Its more like "We (US, PARTNERS, MATES) can do whatever (WITHOUT LIMITATION) with the content (EVERYTHING CONCEIVABLE)."
Well, I exaggerate, but a set of policies would be feasible. I define my trust of a site in fairly broad terms, I'm only really interested if they are going to sell my information to others, and whether I still own what I submit (regardless of content type).
Short, sweet and to the point. Fine use of rhetoricals and emphasis on the punchline. This well balanced piece is let down by its brevity and typos, I can't help but feel that Coward rushed this work.
As Penn Jilette says: "I would make executives more concerned with making money. I'm serious."
Walmarts executives are very interested in making money. They want to sell music, and they aren't especially interested in running DRM servers. They will use whatever method they can to get as much popular music into the hands of paying customers as possible.
$MusicLabel executives on the other hand are also interested in making money. They (until quite recently) seemed to think the best method of doing this was demanding keeping a vicelike DRM grip on the balls of the end-consumer. Until recently they were giving companies that wanted to deliver non-DRM content what is known in business as "the finger".
So possibly a better thing to say would be "$MusicLabel execs need to take a look at the pulse *here* and their finger, which is *here* firmly jammed up their own arsehole." - ozphx [slashdot.org].
My last Alfa had a rear foglight switch on the dash. I had it tested by a mate who was behind me, and it read "Fuck me, thats fucking bright", on his scale.
Last time I flew to Singapore they confiscated a pair of tweezers and then gave me a pointy metal fork (of DOOM) to eat with.
Then on the Singapore to Guangzhou leg I was even allowed a matching knife...
Methinks its only something to do with foreign security consultants having a good laugh at Americas expense. "Oh yes you should totally make them... um... put their hair in a hairnet. A pink one... for ummm... security reasons" *snigger*
Its not about survival of the individual, its about survival of the genetic code.
This can be via your pick of sperm donation, IVF, cloning, or just plain vanilla fucking with chocolate topping.
Increasing your life expectancy will help you donate/thrust more, granted. Remember the Darwin awards though: Shoot your nuts off and you're a contender!
The only thing I think it should have, which it doesn't, is generic types inheriting from a type parameter "Foo(of T) Inherits T". Or maybe thats a C# limitation, not sure. Might go check it out actually.
I think instead of dodging the question with more fud you should admit you don't know what the hell you are talking about, and are just looking for excuses to use the $ sign.
The MS Shared Source licenses are not viral. You may not create derivative works. Its Open, not Free (feel free to cry about that seperately), which is their choice to make.
IIRC Intel's compiler is by far the fastest, so I guess when it comes to compilers neither MS, nor the GCC folks have sufficient balls.
The only problem that I have with it, is that the goddamn space-bar scroll is 100% of a window height. Not something sane like 95% so you can see the last line of text you were reading.
Yeah Python developers tend to like Boo, which is very Python-inspired.
The CIL part of the CLI is stack-based, and is more of a "theoretically generic" intermediary language, and works for almost any purpose.
The CTS (Common Type System) does have some limits (no multiple inheritance except multiple interface inheritance). Your language implementation only has to play nice with the CTS if you want it to interoperate with other languages on the CLI. (Normally you can write an app in a whole bunch of languages and the metadata is exposed to the others - so you might choose to use C# for your core services, C++/CLI for interop work, and something like Python/Boo for your business layer).
I think the Eiffel implementation ditches the CTS, or extends it. That has its ups and downsides (mainly down imo).
To be frank, its extremely unlikely that you will encounter a showstopper bug that nobody else will, given their install base. I don't know of any developers who have been in this position. However, if it did happen, call your local MS office and you'll be able to pay to get work done (same way you can pay for patches to out of lifecycle products).

Worth your time. Three and a half stars.

Really helped with tailgaters.
Its pretty clear that if you are a KKK member like the AC then you are going to pick the nigger^W guy whos first on your mind.
Epic troll, Mr Nornoggin. You have my kudos.
A whole bunch of modern cars switch on the brake lights when you take your foot off the accelerator quickly (presumably in order to brake).
Why was I expecting:
I did this at Mcdonalds. The kid behind the counter called his manager over, and his manager told me it was illegal.
I told him to fuck off and get my food.
I'll give you a free hint: College students working two jobs at $5 an hour voluntarily purchasing 50,000 CDs in a year. I file that as "unlikely".

I have a certain amount of... shall we say... practice.... in this area.

Haha agreed ;)

When did you last personally audit your browser's source?
Ah don't worry too much, the Eiffel implementation on the CLR won't become the "mainstream" Eiffel environment.
Theres a lot of interesting things happening in the CLR regarding Mixins, etc. Take a look at some of the duck typing implementations in Boo.
I think Stardock had the magnification feature within about fourteen seconds of Apple's initial release....

Yeah and TBH at a buck a watt I don't care how inefficient it is anyway, if thats the output. I've got plenty of roof area to put more of them up.
Yep.
