Linux isn't an acronym PHP is one of those stupid recursive acronyms So really the acronym is the name. iOS apple never called it anything else. So it is its real name.
SOPA I would say isn't reasonable for everyone to know what it is or what it stands for. For one it is new. It is for a new bill, it hasn't been around for years. Secondly it is what the United States Congress calls it, Other countries are not always involved what the US is doing all the time... Also us Americans may not always be into seeing every bill that comes out of the US. Third Slashdotters don't always log in every day, or week or month. So when they come it these articles make no sense.
Giving a word that has "strong negative connotations" [citation] doesn't mean that the person is actually doing something bad or wrong.
Profiteering are usually reserved to people who profit from a war who are not allied with any side except for the one who pays the most. The poster didn't say nor did I say in my post that he should also take bids from the local opposition too and take the highest bidder, get into a contract where you are working for both sides, or get a job in a war zone that isn't really involving the United States.
You shouldn't judge ethics by looking up the definition of words and if someone is doing something that is defined under a word that has a negative connotation without really understanding all the issues involved, because there are also words with the same definition with a positive connotation.
With your living expenses paid for too... If you are single, and willing to take the risk, that is good solid money, You can save up/invest a boat load of money. When the US picks up you can get a good job there too and with 200/300k saved up you will be on good standing.
Not as much getting paid, but keeping the peace. This tool is for getting rid of the sleezball advertisers who will do anything to get their adds out. But there are the good ones who do it nicely, and don't try to trick you into clicking into it. Or take forever loading your pages. We want to encourage good advertising, really we do, the alternative is that we will need to pay for content to access web sites, especially professional ones who have staff that they need to pay for.
Sure you pay for Slashdot, but are you willing to pay for all your sites? A Google search for a technical answer will require you to pay $0.25 to see the answer?
And if Addblock gets too aggressive you are going to enter in an Addblock vs. Website owner war where they find ways to stop addblock and addblock finds way to stop the websites. And at the end everyone will lose, consumer will have sites that break on them all the time or they get bombarded with adds, websites loose revenue, add makers need to spend more and more money to make their adds smarter, addblock needs to put more and more resources to make its tool stop the advertisers.
This way the advertisers who gets block will need to try to prove that they are not being abusive. If they cannot they need to admit that they are abusive and their customers will need to question them on it.
Granted however if you run algorithms that will correctly motion blur each image. you will be able to view things at mostly any speed you want and not have it seem choppy.
I am happy to see technology getting to a point where improvements in some areas have become impractical as they are surpassing our ability to observe them. Just like how the Now High resolution displays are getting to a point we no longer need to get any higher (We need to get a bit higher so we cannot see a pixel attached to a display on a contact lens) . Once we get computing to exceed our physical limitations improvements in system will then shift to focus on other areas that needs improvements. Part of the reason why PC don't seem to go any faster is the fact you were happy with windows at 600x480 display back in the day. Now anything less then 1024x768 is insane. And you should be higher then that. So that is more pixels on your screen that needs memory and processing power (now offloaded to the video card mostly) but still a lot of processing in terms of percentages goes to your interface. As we exceed our physical limitations processing will go to faster applications and processing of data and less to keeping up with the user experience.
The PC developer emulator (A virtual box image) Made a lot of actions very difficult to do with a mouse, I often got into a screen or settings where I couldn't get out without having to reboot the image. Now this wasn't it running on a real device that it was meant for so the mouse interface was inadequate for it. And the iOS emulator was much smoother and easier to use on your computer. As well the blackberry interface (however that crashed when I looked at it the wrong way)
The study went to collage campuses at around 10:00pm on Friday They pulled all the people partying, drinking, and smoking pot and other stuff what browser they used then they went to the computer science labs and pulled the students working in the lab.
Dewey Defeated Truman when the pollsters only pulled people in country clubs. The math was correct... The sample size was good, the problem was the sample wasn't random enough.
Or pull questions that can be used to direct people into answering the questions in a particular way."Do you believe that a mother has the right to kill her own baby?" or "Do you think the woman has the right to choose how to live their life?"
Am I the only one who is quite frustrated by the abuse of Math in modern society, where numbers and percentages are spat out without giving us the data to make recheck the decision ourselves and evaluate the data. I mean we have protests and people getting arrested and some hurt and killed over their particular summarized summary of the data. Those 99%ers vs the 53%ers. Where everyone thinks they are the majority because the numbers that have been manipulated shows them to be right.
Give us the raw data. Let us see and and peer check it ourselves see if we come with the same conclusion. I much rather be wrong and know the truth then think I am right and live a lie... But I may be the minority on that, I didn't collect any data on that.
