So you were never taught to consider credibility of your sources and to cross-reference what you find when doing research? Everywhere I've seen kids taught to do research on the internet, they're cautioned against beleiving everything they read.
You really think a multimillion-dollar company would risk its reputation and livelihood to earn a few hundred dollars in some poorly thought out scam? Please.
If we sold it to ten people and they each payed $60 - $100 per month, you would be bitching that it was oversold.
You're only seen as overselling it because you tell each of those ten people (for example) that they're getting access to a 5 Mbps line, without telling them that they can only expect a.5 Mbps connection out of it.
For non-cheaters, the GPL does force proprietary code to become GPL in exchange for the right to create a derivative work.
Yeah, that proprietary software has to become GPL instead of just being plain old illegal. You could always go with what was available before -- you have the option of keeping the proprietary software as a copyright infringement, just like it would have been.
At that point you have to decide: do you want a "neutral" Internet, where no preference is given to either data stream, or a "non-neutral" Internet, where the network understands that your IPTV is more important and gives it preference when the connection gets congested?
I've never heard network neutrality proponents give a definition for network neutrality that includes a ban on prioritizing certain types of traffic; I've only heard those definitions from network neutrality opponents. I always seem to hear network neutrality proponents just wanting to prevent prioritization based on the source of the packets.
Judging by your lack of expertise (all you have is speculation about how hand-to-hand combat works), I would say nobody has ever tried to make you a victim.
I now have a few shoulder-surfers here who would like to demonstrate to you that you can in fact get some sound out even as you're losing air.
I can't speak for Texas, but are you suggesting that Illinois might have legitimately voted Republican in a national election?
Did Mayor Daley of Chicago arrange for the dead to vote?
This only would have mattered if the national election were to be determined by the popular vote. Chicago outnumbers downstate by a long shot -- there'd have to be a lot of dead voters downstate for Illinois to vote for a Republican president.
Not that these businesses should have any other motive than profit, I don't guess, but at the same time I think we all need to be wary of any "technological advances" they are kind enough to offer the consumer.
I worry at the idea that good people would have something to fear from any entity "doing the right thing."
Firstly, the first time I read that I had to think about it... my 'I know crap all about america.. how am I to answer that?' filter kicked in and it took the second read to work out it was a trick. Don't use local knowledge - something like 'The ball is red. What colour is the ball?' is more neutral.
If the captcha says the answer to the question, I don't see why non-local knowledge is necessary.
Secondly the sentence structure is overcomplex... a *lot* of people don't have a high reading age
Unfortunately, computers are capable of spitting out computer programs with "reading age" high enough to deal with the format "X is the Y of Z. What is the Y of Z?" Normally, it's done for making compilers, but highly simplified human languages can be much simpler than common computer languages. However, given enough simple variations on a sentence, I imagine humans could out-parse computers. That Texas one there is a pretty simple sentence.
Thirdly it's in english. You'd have to translate to all the common languages
Presumably, his web site is also in English. If it has a verison in another language, then, yes, I guess he would have to make more audio captchas. Although, I imagine it's easier to string words into meaningful (but simple) sentences and know what the right answer is than it is to parse and analyze those sentences, so he might be able to automate the creation of new captchas by giving the computer a grammar and some wordlists.
Kitchen knives (knives are only sharpened on one side.. a lot of righties don't realize this...).
What you do is hold it like a right-handed person would, then pass the knife over to your left hand without turning it over. Now, the sharp edge is still down, and it's in your dominant hand.
Laptops (why is the power button always on the right? Not to mention the CDROM drive.. it's a bitch to get CDs out sometimes..)
I can see how this might be a problem if you didn't have a right hand. If you're just left-handed, it's not like you have to draw some elaborate symbol with your non-dominant hand to turn your computer off or take a CD out. BTW, how much does it bother you that you have to use your right hand to reach half of your keyboard?
I understand the difficulty of getting versions of things made to be left handed (e.g. left-handed archery equipment is almost never present). Even so, most things, even though they are made for right-handers, do not require anything complicated from the right hand.
I can see where you're coming from, but, having talked with disabled people, I doubt you really have much perspective on it.

What gave you the idea that Apple thinks using sudoer accounts for admins is a bad idea?
Hope this clears things up for you and the OP.

I suspect the rate of innovation follows more of a logistic-type curve.
He's also the one caught his kids downloading copyrighted music and decided a lecture was sufficient punishment.
It looks like I'm the only one who read the parent as a description of a situation rather than an interpretation of the article.
And someone with a share ratio of 0 probably hasn't been uploading very much.
Another fundamental idea is the difference/separation between criminal law and civil law. Only one of those needs "probable cause" to go to trial.
I could have sworn I've seen Dell selling machines with AMD CPUs.
As does my electric razor.

First a blatant display of ignorance, then you try to lecture us about unarmed combat.
*taps out, since the irony is killing me*
I agree that thought processes should not be patentable. However, someone seems to disagree.
This only would have mattered if the national election were to be determined by the popular vote. Chicago outnumbers downstate by a long shot -- there'd have to be a lot of dead voters downstate for Illinois to vote for a Republican president.
There may be for some illegal acts, but it seems perfectly legal for companies to move "pay the workers less than $5 per hour" offshore.
You can't? Have you actually tried? Works fine for me.
