Sure, now it's optional and only in Australia. Soon it'll be in the UK, and then the US. After a while, they'll find some way to make it mandatory... I foresee something to the effect of "Kids could use your computer, and we must protect kids from the evil intertubes", and good luck to you if you speak up. "What, you want to hurt children? What kind of monster are you? Pervert!"
Hopefully I am overreacting, but I don't think I am.
I'll be happy when someone starts to enforce the laws of physics. I mean, do you ever hear about someone in court because they violated the second law of thermal dynamics? Didn't think so. What are we going to do when people stop following them?? It will be lunacy, I tell you!
Everyone knows there is at least a 1% chance (per hour) that this guy may go crazy and go on a killing binge, become a terrorist or worst of all, pirate music! All because of his new jaw! Maybe you need to rethink what could possibly go wrong!!
Unlikely, since vista has many problems with those strange obscure apps and runs older games slower. I wouldn't say the Eee PC is targeted at the video game demographic, ether, and there are more than enough random apps in software repos to replace just about any small windows program.
A wiki admin- a real one, not one of the many bureaucrats who's only status symbol is a "This user is an ADMIN" userbox. You could also go to to the copyright phone number, at least you'd likely get an employee... than a redshirt... http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Designated_agent
They may do nothing, but a random person on the internet isn't going to be able to do much. An admin (as I noted, a real one) for the site where it's posted is normally the best person to handle it. If not, maybe they could at least tell you what to do.
Another money-grubbing group wanting to milk anything creative for any possible dollar it may earn, while making use of and promoting imaginary property. What happened to unions being for the working class person getting stepped on by big business?
From a single person's perspective, the sun does rise and set, however, the earth does not gain 'corners' nor is it totally visible from a mountain top even then.
You, sir, are a geek hero. You have ascended past the Chief of Fleet Engineering in the Star Trek Role Playing Game I am a member in. Congratulations.:)
Unless the women is rich and powerful, then it may work the other way around. And what happens if you are a women? *Notices domain* Oops, never mind.:)
I had a laptop as a server (yes...). I rebooted it weekly. What exactly are you talking about? Even overclocked laptops don't need shut off to not overheat.
I thought the same when I started using it. Actually, you can read my complaints on their forum. The thing is, after I made the commitment that I was *going* to learn it, and after I stopped trying to do things the old 3ds ways, it started to come naturally. Now I can do far more impressive work than in 3ds, much faster.
It's painful to LEARN, not use (though there are a few UI annoyances, like the non-standard save/load menu). I'd suggest if you really want to learn it, throw the tutorials (they often offer irrational, hard or just bad ways of doing things) and old knowledge out the window and learn it. Once you know it, you may understand why they kept the interface.
I am sure, though, if this was Microsoft, you'd be lambasting them for it. Yet, it's OK because it's Apple. Apple is hip and cool, so whatever they do is justified.
If I post a sign on the wall that says "A means a punch in the face, B means free dinner" and ask you "A or B", I would still be in the wrong for punching you in the face for saying A. Just because someone can give you ice to put on that black eye doesn't make it any less wrong.
"The right to free speech does not include the right to a vehicle for your speech."
This line is exactly why we have the likes of "free-speech zones". Actually, it does include the right to have a vehicle for your speech- just not every vehicle. I am not sure ISPs, being the near-monopolies they are, should be left out in that right.
Anyone can *get* a patent or copyright, that grants them the special privilege of restricting other's from the use of the patented/copyrighted material. Hence, special privilege.

That sounds incredibly useful...
It would be comical if the list got leaked, though.

If they didn't tell that at all, Opera would have nothing to whine about.
Maybe that's what should happen next time.
Your pointy-haired boss has a gun.

Not me. I multi-task all the time, and finish everything I start. Just proof this

I, for one, welcome our new genetically-modified mutant furry overlords.

Bringing sense to a meme-war? You must be new here.

No! You just applied Russian Reversal in a way that (almost) makes sense! *Goes out and acts as if the world is about to end.*

The Airforce, I would hope...
Oh, wait, they aren't real, you say? Well then...

According to my calculator, that has never been wrong in the past, it's 3824345300380220.
