I think there is something to be said for making it easier to develop for both platforms. Case in point, ever since Mono was released I've written my (.NET) programs to work on both Linux and Windows. Not everything will work exactly the same, so you have to test it (as you normally would), but it's definitely *way* easier than a completely seperate release. If it's easy enough to write a release for both OSes, it could result in an increased no. of Linux apps. Java demonstrates this quite well.
Unfortunately, there are some people who would still do those things, as they have little value for their own lives or do not think of the consequences. That said, it's an excellent idea with one central fallacy: it assumes the government has enough common sense to implement it.
The point is, these people say it's a quality of life issue simply because they aren't able to comprehend the fact that they could die tomorrow.
Maybe. Or maybe they see their life as worthless when they have to live with such pain. It is entirely possible that they just don't feel their lives are worth living without the meds, so even if it shortens their lives its better than nothing.
Then limit it to one attempt per IP address to prevent the parallelization. The only downside would be that this would also block people behind NAT, since they would have the same address.
It blows my mind mail servers are sending out executable to people in this day and age.
Why shouldn't we be able to send exes via email? As it is, I have enough trouble sending exes on Windows Messenger (I prefer GTalk but no-one I know uses it).
All we really need is the all mail servers to just run an AV scan on all attachments. Most of the HTTP ones (Hotmail, Gmail, etc.) already do.
No vocals? Or just no English (or whatever your primary language is)? I code all the time while listening to j-pop. While it may not be your genre of choice, I find that I can still enjoy a song that I don't understand the lyrics to, and it's also less distracting than one in English.
Not really. I do the same thing, and I know plenty of others who do. In Australia, we're lucky to get some series half a year or more after they start airing in the US, and even then there are heaps of hiatuses and breaks. IIRC, this approach is also especially common among fans of anime, since western channels don't usually air it until a dub is produced and many hardcore fans would rather watch an original subbed version than a dub.
If tomorrow it suddenly became physically impossible to listen to music without paying for it, would these friends of yours all sit in silence for the rest of their lives? No. They'd buy some music. Not nearly as much as they're willing to take for free, but some.
Guess again. There are now enough internet radio stations and independent artists who are willing to provide music for free that it would be quite feasible to go without buying any music.
But this serves only to demonstrate that your premise of it being impossible to listen to music without paying for it is flawed, since there is no way to regulate the actions of people who want to give their works away. If there were, I doubt that Linux would cease to exist.
It's more likely that we'll see some sort of Home Charging system, which stores the energy in supercapacitors so that it can be discharged at such a high current. Of course, that would drive up the cost of the car...
What about linking the OK button to O, etc? I know that Windows something similar. Or let space correspond to the selected button and reserve Enter for OK.
Isn't that the point, though? That without hacking, the device is too restrictive to be used comfortably? The fact that jailbreaking has become so commonplace is proof of this.
Another problem happened when I changed my resolution to 1024x800 - when I tried to change it back to 1280x1024 the dialog box was too big, and I couldn't access the OK button since it was offscreen.
I did the same thing:) Only managed to reset it via the terminal (thank God I had another computer to Google it from)
Take a look at www.iinet.net.au. For that price, you can get a 60-100 GB cap right now, provided you bundle VOIP. iiNet is the 3rd largest ISP in Aus, yet they don't advertise for some reason. IMHO, they certainly beat Telstra & Optus hands down (not that that's saying much).
What kind of bandwidth do you actually get in practice? I know the connection may be labelled ~160 MBPS, but what is the actual speed achieved when connecting to local sites? I'm curious to see if the ratio of acutal-to-promised is the same as it is in the US.
If there is a French version, it's illegal to stock only the English version
The wording of the rule needs to be changed to exactly what you just said. If a French version exists it should be stocked as well. And if the French version won't be out for 6 weeks, then it should be perfectly legal to only have the English version for 6 weeks. Asking them to wait for the French version to be released before selling the English verison is unreasonable.
Actually, the no of clicks to disable automatic updates is the same as the no required to configure it to ask for permission before installing them. But I do agree that it is hard to configure some stuff in Windows, compared to Linux where everything is in an obscure.conf file somewhere...~

I installed it ages ago and my media sharing works fine. I think that at worst you might have to re-enable it, but YMMV.
Diplomacy- telling someone to go to hell in such a way that they actually look forward to it.
Great, now your post is the #1 hit....

Given that there are both YRO and Politics sections, I would say both.

Same here. Also while on the toilet.

Does it matter? The iPod itself is still locked down with DRM, even if the music is DRM-free. It's hardly what one would consider an open device.
