There are a lot of standards - too bad SONY chose not to use them. Do you really think they would let you use your no-name charger pad instead of buying their special SONY-pad for three times the money?
To be honest, your web browsing experience might be a bit dissapointing on this system if you plan to run Windows Vista. Email works like a charm though!
If Heinz was really superior, we'd expect it to take over in new markets where it becomes introduced.
Except that Heinz ketchup is sometimes almost twice as expensive as the other crap, and most people: a) don't seem to care much about what the ketchup tastes like, b) usually don't even try different brands if they are happy with the one they are currently using.
There are a few "expensive" things I always pick over the cheapo noname brand even when I've been extremely poor. Heinz Ketchup is one of them. (Brämhults freshly squeezed orange juice is another, for the swedes out there).
This is why you should use TrueCrypt with the hidden volume feature. You can, after some extortion, give them your key to the main truecrypt volume, but there is no way to know if there is another volume inside the one you just gave them access to.
There's a good reason many encryption technologies support "recovery" options
Sounds more like an obfuscation system than en encryption system. The point with encryption is that no one except those you give the key to, should be able to decrypt the information.
I would consider not being able to talk about it as being gagged. You seem to have missed the part where he blocked all discussions about the license on the forum.
Do you have a philosophically sound argument for preferring nonexistence to existence, if both are possible as equilibrium states?
Well, the answer has to be no, since in my eyes that is a purely hypothetical question. No matter how much the human population has been reduced in previous years, due to famine, diseases, etc, the population has always recovered and in a faster pace than ever. I just don't believe that we can reach a steady state, we're just not bred that way.
The scientist in me would think it would be very sad for the humans to get extinct, because it would be cool indeed to go out and spread to other planets, maybe meet other intelligent species from other worlds and all that, but I honestly don't believe that won't happen in time before we accidentally or on purpose manage to erase all other life on this planet.:)
We all know the planet is too crowded. No one wants to volunteer to rectify the problem via their own demise If you truly mean this, check out http://www.vhemt.org/ for some information on how to help preventing the overcrowding in a humane way.

Yes... but will they ship with Linux?

You know, it would be even funnier if you had changed a digit or two, or swapped some...

Dammit, and I was going to use this for warezing down some Time Warner movies!
I think progress goes slightly faster in your universe than in our.

Or, you know, those photos that you rather don't want anyone else to see... *ahem*
No no no, you're doing it wrong. I'll fix it for you:
This is /. I'm not going to be impressed until he has them all turned into a beowulf cluster.
Now if you could only find a credible link about intelligence being hereditary, your post would also make sense!
That's exactly what we have.

Wooo...

...ooosh!
Not to mention WWI and WWII.
To make sure they pick someone else, that does not have a gun.

The author of the work can always release his work under any license he sees fit. The problem would be any code contributed by others in this case.

Or ditch all that Z80 and 8088 crap and get a Commodore 64 running a 6510 - with infinitely better graphics and sound as a bonus.
Well, you could build your own solar panel as well, although a quick googling seems to indicate that you would get some 0.5 to 1% efficiency. :P