Those must be some bad MBA schools in your area. I got an MBA and I was never taught we should outsource everything. We were taught to get venders when the requirements word distract the existing staff from their mission focus. I had to read case studies where outsourcing worked well and when it failed miserable and should have kept the inside staff. We were taught the complexities of global business and that American staff tend to be more productive and creative even though they cost more. How bean counting causes you to miss the good envestments. And a good HR policy means treating your workers right and at a good pay. I am willing to bet there are less MBA but BBA who are out of a 4 year business with no experience, trying to save money by stepping on the backs of anyone who gets in their way. The MBA program is far more responsible.
It is against making revenue from producing software. Not from generating revenue. the GPL. You can sell your software... But after you sell a few copies it will get posted on the web and then it is all over, because given the option someone will get the free version vs. the paid and get the same. the GPL. You can sell distributions of it. However this model is threatened because data transfer makes it easy to share over the net those big files. Who needs to buy a CD or DVD when Downloading them takes minutes. the GPL. You can sell support and consulting services. This is all fine and good until you start making money off of it and someone bigger will come and and take away your deal.
So if you make big and bloated and hard to use software then you can make money off of it being open source. If it is small, light, efficient and easy to use then you will not profit off of it.
I hear everyone saying how much they will miss Web-OS or want it in their device... I never really heard on any details why it is so much better then iOS or Android?
My experience was with the Virtual Box VM image that you can use to emulate for development. I wasn't happy. But that was a PC interface for a mobile OS. So why should Web-OS really deserve to survive.
That is the gist of it. RMS in his war against software profits. Makes it harder and harder to support the GNU every version. Too Bad two early GPL did a lot to expand open source. The newer stuff is limiting its adoptions because it is too controlling.
I am not disagreeing with the assumption but they way they bastardize math to show it is my rubbing point.
Some better math... Show how many Standard Deviations away from the median these companies are.
These percentages distort the truth by forcing the assumption that the rich have equal wealth to the poor, to the reader to get them riled up.
There are a lot of ways to do this. Perhaps there is one company who has 80% and the rest of the Top 6 are really low and of more equal footing as the other say 100 companies and then the rest are Mom and Pop media.
Open source limits your options. Can you make money with Open Source... Yes you can but you need to have some value add on top of your software you will not make money off your software itself. You will be able to make money by offering support, or just using the software to perform the services, and if you are good at it your company may prosper... However you cut out making money from actually selling the software. Now if you software is easy to use and doesn't really need much extra support you are doing a lot of work and all you may get out of is a warm and fuzzy feeling that you helped a lot of people while you are freezing because you cannot afford heat. Also with consulting services with your own open source product. You will grow to a point then some bigger company can come in and take your thunder. (Like IBM) And use your product to make themselves money and compete directly with you. If you go out of business no big deal for the big they will take your product over (Free Product and R&D, they just take over where you left off).
Closed source is your high card in your pocket. If they are going to do what you do, they will need to work at it. Giving you time to improve your product and keep the advantage over your competitors.
If your code is closed source you can always open it later (as long as you keep all the code clean enough to do so) if you Open Source it then it is out there. If you close it, a bulk of the work is still out and can be forked.
Simple obvious fact one: The larger company will have a larger market share. Simple obvious fact two: The smaller company will have less market share.
So if some companies are bigger then they will have more Market Share and control then the others.
So if the top 6 companies (assume they are all equal) own 90% share then each one only has 15% market share. Which is big but no means a monopoly.
Percentages are a way of summarizing real data. However by grouping and summarizing the summary. And clustering data in a particular way you can prove anything you want.
Think the 99%ers vs. the 53%ers they both choose different measurements and summarize and group values differently to prove their point.
If you are so against religion. Why do you feel it is important to bring it up. Most of these debates come up with some atheist comment. Then religious people get defensive and fight back.
The vocal fry is common amungst men public speakers for years. The movie trailer guys, or political comerical. Think when a GOP comerical says "Liberal Allies". It come to reason women will take more of the men's speaking pattern as they become more common in public speaking.

Jobs never really got much into the console gaming market.

To keep things legit... Put a high voltage label on it.

Really need to upgrade my Blu-Ray Player. I have none of those features.
you mean... you are seeing the Xbox your spin around twice In a Pirouette and walk right towards it. It's not the XBox 180 or the XBox 540.

Decrease in world demand (From their customers trying to be greener) means less product to sell.

At least now without altering the results.
And RMS is now ranting against those. Next version of the GPL will put an end to that..

That and Canada has a good size oil supply to sell.
