So it's very similar to how Microsoft works with their OS? If a nation or large enough corporation declare they're moving to Linux, they get a discount? (Or in this case, a bigger income).
What I don't understand is why Google has to follow robots.txt at all. Is this part of their "do no evil" slogan?
Imagine Bing does get all the exclusivity deals in the world and Google is left with nothing. What would stop them, from just indexing the site anyway? I can't think of anything as it should be up to the website to block/prevent access.
Actually it's only if you watch TV signals that have been broadcast in the past 3 seconds. That means if you can watch it through your computer (TV card, streaming) you would still need a licence. Also, if you have a TV and there is no cable connected to it (or near it) or a fork in the back so it can't pick up signals you can say you use it exclusively for gaming (which is often the case).
Source: the twenty or so a year TV licence reminders/warnings/death-imminent any student moving into a new house will undoubtedly get. (Don't get me started on those "reminders"... carefully worded scare tactics)
I think it's very good description for frothy-mouthed free software types.
Who is a "frothy-mouthed free software type"? Someone who uses it? Someone who releases software under a free license? Someone who advocates the use of free software? Someone who advocates that all software should be free?
I agree that experience will trump all, but it has to be relevant, useful and challenging. Doing the same thing over and over for a few years won't put you in the same position if you're constantly challenged.
Other than that, the advice I was given was: if you want to do a PhD, don't do a masters; otherwise do a masters.
I figured that I'd rather do a PhD as it is at a higher level and would be something I'd rather achieve and can start in a few years.
I suppose, but that timeline looked liked it contained quite a few events on it, and I'm sure there will be more to come and yet geekmux feels like he's ready to do away with it entirely.
It just felt very dismissive, perhaps he shouldn't look for his entertainment in the news?
I have a really big problem with low ammo games: I never end up using the high-end weapons until I'm at the very last fight scene; I'm usually walking through the majority of the game with a pistol, or whatever the worst weapon happens to be.
How does this contribute to the fun or value in games? I can see it fitting a title like Resident Evil quite well though, it's normal to not have to fire off your grenade launcher at an average zombie.
Why do you feel that one individual with a gun should have so much power as to decide whether he wants to remove a single politician person of his choosing permanently from society?
Living fear is something I choose not to do, and I would prefer to extend that to everyone, including politicians.
I see: the image. I had also seen it long before thanks to Slashdot a while back, probably in a similar vain to this article. For the record, I'm in a UK university on the JANET network, I'm actually quite surprised it isn't blocked.
What worries me more--a lot more--is that I feel kind of scared for even viewing this image, especially since it's on a child porn filter. I'm living in fear?!
Now another thing to note was that with Australia's filter coming into play, someone said it was different in the UK because it was optional for an ISP to use this list. How is it really any different? Those on Virgin Media are still on Virgin Media and don't get to choose whether Virgin Media will be on the list immediately.
My initial thinking leads me to believe that how would you know that "a" in encoding X is the same or different to "a" in encoding Y. You'd have to have a mapping of all encodings to a common encoding to know this sort of thing.
I couldn't put my finger exactly on it but Half-Life 2, for me, lacked a lot of imagination. Consider some of the "bosses" in the first game: we had Xen, a giant baby faced hollow headed leader; a spider with a huge sack of eggs.
What did we have in Half-Life 2 for the final encounter? A human man--no doubt evil--cackling as he took the world's slowest elevator while we shot flaps on the side of his creation. Not to mention the hordes of thousands of drones running at you, the player, in a slightly different configuration every time to constitute "difficulty".
That said, I still quite enjoyed the plot in the second game, except for the bitter feeling of disappointment after it all.
How about if all these 'evil' insurance companies can drastically reduce the overall cost of health care to a point where it saves a large number of lives? Is it ethical for you to want to withhold that information simply because it benefits you personally to do so?
No, and I probably couldn't justify it. However, show me the proof that this could happen and wouldn't be exploited before I give away my privacy.
Also, knowing the nature of a for-profit company, if I can't see a catch, and apparently neither can anyone else. I most likely still wouldn't believe a word of it. Why should I?
Start up Startopia without a video card (or was it without DirectX installed?) and you'll get a series of messages like "Now THAT'S what I call an error!" etcetc
Try to play Theme Hospital without any cd-drives (e.g. through WINE on Linux legitimately) and you'll get the error message "No CD-ROM drive detected, I reckon you must be running a ripped-off copy you theiving pirate." Complete with spelling mistake. This one surprised me the most, as it's an accusation for something that wasn't the case, just a scenario that at the time was very unlikely.
It states the download of that Super Awesome Broadband, but it doesn't suggest what the upload is.
What is the upload rate? As high as possible, similar to the download?
Also, from your logic, and assuming that everything comes from a single point, the universe would be 30 billion light years wide.
Light would expand outwards from the single point meaning that two rays of light on the same vector would travel away from each other at twice the speed of light...
How would you (or someone you perceive with good experience) roughly answer the question? Also, how would you rather this question was answered or more specifically and what sort of answers are you looking for your bullet points?
I ask because I'm a second year computer scientist with an industrial year (complete with many interviews--well, I hope) coming up lack experience in this HR department. Should I question the project (am I coming off as an anarchist--break the system--type? Or a hapless tea-caddy who can't say no?). Is it important I should mention software practices? Are you looking for specifics such as waterfall and extreme programming? Or just specifics borrowed from it such as pair programming? Or perhaps could the interviewee relate to patterns?
I'm intrigued with your answer to the first paragraph, the second is somewhat written at 3am. I dare not read through it again. (for the record, I refuse to code at this hour).
I hate to burst the bubble but it isn't available on 64bit Linux, not that not having Flash has affected my life negatively though. I replaced YouTube videos with a Greasemonkey embed thingy and bam. But yeah, no Flash on 64 bits--the way forward!
Slashdot Mirror
There, fixed that for you! (Or should that really read "US" government servers?)

But usually if I bring that up on slashdot, I get negative modded to oblivion by people just like you.
Why on Earth would this bother you at all?
Raspberries?

Israel and Palestine conflicts have been going for a long time (Timeline_of_the_Israeli-Palestinian_conflict) why would you feel that it's no longer newsworthy?

So his/her opinion is worth less because he has infringed on someone else's copyright before? Assuming, of course, that he has infringed at all.
Careful here, how does copyright infringement force people to continue making music?

Just my 2 cents.

+1 face palm
If you're not trolling, why post AC? Hell, why I am I responding?
