There is no precedent set because it wasn't a judgement, it was a plea. All the judge did in this case was approve the plea, and laws are not made by the DAs office.
Still at the same time, I very much dislike the aspect of the justice system that scares innocent people (or at the very least people who are not in the wrong) into accepting a sentance because they are afraid and do not want to fight. Oh well.
for the second one, there are many command line tools, but if you want to use explorer, just select all of the files at the same time, right click, properties. If you want to do it recursively, then use the find function to find all the files under the directory.
I'm sorry, but the first posters analogy is way more accurate. Honda ships Civics knowing that there are ways to break into them if you leave them out in public. Using a slim jim doesn't take a surprising amount of skill, and would be theives can practice on their own vehicles.
I've never seen a Windows box come as insecure as you state it. Most times you have to hook it up to a network and give it network settings to allow people to breakinto it. You have to turn on folder sharing and then share your drives before they are exposed to an attacker (or the attacker will have to go straight for the admin account and C$ but there you set up admin protection in the form of a password). IIS attacks? Forget it. Those are much harder than lifting a door handle, and for most people harder than learning how to use a slim jim.
Things don't work like in the movies: unless two computers are actually connected, they can't hack into each other. If they are, then you have to have affected that connection on your side.
Finally, you can actually modify your car so that a slim jim won't work on it (not that I suggest this, unless you are fine with smashing your window instead of calling a tow truck the next time you lock your keys in your car), much the same way you can secure your computer. You can buy previously secured cars for transporting mission critical things such as cash from your drop box, much like you can purchase security configured servers. Or you can drive your honda civic and send it in on any recall due to design flaws in the lock mechanism while using your windows box and patching it when they find a design flaw in their security.
No, but you would have to list all of the people you slept with (thus contributing to your work), and all of the people they slept with (contributing to theirs contributing to yours), etc etc. It would make tracking of communicable diseases easier tho.
After he is done processing the information; shoot him
I'm afriad that isn't enough. Analysis of the glia and neuron patterns will also reveal the information. You should also cut his head off and burn it with lighter fluid.
That is a terrible example. Snopes has a good article explaining the problems with using pencils (the inhalation and electrical problems, as well as fire hazards in a pure oxygen environment made wood pencils problematic). It also explains that NASA never paid for the R&D, both Americans and Russians used graphite pencils in the beginning and both Americans and Russians switched to Fisher Space Pens. Also it gives the cost of 400 pens NASA initially bought: $2.95 each (granted that was in 1967 dollars).
they need to stop screwing around with Potato and get Woody released
I don't understand this statement. I though that Potato, Woody, and Sid were just names for staging environments. first a package is put into Sid and if it's moderately stable and works well with other packages, then it is promoted to testing. Finally, after showing good stability and no breaking of other packages, it is promoted to Potato. If they "released" Woody, it would mean they promoted everything to Potato, meaning you would still have all three. Then packages would again trickle into Woody from Sid.
But maybe I hanve this understanding all flowled up.
even though he'd sent an email to a lawyer friend at Netscape saying that having installed IE was equivalent to selling his soul
This is really taken out of context. By saying this he meant installing IE, like selling his soul, was a fairly natural thing for him to do. He is a lawyer after all.
This has been my experience too. I started developing the sharp pain in my right hand four years ago. Almost immediately, I switched my mouse to my left hand. Now I regularly alternate hands for the mouse and I haven't had a problem again (yet). I also use as many keyboard accellerators as I can.
Since he added margin and retail margin afterwards, I think the $300 was supposed to be apple's OEM cost. But the other prices seemed kind of high for an OEM cost so I think it was just a bunch of numbers pulled out of an uncomfortable place (no, not the backseat of a volkswagon).
How is this politicians' faults?... We've created a society where in most families both the parents have to work simply to make ends meet.
Who is "we"? I had no role in deciding that 45% of my income should go to the government.
The amount of yaxation really has nothing to do with the fact that a double income is needed for a family. Regardless of the taxation rate, you have a relative standard of living. If you and everyone else had that 45% in your pocket, you wouldn't have a higher standard of living, since everything would be more expensive (since you would have more money).
The reason why double incomes are required now is because when women took to the workforce, men did not pull out. Thus, it became a norm to have 1.5-2 incomes per house. Because families have more income, things became more expensive (espcially family related things, since single people couldn't afford the raise in prices), and thus families now require both parents to work.
Hmmm. My bad I guess. I'm trying to figure out where in the parent chain it specifically talks about horizontal motion and planes (a retrorocket arrests forward motion, but that forward motion can be vertical), but breaks were mentioned and they are pretty much only good for horizontal motion.
Normally I hate posts correcting Taco's spelling/typos, but the guy's alias is scumdamn, not sumdamn, who doesn't exist, no matter how much I wish this might be the case.
Really, this is similar to saying, "why pay for a newspaper every morning when I can swipe one from the guy on the subway?"
Isn't it really more like "Why pay for a newspaper every morning, when I can swipe one left on the subway by some guy I don't know"? Something that occurs all the time and I'm doubtful most people question the ethics of grabbing an abandonned newspaper.
But then it isn't like that at all since the newspaper still makes their real profit from the advertising.

Yes, but yours was longer, more thought out, and funnier.
Ah yes, the same rationale that would have school busses tipping over at every slight corner.

If Woody is ready, why don't you just use it? (Note: that is the release I use)
Ok. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

I've never heard of a compact disk. I've got a lot of compact discs, but not compact disks.
