No. Next question. No kidding. From the summary itself:
It is currently not bug-free, but it compiles on x86 platform, and work is being done on it to take on GCC's job. I think they just answered themselves.....
As a professional stuntman, I can't stress enough how dangerous it is to perform these kinds of antics without appropriate training, preparation, and room. He even says in the video that he normally isn't the driver. And then he tries this.....
customers who have Macs or iPods without a legitimate way to purchase and watch And what about those that don't have iPods (yes, we exist). With only having the stuff on iTunes, I don't have a way to watch it right?
The submitter just cut-n-pasted from the article. Which had links. It looked like this on screen
sites like YouTube (magnify glass), Revver, Heavy.com but when you cut-n-paste the (magnify glass) turned into
sites like YouTube Latest News about YouTube, Revver, Heavy.com So not only are the editors not reading the submissions, the submitters aren't reading the submissions!
There is no reason that cable shouldn't be REQUIRED to service these areas if they want a monopoly.
Who should be required. Where I am in WI, there are at least 3 different cable providers in the state. My village has cable and broadband. 1 mile away, I leave the village and enter a township. They have no cable at all (so, obviously, no broadband). Since cable companies negotiate their monopoly with each municipality (at least in WI, it isn't state wide), who is responsible? Time Warner? Comcast?
I don't disagree with the statement, but I don't see how to enforce it...
The U.S. banned international online gambling because of pressure (read: bribes) from the big domestic casinos
lobbying == bribing? Awful cynical there, aren't you?
they just say 'well, follow the standards that have been set before', which is a problem if you want to push the
envelope."
This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever read. You are trying to "push the envelope" and you are surprised that you have a problem getting the rating you want?
Anyone still running D1 is a sucker.
Or anyone that doesn't want to always see the first line of troll posts (did I really need to read the first line of the troll about horses mating? I don't even want to post a link to it.....)
I would be happy to see the profanity stop. (Of course, with the new discussion system, I still see the first line of troll posts, where profanity often abounds.) And I am not saying this because I am a prude, it is just another example (to me) how the quality of/. has decreased over the years....
but the punishment must ALWAYS be less severe than the crime itself
Hmmm... So if I steal $100,000 from a bank, the punishment should be to return the $100,000? After all, that is the crime itself.
Punishment is supposed to be a deterrent. Therefore, the punishment should be worse than the crime.
I don't think you really find that amusing. I think it pisses you off. I think maybe you are even a little put out by the idea of anything being free, and relish the commoditization of everything that was once cooperative and social. It all smacks of hippie liberal activism, doesn't it? All these tiny, unimportant people, talking amongst themselves and screwing with the God given right of important people to make a profit, it's horrible, isn't it?
Wow. That is quite an inference you just made. It more sounds like you hate the idea of someone making a buck much more than I like the idea of someone making a buck.
I always find it amusing when people complain about things like this. You got something for free once. Now it should be free forever.
If you don't like it, don't pay for it. It is pretty simple. If enough people refuse to pay for it, it will go back to being free. Or are you concerned that enough people will pay for it and you won't have a choice?
One interesting comparison someone pointed out to me is this: people think of Microsoft as a monopoly. But can you imagine them charging you for a "loading Windows sound" the way telecoms charge you for ringtones?
For the closedness and proprietarity of MS, they actually give you quite a bit of freedom with your machine... when compared to a cell phone.
That isn't the best comparison. You are talking about MS charging for something that used to be free, where in cel phones it didn't exist and it was being changed from the beginning. This of the first PCs. They had no sound except a speaker (which was free and provided free sounds). You have to purchase a sound board to get the sound (which is not generally built into the motherboard).
And of course it's closed-source, which means it has few advantages over several other alternatives.
Did I really just read on/. that closed source has advantages over open source? Or is my irony meter just broken this morning.....
Legally, I suppose it would be within your right to create a fork under GPL2 but ethically and morally it would be stealing since the original copyright holder (Michael R Sweet) was the main contributor and any other patch contributors assigned rights to him before they were included in the repository. You would basically be carrying out a coupe and violating the spirit of the license if not the letter of it by taking something none of you owned and creating a fork of it.
Are you implying that forks are ethically wrong? Sounds like every fork I have ever heard of....
The right reciprocated when Clinton got elected by trying to impeach him essentially because he was a Democrat.
We will overlook the whole lying under oath and classied FBI files in the white house that shouldn't be there
And you see Republicans also proposing to allow members to opt out of union dues for political purposes
So, if I am in a job that requires me to be in the union and I disagree with the union's political policies, I should allow my union dues to be used for policies I disagree with? (of course, if I disagree with unions I should be able to not have to join the union, but that is a different issue)

This has been in pre-order since the Spring catalog, so at least 4 months....
Anyone else think it just doesn't sound right? A bike should sound like a bike, not an electric drill. Especially a drag bike...
Worse....

Ever!
Hmm. Since I haven't used iTunes before I assumed you needed the iPod to watch. Did I just learn something on /. ?

Hey, look at that. Click on the comment title again, and it collapses.
sigh...
