Indeed. Great developers steal, right? Maybe it's not good for Apple or Microsoft or their lawyers, but anything that generates a little competition (and maybe even a little bit of innovation) is good for the consumer.
This threat, however far-fetched, seems particularly relevant in light of the U.S. government's decision in May to use computers built by Lenovo only for processing unclassified data. The Chinese government owns 28% of Lenovo, information that has sparked fears of espionage. As it turns out, numerous keyboards are also manufactured in China.
On the proposed DVD album, the main audio mix is to be protected by the same software that already protects the content on normal DVDs.
If they mean CSS, hasn't that been cracked for, like, years? So it should be *possible* to copy the music. (Of course, if you can't copy the songs with iTunes or WMP, it is protected from most users.)
If they already have problems with power, etc., how will they get a broadband Internet connection? I guess you could use WDS or something to extend the range, but I don't think that's a very practical solution.
Let's see... an Israeli plane blows up a building in Lebanon after warning the people to leave.
So if the 9/11 hijackers had warned us they were going to destroy the WTC, it would have been OK? That's absurd. Whatever you think about the conflict in the Middle East, don't forget to look at it from both sides. We're all humans, right?
In your day?! You think "your day" was bad? In my day, we had to walk to the movie theaters, uphill both ways, and half the time the fake butter started a fire and the show ended early. And we liked it!
2) MOVING GIFS. This really gets peoples attention and vistors love this shit. Heres an example of a perfect site: www.free-extras.comOh. My. God. These people should be locked up somewhere, because they're completely insane.
Oh, I agree that running as a minimally priviliged user is the way to go. I was referring to Bert64's suggestion that users should rent computers and have to pay for higher priviliges, e.g. to install software.

Yeah, but if you're dealing with classified information, you have to be paranoid.
I think they'd be more interested in virtual groupies. :)
Is that URL from the trailer? Googling "talladega nights" gets me to this Sony Pictures page, with no MySpace hits in the first few pages of results.
But if Intel and AOL.... God, those would be some hideous mutant children (particullarly the ones that more closely resemble AOL).
Hmm, I hadn't though of that. One of these Green Wifi things plus a solar-powered satellite transceiver might be able solve the broadband problem.

The 80186 was also an Intel processor, wasn't it?
But there is more than corn in Indiana.
According to Wikipedia (yeah, I know, not the best source), they *did* do animal testing without finding any problems.
What if you want to download the entire Internet? Man, now that would really clog up the tubes.
I think they're just applying the whole "friend of my enemy is my enemy" idea.

Or worse, "insightful Slashdot post". *ducks*

Huh? What are you talking about, the cache?
Not to mention the ones people wear on their wrists. :)
