You wrongly assumed I would read such an article. If you already have made your mind up you don't want to read something that contradicts that, do you?
The courts agreed that weekend/audax was wrong, but did not award any damages, because Curry did not incur any losses himself: he published them on his own website. That could translate as a company could take sourcecode licenced under an open licence. When they are eventually found out, they can argue they don't have to pay any damages because the code was available for free. But these were just short proceedings, so the verdict may be different if Curry decides to push this trough.
ok, since you did not understand the first time round: show me the command to use a copy-on-write disk with the filesystem in base.img. That you twist the advantage of COW into 'COW is hard but you don't have to use it' is your own special debating style I guess.
Only the technology is named User Mode Linux (UML) instead of Xen. Xen still requires you to jump trough quite a number of hoops before you have a virtual machine running. With UML it is so simple you can start, stop & create new ones on demand like is done at linuxzoo.net
With xen you need a modified host kernel and do some tricky stuff with LVM to use Copy on write disks. With lvm it is the default, you can just point to a base image and have the users modifications in a separate file. The downside is the speed penalty: UML is 40-50% slower than Xen.
Like Germany has ~10 million microbreweries? (and if you did, it's not like nobody knows your families recipe. And if they don't, then there is no problem coming up with a similar as 'the family recipe'.
Which one does not belong in the following list: Warsteiner, Bittburger, Heineken.
You're a anti semitic troll right? Post some pro-jewish racism and enjoy the 'anti-semitic' rebuttals rolling in. No matter if you are a jew or not, you are a big disgrace to humanity.
Patent pending !== patented. Everybody knows they are incompetent swines but the patent office may still reject patent applications because they are too obvious or non-inventions.
As XP says about designing ahead of time like you are doing here: You Ain't Gonna Need It. There is no point in preparing for the future, as you cannot predict the future. If it is a customer requirement it's different, but you should not waste time on reacting to things that may not happen at all. Just make sure your units are easily refactorable and have good unit test, then it will not be hard at all to change one layer. If you don't, no -prepared for everything toolkit- will save your ass anyway.
the subject says it all. Why do you even bother to keep such trite on your computer/bookmarks? Oh, well, suppose it's all part of the wondrous world of pissing people off.
That is unpossible. I agreee that compared to the USian climate moderate european politics (or even right wing) would be considered extreme left. (liberals are considered leftist over there, but right-side over here). But that is only the right wing majority that has played its card very well by getting hold of most media outlets. But that does not mean that there can be no-one with common sense and care for their fellow human beings.
Critics question why the FCC only approved the technology from that big radio-backed company, Ibiquity. What about: 'Because they payed the most money and the FCC does not mind creating monopolies when properly greased.'
Once again, I am happy not to live over there, my middle of the road ideas would be considered ultra left wing in over there.
I know of a country bordering both the atlantic and pacific, that started to rack up the national debt as soon as its current rightwing president got to power. But can a country go bankrupt? If you choose to spend a lot of money on welfare (and other socially beneficial activities) you might end up with a small percentage of people dependent on it all the time and a large majority that needs it once or twice and then bounces back into prosperity. If you choose to spend all that money on military and waging war on your own and other countries' people, you end up with the effects of that: dead people, and a larger percentage that hates you so much they don't mind killing themselves if they kill enough of your people. (oh and let's not forget the fat cats that trive on defence contracts alone)
So both systems genereate a percentage of parasites/fat cats/lazy asses. Unemplaoyed people on wellfare are just as unproductive as soldiers in the army, but a lot cheaper to maintain. Why would you prefer the system that delivers death and destruction?
Unfortunately, this is not true. These microbes are common hospital dwellers, you don't get most of them from eating beef or walking in the street. Infection-wise, a hospital is a very dangerous place to be: a lot of infected people living in crowded conditions (they only isolate you when they have a clear indication, ie when it is too late). The chances that you are not the strongest or healthiest person are very big if you need to go to a hospital, so the chances of you getting infected there are also higher then for a healthy person.
Farmers feeding antibiotics are a nice scapegoat, but if most/all resistant infections are via hospitals, don't you think it's the hospitals that need to clean up their act? Giving antibiotics to cattle will create resistant microbes that live in cattle, but don't make them ill. If they would make them ill, that would mean a big risk to the farmer, so he'd kill his sick cows instead of waiting for them to get well again if the infection looks serious enough. Such measures will quickly stop a disease from spreading and developing. The other thing is, that most diseases are host specific. Humans normally don't get verterinairy diseases, so some of them being antibiotics resistant does not matter.
