``We intend to hurt Hollywood. We intend to hurt the video game industry. We intend to hurt sex porn sites'' on the Internet, said Jack Thompson, one of the parents' lawyers.
Is there some other type of porn that I should be aware of?
My father still listens to vinyl LPs. Why? Because the tunes he wants to hear are on vinyl LPs.
Yes, they're also on CD, but he doesn't own the CDs. The LPs, however, are in his stereo cabinet.
A big chunk of the music I want to hear is on 200 some-odd CDs in my CD rack, ensuring that I'll continue to listen to CDs.
Damned near every sound recording exant on Earth is on the net in MP3 form, insuring that people will continue to listen to MP3s.
Bring us a better format; by all means give it sweeter compression algorithms and sample rates that require scientific notation, then fail to be surprised when we don't abandon our MP3 decoders.
I'd give my left arm to see him produce a transcript of all her chat sessions on the net.
Of course, I understand fully why catching the cop in his lie wasn't at the forefront of her mind, but, God, he's done her an incredible disservice and should be held accountable for having done so.
To my sense of justice, he's almost an accessory after the fact. Harboring a fugitive...
Presumably, (IANAL) Apple printed that in the same spirit that it prints 'Macintosh is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, and 'Apple' is a registered trademark of Apple Computer.'
In truth, neither of them are. Apple is a registered trademark of Apple Records, used under license, and Macintosh is a registered trademark of Macintosh Labratories, likewise used under license.
I'd imagine Apple licensed the trademark 'Open Source' from ESR, and said what they said accordingly.
Whether ESR had the right to license 'Open Source' in the first place, I have no clue.
A semi-religious (IIRC) group of fanatics which sought to halt the Industrial Revolution by breaking into the nascent factories and smashing the machines.
Simple, suits like decontructuralist bullshit. It makes them feel smart to understand all the words.
The more enlightened of the suits (or those freshly back from leadership-training seminars) read sites like this to try and get a clue what the employees think. If they read someone who's published [sounds of angelic choir] in Forbes Digital [86 heavenly host glee club] and he says that they should ask their IT employees about network strategy before dictating it, then there's a small chance that it actually might happen.
"The skies of the digital world grow grayer day by day."
I like that line. The rest are so-so.
If he's a good journalist, he'll adapt to his audience. If he's not, we'll stop reading his stuff.
That's the best part about the new journalistic model that is being created here on/. We know the writers' names, we know their inclinations and agendas, and we know whether or not to trust them.
BTW, I hope we get a manned mission to Mars soon, and that from there it's a quick jump to colonization, 'cause quite a few of the posters above need to be living in a place that's O.38 G.

Duh. [Feeling like an idiot.]

It's either December 24, 2012, or December 12, 2024.
Or I could be wrong all together, but those are the choices that seem most plausible.
Don Negro
Or are you just making shit up?
Just curious.

He actually seems pretty well adjusted.

IIRC, one of The Who's shows back in '67 or so was measured at 160 dB.
Makes you wonder what kind of speaker, not to mention power supply, that thing had in it.

SAP is the third largest software company in the world, their ERP runs a LOT of huge companies.
This could mean big-time corporate integration for Linux.
Does anybody know what SAP runs on currently?

You're confusing this with the IBM license. There has to be a filing first, although IANAL. Read the license to be sure.

I'm with you.
Her love of money was always second to her love of productivity and the capacity for creative work. If you want to sell it, fine, give it away, fine.
She'd hate software licences cause you don't get a thing of objective value in return for your money.
After all, it's what we do best around here.
