Many of the the new systems are being manufactured with TPM hardware. This, coupled with a bios extension allows for burning the TPM so that the system will not boot. The idea started with security (a la smart card), but it is being used more for theft prevention. When the system is booted, it will access a blacklist, and if it is on the blacklist as "severe", then a hardware fuse can be burned. Otherwise, it will take a password and some other information to extend functionality. By default, the TPMs are or will be delivered inactive.
The TPMs can store software registration information. That is how TPM and software for the next generation of APPs may be managed.
I started with 1401 autocoder, then to cobol, and assembler, and later, to C language. I look at object oriented programming as bloat. The same function for different objects requires a unique method per object. Something is wrong there.
Think of the human body. -- No duplication. Negative side, no redundancy but positive side, functions that are not duplicated.
Give up on beef more than once a week, and then, only for 8 ounces. The other meals consume poultry, fish, vegetables. Reduce your quantity of bread by eating more vegetables. For breakfast, forget bacon on eggs, except for weekends, and try for boiled eggs, oatmeal or other fibrous cereals.
I practice what I preach. And I am 71 and healthy.
I change the battery in my watch every 4 years. I believe it is other than alkaline. Lithium or silver oxide. And after 4 years, no leaks. And it is an expensive watch too.
So why not have designs that look to conserve power when not required.
No on off switch? Wow. Then I would suspect that the designers waited for a keypress before turning on the other circuitry, and then only kept it on for a few minutes after the last detected keystroke.
Its tit for tat. You screwed up our centrifuges, we screw up your drone management.
Just think about this. No nation has exclusivity on intelligence. Intelligent people are everywhere, and able to do things for nationalism that goes beyond doing things for a dollar.
If I go to the library and take out a DVD for viewing (all the DVDs I want from the local library for $25/yr.
I can make a copy, I can watch and renew the lib loan as long as there is no reserve for the book. I think this the same as a book. I recognize the author or copyright holder does not make money on my borrowing, but in some cases the library buys additional dvds with my annual fee.
So, I think that as long as I don't resell the material, it is OK. You say not? Well, I can buy a DVD and lend it to many friends, or have a beer party and have many friends watch the same movie.
Can someone describe their experience with G3 and dual monitors. I usually work with one monitor showing the online documentation, while I code with the other. Without dual monitor support, I am, as I did in the past, keep two systems side by side. I am after productivity. With Fedora 16, I went the compiz route, and only use the extensions for four desktops and for wobbly windows. (That is how I justify compiz)
I believe that the MS strategy is to cause their architecture for security to be included in hardware along with their software. They already are recommending dedicted bios's, encrypted signals to the monitor, etc. etc.
Copyright is for protecting viewable designs as well as work by authors. A clothing style is copyrightable, (is copyrightable a legal gerund, like swimmable).
In any case, the look and feel of a product is a difficult thing to copyright. Shapes, I believe are not subject to copyright protection, but perhaps the layout and use of these primatives are.
In Christianity, we praise life and live for God, In extreme Islamic terrorist beliefs, they dream of dying for Allah. Any religion that extols death as a solution must have leaders who benefit from the financial inheritances from their followers. We also never hear about the religiouos leaders committing suicide. They direct others to die for them.
I mainly use email. I have Skype, and find that the hours wasted on skype because a friend is online and bugs you, or because you want to work so you block certain users, is harmful to my business. I avoid social sites (facebook and twitter), because it takes me too long to communicate with my contact.
Regarding emails, I have filters that separate unwanted emails from those users who are in my address book. That is, I use a white list. Once a week, I sort the entries in my SPAM filter, and if there is something I missed, I retrieve it. Otherwise, Bammn click, the spam is gone. Email has its place as well, for confirming skype conversations.
Gee, I am looking to replace our electric kettle. I get more pleasure from it than I would from an IPAD because the kettle is used to pour boiling water into our French style coffee maker. We actually use ground coffee for our breafast beverage -- no instant stuff
Let me make a few points about life. No one has exclusivity on intelligence or ingenuity, or creativity. The USA has exclusivity of stupid patents due to stupid patent laws. That and greed chokes all creativity.
If you ship the manufacturing offshore, as you have, then based on the standard of living of that poorer country, their worker's students will become the future engineers, and who needs the USA. You shipped the jobs offshore, you shipped the earning power off shore and you shipped relatively low cost superb education there too.
Your university fees have become so high that you cannot afford to have open doors for the masses of potential intelligent engineers or entrepreneurs from which innovation arises.
So yes, the best is yet to come. Will it arise offshore, or in your own back yard. Take a guess.
Google needs to be broken up into smaller competitive companies. Rim is an excellent product, Just because they don't run Android is not a reason to abandon a company that helped them to grow.
In the end Google will screw everyone with it's behaviour. I see it coming.
I believe that programmers are not good designers of friendly and functional user interfaces. The interface should have been designed by an industrial engineer with skills in time-and-motion studies, as well as a good taste in graphics design.
Its more disappointing than Fedora 15.

Fedora 16 Released

· Score: 2
The welcome screen is a big black blob of window, and the interface is no better than Fedora 15. The net benefit is the newer kernel. My first efforts with newer software versions, met with failed to launch, and bugzilla core dumps being forwarded.
Here is an interesting idea for an improvement. In the bottom right corner, allow the gnome 2 desktop switcher to appear. It allows us with one click to move from desktop to desktop with a single click, and allows Gnome3 to please the email/internet users.

I second your comment and observation. C with some great gui libraries, and say good bye to code bloat.
I actually stopped using Facebook and Twitter, due to the overabundance of ads.

Lock-in for life is the new slogan.
39billion for T-Mobile.
Wow, is that, no, that is the fund built from excessive profits and gouging.
What can go wrong is that species that feed on Mosquitos or their larve will disappear in numbers, from starvation. That includes bats and fish.
I guess we can begin to all live on vegetation as vegans.

Subject line fills in the banks omitted in other responses.
The reason for not doing the study is the fear that the xray machines are probably emitting dangerous levels of radiation.
They must know this from the film badges that some operators wear to show the amount of exposure to potentially death causing radiation.
Potential, yes, because the radiation can cause cancer. and cancer can cause death.

Should come out of the one percenter's pockets.
If the item is domestic, perhaps the tax is not justified, but if product is from an import, taxes should apply.
You are not alone.
