By signing an NDA, you sign away your right to free speech in regards to specific data.
I'm not sure what contract one signs or terms of service one agrees to when one signs up for Verizon phone service, but I'd bet it gives them the ability to sell data they collect.
Yet to take a stand on any issue He doesn't even have the balls to put forth his political opinion, and yet he wants to be President?
He's from Illinois politics Corruption is the way of the government in Illinois. I'm not sure anyone who's been through the Illinois political system has a clean past.
I never understood the argument for populating another planet as a means for survival. Surely it'll be easier to undo whatever we do to this planet -- a planet with resources we've harnessed, that has equipment, that we know has supported life -- than it would be to make another planet survivable.
But I'm not the smartest man in the world, although I am in the running for smartest ass in the world.
The second paragraph gives clear reasons why Apple should not acquire AMD. His reason for Apple to acquire AMD? Complete control over their hardware. Hardly worth it.
Yes, I was going to, but then I messed up the system I was building it on when I unpacked the kernel source. I haven't gotten around to trying again. (Luckily it was a virtual machine.)
So you're saying that people shouldn't have opinions?
The problem isn't that digg is removing the stories -- it's that they did it in secret, without warning, and banned the users. And that they claim to be "by the people, for the people" type of site. Also, did they get take down notices or did they do it just 'cause?
If your goal is to design and implement MySQL, you'll probably want the solid grounding that school offers you.
*sigh* Try getting out of school and learning a completely new subject on your own. You'll end up surprising yourself.
The fact is there is nothing unique that a university offers. The professors tend to be disinterested in teaching and the students (undergrads, at least) more interest in partying than learning. A college is not a place to get a truly deep understanding of material. It's where shallow learning takes place.
"Nintendo has not only increased the size of the market, but it has also re-segmented it in its own favor, in our view," Mitchell wrote.
Um... Isn't that what virtually any business aims to do? You don't think Microsoft and Sony are trying to do the same?
What Mitchell alludes to is the tendency for Nintendo-published titles to overrun the top end of sales charts on Nintendo platforms, leaving third party publishers out of luck sales-wise.
Although I haven't been following video games nearly as actively as I used to (read: at all), I thought Nintendo was making great strides to bring third parties on this generation, or at least claiming to.

Good thing a robot isn't a human.

The phone lines you'd be tapping are owned by Verizon. You'd be trespassing. Your argument has nothing to do with free speech.
One word: Hookers. Lots of'em!
I thought the whole point of Open Source was doing good for mankind in general, not categorically for the investors...
Man, some of you GNU weenies have HUGE egos. It's just code -- not a friggin' cure for cancer.
Furthermore, I could argue that improving the bottom is doing good for mankind. See Milton Friedman, et al.
Does Visual Studio count as a game?
No? Fine: Chess.
Blame the lawyers instead of figuring out a reasonable approach to DRM that doesn't burden the consumers while protecting the producers.
They used to call those 'laws'.
Yahoo isn't for sale. Microsoft wants Yahoo and is waving huge dump trucks full of money around in front of Yahoo HQ.
And I don't think most of Yahoo's sites have been trending downwards, the exception being their search engine, of course.
What makes you say that? Look at all the traffic Yahoo and it's sub-sites get.
There's also a lot to not like about him.

Seriously.
Plan B can either be riding out the storm or jumping ship. Both require prior work. Option A is, in my opinion, much more practical.
I still say it's easier to deal with whatever happens on Earth than it would be to bootstrap another planet.

A well-played Unreal Tournament match.
"HAT TRICK!"
[Gun fire]
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1!"
[Gun fire; Explosions; Crazy]
"FIRST BLOOD!"
"MUILTI-KILL..MEGA-KILL!"
And so on.

It's more like Plan 9's Fossil, only without the extremely cool Venti.
Because OpenBSD create top-notch software and needs money to do so.
"So why don't they be a friggin' business already," you say. Well, because they want to be open source. "So why not do both?" They do.
If you don't like it, don't use it. Or create your own ISO and distribute it.
You can also download the installation packages, burn those to a CD, and that along with the installation CD to do an offline install.
Or you could burn the packages to a CD and then boot bsd.rd.
I recently upgraded my firewall from a 3.x to 4.0 because the version I was running had a bug that didn't allow ALTQ rules to be unloaded from pf.
Now, the standard kernel is too big. Programs keep running out of memory. The machine is from, like, 1993. It's a 75MHz Pentium with 16MB of RAM.
Oops.

Clearly you're not from Chicago and think I'm playing party politics.
That's two ballots, which come pre-voted for Democrats, and each ballot will be ran twice.
That's how it's done over by 'dare.
