It's the practice of most open source software to assign copyright back to the project if you contribute.
Example, Program X has some buy that annoys the hell out of me. So I go in, fix it, and submit a patch. Since I wrote the patch, I own the copyright to that portion of the code if they accept my patch.
But this limits what the project can do. If they want to change so some sort of different license, they would have to start either contacting everyone that submitted a patch, or take out the code. So before they officially accept a patch into the main tree, they want the copyright of the code too. This gives them full control over the entire codebase.
So if some major project didn't have a clause that said they want copyright if I want my patch into the main tree, they really couldn't be bought. They wouldn't actually OWN pieces of the project's code.
This isn't actually part of the GPL, it's part of a project's rules in accepting code from the outside.
There's a very simple test for HGH that involves taking no samples from the body.
Extended use of HGH makes your head grow like Ken Griffy Jr. on nerve tonic. Once you're done growing, your head doesn't grow. So after your first game, the league takes a note of your hat size. If your head grows more than two sizes, you're on HGH.
This always reminds me of a comment from a pitcher I can't remember. He beaned Barry Bonds in the head, and his excuse was "I couldn't help it! His head grew after I threw the ball!"
There seems to be a lot of talk about things such as EPO, HGH, and just "Steroids" in general.
The fact of the matter is, these are just more tools in the medical toolbox to improve an athlete. There are drugs and procedures that are totally legal now in sports, that go beyond what is illegal.
Example, Andy Pettitte is getting heat for being in the Mitchell Report for taking HGH to recover from an injury. How is this exactly wrong? Is it better to just take a enough pain killers to come back early that you become addicted to them(Brett Favre)? I'd think overall, the HGH is the safer of the two.
And if you want to talk about just modding the body itself, look at baseball and pitchers with "Tommy John" surgery. What used to be a procedure to just get a pitcher pitching again, is being done in pitchers to improve performance. More young pitchers are getting it now more than ever. Why? Because although there's at least a year of recovery time, it can improve your pitching. There's also not 100% recovery rate on this, so it does have risks. But nothing in medicine is 100%. But it's enough of a risk for a drafted pitcher that it's worth it to land on a major league roster.
Tiger Woods had lasik eye surgery to improve his vision. This improved judging distance, and reading putting greens. If a golfer doesn't want to risk blindness to improve his game, that puts TW at an advantage over them. Not like he's not head and shoulders above everyone as it is, but it's just another example of a totally legal improvement to the body. Would someone consider this a 'natural' improvement to eyesight? I do not.
The things that now are currently illegal would be a lot safer to use, if they were used in the open, under the guidance of a licensed physician, and not just some guy who has an idea how they work and does a guess on what dosage a player needs. People may want to talk about how this is upsets the game, but the reality is modern medicine and training have already pushed the athletes WAY past what they were even 15 years ago.
This is why more than ever, you see a lot of ligament injuries. You can build all the muscle you want. But there's not much you can do to build you knee or elbow. The joints were just not designed to handle the shear mass that gets put on them by modern techniques(both legal and illegal). Proper supervision on things such as HGH and steroids such as Winstrol, would probably lessen injuries to joints as well.
Generally if you just make a few anonymous edits, you're reading something, and you know it is wrong and change it. Or you change a spelling/grammar mistake. And if someone is making A LOT of anonymous edits, it's probably random gibberish.
And if you're going to go though the trouble of making an account, you're either going to do a quick piece of vandalism and leave, or be an active contributor.
I don't even think this is hindsight bias kicking in for calling this obvious. It really is just common sense. I'm surprised someone actually got money to research this. Maybe someone will give me money to research if a lower slashdot ID has a correlation to quality of posts....
There's an argument to be made for the goofy "code names". However, they are just that, code names. As far as version numbers, they make about as much sense as any. Higher versions get bigger numbers. 8.04 is a later version than 7.04. 7.10 is going to be a later version than 7.04, but behind 8.04.
Yeah, exactly the point of Camino. Firefox does X+Y, but Camino does X+Z. There are things that Camino does better, such as keychain integration, being Cocoa native, etc. To a lot of people, such as yourself, these are more important features than plugin support. The group saw that, created Camino.
There's just another portion that likes the plugins. Both programs serve two different purposes. It's good that there ARE separate programs. I'm not going to use MS Paint to edit wedding pictures, and I'm not going to use Photoshop to resize a bitmap to print it out.
The nice thing about what Camino does, is that they based it on Gecko. So if someone wants the features of Firefox, or the features of Camino, they don't have to worry about how the page is going to load. Good thing to choose a browser because of just the feature set, and not if a page is going to load correctly(Yeah, I'm talking about IE).
There's a ton of people complaining "Yeah, all this is already done, It's Camino!"
Listen, Camino isn't a Firefox replacement. The reason I, and probably the majority of others, use Firefox is the large amount of great extensions. Ad Black, Flashblock, Cookiesafe, etc. Camino by rule will never support these. That's why Camino will never be a replacement for Firefox.
I'm not saying Camino SHOULD change to support them. They have a project going, and what they are setting out to do, they do well. But it's never going to replace Firefox on OSX.
Yes, this breaks among other things, Lotus's webmail client. It works fine in firefox in Windows and Linux(even Linux/PPC). I always thought about submitting a bug request for it, but never got around to it.
I just end up using safari, which defaults to their really plain Jane version of webmail. It's good enough to check email away from the office. But it doesn't fix the fact that Firefox for OSX doesn't work correctly.
A company who's whole business is selling cheaply made goods, that require faster replacement is going to try and sell people something that's better quality but more expensive up front?
What's next? An article where Apple sells a $200 computer in partnership with Blue Hippo?
There is no long an option to block 3rd party cookies. Setting the network.cookie.cookieBehavior option in about:config to 1 is supposed to set the option, but it doesn't work. I loaded up the slashdot main page, and doubleclick.net set a cookie.
I read the title then the little blurb.......this whole summary reads like something a spammer would stick to the end of an email to try and get past a filter.
I've always hated the sticks that weren't all wood. Aluminum was the rage when I was really playing, and they have moved up to composite. I never felt I could feel the puck well on the stick with anything but wood.
And the blade will fall off my skates before I get another pair. My Tacks are the perfect shape of my feet. Hell, when the blade falls off, I'll have them rivet another blade on there.
All of this is just to get money from people that already have too much of it.
The only things you need for golf are a swing you can repeat, and knowing how to putt. Neither require anything more than a normal set of clubs, and some practice.
Ben Hogan said it best that there is no reason the average person can't break 70. And there was no tricks, no $50k electric vests, no goofy clubs that collapse when you swing the wrong way, or anything else. It's just having a swing that repeats, and includes the fundamental things you need to have that all great golfers do.
Best thing to be a better golf game is get the Ben Hogan book about the 5 fundamentals. About $5-$10 at any bookstore. Ben Crenshaw has a video on putting that's also good, and it's about the same price if you can find it.

