When you figure yourself elite or royal there is no certain class structure, just everything below you. There is no such thing as a middle class to the elite; it holds no practical meaning to them. You should read The Power Broker, 1200 pages of "can't-put-it-down, Pulitzer Prize winning dose of reality." It shows you a real in-depth case of how a person (Robert Moses in this case), who views themselves elite, treats others in their mind and in daily life.
And besides....when people talk of taxing something to bring about a social result they forget that the money goes to the government. What do they do with it? Where is it to be spent? Paying down debt/deficit? Why is there a deficit to begin with? Should the money be distributed to the "poor?" I would love to know where people picture the money going after it has been taken from someone as a tax. Do people picture it going anywhere? Do they think about allocation at all? Or is to affect a social outcome with no regard for the appropriation of resources. Let us not forget that money should equal resources...it is not a thing of value in and of itself. The lack of answers to these questions makes me nervous as the debate rages on and consequences become real.
Reminds me of the axiom that software correctness cannot be verified/proved with 100% accuracy. Don't know if applies. Also, it takes me three days to settle trades; during that lag time do all trades act as a batch--with each subsequent stock price evaluated in order when they do settle? So all these trades fly around in a manic flurry, and three days later the piper gets paid based on the net outcome?
They are not bickering over the logo. They are in talks. What is it with slashdot story posts anymore? It's to the point where I have to read the article to get the full story anymore.
Yeah, I would have been like....awww honey....you remembered! Awesome deal, but is this news? It would probably buy three TVs if one were to sell it. After pawing on that sweet piece of steel and composite it would be hard to give it up for a stinky plastic TV.
It does look like they both come from the same firm or other collusion. This is not good, and I see why they are calling them out on this. It is not childish. What if an organization (such as Microsoft) founded an "open source" company and used a similar logo with the intent to obscure the original trademark. Logically, you simply cannot let ANYONE infringe--no matter who it is. They should have created some type of agreement. I agree that this is stupid, stupid on the part of OSHWA.
I don't think he is professing a holier-than-thou attitude and claiming eternal salvation over the death of his fellow man---so I think he gets a free pass on this one.
Java is slowly being adopted and has met great resistance at my college. I have seen that colleges are at least ten years behind in just about everything. Some things are even further behind by 15 - 20 years. Sometimes they have no idea that the tech they are behind in even exists.
Wow, guess we smashed that argument. Starbucks is awesome awesome, although they seemed to have fucked up their iced coffee. I found out about their iced coffee years before it became popular, but now it seems different. Maybe my addiction has ruined all the fun.
I keep picturing Q-Bert. Is something wrong with me? Whenever I see "Bing" the I hear Ross yelling, "I'm on sabbatical!" Maybe I need a vacation....I do.
Yeah, reading Paul Allen's (polar opposite of Gates) recount of history shows a complete lack of good faith or good will in any of Bill's business or non-business dealings. I know, I know, malaria. He is a schmuck, nonetheless...we've all established this already.
I agree....paving the way to a smooth acquisition by Google. I didn't read the article, but.....I don't see anything impressive here. This is just basic stuff that doesn't contribute to the viability of the company. Yahoo is not Google, they had better be careful with this, and Google has had issues with innovation and execution lately, so I don't know if a copy of Google culture is the right thing. Cute, novel, something is happening, but......
Python blows...sorry, but it does. The man is having cognitive problems and you suggest a white-space formatted steaming pile of shit like Python? It makes my brain hurt. No brackets! Get off my lawn!

It seems we need an electronic system that levies no fees, as fees are becoming a dark incentive. Maybe they always have been.
Maybe they were not a moron. Maybe they were just technical people detached from the business needs--equally as dangerous.

I wish we could use all of our mod points in one big nuclear strike against a post. Secondly, I would like "Yawn" added to the list of mod choices.
Over 22 million chickens are killed each day in the U.S. for food. It is not uncommon to see one million birds in one building.
Haagen-Daaz sucks. Ben & Jerry's blows that shit out of the freezer.
I would gladly pay the price for real cheese. The extra .20 would be worth it.

Microsoft paid like 100 million to settle the VMS thing.

....opens google window and installs DOS...
Bill Gates apologized and then diluted his stock....so, it is admitted.

It was obviously a copy of the specification.
Reminds me of nesting......whoops!
