I knew it! Windows has always been open source, since many government officials could have a look at it, and lets not forget the MS employees developing Windows. And by extension, since all software has source code, and someone can read it, all software is open source!
Well, it's the open source community who created the term, and MS is trying to redefine it.
And "open" also means a lot of things. But some conjunctions have a very definite meaning. Open window vs open formation vs open stance vs open for business vs open hands and so on.
FYI: Due to your ignorance, MS is the first to use 'open source' term in that manner.
Free software exists without source code available if you are unaware.
So you need to revise your own thinking, not everyone else.
FYI: Open in open source is synonym of unrestricted. the capitalization is not important. It may not be even public.
It's like stating that open government, means unrestricted government, not to public(visible) government
There is no such thing as public domain... That is the problem with most copyright legislation. Even Homers Iliad is not in public domain, meaning that if you quote from it you can be forced to attribute the quote to Homer.
Look at it this way:
- Single game HL2(each episode) MAX ~20 hours of entertainment at 19.99 current price is ~$1 per hour.
- Movie 1.75 hours of entertainment at roughly $10 is $5.71 per hour.
- TV free intitially(but due to comm's you buy a tonn of crap you dont need), say, $1000 later on for 24hrs of entertainemnt is ~$41 per hour.
- World of Warcraft average it out at 5 hours per week and we get yearly average of 18* hours of entertainment per month at $15(and added the upgrades) is $0.90 per hour. With hard core players it's lower than $0.30 per hour with minimal of $0.03 if played for 16 hours per day, each day
Look at the reality, it's just plain cheaper entertainment. It's quite dynamic, you interact with people, in fact you are forced to interact with people and the game itself is interactive.
* - number of hours is very large, and this is a very modest amount of time.
Hey, hey, hey.... Two party system! Could there be any other scenario? It's like a single mother party split in 2:) I mean the USSR Communist party had more diversity than those guys.
Well in Europe, any EU citizen officially living and registered in another EU country may vote and run in the municipal elections. So in theory some small town in Spain has 100% non Spanish(neither ethnically nor by citizenship) municipal government.
There are some ranking techniques when a party runs for parliament and presents a list. The ranking defines witch people you would like to see in parliament. And it actually works.
Unfortunately, your constitution was just plain incomplete. You can't expect to have a well defined base state law in such a small set of documents. I think that US constitution was just too hastily drafted.
Well actually when you look at the powers that are given to those governors, they should be appointed. Since those are like local WallMart managers, only there to to the master's bidding. The local parliaments are still elected.
>> It will decay eventually, and release the CO2 again.
Seal properly and apply pressure and you get coal from that paper, not CO2. Since decaying paper does not release CO2. The bacteria will release less CO2, anyway.
Requires it? Really? Is it stated so in the copyright law?
Copyrights are eternal. The rights to pursue an person who violates it is limited to 70 years after the authors death, though not on everything.

Maybe that is your problem...

Managing scientists? Is that even possible?
That means the first thing that you did stupid, is chose the way you elect :)
Man... You forget how many millions go to SAP and SAP consultants.
Even IBM has a HUGE SAP consulting business...
The direct result of companies trying to have a good social standing. That is: You bring business to us, we bring business/value/jobs to you.

Nooo.... SPAM is a detectable thing, slashdotting would never-ever be identified as malicious!

>At around 5k-10k per Core, it is extremely expensive.
Until you actually take into account all the other benefits that come with that system....
FYI: You can run SLES on IBM Mainframe instead of AIX.
Scientists say an understanding of how the Two Towers collapsed will help them develop the materials needed to build fiction reactors.
Actually you are not forbidden to kill people... Though you will be punished for the crime...

This article would not get published if not for the statement: "The root cause is not the labels"
I would be really worried about Saudi Arabia, because those people ACTUALLY sponsored terrorism and are at the centre of radical Islamic terrorism.
