This policy is really aggrivating to people like me who can't stand listening to some guy regurgitate the textbook at 1/2 speed. Maybe you should just enroll in a better school.
Privacy - HA! You'll all be changing your tune when your place gets robbed and the repeat offender just happens to leave a test tube filled with his own blood.
Makes you wonder what they're gonna be doing in 150 years from now. I don't know - but if this article is any indication, they will be trying to build a one pound calculator that does graphing and trig functions.
Experiment: pick three Linkin Park songs (from their frist couple of albums), play the first, and sing the melody from the second or third over it. You'll be amazed at how different they aren't. I'll take your word for it.
This, to me, is like Comcast jacking off into a hat and BitTorrent wearing that hat with the full knowledge of what's just been deposited in that hat. I like to think of it as Comcast allowing bittorrent traffic, but your analogy works too.
This just in government does what is in it's best interest... Notice how generic the use of the word "government" is. As in, A government... as in any government
I wrote a bot that automatically responds to articles posted to Slashdot. It was initially getting modded as troll, until it became disallusioned with society, it listens to a lot of Marilyn Manson now and turned it's UI black - but on a postive note, it's been getting +5 informative all the time!
I don't really think thats the issue perse. I think what probably happened was they became worried about the threat of a lawsuit. It's likely someone complained or something. The University is just trying to protect themself from liability. Anytime you have people running around with nerf guns there is the potential for injurt. I don't agree with it, but I think this is probably the reason for the ban.
Clearly you've never done web development. The inavailabilty was sore sport in web development for years. I remember having to borrow my friends Mac or use Konqueror to test my CSS designs. I, for one, don't really care for Macs, but I still want Mac users using Safari to be able to view my pages.
No neither do I, but it is what it is. I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just telling you what the net effect is of what you're doing. In the end, you are absolutely right in saying, I'm going to vote for change, but don't expect for your vote to count in the same way as it would if you voted for one of the major canidates. The purpose of third party canidates in the US has been two fold. They are either pushing for change and hoping their program will be adopted by either of the major parties, or they are hoping to be a spoiler in the election. It's been this way for quite a while, and I suspect it will continue to go this way. However, Ironically enough, I think this primary is the first in recent history that has the ability to tear apart one of the major parties.
All I'm presuposing is that if you cast a vote for Ralph Nader, you would have likely voted for either Clinton or Obama if that canidate had not ran. It's the reason George Bush Sr. lost in 1992. Ross Perot ran, took conservative votes away from Bush, Clinton became President. When the margins are expected to be very thing, like I think they will be in this election (I doubt anyone expects a blowout) casting a liberal vote for a third party canidate like Nader, hurts the Democrat who would have otherwise recieved that vote. It's not rocket science. And if you disagree with it, you're just being naive. I think eventually there will be a viable third party canidate, it's not Ralph Nader or anyone else running in this election.
I think this generally has to do with the function of the code. For example, most corporate "in-house" solutions are pressed for time and resources. Many of them are poorly documented as it is often treated as a luxury to have good documentation. Because of the nature of OSS, it typically has better documentation. Most people designing OSS hope to pass if off and allow others to build onto what they've done.
Bullshit - you HAVE to accept this fact that if you cast a vote IN THIS ELECTION for Ralph Nader... you would be better off voting directly for McCain. I'm not saying the two party system is perfect... I'm just at this moment in time, until a viable third party comes along, accepting it for what it is.
Seriously, do we really want our commander in chief preoccupied with MySpace and Facebook? It's entirely likely that they'll just pass off those tasks to other government employees. Then, of course, in that case, do we really want to be PAYING the salaries on these employees? Small, unobtrusive government is the way to go - the less they know about and use these types of applications and services, the less control and say they have over how we use them.
Myself, I'll be voting either Green or Libertarian, depending on who's on the ballot in Illinois. Mine will be a protest vote against our Corporate-owned government. So essentially you'll be voting for McCain then? Good luck with that.
It is only odd if MS had a hand in it. However, if it was just a dumbass doing the counting, then it is not odd at all. Actually if MS had its hand in it, it's not odd. It actually sounds like business as usual
Want MSN Messenger, that relies on IE, because it can display HTML content. True - but do you really want 8 different pieces of software on your computer that can do web browsing or just one that has somehow been integrated into the other 8 pieces of software. Why reinvent the wheel? Dependencies are inevitable.

Except with those requirements, I doubt it'll run on Vista.
One step closer to being able to play sports on the moon.
It's worse... the government didn't say so... the company making them did.
Hahaha exactly what I thought. Usually the open source community bitches and complains about pre-loading apps into an OS.

John McCain has requested that you join the Sith in the Jedi Vs. Sith War.
A bit presumptuous to think that anyone who is eligable to collect social security doesn't know how to use a computer??
I also remember in Pirates, Steve Jobs was just as guilty for "raping and pillaging" Xerox.
