What part of it disturbs you? The fact that your statement is correct or the fact that you a slashdotter (by implication "disturbed") are disturbed by your correct statement?
.....er I mean the grappler. Come on the show was great. It was closer to our time and quite frankly more believeable because there were things we recognized and believed in it.
I wonder is there will come the day where Cable service will offer TiVo's as part of a package, much like cablemodems are dealt with these days. It would be a bonus, but seeing as TiVo offers the service and the Cable companies would have to pay TiVo subsidies, how likely is it that we'll see this any day soon? TiVo could in itself build a cable service branch out of itself offering the service and cornering the market. Wouldn't it be sweeet:)
Why would they fix the bugs? They'd probably arrest the sanctioned would be hackers for DMCA violations, ship 'em off and say woooooooooooo hooooooooooo, we have a working product;)
...these days everything that we would have consideredcommon sense just 10 years ago has to be clarified through the courts. What's next? Determining whether lunchtime starts at 12pm or a second after that?
I am not a lawyer, so please take what I say with a grain of salt (Maybe more).
If your local machine were to have the equivalent of a self defense mechanism, that responded only to direct attacks by other machines, that's one thing. With such a system your machine is limited to warning the attacking system before using minimal resources to defend itself.
On the other hand, if your machine is actively seeking to modify an attacking system, by patching it, destroying it or otherwise, one would say you've gone beyond self defense and are an active participant in malicious intentions.
Causing another machine to patch be patched and then to still attack another system simply to patch it up, seems like a grand idea, but the root problem remains, and you've simply added to it. Legally, I believe, this would be called an ilegal act (remember grain of salt).
Let's see, Mark Wahlberg's character crash landed twice in the movie and the monkey he disobeyed orders for landed with such perfection? I perssonally felt the monkey made a better actor/pilot by the end of the movie.
Mark Wahlberg has grown since his days of being Markie Mark. Call this movie what you will, but don't deny that it's brought some of his good acting abilities out to the forefront.
"Should consumers fail to sign up for AOL during that initial period, AOL said in the memo that it would "remind the customer of the AOL offer through the use of on-screen 'Pop-ups' that will appear five times within the first month of activity (or until the user signs up for AOL, whichever comes first)."
I don't believe it. Why does this seem like a threat to me? "Should the user fail to comply, we will attack him with SPAM upon SPAM upon SPAM". I feel less threatened by my statement, than I do by AOL.
I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but was anyone else mesmerized by her looks. This was the first time I found myself staring uncontrollably and she wasn't even a real woman.
There should be laws against replicating fineness like that...
Ironic how we all seem to have forgotten what happened to the porn industry just a few short years ago.
I remember the days where porn was easily available on the net (not to say that it probably still is). The laws came about and porn websites were required to verify your age (or should I be PC and say "do some verification"). In time such verification made the use of Credit cards and hey why not charge for the service in the process. That industry has certainly not shrunk, in fact it's grown exponentially.
The fact of the matter, whether we approve of it or not, is that we as human beings want the best deal we can get legally. If music online exists with cost, people will purchase it. Do note that illegal avenues will always persist (It's a fact of life).
The question that needs to be asked is this; why would I pay for a subscription service that gives me something for a month that I can no longer use after that month should I not continue to pay for it? If I buy a CD, that CD is mine for life or until harm comes to it.

The forces of good came from all sides and vanquished the mighty dark lord called Microsoft..." -Snowbeam, 2001
Microsoft has had so much flak from us, that they've profitted from the bad press. Now that the criticism has slowed down, they are creating their own havoc with things like this licensing model that in the end they'll be the key to their own doom.
The Law should not be broken, but ACME don't have a right to enforce the law. As a matter of responsibility, they should have called up the police to indicate where the offender was, had him ticketed for speeding by the police. Through this system they would have had a legal recorded recourse to fine the driver for speeding at least once. Greed took the better of them, enabling them to fine the driver for three speeding offenses recorded by the GPS. Anyone calling them a safety conscience company has to take their actions into account as not being very safety conscience, but rather, very greedy.
Why is it that every captain so far has become an Admiral within 20 years? I remember when they had the ranks of "Commodore", which was lost from ST:TNG onwards. I am sure there are several other ranks whihc they skip past an dit demeans the rank of Captain to being a lowly rank and that of admiral as easily attainable. ---------

Wow,
You really need to take a look at "sudo". You can give a user full super user privileges or just privileges for a specific task. As far as I know, "sudo" has been around for ages, so your argument is a fallacy. ---------

Did he mess it up, or was it really a foretelling of what was to come?

Betamax.....you bastard! Forcing us all to reminisce on one of the greatest products taken from us too soon. Anyone else still got one out there?

I'm impressed. This games preview is sweeeet. If this is a taste of what's to come, we're in for a treat.
This is SCHWEEEEEET! I'd like to see the end result of this one :)

I don't think they wasted time with a jury here. That would have been a waste of my tax payer money and a refund would certainly be in order.

Will any of these parties be put on the web via live stream?

I seem to remember similar statements and conversations when it came to the benefits/detriments of the PIII over the PII.

Well, when a door is closed, a windows elsewhere is always opened (avoiding religious references for the sake of some).

The better question is what market? I don't consider either of these part of the Server market yet. Such things should on occasion be clarified.
