Your alternative scenario boils down to "who cares if other people are watching, let's go develop warp drive so they will feel right talking to us." As the Prime Directive of Star Fleet tells us.

well, Blu-ray isn't that great. Jobs is right, the world is moving towards downloadable content. The only viable long term usage for blu-ray would be backups. One blu-ray disk is roughly equivalent to 5 dvds in terms of storage. Unfortunate

If you're willing to forgo graphics, I find newsbeuter ( http://www.newsbeuter.org ) to be a great reader. It has excellent mutt-esque key bindings, amazing customizability, etc.

It was a very interesting read. On a side note, I want to thank you for all you've done on security for bsd - the OS I primarily use.

My mistake, Sen. Lieberman claims it limits the President's power.

I don't use firefox (uses up too much memory for my liking), however, it's good to know that it's a preference that's easily changed. Of course, the people who download FF4, don't know about the change, and don't know how to change the pref

Python. Sure, it's not meant to be a "learning language", however, one can simply ignore the "hard" stuff (e.g. classes, separate modules), and focus on the easy stuff (e.g. the fact that it is executable pseudocode)

in an actual war or emergency, the president would issue one of those things called "executive orders" - basically laws that don't need to go through congress. There is no justification for this bill to exist, other than because these senat

well, as a user, there's no real way for you to know that aptitude purge completely removes everything, you have to trust that it works. Sure, as a power-user or developer, you can go look around /etc or /usr/share or wherever and remove al

As a ham radio operator, I know what all "danger" a cell phone has. Which is, little if at all. I mean, looking at the physics, these devices send, at most, half a watt from a dipole antennae. Even at the frequencies used by cell phones, th

Personally, I'm of the opinion that we downvote comments that aren't civilized. I think that has proven to work fairly well.

well, in that case, wouldn't it be the fault of whoever caused you damage - maybe the photograph was innocently taken, but the group that uses the facial recognition data to attack you obviously need to give you money.

I think that what should happen is that the courts will use the same rules in slander cases for facial recognition of photos: if it hurts you, and you're not a public person, then you just need to prove that they caused you pain in whatever
