Comment How to sit when driving then? (Score 1) 291
I don't have a long commute to work, but tend to recline a bit when driving. I'm not as bad as some that are basically lying down and looking through the steering wheel, but I'm not at the recommended 135 degree angle.
Majority of my driving is highway based and faster the posted highway speeds where you want to see the deer before they try to cross traffic.

DRM Hole Sets Patch Speed Record For Microsoft 397
puppetman writes "Wired columnist Bruce Schneier has an article up called 'Quickest Patch Ever', about a patch that was issued within three days to fix a vulnerability in Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM)." From the article: "Now, this isn't a 'vulnerability' in the normal sense of the word: digital rights management is not a feature that users want. Being able to remove copy protection is a good thing for some users, and completely irrelevant for everyone else. No user is ever going to say: 'Oh no. I can now play the music I bought for my PC on my Mac. I must install a patch so I can't do that anymore.' But to Microsoft, this vulnerability is a big deal. It affects the company's relationship with major record labels. It affects the company's product offerings. It affects the company's bottom line. Fixing this 'vulnerability' is in the company's best interest; never mind the customer."

How is this insightful? That metaphor is way off base. Prohibition put morality on trial, while pirating software is theft of a product that required development time, support, administrative costs, etc. You're proposing that we take action against our legislators that feel that stealing should be punished? Do we revert to a feudal society next? I think if you really looked for a mandate on this issue you would find that perhaps besides the subsection of online culture that makes up many Slashdot readers like yourself, people don't think theft should be legalized.
