VMWare 6.5 has much more complete 3D support I assume that would be VMware Workstation 6.5. We (I currently work for a large unnamed virtualization provider) generally like to version our products, not the company itself;)
I've seen a demo of 3D graphics from a virtual machine. It worked. I haven't seen the final version, obviously, but it comes in a shrink-wrapped box with a manual, so it can't possibly have any bugs:D
(Kudos if you know who I'm quoting; hint: he's had rank in the FSF).
If the people of France feel that [...]. If the majority want it [...]. How about making it opt-in or opt-out? I don't care where it's enforced (at your ISP or in your/etc/hosts), as long as the user has the choice of looking what they want. Then the majority who wants it can get it, without imposing censorship on those who perceive it as that.
In that way, everybody can get what they want, not just the majority.
I agree with "live and let live". We shouldn't boss around the citizens of France. Imagine now that you are a French citizen who doesn't want the blacklist. Wouldn't you use "live and let live" again?
I think "D" isn't quite "Q.E." yet. Demonstrated isn't quite that which was to have been?;)
Q.E.D. is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "quod erat demonstrandum" (literally, "that which was to have been demonstrated") [citation needed].
I'm guessing quod=what, erat=was-to-have-been, demonstrandum=demonstrated. So the Q. isn't quite D.E. (with emphasis on the E., I guess), as it's still to-be-shown.

Oh, and none of the Lords are self-appointed; some inherited their titles from their parents, while these days most are awarded them by the government. So the government gets to choose who will watch over the government? What could possibly go wrong?;)

when we find kernel bugs (and we do) we need them integrated back into a vendor supported kernel before we'll even consider deploying them into production. Yeah, it'd be a disaster if the vendor didn't support your production-deployed bugs;)
We are very proud to announce our new workshop called Subversion of Justice. Hey, cool. The law has needed version control for quite a while.
Our thanks go to [... a]n anonymous person from the Scientology church who wants to go by the nomicker of 'Tom' I think mr. Cruise is going to be pissed that you revealed his identity.
OAEP had to be invented for similar reasons Not true: OAEP fixes problems with the math, which by its declarative nature is timing-independent.
The problem fixed by OAEP is this: suppose you want to a message from a small set (say, a single bit, or "attack" versus "retreat"); assume for convenience the set of messages is contained in [0, n-1], where n = pq is part of the RSA public key.
If you just do plain RSA encryption (c = m^e % n), then the eavesdropper can encrypt all the values from the small set in almost no time, and see which of the encryptions match the ciphertext. You Have Been Decrypted. You Have Lost. Have A Nice Day.
What OAEP does: instead of encrypting just m, you pad m with some zeroes z and some random bits r. You then do the following:
left = (m and z) xor hash1(r) right = hash2(left) xor r return encrypt(left and right)
"and" is the concatenation operator, xor is bitwise; the difference between the hashes is the input/output sizes. Ideally the implement a random oracle.
This fixes a math problem, not a side-channel attack. How that relates to timing attacks on SSL I can't work out. See also the wikipedia article on OAEP.
Don't let your rabid hatred of MS blind you to reason. Why not? You must be some kind of sympathizer to say something like that!! I'm sure you're being threated with violence (in the form of chairs) to hold that view! ZOMFG BARBIQ GTFO ROFLLE.
Cops hate to be captured on film/video that they do not control. It's funny; when I waited for my pizza, I browsed through the available newspapers. On page two (I think) it had the following story, which is poorly remembered, poorly translated, and poorly abbreviated:
It's becoming ever more frequent that people pull out their cell phones or other cameras to shoot videos of police officers performing arrests or breaking up demonstrations.
[someone in charge] "Well, that's just something we'll have to get used to. The actions of the police officers should of course be able to be filmed without us being ashamed of it. I live in Denmark (famous for its high taxes, protesting OOXML, sacrificing its citizens on Bush's Iraqi altar of oil, free education and health (see "high taxes") and a lot of other mixed blessings).
You can mod me off topic now, I've used my box slot. This was the soap one:)

Individuals may still be tracked by other means (arbitrarily assigned number, vice real phone number) to determine patterns without violating individual privacy. Okay, so consider your "average" home: four cellphones, which are all in the home. Two of them go to the local school five days a week. Two of them go to the football field every sunday.
Work out who's mom, dad, son and daughter. You've tracked them to their home, so you know their address. Go look at the mailbox. Now you have their names.
If you stop and think about it, curly brackets doesn't make up an overwhelming amount of your typing. True, it's typed more than in English prose, but there's always the if, while, for or what have you on the line before. Plus a lot of non-block statements.
That said... I don't find it a problem. My keyboard (the kinesis I linked to) has curly brackets on the top left and right corner keys, which is slightly weird (esp. that they're not adjacent), but I don't think it hinders me in any way.
I haven't found a computer where I couldn't switch to dvorak, and that I had to use for an extended period of time. Whether or not the same will be true for you depends on what you do. If you use computers at the library, that will be less true than if you don't, for instance. I can still type on qwerty, though not without looking more than I'm supposed to. If you keep up your qwerty skills, that won't be a problem, however.
I say the drawbacks are very minor. Definitely worth it.
I think, like most skills, that typing qwerty is something you will stay proficient at if you keep doing it. I only type my password with it on the university computers, so my qwerty is slow. Fortunately, I'm not forced to using qwerty anywhere.
I remember some shops in Denmark carrying a sign saying "video surveillance". My interpretation is that they had to (compelled by law) make customers aware that their actions were recorded.