I've dumped many roms onto diskettes. You just need a Professor SF2 from Carl Industries!!
True...but..pre-heat is still meaningless. You have two things
1) Heat oven to 375F
2) Place food in oven
or
2) Place food in oven
1) Heat oven to 375F
Ok George Carlin...
pre-boarding..what's this? To get on before you get on!?!
pre-recoreded.."this program was pre-recorded" Well of COURSE it's pre-recorded when else are you going to record it? Afterwards?!
pre-heating.. there's only two states an oven can be in, heated or unheated!

What exactly is so confusing about it?
Then Linux won like 12 years ago, when I ran Microsoft's DirectShow client for Linux.
That's what I thought when I read the article. If I had mod points, I'd rate it a +6 funny

1) Drink Ribena as your only source of Vitamin C
2) get scurvy
3) PROFIT!!!!
That's what "innovation" is. Taking someone else's idea, improving on it and making it useful. Coming up with your own ideas is called invention.
A company who's whole business is selling cheaply made goods, that require faster replacement is going to try and sell people something that's better quality but more expensive up front?

This story is six words long.
Is this a bug or feature?

Why would you want to run anything else on a VAX other than good ol' VMS? I wish someone made an Itanium laptop, so I could run OpenVMS on a portable.
At least something other than Takuma Sato will be the cause of a crash on an F1 circuit.
47 for a mousepad? That's chump change. THIS is a mousepad
HA, Nice drop of the Black Tiger reference.
HAHA.....I've played with guys like that....
