If you ever understood why Richard Stallman takes exactly the stance he takes, you would never make so a silly statement.
Richard Stallman saw his own code he wrote for his own projects incorporated in a commercial product and got forbidden to ever reuse or publish his own code. And thus because the company in question had a license in place that basicly made all changes and extension to the code base the property of the company.
Are you implying that I haven't had the same thing happen to me? I don't think his stance is a good one on the principle, much less on an anecdote.
Most important is the comment that the kids exposed to the legal system, were more likely to come back to it.
Exposing children to the ugliness, simplicity, and experience of a system engenders them to it by removing the mystery, stigma, and fear associated with it. These feelings are replaced by familiarity. This is particularly true of technology as well.
The implications of this ruling are profound and far-reaching. Following the court's logic would subject user data associated with any service generally available online to the jurisdiction of all countries.
Historically, this has always been the case. This is not alarming to me in any way. The courts pick and choose when to enforce foreign and domestic policies. Ever been subjected to a pissed off Israel? All your logs are belong to them vis a vis the FBI. What's more, who thinks that stare decisis matters when dealing with such a major change? Sensationalism on/. I'm seeing the trend now. Get back to me when this is at the court of appeals thx.
t could mean everything from curing cancer to making manned interplanetary space expeditions feasible
If this was PERCIEVED as a real cure to Radiation Sickness, it would mean nuclear research would become much more prevalent (power in general would be cheaper!), cancer research would become more important, aging would be addressed with this in some way, and this pill would potentially give someone superpowers...from the ungodly number of mutations we would be around to see. Who knows how this would affect war efforts...probably not in a good way.
That video can serve as a lesson to others on how to manage a project for an extended period of time and keep things consistent and predictable.
I'd say to limit this "lesson" to an Open Source project, not just any project. His points are good strategic choices, which are well reasoned, even if some of them are incomplete or not fully explained in the length of the talk. He makes caveats throughout the presentation to exclude traditional choices found in commercial enterprise level development due to the heterogeneous BSD development environments. The implementation is a bit touchy feely to be a lesson on managing in private industry imo.
This has nothing to do with "error management". Geolocation by IP is based off a combination of who leased the IP and where the packets are routed. If you are working through a dedicated T3 in Orange County, you're likely to resolve to Seattle. This is a persistent problem for geolocation services, not specifically Google. I'm not sure the point of the article, when anyone who's used commercial and free lookups, knows this is par.
In other news, they probably heard that Vista is a next generation OS.
How do you know we don't have the computing power? You're assuming that that's the barrier. "We'd expect to see intelligence" sounds an awful like you have a pre-conception of what you want to see. I'd love to subscribe to your newsletter.
A fountain soda is chemically different than a bottled/canned soda. The chemical differences are many. Calories, type of calories, preservatives and the assocaited health ramifications. I'll take fountain soda 100% of the time (imo). Brown sugar , coloring, suspension in carbonated water over multiple acids and preservatives (I used to have cans lying around 10 years ago but have since forgotten the standard list). Tearing the aluminum generates ions that make those canned drinks taste crisper on your tongue after you pull the tab. It's scary effective. If you're into the chemistry, you might want to switch to water or stay drinking AM/PM Fountain drinks, or even the overpriced stuff from Fast Food "restaurants". Just my.02
I think WotLK was when a lot of people realized that the last glimmer of challenges and "player skill" in WoW have been patched out. It's been reduced to basically a complete skill-less game.
So what you're saying is that all the people who claimed they were good are running for the hills because the game is being normalized to an abstract, where everything is essentially the same. It lowers the barrier for those who are hindered by specific mechanics, and raises it for others, who depend on inequalities. Those people who claim that skill has something to do with differences (as if they were elite), were always playing a different game anyway. This has nothing to do with skill, but I can hear your inner qq (couched in a "I'm one of the elite). A normalization of the game is what most mmo gravitate toward in all cases. This is certainly not a surprise, given the history of mmos and the persistence of WoW.
It's a business. Period. Their customers are the players. If the players want 55 free levels, faction changes, name changes, welfare epics, and on and on and on, and are willing to pay for it, either through a direct fee (name changes, faction changes) or by virtue of continuing to pay their monthly fee, they will keep getting it because at the end of the day, Blizzard, and every other major game manufacturer cares about one thing and one thing only: MONEY.
This is a fundamentally incomplete view of reality. While there are certainly people at Blizzard for whom the company is only about money, there are also people who are there because they want to make great games.
Incomplete view of reality? Can you begin to explain that statement? There's no contradiction in the 2 viewpoints. Making a great game has little to do with motivations. They have the money to make great games because of their priorities, but also because of their thoroughness in every aspect.
Back in the 90's ppl would hear about the language, see it was some other kind of site and would use perl or some other cgi language. Not sure how or why you would want to cite 2+2=4, as if that would give it more credibility.
Out of the 100 or so employees from our Indian contract houses, we made offers to 2 of the employees and cancelled the contracts due to negligence. One declined and the other has been a very smart, pragmatic, coder to this day. However, people from other companies have reported much smaller ratios of decent/incompetent out of India. YMMV.
A large amount of excavation, study, exposure and seismic investigation into the greater Stonehenge area, has occurred for hundreds of years. In the 80's some groups were taking readings all over the place looking for the source of the stone that may have been long-buried, IIRC. Finding a previously undiscovered, massively large, underground structure, so close to Stonehenge now, is surprising.
We treat people differently, sometimes even ATTACKING them, because their skin is a different color. We treat our females as second-class citizens. Furthermore we mistreat and mismanage the biosphere we live in, poisoning it with our industrial wastes, destroying parts of it out of ignorance or greed, or because it suits us to do so, and damn the consequences.
What's the rationale for requiring world harmony before galactic-expansionism? The idea that equality between genders or "races" (which I can agree, is nonsense) can/should exist, is presupposition. The sanctity of some prehistoric environment is not a given.
I can't believe there were Phaser tracers when firing at the Romulan Mining ship. What about the silly bar scene that features an alien-per-alien recreation of the (Star Wars) Mos Eisley Cantina? There was a lot wasted to special effect, ultimately resulting in a mediocre film.
That raises the question as to why law enforcement organizations are permitted to buy commercial products. The need for traceable, reliable products ought to compel compliance with a serious standard, where designs are adhered to, testing is complete, etc.

Stallman Says Pirate Party Hurts HIS VERSION OF Free Software
FTFY
>blockquote>I can't even name one good film based from a game.
Resident Evil was good. Not a great film of course, but it was relatively good.
I don't know a lot of halfway competent engineers who are PC Repair men.
That was inflammatory. It happens to be the product I use for pair programming you insensitive clod.
I believe it's moderated by aforementioned cops, according to the summary. It's unlikely you can troll it successfully for long.
I didn't even notice that. The /. editors are responsible for regurgitating from disreputable sites like Techdirt. Techdirt, what a shithole.

You're an idiot.
What it comes down to is only uninformed, ignorant fools still speak in absolute terms about medical procedures.

I'm surprised there has not been a Stargate SG-1 reference to Merlin's tomb yet. Isn't that an eerie coincidence?

Star Trek has poisoned your mind, imo.
Apple's stance appears to be, right or wrong, but it doesnt matter, since they never really make up their minds anyway.
FTFY.
