The testing they do to determine fuel efficiency is very different in the US... most cars come out with much worse stats in US tests?
Having said that my Petrol(Gas) Car was rated at 57mpg (Imperial UK Gallons) Combined- and that's roughly what I get most of the time...so the Euro stats seem to be correct for normal use ?
A Value that explicitly shows no object, no one that can be interpreted as an object at an address..
The real question is do you want a high level language, or a low level one
C is a low level language, it can directly access memory, has to have libraries to do anything, and you have to manually allocate memory (libraries often do this for you) - This gives you the power to to anything (if you can work out how to do it), but at the cost that you can easily do the wrong thing...
C# is a high level language you have no direct access to memory (or even the machine), and you work with objects not memory, this means you lose some power being one step away from the machine, but you gain security in that the system will stop you doing most stupid things...
C++ tries to be the best of both worlds and but is really the worst of both worlds...
The likelihood of me being extradited to Iran is Zero (They are a known user of torture so my country will not extradite me) I have no intention of every going there, so their laws do not worry me (although I would like to see them tempered)
The likelihood if me being extradited to the USA is unknown, they have extradited others from my country on flimsy evidence of crimes that did not affect my country
The likelihood if some of my friends being extradited to the USA is unknown, they have extradited others from their country on flimsy evidence of crimes that are not illegal in their country
I have no intention of ever going to the USA, but apparently this is irrelevant, as I can be charged with something that is not even a crime where I live...
Sell the movie to a theatre or TV company, with a contract that specifies what they can and cannot do with it...
Just like everything else, with a contract, you don't need copyright
Copyright is only if there for when there is no direct contract between you and the artist, and so they lose control of their work...But they should have already made money from it by then..?
Apple are a hardware company, who make devices that come with software
Microsoft are a software company, who make software that runs on generic hardware
Android is an OS that many companies use on varied hardware, including some that also run MS software
Linux is an OS usually with a vast suite of software that many companies and individuals use on generic hardware most of which can also run MS Software
These are four different entities, that are not directly comparable, or in many cases even competing, they all overlap each others markets to some extent
Every time I see a x vs y comparison I am amazed at the conditional statements needed to make even a vaguely reasonable comparison
If you are serious about getting to work, you need a car or public transport - not a motorised pogo-stick

They are an unknown number contributing with gender neutral names so they get counted as male...because if they are recognised as female they get hounded

Contents owners do have the right to implement technical measures to protect their property rights, but only to extent it is legal (Sony root kit), and why do they want the right to shut down an entire domain, not hosted in the USA, for infringing *Civil* laws that might not even apply in the country where the server is hosted...?
i.e. why should I in one country, be prevented in accessing a server in another country, that hosts files that are legal to distribute in both, by a company in third country who has no jurisdiction in either country...?!
BeOS had a working implementation of what WinFS was supposed to be... and it was implemented before MS and came across all the problems that WinFS had...

Set in stone? Really, so all the browsers did not update themselves to meet the standards as they evolved?
Well IE lagged behind, and is now playing catchup but they now all implement the published standards even though they did not before, and mostly implement the core of what will be HTML5
They all implemented what they thought the standard would be or should be, and then modified their system to be closer to the actual standard and it was worked out... which is how it should work...

"It might be Americans just throw a shit ton of people in jail for no good reason"
US prisons contain around 1% of the Resident Adult population the highest in the world
2.1% of the population are on parole
US has 743 in prison per 100,000
UK has 156 in prison per 100,000
Looks like that might be the case ...
...and the majority of us did not vote for the current USA laws, because we don't live in the USA
MegaUpload - a Hong Kong Based company, shut down by the USA, and the directors arrested in New Zealand ...for infringing on US copyright laws?!

Rename a .txt file to .Text and then you will see ...
File associations assume that file extensions are 3 letters ... and .htm and html are different ...
Unlike every other OS where the file type is determined by the actual contents ... so a corrupt .mp3 file is no longer an mp3 according to the OS ...

It's like putting a film on a huge screen in a public place then trying to sell ticket to people to watch it ... ?
Movie : They make it, sell the rights to Movie theatres, make money, sell the rights to TV companies, make more money
Song : Artist writes song sells it to musician (unless it is themselves) makes money
Performance : Artist performs song, people watch live having paid for a ticket, artist makes money
None of these need copyright at all ....
Now the companies have the extra revenue stream of selling media again and again, they get paid less for all of the above ...this is the problem
