Crack as crack can (Dec 05 2006 12:59 GMT) - Besides this being funny, don't you recognize the importance of all this for the education of future computer scientists? Imagine a world without copy-protection and product-activation techniques! Would the computer kids generation be reverse-engineering to see a) how badly stuff is coded and learn from that and b) get to ... |

Crack as crack can (Dec 05 2006 12:53 GMT) - Karsten, why are you only buying a license to use the PC for x days? My understanding was that you buy the license to use WINDOWS for these x days (unless you register). I'm sure you are aware of other ways of using the PC, no involving Windows. Oh, and ... |

Music Review: Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Colorblind (Dec 05 2006 12:52 GMT) - Back in 2004, the Grammy Awards had a tribute to funk that featured Samuel L. Jackson playing a preacher and performances by Earth, Wind and Fire, Outkast, and George Clinton, but the man who stole the show, and my breath away, was Robert Randolph. I had never heard of him before that night, but he tore the roof off the mother with his blistering display on pedal steel guitar.

Bush Surrendering Presidential Prerogative? (Dec 05 2006 12:33 GMT) - Ed Morrissey is quite dismayed by the shake-up in the Bush foreign policy team marked by the ouster of Donald Rumsfeld, resignation of John Bolton, and now the transfer of Iraq envoy Zalmay Khalilizad. Given that Democrats and a handful of RINOs wanted to see a shakeup, this looks to Ed suspiciously like Bush [...] |

Box Office Update 12/1-12/3: Can't Stop Happy Feet or Bond (Dec 05 2006 12:25 GMT) - For three weeks, the same pair of films have reigned supreme above all others. It hasn't even been all that close during that span. Sure, the gap has been shrinking between these two and the rest of the field, but the gap is still in the multi-million range. Before Happy Feet and Casino Royale came out, I would not have believed that they would both be doing this well. |
