Kindle and other e-readers on the market today do not feel like a book. It does provide similar and enhanced functionality but it's just not the same experience.
We're a few years away from having e-paper that feels like a book and can hold as many as you need for a couple of weeks. Why does this library need to store more physical copies of printed books? When all is set and done they'll be left with maintaining a useless robot...
Can we please return parental control back to parents? I was under the impression that Thompson et al preach traditional values and the "reinstitution" of family. If you really want to feed the lawyers, please ask the courts to force families to be responsible for raising their kids, not to take the responsability away from it.
Thank you.
Actually, Microsoft does spend quite a lot of time an energy trying to make sure they control exactly who (and when and how) can run it's latest operating system... I for one, would enjoy the irony of all that control bite them back a bit.
No, you don't get your TV shows from them, as Pirate Bay is "only" a bittorrent tracker. It would be like saying you get all your take-way food from the yellow pages.
Not to be anal but you cannot measure a liquid in kilograms, especially in a summary to a technical article. I know that most of the Slashdot crowd is not proficient in metric measurements (sigh...) but just in case you care, it should have been "540 liters"
Actually, using the mass makes more sense here, as said water volume will vary a lot with temperature and pressure during the shuttle's flight.
I tried the testcase with Konqueror (KDE 3.5.5) and it wasn't vulnerable (username/password are only autofilled on the "real form").
But don't trust me, check yourself. And I recommend to have Konqueror always ask for permission to use the wallet.
...but what about the countless other sources of graphics and pictures which may be proprietory/copyrighted? What's preventing anyone from taking one and submitting it.
Copyright law prevents that. What gave you the idea that creative people who contribute with free (as in LGPL) content will need to copy anyone else's work? This is the same mentality behind the SCO lawsuit: "Your Honor, they can't possibly have done it themselves, so they must copied it from us".
Makes me dislike even more PCs (and Macs) with permanently-wired internal microphones that you can't just unplug as with an external one, or even cover up as you can with an internal camera.
Only a problem if you use an operating system you can't trust.
Here are the steps to follow for Ubuntu users: 1) Hit Alt+F2. 2) Paste this into the text entry box: zenity --info --text "Your copy of Ubuntu is valid.\nThank you for not pirating it\!" 3) Click Run. Enjoy!

So far, the net is beyond censorship as a whole, but there's plenty of censorship attempts, with different levels of success on local level, though sometimes "local" covers a great deal of land.
I have no clue about what News Corp expected to gain by applying censorship on MySpace forums, but at least it was useful as a wake-up call for all (well, some of) the unsuspecting "bloggers".
A spokesman for MySpace said it would not explain how the blocking of YouTube came about, nor how it was resolved, nor whether in future it would continue to block links to rival websites or censor messages between MySpace customers.
A they say on MySpace subscription page: "It's FREE!". Sure, free as in beer...
But it was really just bad luck that the bug happened to be found in the Windows WMF library and not, say, its Unix/X11 equivalent. Or libpng, or zlib, or whatever. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. All software has bugs, and even if the quality of the free libraries is ten times higher (unlikely) there will still be plenty of memory tramplings and buffer overruns.
So, when the next vulnerability is found in a commonly used Unix library, will we be in any better position?
Yes, we will, ever so slightly. The side effect of having a zillion distribuitions is making it near imposible to exploit a library vulnerability (other than crashing the application using the library), due to the fact that, for example, libz.so binary is different on every distribution. I stress it's not a design feature (even if you use Gentoo), it's a side effect, but one that works to the user's advantage.

So, what's the metric equivalent of a cell phone?
No, this is why human rights and freedom of speech are important. If you want privacy, don't make public statements (like posting on a blog).

After all things added, it should all fit on a single truck.
... or was it a series of tubes?

Finally the court will put it to rest. Did Hans shoot first, or was it the other guy?
Oh, wait... wrong movie.

There, solved your problem for you.

Once they clean the oil pipelines and get them connected, Iraq will have the largest, clog free, bandwith on the Internets.

You could check if they have a network shared printer and deliver the message straight home.

There's an interesting use for those Novell SLES coupons...
Give the free culture movement some credit.
