Funny, but I thought citizens were guaranteed rights to a fair trial.
What a quaintly pre-9/11 notion.

I miss Micropolis.
I don't. I worked in data recovery back then, and we used to nickname them "Micrapolis" because we saw so many.
You mean like only allowing official Microsoft-branded memory?
DOJ didn't do shit.
Eh, I find RedHat way too conservative. RHEL is still shipping Ruby 1.8, for example, and only has 1.9 in beta, even though 1.8 was EOL 6 months ago and 2.0 is stable.
Seems to me if you make sure your premium number is on the "Do not call" list, you should be in the clear.
... why would they want to thaw hundreds or thousands of people who are jobless with no family or means to support themselves, and will need extensive education and rehabilitation to re-enter society?
Slave labor. Medical experimentation. To put in zoos. There are many possibilities.
Gotta love their timing on this, given that Tor was just compromised using JavaScript malware.
In my password vault application I have 74 web sites over 15 computer logins
I work with computers and do a lot of online shopping, so I have over 600 login/password combinations in mine. Seriously.
Because the sexual moors of the early 20th century and prior are something we want to return to?

That doesn't explain why Java doesn't use the OS information for date and time formats and other i18n issues.
Why doesn't java use the operating system to provide that information in the first place?
Same reason they don't use the operating system to provide locale information. It's easier to do the lazy thing and implement your own locale system than work out how to interface to the POSIX one.
Same reason Python used to do the same. (I think Python may now use the OS locale, though.)
This is a strong overstatement, if M$ never released another version of windows you would still find windows being installed on new machine 30 years from now.
I don't know about that. In the 1970s, CP/M was as dominant as Windows was in the 1990s. When's the last time you saw CP/M being installed on a new machine?
Actually the US is first in nearly nothing, particularly if you prorate things per capita.
Nonsense!
The US is #1 in teenage pregnancies, #1 in gun ownership, #1 in healthcare costs,
Internal redistribution or not, there is always a chance that you may want to give some variation of the software to client/subsidiary company/whatever - and opening source at this moment (which might be linked to some in-house prioprietary libraries in meantime) is just not worth the effort.
Presumably you have a blanket ban on commercial software too, then, as it's not like you can redistribute that as you wish either.
