He, an honor student, was removed from his high school and forced to attend an alternative (read: for delinquents) education center, will not be allowed to receive his diploma with the rest of his class, and will probably have difficulty, if not being accepted to, at least getting financial aid for a good college. All because he went to a school staffed and parented by a group of reactionary morons.
How should the school have handled it? There's nothing to handle. When/if parents complained, the appropriate authority figures should have repeated my response to #1: "It is not illegal to create game maps for a first-person shooter game."
In short. Linux on a PDA is a huge success for Linux but is really no better for everyday linux users unless we get proprietry stuff like Tomtom, RealPlayer, Flash available for it (not completely unlikely).
You mean something like the Nokia N800, which comes with Opera and Flash, works with a wide range of bluetooth GPS units, including Navicore and TomTom, and has a freely available Rhapsody client?

Other countries seem to be doing all right in this respect. Judging by our test scores, maybe more of our students could use to be intoxicated during class...
How about, instead of blanket-banning people based on statistics, we more strictly regulate licensing, so that drivers' licenses can be awarded and revoked on case-by-case bases?
Or, we could just go by "the statistics" and ban male drivers from 17-25, all minorities, all urban drivers, and all drivers over age 50.
This has been around for (web) ages. As stated in the summary, it's used all over the place to create mashups because it's one of the only ways around the security requirement that XmlHttpRequest can only talk to the originating server.
1) Windows-the-gui was derived from Apple's gui (which was derived from Xerox's gui), and Windows-the-OS was based on DOS, which was not created by MS either. 2) Money is a clone of Quicken 3) Xbox is a clone of Playstation 4) Office is a clone of Wordperfect, Lotus, etc. 5) IE is derived from Mosaic, as mentioned above.
If my paltry little text editor application has a minor buffer overflow flaw, then the user who exploits it gains...privileges as the user who was running the text editor. Oh noes!
It's only on operating systems with absolutely no concept of security where things like office suite macros can do any damage at all.

This story doesn't strike me as a particularly fitting example of ultra-tolerance.
Rocket launcher will take care of that.

3-5%? My experience puts it at more like 30-50%.
Apparently somebody beat you to it.
So...basically both open.
Yes, that would be great.

Japan is not China.
Informative, insightful, and interesting! Where are my mod points when I need them?!
The speed limit is 75 mph on interstates in South Dakota.

My VW Jetta TDI already gets upwards of 50 mpg. Surely they could break 100MPG fairly easily by creating a diesel/electric hybrid.

GNU/Hippie 4 life!
Sounds like you want a Nokia N800.
Aha! How fitting that "Web 2.0" is Microsoft's fault.

Actually, an engineer at IBM created the three-finger salute.

In a desktop calculator application or a NES emulator, it's probably not too important.
In a web application that deals with customers' personal data, it is of the utmost importance.
Anybody who might like to use ZFS?
