I didn't say it was too risky, but feel free to just make stuff up.
Well. Your response was in total: "Because no one in all of history has ever been sued for patent infringement or copyright infringement after releasing software,"
So you don't consider it too risky? Then I don't actually see your problem, as this is a potential additional source of money.
Clearly this isn't just about what employees can do on their own time since the comparison the article and summary made was to google's 20% thing which is specifically not about employees own time. But feel free to not read.
Sorry about that., I based on my understanding on your initial contribution, and didn't realize that they will get paid for creating apps that they can sell and get 70% in addition to their paycheck. I'm pretty sure that if my work was something that I enjoyed, then I would pick the one where I can make whatever app I want and get paid for more.
So no private person should release Apps, because the risk is that great?
And to return your original options, there seems to be a bit of doubt about people actually getting the 20%. However, I don't see the whole 20% as relevant here at all (or only partly). I thought that this is about what employees can do on their own time. (Which seems to be surprisingly restricted in states.) Especially as there's discussion about moonlighting at Microsoft here that basically you can usually get a permission for it anyways. So you can do other things than phone Apps as your own projects. Although apparently by your logic it's too risky, as someone in all of history has been sued after releasing software.
Which country do you recommend, and how easy would it be for an English speaker to learn its native language?
I don't really know what to recommend, but you can find out a lot about countries online... Finding work where you can speak English isn't all that difficult, but the native language part is rather difficult. Not at all impossible, but you need a lot of time and practice. Unless you're a language genius. I'm definitely not. I can write passable English, but speaking is hard. I definitely suck at French lessons. But since it's for fun I don't really care. If I were planning to move there I would probably concentrate a bit more and suck a bit less.
I stopped downloading music after they managed to lobby through a stricter law prohibiting it. Oh. I stopped buying music at the same time too. Unfortunately I listen to a lot less music now than before. (Although Spotify has increased it a bit, but not to the previous levels).
I bought one CD for myself last year and actually felt bad about it.
And did you distinguish the audio in double blind test, or even blind test? I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I would really like to see some statistics on how many can hear the difference in a double blind test (even if you could hear a difference). Especially after reading some comments from people who have done some experiments.
Dude, your OWN LINK states that Firefox are the people who are not going to craft Firefox for the iPhone.
Now that Apple has relaxed the stance on interpreters, it could be the case that Apple would allow it. Although if they will, we should see some other browser before too long, like Opera...
Have you read the 3.2.2 (if I remember correctly)? It states that all interpreted code must come with the application and everything else must be interpreted by webkit. I guess you could make a HTML rendering engine, but good luck with JavaScript etc.
Hmm. All the ones I've seen have had option to always allow in the settings menu (before you launch the app). It was a bit unclear though, but it works...
My biggest concern with phones right now is Elop will drop Meego. I've waited over a year to have a play with one before I lock myself into a 2 year contract (current plan is for a WP7 phone)
Oh yes. Mine too. I didn't get the N900 when it came out and now I've been waiting for a Meego-phone. I don't have anything against Symbian (nor iOS / Android), but I really want a truly open phone. (I'm basing this on N810 which I still own, although it doesn't really get much use anymore...)
The Prius has no shift, no clutch, no neutral. It has a planetary gear system with:
And nevertheless simple Google image search shows that there indeed is a control that has R, N, D and B written on it.
If you are claiming that they don't work because they too are controlled electronically that's completely different thing. And I bet this was heavily under scrutiny in the investigations.
If the computer commands it to drive the car forward you have no way to intervene.
That's a bold assertion. And that's a rather big if when the brake command overrides the commands from the gas pedal. I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the crashes were caused by the floor mat causing the gas pedal to get stuck and the driver getting scared (especially after reading about cars getting out of control). That's still a design issue, but one that can happen in any car. Happened to me once in a 'normal' car (no accident though).
Uh - you have no idea what you are talking about. You can't even spell Qwest correctly, much less make an assumption that Qwest leases thier data lines from someone else and then contracts out to thier competitor for the installs. Good grief. Stick to low voltage, please.
Didn't ANYONE see the original poster make the retraction, and state that this wasn't Qwest?
Wasn't there a story here earlier that facts only make people clench to their own opinion more strongly if the facts don't match the preconceptions? ^.^
Why does Firefox (or any browser) have to "support h.264 natively"? Why can't Firefox support h.264 through the use of a plugin just like they currently do for all video formats? I ask this as a serious question because the whole HTML 5/h.264 debate doesn't seem to make any sense.
What do you mean with can't support h.264 through plugin? Go visit Interopbridges from Microsoft for an example.
Unfortunately, that's bullshit. Elections effect the lives and wellbeing of millions if not billions of people. Every voter has a strong moral responsibility to vote in a way that actually leads to the best outcome. Usually, this means voting for the best electable candidate.
In short term that limits the amount of electable candidates. In long term it limits the amount and variety of candidates even more... Well, I guess it partly depends on how much the system is broken, but giving no support for 'non-electable' candidates indicates that the things/ideas that they proponents of aren't important and the 'more electable' candidates can ignore them...
I've used Avast (although currently I don't have any antivirus software) and the program behaved very nicely. It needs to be registered once a year or it will pop-up a notice at start up. Also, the program was nicely divided in components so it was easy to select the ones that I needed. In addition to this, the computer I had it on was a bit underpowered, so it was nice that it could be easily disabled temporarily when gaming (and wasn't all that heavy when running either).
I had zero problems uninstalling it. If I'd install an antivirus program now, I would install Avast. (AVG isn't that bad either, but I can't say that I never had any problems with it.)

Oh well, then we actually seem to agree on this. I didn't appreciate the comparison either, not really apples and oranges.

So if you work at Apple or Google and sell Apps in their respective marketplaces you get 100%?
Well. If you consider it a risk that you create a mobile app that won't sell and bring you extra money on top of your work wages.
The .Net (and Silverlight, not that I've ever written anything with SL) documentation online is actually rather nice

Indeed, consider N900, which I regret I didn't buy when it came out.

A lot of Nokia E series use the battery cover as an antenna

On my computer the new layout seems lighter than the previous (non-html) version. (Of course improvements in Minefield may also have helped)
I do not like that it resets the page to the top when you hit options though!
The same thing happens when you click "Score". (actually when you close the overlay)

I don't feel defenseless where I'm living.
If it turns out that the shooter was indeed motivated by that graphic, THEN it might be acceptable to begin talking about this.
if motivated by the graphic, then if MIGHT be acceptable to talk about this?
Mozilla takes IN millions every year. What's wrong with paying OUT money when necessary?
They might have other costs to consider too

You may have some Wikipedia editing to do. (Unless you are just rephrasing my words slightly less politely)
