You don't even have to imagine, just grab an Android tablet. Flash - as it is used on the web today - is difficult and unpleasant to use via touch. This is mostly due to the movies being optimised for mouse, not touch. If you include Flash

If nobody lived at 65 you'd get "return to sender" or similar. The point is receiving mail is a passive act, interception is not. Regardless of the researchers' intentions, somebody has a responsibility to address their mail correctly. I ge

If there are plenty of good uses for the code, I'd still want to improve it, even if I find out it's used by the Kitten Krusher 3000. Unless a "please don't use this code for evil" license is legally binding, that's just the nature of open

I don't see any such thing on their download page, only for stable and beta. I think linux users are better equipped than most to build it from source, however...

The suggested law is like a police car who can't catch the speeder, so instead takes the easy target and fines the guy who didn't actively stop the criminal. After all, he deserved to catch the guy, so surely he deserves the fine money too?

In a lot of OO languages instances rarely have different behaviour to each other. You are also forgetting that it's possible to have more than one printer using the same driver (i.e. multiple instances of a class of printers). This is n
