we have green taxes and do you know the effect?
everyone is pissed because of the high gas prices, but noone drives less, so this tax didn't help the environment at all NOT EVEN financially, because the tax isn't spent on pro-environment projects or so, but to fill the pension fund that has been looted for the good of our predecessor generation...
what's the point in listing some games that noone ever heared of?
an interesting list would be "the 20 worst big-budget games" or
"the 20 worst games that sold well"
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld says we need to protect against a 'space Pearl Harbor,'' he says. 'But we're still the dominant power there.'
you mean like he saied the USA had proof that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction?
who can be stupid enough to beleive this mans doomsday forecasts anymore?
boycott the music industry!
listen to free creative commons music!
my favorite music site: www.garageband.com
I haven't listened to MAFIAA music ever since...
name ONE song you can download on iTunes that you can't find in any P2P network
fidelity (AAC vs. MP3)
songs on p2p networks have an average of 50% higher bitrate to iTunes (128kbit/s against 192kbit/s)
Jobs' philosophy of Piracy-IS-Competition (as opposed to the "Throw Tons of Lawsuits to the Wall and See What Sticks" approach)
are you kidding me? Apple throws tons of lawsuits to the Wall and sees what sticks all the time! get informed!
In a sense, the song is free. The user is paying for...
if the price was on convenience, fidelity and selection, then it was legal to download songs (maybe with a low bitrate) from p2p networks and put them on an mp3 player via a filebrowser... ask the 20.000 people, the RIAA sued, if they paied 3750$ average to the RIAA for fun or because the songs are NOT free
first: when you work with your computer you usually use one window for a long time (text processor, image editing software, rendering software, programming language IDE, browser) but this alleged "productivity gain" comes in situations where you switch windows a lot, which you don't while being really productive
and second: you gain MUCH more productivity if you don't use the damn mouse at all... I have many virtual desktops (KDE) I force a chatwindow, a small shell, mplayer and a buddy list to be thin windows at the right and lower margins of the screen (they are on all desktops, but blocked out of the controllbar) - I can activate them via Alt+1...Alt+4
almost every other program (they are configured to stay on the upper left and don't overlap the margin programs) has its own desktop, so I can "switch windows" by just using the hotkeys for the desktops and if there are more than one window on a desktop, I can still switch them fast by Alt+Tab (the Alt+Tab list is very short, since the margin programs are not in it and the programs from the other desktops aren't in it either)
when I started using mainly the keyboard, THIS was a real productivity gain...
that's an important point, since developers of mission critical software spend BIG MONEY on testing and bughunting
extremely mission critical software (nasa, hospitals) even is (at least partially) PROVEN to be correct via hoare calculus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoare_logic or similar methods
But in the mean-time Microsoft (especially with Visual Studio) has the advantage with getting people up to speed and generating useful code sooner than someone trying to master the intricacies of EMACS from scratch.
now either this is trolling or you should have used a distro that is (unlike suse and ubuntu) not aimed at noobs, who don't want to write programs. then you might have seen programs like kdevelop, which is quite comparable to visual studio...
also this argument about the "shiny" and consistent UI is invalid since you sound like you didn't even try KDE, but only GNOME (well GNOME is default in suse now and its the only wm in ubuntu)... but mandriva linux for example has everything you demanded!
we have BOTH kinds of music - country AND western

price for vista in 2-3 years? like at the release
on
Mandriva 2007 Released
·
· Score: 1
vista in 2-3 years? it will cost as much as on the day it is released... look at the prices for ANY windows version, none of them has changed since their release date... thats MS policy...
strangely a part of my answer to your post disappeared...
The fact that one person was unable to go from overflow to arbitrary code execution proves absolutely nothing about whether doing so is possible
but it was the person who claimed he could use the overflow to execute arbitrary code... it's no proof that it wasn't possible to do that, but at least it's also no proof that it was possible (like he claimed)
The fact that one person was unable to go from overflow to arbitrary code execution
of course big, complex programs (like a JavaScript VM) have errors, if you want
proof, you have to make a hoare calculus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoare_logic for the source code and beleive me, this is really really much work! - - - but this alleged error seems to be nothing but posing...
first: what if I get my screaming phone back? it won't ever stop screaming so it'll be completely worthless - you most certainly won't even catch the thief, since he'll throw it away... the only effect will be that the thief won't use the phone
second: what if someone cracks the signal? he might send the signal to each and every cell phone, making all those cell phones unusable and worthless...

i finally want to be able watch legally purchased dvds legally using a free(speech) dvd player software
using libdvdcss to watch your legally purchased dvds is illegal...
I don't know the price on that, though...

so technically this thing is able to reproduce any song it hears, right?
just wait until the RIAA finds out... not even bill gates will be able afford one of them
