I'm curious: can you hear the difference when using unequal cable lengths?
Yes.
It is common knowledge that the human body is not built symmetrically and distance between ear and brain vary from one another.
I usually tug along my portable CAT scanner for adjusting the cable lengths properly and provide my customers with the best aural experience possible.
No kidding. I saw this news item on a guy in san carlos who took out a 1.3million dollar mortgage based on his startup salary. Beyond my lack of comprehension for how he could possibly cover the payments on a startup salary, he apparently didn't consider the risks very carefully, and as it would happen, the startup went belly up. Now he wants people to pay his mortgage for him
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago
that made me sick.
Some dude was drunk and drove his mortgage over the top
And had his startup in the trunk and she was
pregnant with his debts
And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who
it was to
Come to think about it...his name was...it was you.

JSBiff points out that dynamic linking crosses the border between license and copyright due to the concept of 'derivative works'. Derivative works is a key ingredient of copyright. You, whoever may want or claim 'derivative work' is also part of the GPL license.
If so, the GPL is not merely based on distribution, but also on copyright. Point is, the 'derivative work' concept isn't tried in court to supply a sufficient legal definition and set the boundaries.

A Requiem For Saab

· Score: 2, Informative
That GM can't give the company away, and can't make money selling weird cars is proof of this. The year GM purchased Saab they killed off Oldsmobile. Saab was selling ~40,000 cars per year, Olds was selling 250,000 cars per year.
GM had a majority in Saab in 1990 (51%) and bought it completely in 2000. Olds was killed in 2004.
GM offers unisex cars that no one wants, both brands do not fit the bill.

Among other cars, I've owned Saabs from the 80s. Till the 80s, Saab delivered innovation, comfort, ergonomics and durability. At a price though, because comparable cars (i.e. Volvo's, BMW 5 series) were cheaper and in some respects, better; I think this is the major reason for decline in sales until 1989 en the sell-out to GM in 1989.
IMO Saab is dead since 1989. The innovation, comfort and ergonomics just didn't improve at the rate competitors did,
and seemed bad rehashes of existing stuff; the 9-7x was a Subaru, 9-5 refurbished 9000, 9-3 refurbished 900 and later Aero's just muscle versions instead of special versions. I miss the Saab touch of the 70s and 80s
Competition learned and moved beyond (just look at Audi); the common 2L engine has seen very little improvements over the last decade, despite efforts towards bio-ethanol etc.
Too bad, I haven't experienced car seats as good since I owned a 9000 and worse were available in later models.
I'm still fond of the 96,99 and 900's and black sheep 9000 which were special in their days. After that, nothing really special setting it apart from the competition.
Thanks Saab for the fond memories, money well spent.
So I'd would say this: A developer that's happy using a simple text editor/compiler/debugger combo has a greater than average chance of being a good developer. But you can assume nothing about a developer who chooses an integrated IDE over the aforementioned environment if given the choice.
You can assume one thing about a developer who's using a simple text editor/compiler/debugger combo targetting.NET; (s)he's using MONO/Linux.
No offence meant, but West Germany appears to have a culture of denial. (Without it, I doubt the country wouldn't be as democratic/prosperous as it is right now).
Even today at important WWII landmarks in Germany I find the documentation on the actions of the Nazi regime ridiculously sparse. Go visit Cologne (city of former Gestapo headquarters) and find the lack of information.. while a lot of people have disappeared there. When I travel around Germany, which I like, rebuilt cities appear to bear no resemblance of the black history..
So yes, compared to surrounding countries, Netherlands, France, Poland, I find the lack of openness on this topic (w.r.t. information, no history) seemingly denying.
That said, I do think the German government nowadays as being one of the more progressive and constructive of Europe.
Fast forward to today's culture: playing the victim. Shouting censorship and behaving like a child who's toy has been taken, when the government/people try and limit violence and references to Nazi's in games.
Perhaps it's not about Big Brother government, but about respect.
So yes, considering your well-informed education about the atrocities in WWII (*never again*) and your rigid stance on playing what you choose (i.e. WWII revivals), you are seriously in denial.

I can guarantee you that quality from one supplier who has an exclusive license costs a lot more money than quality amongst competition from different suppliers.
Nice theory, but it's the quality that will suffer. You pay the same or more, because you'll have to purchase again and again

Lego is the deal of a century, because it lasts a century.
I think it's swell that you're all involved with your project and everything. That said, do you like it when management and/or marketing types get all in your shit about how you do your job?
Honestly, those cheese-eating motherfuckers probably really do have a better idea than you do about how to sell this stuff. Let them. You'll all feel better if you do!
No need to get cynical or apathetic.
There are actually people inside companies that do encourage and appreciate involvement, group thinking and constructive rebels; they're called (good) managers.
Unfortunately, an abundance of bad managers exists for the sole purpose of wanting to call the shots. Particularly bad (for you) are the ones who avoid conflicts, defer responsibility and lie.
Generally I am somewhat perplexed by the attention this topic is getting. The beauty of open source is that you can be actively contributing and participating in your favourite project whether you are employed by a certain company or not. So what's the big deal about David choosing not to be employed? He is not abandoning MySQL. (..) Just my 2c.
Your cents are worth it:-)
Who has contributed or donated to the MySQL project while actively using MySQL in a production environment?
I am somewhat perplexed by the attitude of some users towards open source. Software? FREE. Support? FREE. Developer wishes to change jobs? NOT FREE.
Only after centuries of research and bazillions of questions scientists discover that the ultimate self-aware intelligent algorithm converges into one single statement:
There is one other huge difference. With oil, we are getting the bulk of it from people who hate us and want to use the money they make from us, to build an army up and come over here and kill us.
Oh please. I pity your suffering.

I like neither way.
Java: Properties are private variables/methods exposed through a public method. Seems unnatural and tedious when accessing a guarded variable, e.g.
Line.GetWidth();
Line.SetWidth(10);
Two different calls for accessing a single property.
C#: Properties are private variables/methods exposed through a public variable. May be cause for surprise e.g. when
Line.Width++
increases width and executes statements outside the scope of width increase.
For exposing a (guarded) private variable I prefer the C# way, but it's too easy to mix data with flow.
I don't feel a property can be accessed as either a variable or a method, because it isn't and adds to confusion.
You've tasted freedom, I did, and so did a lot of others.
I just hope the people in emerging countries do get a taste of freedom and democracy before the corps lock it in, because once ruler US has shown its inability to deal with greedy corps.
It is really not that complicated... find something you can sell because you can no longer technically control the distribution of your product.
Well, I think the complication is business-minded people tend have a bad relationship with technical issues and try to negotiate on matters that are actually based on technical merits and involve binary choices.
No need to try and convince in words, just put your money where your mouth is and refuse DRM, the productive argument is: out of business.
My humble opinion, you're free to choose otherwise, I'm just not gonna pay for watching senior-housed Sly and Apollo beating each other senseless in yet another Rocky revival.
