Yes, we do, for the same reason we want other software to be open source.. security. If we can see into a program's source, we can identify potential security issues. By releasing the trojan's source code, Skype can fix their software.
Even worse is that you could spend real world money for farmed ISK, then buy PLEXes, which means that none of your money was going to CCP for an extension of your gametime.
There is a legitimate in-game system for buying and selling ISK, it is a part of the market and doesn't break it. Farming is not a part of that system.
This. My 360 is one of the originals (according to the manuf date it was made in early 2006, though I bought it late 2007) that are most prone to RROD, but I've never gotten one, not even a temporary one due to overheat (my friend has gotten several of those, but no dead console (yet)).
It's not fair to say Microsoft is selling a defective piece of equipment. They are selling hardware that is known to become defective, but it's not a 100% rate either. On a side note, I have a hard time believing that 54.2% of ALL units have failed.. I get the feeling it's more like 54.2% of all Xbox 360 owners have had a failed unit, and even that's pushing it. In the limited sample pool of maybe twenty or so people I know that own an Xbox 360, only two have had them fail.
I'm also curious as to what hoops one has to jump through to get those interoperable across all three systems... after all Microsoft is just.NET, right? Is this rewriting something 3 times or making shared objects or what?
Well, Microsoft's Azure is in.NET, and Google's AppEngine is Python, but Amazon's EC2 is basically a virtual machine (you load your image in from S3, can be Linux or Windows). I would assume you could just write a common object in Python, have a IronPython hook to Azure, a plain Python hook to AppEngine, and a hook to whatever method you use to host your service in EC2 (like mod_python or whatever, if you're using Apache). This is if you intended interoperability from the start, however. Otherwise you'd probably have to rewrite it at least once (since EC2 could run Python, or.NET/Mono).
Not as a debit card, no. Ones like mine with the Visa or Mastercard logo, however, can be processed as credit cards, however. It has a CVV and everything.
Telemarketers calling cell phones using autodialers is supposed to be illegal. And all are legally required to stop calling if you tell them to take you off their list.
2. So they don't have to give my grandmother their cell phone numbers.
As strange as that might sound, I do know a few people that keep their landlines just to keep certain individuals from calling them on their cell phones.
There's two issues with subscription GPS - the bigger one being a dependancy on cellular service. If you're in a dead zone, and lost, the last thing you want is the GPS app you're paying $10/mo. for not to work. The other is, after 10 months, the TomTom app has paid for itself in comparison. (This is also true of getting a standard GPS nav for your car. I find having TomTom on my phone to be much more convenient, though.)
If the software can depend entirely on the car kit's attached GPS (which it should be able to), there's no reason it wouldn't work with the Touch. There's no hardware or software difference when it comes to communicating over the dock connector.
Yes. I got my iPod Touch replaced from Apple. I took the replacement home, synced it with iTunes, and back were all my applications, even the paid ones.

I think that just means you're addicted to pizza!
As the AC above me referenced, National Instruments uses PCI-e for a lot of their backplane communications in their equipment.

The clone troopers (Ep. 2 and 3) were clones, the storm troopers (Ep. 4, 5, and 6) were not.
The point is that Linux would simply not exist except for the efforts of non-paid developers.
Linus was paid to do it? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't exist if he didn't start it in the first place.
Is it a requirement to CHANGE anything in the kernel? If they're just using stock builds, what is there to give back?
Sorry, correction. Azure also supports other languages such as PHP, Ruby, and Python, according to their site.

Psst, common carrier only applies to the telephone part of the telecoms, not the internet.

I had a debit card at the age of 16, and it is processable as credit. It is not a validation method of proving age.
If only this hadn't been posted in April their jobs could have been saved!

Just offer a 'buy 16,666, get one free!' Works every time.
It's probably just a software firewall that blocks your MAC instead of your ethernet port.

I think in California, it's a tiered pricing scheme, though that's for residential, as far as I know. FYI: IANAC (I Am Not A Californian)
Your sense of smell is a little behind, I think. They been advertising for it for a while..
