That's simply a truism. There is no piece of software for which this isn't true. Everything , to a first approximation, violates some patent somewhere. Until somebody cowboys up and actually sues for infringement, this is purely scaremonge

Hmm. I don't think I'd call an oven with a high-temperature cleaning cycle 'standard'. It would have to be pretty new, and would set you back well over a grand (I spent £800 on an oven and everyone told me I was crazy...). Edit: I think it

Worse, Windows up to Server 2003 by default stores LAN Manager hashes as well. To describe the cracking of these as 'trivial' would trivialise the work 'trivial'.

>brown goods are tvs, stereos etc Huh. I've always heard those referred to (on the few rare occasions) as black goods. Maybe it's generational.

Exactly. This is an effective user-centric strategy that to me explains how Chrome has made such massive inroads in a deeply entrenched area - it gets out of the way and isn't annoying. (Until your swapfile hits 6GB, and Windows starts moan

It's probably worth giving it a go but unless you have very mainstream musical tastes, expect to be at least somewhat disappointed. Their catalogue isn't too bad for a free service (probably around 40% of what I search for comes up with use

Hell yes. Normally I complain that sub-pixel rendering suffers too badly from colour fringing on any display with a low enough resolution for it to be worthwhile. In that case I'd say that the colour fringing suffered a little from having a

Which boils down to: There's a reason that architects and engineers use schematics, rather than just writing instructions in prose.

Broadly speaking, I disagree somewhat. I don't think there's anything I own without a working understanding of how it functions, or at the very least the ability and willingness to attain that understanding if required. If I owned a car, I

Thank you for clarifying. I disagree with your conclusion, but I believe I now understand why you hold it. The idea of positive/negative liberties was hard for me to grasp because it seems like a distinction which is of little practical sig

It seems rather more likely that in many of those cases, they will wonder why it was ever acceptable for governments not to do those things. For millenia, human societies have drifted slowly but surely towards the left, with a constant in
