Oh, yeah...
I did know that RTFM was never popular with./'ers, but not reading RELEASE NOTES? That is new to me. Or the existence of release notes is new to you.
FYI: That "very restrictive license" says that you cannot redistribute, modify the code and call it Java, and the usual copyright stuff. Otherwise you can use as you wish! Not like, you "can't use it on a commercial project".
You are probably a republican? Though I see nothing wrong with your way in theory, there is one huge flaw in current world. People are specializing, at a staggering speed. Why do I have to manage my taxes, if the company I work for has a huge force of accountants on payroll? When you say, we need less government involvement in our lives, that is OK to an extent, but comes with a price. People have to do all the stuff that the government is not involved with. By my standards that leaves me with a LOT of work. And a legal system with common sense not a valid legal term, does not simplify anything. I mean I can understand my countries And next time someone from Europe calls you stupid, remember that the time you spent on tax declaration and other stuff that could have been gathered(and probably is gathered) by the government, could have been spent on more enjoyable passtimes, maybe even learning something new?
Witch Europe are you talking about? Definitely not the one I live in. The way I see it, in Europe, we have gradual escalation of specialization courses. With last year being 100% specialization courses.
Yeah... I wish that games would start to use some virtualization tech to be the runtime for them. I mean, isn't there a PS2 emulator for PC?
I mean split off something similar to DX and form a VM witch sole purpose is to run THE game. Games don't need an OS beneath them that much(I have lil' knowledge on that, but a lot of games come out on multiple platforms). Most of them have UI designed specially and so on...
The main reason is that most people in EU live not like you guys. Owning a house is a privilege in EU, and you would never see something like suburbia as far as your eyes can see out of a descending airplane... A LOT of Europeans live in smaller space(apartments,smaller houses) than Americans, and when you count urbanized areas, you count in those suburbias... When I came to US for the first time I thought: "What a large village!". Because in Europe you will not see a lot like it.
He probably did have the client. They(Blizzard) reserve the right to terminate subscription. Definitely not your license... It is stated in the terms adn conditions. And basically the terms are vague, that basically anything can infringe T&C "WoW experience". Oh an BTW if you happen to be sitting in the same room with a person that is playing in the same realm for the other side, you are infringing T&C:)
Though I am not against the concept of patents but there are aspects that are rotten about the concept itself.
> There is nothing wrong with being greedy about things which are yours.
Actually with free market there is no problem with being greedy. But patents are state granted monopolies, that meant there is NO free market.
The best example: A drug company comes up with a drug to CURE cancer and AIDS, patents it and places $1'000'000 royalties on each pill! Are you free to chose life if you need to be cured of terminal illness?
> I simply said that I would want to be able to say no when a particular price is offered. Without IP, I would have no such ability.
No one is restricting you to say no. And IP does not guarantee the right to say yes or no, is simply defines who's the owner.
>... have the side effect of increasing the flow of ideas by making ideas more free(as in speech)ly exchanged.
Your "greediness is OK" statement pretty much cancels this out. Therefore you would never exchange ideas.
> By the way, if what you stumble on is similar, then it is not the same.
Yeah would you think that the person who created the steam engine would be granted a patent? Then what about Hero of Alexandria? Patents are the worst way to verify.
>> As I stated at the beginning, in a free market, a product or service is only worth what people are willing to pay you for it. > This is not true. If you come to my home and offer $25 for my car, I don't have to accept your offer.
Actually that is true. But you understand wrongly. You expect that people will ask you to sell, whilst the original post implies that you are trying to sell. So if you ask 2000% the price for your patent, and no one is buying it than that is to high for the market.
> In a free country you can ask for whatever compensation you want. If someone agrees to provide it, it's yours. If no one does, you don't have to provide your services or part with your property.
FYI: You don't part with your patent. You get payed royalties for usage of your patent. Problem is that a lot of time royalties are so high that they create natural monopolies or oligopoly.
BTW your post is really inconsistent. You apparently are a person that makes a living from IP. But your statement about monopolies is just our of context.
Compiz Fusion! HTB for packet scheduling. BTW most stuff in Linux is not UI visible. And anyway most of developers behind FOSS projects are not hobbyists, but professionals that spend extra time on FOSS projects (Google practice for spending some time on FOSS projects)
The quote originally meant that you can't speedup tasks my adding more parallel work. But we are not speeding up tasks, we are doing more at the same time. That is what parallelism means. So it's you that seems foolish.
Most people who do anything are mediocre. Otherwise, mediocre would be redefined. It's like saying, half the people in the class scored below average. The fact that half the people scored below some value determines what the value of average is. Do you have any idea what is statistics? Because you post suggests that you don't.
So in a set 0,10,10,10,10 average is 8, but surprisingly enough only 1 is below average!
Right on the point! And you are going to piss off a ton of mediocre programmers! Since most of em think they are really good and don't even consider not knowing the "truth"!
I don't like Apple because there are 2 choices:
* - Common) Premium overpriced [option] hardware for your desktop
1) notebook
2) server/workstation
Oh and btw the fact that I am basically locked in not only by software but by hardware also! So no AMD, no Mac! (I know that I can run OSX on non Apple HW, but is that really the idea behind Apple? To allow you to run OSX on non Apple HW?)
Oh and by the looks of it since Apple fanboy actually need a lot less brain power to operate their machines, my guess that Apple fanboys are the ones that are stupid:)
Slashdot Mirror
And hope that Adobe will finally realize that there are a LOT of 64bit system out there :)
Hm... I think i've seen java in the FreeBSD ports...

Hey. How can you NOT be a fanboy while being a CEO of that company?
I have an option for Skynet in my building :) We have a nice fiber network over here.
I just hope that the "if" you are talking about will not be judged by US government(with US media included) but by Canadian people independently.

Good news for apple farmers then? And you know an apple a day...

To rephrase you: Only capitalist presidents are legitimate.

Why not?
Heat - burns
Water - drowns
Rocks - are hard
Here's your common sense, and you won't be seeing any lawsuits with title "I was burnt by my HOT coffee, someone else is liable!".
Any IT service company is IT mafia. It's just a result how deep you let them reach into you company.
Sun also has some Postgres core developers on payroll.