You obviously are a troll, but I will bite anyway: A windows computer without a properly trained user will be a stinking mess in no time. Ye she may be able to install quake on it, but also all the malware she thinks sounds entertaining. That is fine at home, but in a school or office environment that will not do. Then it suddenly does not matter that the user cannot install any software by themselves. They may not like that very much, but it keeps their computer running for 5 years or more (provided the hardware does not fail.
About installing software: most non-geek oriented distro's use a graphical shell around the package manager, so you never have to type in those hard commands. with it (and a broadband connection) you can pick and choose thousands of software packages. Do you think there is a near equivalent of that on windows?
I do live in a monarchy, unlike you, but I have never seen scorched earth, a coffin ship or a lynching party. Maybe you confused cultural practice (specifically how to solve conflicts and gain power) with a gouvenrment system?
True, our queen performs mostly a ceremonial role, if she would mingle too much in politics we'd quickly be a republic, but we still a monarchy. If you hazd studied history a bit more, you'd know that a lot of european countries still are a monarchy. Even the monarchy once ruling Ire is still going strong, i'd say. Turning it in to a soap opera was a brilliant move.
If you are interested in experimenting with being a dictator, may I suggest you have a look at my.sig?
Don't know much about xul, but the mention of automatic install gives me shivers. That little thing of most windows users having administrator rights by default does not need a rerun on other platforms that are more secure by default. there should only be one way how software gets installed on a linux system, and that is through it's package manager.
Unless you need no hightech equipment and knowledge to produce an atom bomb, your post is a contradiction in terminus. To produce weapons grade uranium you need a massive enritchment factory, which costs a lot of money and hard to get materials. Doing general genetic manipulation requires just a small lab and a (few) good scientist(s). The reagents and machines are not bulky or restricted and not hard to get in south korea. It wouldn't be too hard even to set up a company in a non-suspect country and do your research there. It is not that hard to disguise your research as having noble goals (like developing a vaccine against HIV or smallpox). The only difference might be that your 'vaccine' is a bit more lethal then intended. Then you ship it to the home country (terrible outbreak of HIV and smallpox to combat) and test it on some 'volunteers'.
So making the nasty stuff is not that hard, and a lot less hard then developing a nuclear bomb. The downside is, once you have demonstrated you have nuclear bombs, people accept that as a deterrent. Alternative weapons are not known at large, so their effect as deterrent are much less (if nobody knows you can kill everybody in a few seconds, nobody is going to be afraid).
No, not quite. He obviously thinks that using capitalism is the only way to develop a country, but forgets the downside of capitalism: you don't start with a blank slate. The few induviduals with the most capital have the most power. The first few years his mini companies will do as intended, and generate a lot of demand for electricity. But what is there to stop big companies from going in the countryside where all this new demand for electicity has been created and buying up the machinery? They only need to knock out a small part of the small time producers to create extra demands for their own producs, which they can roll out and sell at a premium. Capital is a strategic good, so the big players will have no problem buying it at a higher price to obtain a monopoly. With electricity one might argue that a higher consumption of it leads to higher production. But with water it's a different story. People already need clean drinking water. The IMF pushes very hard on developing nations to allow their (nationalised) waterplants to be bought by big international companies, creating an immediate monopoly held by a commercial player. Now how again is a developing nation thatjust has fallen for the IMF privatisation crap, going to stop the big water companies that just moved in from eliminating the small time competitors? IMHO there is no way you can do that, money will buy anything, but only for the ones who have the most money.
You have mixed up 'your ego' with 'OSS'. OSS is just a collection of software licences, it is not an entity with a mission. It does not need to thrive or respect from anybody, nor do books or other software. It is just things, tools if you like. You on the other hand seem to need some respect. I will not and can not judge if you deserve that, but demanding respect has never gained much. Maybe next time when you make such comments about OSS, replace OSS with 'software with a healthy fuck-you-licence'. If that makes no sense anymore, then your previous statement was nonsense too.
We already have such a monopoly on implementation of ideas: it is called copyright. Thanks to disney-dollars and the tendency of the us to use trade-agreements to bypass local gouvernment it usually is valid for much too long already.
I will welcome the time when the US's power has shrunken so much that those copyright and patent agreements will be broken unilaterally.
