And heck, its useful just as another modifier key under windowing systems that let you (ie X). And there it doesn't have the push it=pull up the start/K/Applications/whatever menu by default. I have it set up so that all window-manager operations use Win+something, freeing up everything else for keyboard shortcuts (ie emacs). (grumble, M-Tab as default autocomplete in so many places...)
I don't think they'd necessarily have a problem with tiering on (semi)guaranteed latency. The problem is charging endpoint sites for bandwidth/latency rather than consumers.
Part of it is also that people don't want to spend the time to form an opinion and vote on every little issue, and would rather elect some representative who is of the same general opinions as they. Of course, you could say that maybe they don't need to have an influence if they aren't willing to put any effort into it.
If they apply "widely used principles of UI design", why, for example, is the file save dialog so different (and much worse) than in Windows, OS X or KDE ? This is what I really don't understand. I like some things about GTK and Gnome's interface, but I really cannot understand how they could possibly think the file dialog was anything but horrible. It has gotten up to almost decent in recent versions (ie no more missing Location text box by default) but I've still had many problems with it, especially with it's autocomplete. And why have only one possible view for the files - a list view with really large items that prevent you from seeing very many files at a time.
While I wouldn't put it quite that way, I will say that I do tend to push the "no ai" and the "pause every round" buttons and play it like pen-and-paper. Much more fun that way.
Only if by 99% of gamers you mean 99% of gamers who only run linux games (or maybe ones who are willing to deal with very low gfx settings on new games). You try to run say Oblivion or BF2142 with one of those "fast enough" cards with decent graphics settings and you'll get something like 10 fps.
And AFAICT there is no way to permanently switch it to simple-html mode. However, I usually just use the POP interface and don't deal with any of that.
My main problem with gmail is that your emails aren't links - they are only onclick javscript handlers. Therefore I can't open a email in a tab by middle-clicking, which is what I want to do. Ajaxy stuff is fine, but give an href even if it normally won't be used.
You can do even crazier stuff through artsd for programs that use arts (the kde soundserver) by piping output from a program though filters made in artsbuilder.
Well then the phones have serious security flaws and need to be fixed - there should be no way that anyone can send commands to your phone without your permission.
And if an entire brand or class of players has an easily to extract key, they'll have to brick the entire group or people will just grab keys off each player.
TSA is a fed agency, right? Then Article 4, Section 2 ("The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states") sorta prohibits that. Of course, given how bent out of shape the constitution is, who knows if they'd actually rule that way.
Sigh, I meant no debuggers or similar programs that access memory of other programs (as you probably knew). No memory access would be a problem I admit.
Even with TPM/TCPA? If the *IAA makes all software players require TCPA support in the OS and the hardware, and that no memory access is allowed during playing, won't that make it much harder?
Hmm, just saw something else - assuming that putting a song up for download when you are the copyright holder gives an implied license to download, could you argue that putting it up on BT would also give an implied license to upload, at least during the time of downloading, since you have to upload while downloading in BT?
An analagous situation of transferred intent would be if Alice tries to shoot Bob but misses and accidently shoots Carol. So long as she had the intent to shoot someone, it won't matter that she had no intention of shooting Carol. I am definitely not a lawyer, but that seems odd to me. Is there a reason Alice wouldn't just be charged for some sort of manslaughter for Carol and attempted murder for Bob?
...if the MPAA is uploading it isn't it an authorized download?
You could make the argument, but I don't think it's a very strong one. With a sympathetic judge, it could work, but they're usually not very sympathetic to people they see as wrongdoers. And anyway, as someone mentioned above, they could still hit you for uploading the copyrighted gibberish.
I agree, my elementary school had a bunch of IIes and they had a bunch of good math and english software. The newer PCs they had had far less interesting stuff.

And then they can get caught if their county is randomly selected for a hand count and the numbers are seriously off.

If absolutely nothing else works, just lie to them and say you added/upgraded your video card and it broke.

.edu I think is also generally enforced, but all of the other distinctions died a while ago.

Even then it doesn't really make sense most of the time.

Isn't that what PUBLIC identifiers are for?

Are stored procs really any less portable than the rest of SQL?
