Or, to put it mathematically (without the aid of mathematical symbols or a safety net), auctions are a subset of sales where the price is determined by the highest bidder as opposed to determined before advertising, but sales are not a subset of auctions.
"But look at all the big companies like Microsoft. They charge you tens or hundreds of dollars and is that good software or should _it_ be given away for free?"
Sorry, it had to be said (probably "again"), or:
"Do you do better work when you're sat in the office being told to do it or when you you're doing a hobby you enjoy? It's made by people who enjoy it, so they don't feel they need to charge for it."
Sorry, my mind took things a bit further. The "one way" that I imagined involved more fallout across Europe than the aftermath of Chernobyl and missile trails tracing back across the Atlantic!
It generates real-time trees? You mean you get to plant the seed and watch it grow, day by day, week by week? Sure it'd be slow and take a while to complete, but can you imagine realism factor in games!
Well yes, it is called "copyleft", but to have a distribution license like it does then you still have to have the concept of copyright so that you can say "I wrote this therefore I own it and I get to license what happens with it (even though 'what happens with it' is I let you do almost anything you like as long as you give people the same freedoms)".
Without Linux source code being copyrighted first then it is effectively the same as public domain and so there is nothing to stop people breaking the license (or, possibly more accurately, nothing to sue people under).
As its default GPL license then Monodevelop puts "Copyright [year] [name]" followed by the GPL header, and I'm sure all of the other projects do. So, even if the freedoms make it count as "copyleft" then the source code itself is still copyrighted first.
Based on my general understanding of the way GoDaddy work as a host and their general quality, I like the (possible_ mis-type):
if these floating data centers hosted say, all the websites that godaddy.com host (which is alot), and someone "cut the cable"...all these websites would instantly go online
Yes, cut off GoDaddy's interference and the website would suddenly be accessible, rather than overloaded on a crammed server and unavailable!:D
... need to filter traffic at the network level, to stop the transfer of copyrighted material
So, lets see. Linux is copyrighted (it has to be to have a license on it). Does that mean they want to stop that as well? And the images on a web-page, they'll be copyrighted too so do they get stopped?
If not and they just mean "copyright infringing material" then 1) why don't they say that and 2) how do they ever plan to tell the difference between infringing and non-infringing use?
Same old same old, I guess: person of power wants to be seen to be "doing the right thing" by huge copyright holders but doesn't understand the detail or implication.
This doesn't stop it being a weird law when it was written, it just means that (by chance) it has come about (or is said to be coming about) within the next decade, which may or may not be sooner than they thought.
It hasn't happened to me recently, but apparently ISPs do sell failed lookup data to companies who then squat the domains. It won't be as quick as this case, but it can happen: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/28/1458247
Wow, not even a minute and [url=http://whois.domaintools.com/purplepickledpenguins.com]WhoIs.sc[/url] lists the domain registrant as
"This Domain is available at NetworkSolutions.com" owns about 135 other domains
Other interesting information:
NS1.RESERVEDDOMAINNAME.COM (has 1,856 domains)
So if they're running a single name server then they aren't registering many domains.
They also seem to insta-park it, so it isn't even as if they just "register it to keep it safe for you". They do it so they can pimp their "domains from $20" pages.
Except that you might get a lack of response when a domain is registered because someone has registered it but not put any DNS records behind it. That plus your ISP can still sniff that request anyway (which apparently some of them do).
On the main topic: as if it isn't bad enough having to beat the general domain squatters to a domain before they "squat" all over it, now you've got to beat the registrar to it as well?
I think they got their design inspiration from an old table saw
That is the one advantage/disadvantage for my described method - if you've got a CD you don't want then work the edge of the CD with a file or similar and it is even more dangerous - either as a sharp edge or as a serrated edge
*cackles evilly*
It is normal for me to think of these things when seeing that, isn't it?:D
Also, I think it is more of a fashion device that is intended to be left on a table beside the listener, or held in the hand (carefully). Either that or they're purposefully creating a market in clear cases that protect your CD but still let it look cool (nothing like iPods and their covers to stop the shiny player getting scratched, of course).
Imagine the scene: You're walking down the street, listening to your music and a hooded yob-youth is coming towards you. He stops you and demands your music player.
Normal response: Aw crap, he has a knife/gun and I've just got an MP3 player. I don't want to get killed over it so I'll hand it open.
New response: "What, this thing?" *swing spinning CD up in an arc and slice hoody's face before running while he recovers*
Now you get music and personal protection in one:)
Exactly what I was thinking. I've not encountered many of those type of dialogs (so few that I can't remember the last time I did) but if you look at his example then it still says "at http://avia..../" (or whatever his domain was) at the end.
Based on the comparison page that someone posted it isn't so much a vulnerability as just bad formatting that doesn't make things as clear as it could do. If you look at the bit that says "it is from this domain" then you still get the same old (and correct) information.
Which is actually its original meaning, which is why the word has changed;) Apparently it is from Middle English "gai" meaning "lighthearted or brightly coloured" (source)
That's why you get lots of kids at school sniggering when old stories are read: they mention being "happy and gay" using the old meaning of "happy and joyous" rather than being "happy and homosexual".
If you're talking of most company directors and CEOs then you might find that they will let it be installed on their machines. That is until you explain to them, in very simple words, what this thing they off-handedly agreed to actually is.
Somehow I doubt most CEOs know the technical details of the crap they install on machines. They probably just get told "the user agrees to a license, we install this program and then company X gives us a couple of dollars per computer over Y computers".
...an app that aggregates the killing of social networks?
I'd much rather have one app that lets me kill large amounts of MySpace *shudders* than one app to manage all of my personal information on multiple sites (that I'm not actually registered on) that might have different versions of 'me' on them.
If it gets to the themeing level as well then can you imagine the havoc? Facebook pages with MySpace-esque unreadable backgrounds, or MySpace pages with (shock, horror) readable colour schemes!
With our Freeview box (digital TV in the UK) we used to just have to make sure it was left on and on the correct channel. You may be able to set up an alarm for the program as well so that the digital box switches over (like someone else said) but the last time I tried one of those it popped up a box five minutes before the program started, which would make consecutive recording difficult.
It all depends on how you connect it to your VCR, though. If you connect from the digital box to the VCR with SCART then it'll have to be some form of channel changing on the digital box.
We get coupons? Where? The Digital UK site makes no mention of them. The only people I can imagine getting coupons are people over 75 who already get free TV licenses.
Not that it actually makes much difference to me. Our reception was so poor (even on terrestrial, never mind our old Freeview box) that we moved to Sky and got a minimal package with the broadband included for about the same as we were paying for broadband on its own.
1.1 litre barely enough to get it moving? Wow, major American influence there (or a severely heavy car). I've got a 1.2 litre Fiat Punto (which seems to still be similar hp, so it isn't an underpowered 1.1l on the Yugo) and it's fine. 1.0 litre cars aren't that uncommon in things like Nissan Micras either.
Some of those shots on the UK promotional poster even look like a VW Golf, and they're used as boy-racer cars!
At least they're getting something good and home-grown. We're a bit short of British cars in England at the moment.
Why just make it the third to light the cigarette? Why not also give it a florescent balaclava and make it stand atop a ladder in the middle of no-man's land as well?
Slashdot Mirror
Well, in that case they are subsets but they're "complete subsets" (I think that was the term) i.e. a subset that contains all of the superset.
Or, to put it mathematically (without the aid of mathematical symbols or a safety net), auctions are a subset of sales where the price is determined by the highest bidder as opposed to determined before advertising, but sales are not a subset of auctions.
