GUIs exist for GnuPG, but their installation is complex. $pkgmanager --install kgpg is complex? If that's too hard for you I heard Ubuntu has a GUI for the package manager too, preinstalled so you don't have to think at all!
He didn't say that he never reboots the OS, just that he never cold-boots it or powers it off when it's not in use. I do the same with my desktop, but then it's running several web-facing services so I've got an excuse.
The concept is still there, just look at the e17 desktop. It's *possible* to write software that's fast and efficient and has a pretty GUI and even runs on a 400MHz machine smoothly... but nobody will, because why do that when you can just be lazy and slap 100 lines of code on top of a.NET/Java/XULrunner toolkit?
Have you seen the pre-interview? The guy seems to be on a permamnet mushroom trip. Or maybe, you know, the stress of being accused of murdering his significant other is having an effect on him?
I've got an Aureal card here that could probably have perfect hardware OpenAL support, if not for Creative buying them out then sitting there doing nothing with it to force everyone onto its inferior 3D system instead. There _was_ a separate project trying to do exactly the above, but it looks like it's been dead for years:(
For all the racial propaganda they spread about Iran or N.Korea or whoever being a potential terrorist threat to the rest of the planet, only the USian government is both capable of that and insane enough to go through with it.
When it gets to that point and it's obvious the false positive rate is 100%, we just rename it from no-fly to non-terrorist and lock up anyone not on it.

And how do you think that physical box works? Hard-wired transistors between the ethernet ports?
Fifteen years, what's your point.
Could Linux do this 30 years ago? Could anything else, for that matter?
Yes there IS hope - just look at the PS3 launch.

Ugh.
I don't know what fascist dictatorship you live under, but in my part of the world it's "innocent until proven guilty".
So... their use of the word was completely correct then?
And when you think about it, that's a good thing.
Imagine everyone throwing out their PS2s to run old games on that power-sucking monster.
Agreed, Creative are bastards.
:(

The SQL server's probably not optimised for that since people don't usually do weird things like 300 ALTERs per minute.
Yeah, perhaps they realised any price they pay would be far more than this bubble 2.0 site's actually worth.
And that scares the shit out of me.

Or the RIAA. They fit the textbook definition of terrorist quite nicely.
That's easy.

That'll still be great compared to the state of things now.
They probably meant they don't want the situation where some games start being released on HD-DVDs.
unsigned int x,y,z,n;
arbritrary_values(&x, &y, &z, &n);
assert(n>2);
assert(pow(x,n)+pow(y,n)!=pow(z,n));
The proof for that was something like 200 pages and took approximately 300 years, IIRC.
"Method for single-click acquisition of condiment stains on printed material"?
When you add enough legal bullshit wording, it's not hard to fool people into taking it seriously.
Actually Ubuntu likes to do the same to one of my PCs by helpfully "upgrading" the ndiswrapper driver to an incompatible native one every so often.
Airlines?
Um, I just looked at vgcharts and the very first line of text on their front page is saying they get their numbers from NPD.
Imagine if the remaining game companies making PS3 games start pulling support over this.
