it a shame? If he was raised to think he was very different from everyone else he might have feigned stupid to fit in. Regardless he'll probably discover in his teenage years that he lacks peers and seek to remedy the situation somehow. Actually with his current ambition to be an actor he may end up facing just as much difficulty as anyone else - and it's not a shame to waste a genius mind on acting. Everyone is entitled to attempt to succeed at their own dreams.
You're confusing the intended purpose of an invention made for and by engineers and scientists, with what general consumers buy their computers for. Computers are marketed as word processors, reference libraries, and entertainment devices; not as fancy programmable calculators with a variety of input and outputs. Of course if you bought your computer to be a fancy programmable calculator, Windows is probably not your first choice of OS since it obscures those capabilities in favor of those consumers generally use.
Some people install linux who would still like to play games, WINE is a long way from a perfect solution, and rebooting is a hassle. Even though I have a dual boot system with XP, I love that I can play neverwinter nights natively in linux and play it more than my other games because of that.
The site claims that the statistics meet quality assurance guidelines, including that there are no major statistical variations that are inexplicable. They fail to state on the site (that I saw) what is the margin of error in their evaluation, but it seems that this is a major statistical variation, and I'm wondering what their explanation is.
IE7 and 8 do not natively support xhtml, they treat the document as SGML and apply SGML rules to it. This means that namespaces, MathML, etc. cannot be supported by that browser, and that it will not fail on invalid content as an xml parser should.
No... see in linux various hardware is made available to the (root) user via the file system. You can, for example, modify the brightness of many laptop screens by echoing text to a file. Of these files, one of them is the mtrr.
I doubt it, Nietzsche rejected artificial morality and the distinction between good and evil. As a language he would be type-less and purposefully unlike conventional languages. I'm thinking LISP, but perhaps someone more familiar with his works can express a better choice.
Besides possibly Canada and Russia, I can't think of many countries where people would live further from work than in the US, at least in terms of distance. Unless you mean to say that you have such a great highway system that they can live further away and it doesn't take as long.
The fallacy of that is that if it was the show that made the ratings it would continue to be popular despite the slot, but as you say removing it from the popular slot kills the show... so it is the slot that makes the ratings?
Slashdot Mirror
Could you please provide a list of independent artists who promote downloading their music for free and are better than the average Top 40 band?

The GP that I was addressing was talking about copying something for one's own use after purchasing it. Try arguing that that is morally wrong.

As others have mentioned this doesn't sound typical. Sun ONE Studio on the other hand use to take forever to load (for me)

I don't think that word means what you think it does...
Amarok isn't a reasonable iTunes equivalent?

NASA had a 3d model of the International Space Station in VRML that you could fly through. I can only find it via CNN now. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/multimedia/vrml/iss/ Neat stuff in 1998.
No no, this is private enterprise. It will be a hurricane prevention surcharge on the microwave power bill.
According to IBM, the name was meant to indicate the goal of eclipsing Microsoft Visual Studio, not anything to do with Sun Microsystems. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Eclipse-Behind-the-Name/

The idea is very old, and contrary to the article there are plenty of people offering similar services: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Rent-Your-Own-Supercomputer-for-2-77-per-Hour-82166.shtml, http://www.hoise.com/primeur/00/articles/weekly/AE-PR-04-00-20.html, http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/4590/2/, etc.
Is their offering cheaper? Unfortunately the article didn't tell us.
Have the egalitarians won? I don't think so, there's just a lot of bad blood considering the current economic climate.
I would suggest wine, but it doesn't look good: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=79
It's 2.6.29 of course, but here's the document that says it: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel
But... the question and the answer can't both exist in the same universe. It would be unstable.
