Same here :-) There should be a poll so we can see how the popular methods compare.

That's the way I keep my keys. Hook to one of the belt loops near the pocket and I can swing the keys into the pocket if they get too jingly.

1. It's a theme. If you don't like it, use a different theme, or edit it to do what you want it to do.

2. I agree with Shuttleworth. If everybody is allowed input into the process, the result will be like this one,

"What if a corporation created the STOP sign", linked to at various places, like this one

We used to go out to Death Valley regularly. It's not a big deal if you carry enough water and food, and don't take silly risks (or do, if you carry spare parts and tools). My five year old son went out to DV with me when he was nine months old. Camped out in the old Indian summering ground at 9000ft :-)

I didn't see where they actually said you can't drop off the grid, but they do ask that you list five activities or so that you would commit to, without spelling out what those activities may be.

The three things I can't live without? Easy, air, water, food :-)

I'm with you on the wilderness trek thing.

disappearing into Death Valley for a month. Good luck finding me :-)

He could have made the copies but retained the DRM. Or, he could have made exact DVD copies with the DRM in place. OK, so it's not possible to make exact copies of dual-layered DVD but that's a technological issue, not legal.

I don't understand how the two laws are contradictory.

and then it's every man for himself. You want to protect your own butt so you might want to be the first to call the BSA. You'll want to do this so the people at previous company doesn't frame you for it.

when something goes wrong, roll back to pristine VM image. Keep the host running something sane, and not use the host to browse the web at all. This should reduce your Family Tech Support workload drastically.

Now instead of one easy target, your sploits have to work on 32- and 64-bit kernel, as well as on SPARC, ARM, PPC, MIPS. Where does one find the time?!?

But no time (or presence of mind) to push the selector into neutral? How about turning the ignition off? What?

The stupid, it burns!

We tend to go to places where cellphone reception is next to impossible (Death Valley, Moab, out kayaking on on open waters, etc.) You really need standalone GPS with proper maps for this sort of activities.

Wouldn't want to be around one when the mirror / imaging plane shatters. Also pity the poor child who manages to get his/her hands past any containment system.

Looks like a more polished version of LED-POV displays that many people have gotten to work already.

The arguments he makes regarding Netgear's binary blob can also be made about VIA's famous on-again off-again open-source stance. Where are the complete documentation for their Chrome chipsets?

"Apparently they either did not do that, or they chose to ignore the values/rules by which this community works" ... hmm, VIA does this all the time.

"or they had somebody with limited understanding to advise them" ... and I thought Welte was supposed to advise VIA on Open Source?

"If anyone has a relationship with Netgear and contacts to the product manager responsible for this product" ... people have been contacting Welte forever. Did anything positive come out of it?

"Netgear, you can do much better than that!". Right, VIA can't, yet Netgear can ...
