And considering the amount of griping people do about installing Linux or even Windows, there going to get, very, very little market share if they don't provide a reasonable install option.
I've never understood the allure of download only, it does work, but really only for companies like gog that allow you to redownload the games when you want and free them of DRM crap. If I can't do that, then I'm definitely not buying. Which is a shame because several of the games listed in the summary are ones that I would be buying if not for the oppressive DRM scheme.
Precisely, the only problems with American plants is that they could be more efficient and are a pain to service. There's very little risk of any sort of danger to the public. They'll shut down automatically if for any reason the core loses power and the navy has been operating small reactors for decades without any incidents.
Generally the move has been the other way, towards fewer restrictions and more control for those that need it. If I'm understanding things correctly, they'd be removing most of the important capabilities for extensions like Xmarks and the numerous UI extensions.
Sigh, I wish that myth would die a horrible death. Countries are free to do that on their own. The only thing stopping third world nations from doing so is that a lot of the diseases they need cured don't occur with much frequency in the developed world. Meaning that if they screw with the patent protections too much, they could wind up with no medications being developed for them by the pharmaceutical industry.
If they were given to clear their name, then the DNA shouldn't appear in the database at all. The knowledge from the DNA database is hardly something that you're average stalker is going to have much use for, the people that you don't want to have access are probably the FBI.
I disagree, mission creep is serious, but as it stands now there's a sizable database held by the FBI that isn't necessarily known to be totally reliable. Worse is that there isn't really any way of knowing how reliable it is without some sort of outside review. The fact that the FBI has a DNA database should be far more concerning than open access to it. Finger prints were once thought to be unassailable evidence in court, now it turns out that since they typically only require a small portion of the fingerprint to match that it's not really particularly accurate in many cases. Same thing could turn out to be the case here.
Because it's just a deadline for creating the plan. The plan itself might take many years or possibly decades to fully implement. The reason for the deadline is so that they can start in the foreseeable future rather than continuously crafting the plan. The congress was wanting the beginning of the implementation to help pull us out of the recession. Hopefully with the bonus of making the country more competitive in the long run.
For box office flops you might end up spending a similar amount. I seem to remember Dick Tracy being sold for something similar when it first was released on VHS.
Not really, just because a large number of people are idiots, doesn't mean that privacy is outdated. What it means is that many people lack judgment and are willing to expose themselves to people that may or may not be psychopathic killers in order to fulfill some sort of narcissistic tendency. Really, the solution is either education or making it legal to kill people that have such serious lack of judgment.
A better method is to use something like the Truecrypt hidden partition and then store something mildly sensitive in the alternate part. Makes it hard for them to demonstrate that you've not disclosed the password they're looking for.
Sandboxing means that once the attacker has used an input exploit to own the process, it has to perform a privilege escalation exploit to get out of the sandbox. The problem is that applications running in sanboxes have to be able to write files, read files, load and install plugins, execute helper applications, and generally do just about anything a regulat application has to. So the sandbox can't be very "strong".
That's not really sandbox's fault, so much as the way that people design and run their OS. FreeBSD for example has the ability to combine flags and securelevel to prevent any changes to files that are so marked at all. It can be a pain in the ass, but it makes it very difficult for somebody to remotely install something to run at boot time.
Additionally, a proper sandbox shouldn't allow one to write to any portion of the hard disk that's directly accessible to the OS, and should really require exporting the information through the sandbox to access outside of the sandbox. If you're allowing the sandboxed app to operate directly on the disk you're doing something wrong and that area of the disk probably shouldn't be directly accessible except through a utility for doing so.
I take it you haven't used WIndows or Linux lately, there really isn't that much difference in terms of usability or ease of use. It's mostly the people who refuse to learn how to deal with Windows after a new service pack has been installed.
You do realize that the Chinese state owns most of our debt, right? All the court would have to do is order the institutions holding the cash to release the appropriate sum to the winning party.
There's literally trillions of dollars of Chinese government money in the US, it wouldn't be too tough to get whatever amount was won out of one of those sources. Or just seize it at the border as somebody's trying to take it back to China.
They could try that, however, the Chinese need us a lot more than what you're suggesting. We're currently in a situation where we really can't afford to piss each other off too much. Evaporating those dollars would be devastating to the US, and calling the debt would cause most of the economic progress that China's made to evaporate as well.
And non-DRM is just fine if you're willing to buy rather than rent. The reason, that gets glossed over so often here, that netflix uses DRM on it's streaming is that the content owners are quite reasonably concerned about people saving it to their hard disk. Being able to download all you like during the month and keep it makes for a much, much more expensive licensing arrangement as all of a sudden Netflix has to collect for X number of purchases.
You shouldn't be recommend Intel graphics for pretty much anything. Unless I missed the memo, Intel is really the worst choice for graphics cards, sure it's available on whatever platform you like, but AMD's been releasing documentation on its cards and the Intel graphics chips haven't been good. You're really far better off going with either nVidia or AMD for graphics chips at this point.
Not necessarily, while not typically, I tend to think that the battlefield at Gettysburg was more filled with human corpses than plants. And likewise in any large battle in some place like Iraq, it doesn't take that many bodies for the rotting dead to outnumber the vegetation.
Then latter they realized that the math was done incorrectly and that the likelihood of the LHC creating an Earth destroying black hole was significantly more likely than previously believed.

Well, when's the last time you saw a new movie come out on Betamax? I think the answer to that is the answer you're looking for.
You're just pissed because the Empire ended up being defeated.
