Why do you think people put up web sites? To benefit the user? NO!
They put up web sites to benefit themselves. If the site is useful to users, the site gets visitors. But ultimately, the purpose of putting up the web site is all about the web site developer.
I have a smart caching system that handles this for you. It's open source, but I have not uploaded a recent release to a web site. Anyone wanting it can email george dot reese at valtira dot com to get a copy. My current version is for Java 5.
How does this actually work? I have downloaded it, installed it, but I cannot figure out where it was put, how to make Java 5 the default (the utility that comes with Java 5 does not appear to do anything), or how to even execute a Java 5 command line.
You are deluded if you think this is a good idea. Except for small start-ups, options are always worth more to the company giving them out than the employee receiving them. You are much better getting the equivalent in cash or some other form.
It should make a difference since failing to expense them hides an actual corporate expense. By expensing them, you can read a company's financials and have a better picture of the state of the business.
My Infiniti FX35 has adaptive cruise control. It is the coolest, freakiest feature. Basically, all you need to do is steer your car. The adaptive cruise control takes care of your speed and maintaining a safe distance.
Once you get used to it, it totally changes the way you drive. I definitely think it makes driving safer and less stressful.
Neither of your points are the basis for his argument. So, even if false, they have no bearing on his main issue which is this:
The Wikipedia process suffers from regression to the mean. Just as glaringly bad articles will be revised and polished, beautiful articles will be revised and destroyed.
I love Wikipedia, but you cannot escape the truth of his premise.
If you want to patent the use of technique X in field Y, you better be the first person to use it.If you want to trademark word X in field Y, there better not be anyone else using it.
The key difference being that in patent law, there is no "in field Y" clause.
Unless you are a major player in a company, stock options are always worth more to the company than they are to the employee. They are therefore a stupid tool to use for compensation when, for the same value to the company, it is possible to provide something of greater value to the employee.

Exactly what are Linus' credentials when it comes to user interface design?
Linus' opinion on user interface design matters only slightly more than his opinion Minnesota high school sports.
Typical ignorant comment assuming the user should be able to be exhibit the intelligence of a gerbil yet be able to perform complex tasks easily.
Remind me.... What exactly is a computer for?
I thought it was to enable people to perform complex tasks quickly and simply.
It seems to me that you think a computer is some sort of demonstration tool for one's intelligence.
A typical open source dork response. It's the user's fault for wanting to do some particular thing, not the software's fault.
You're wrong.

As a general rule, O'Reilly authors do both.
Science does not exclude god.
Science requires empirical evidence. There is not empirical evidence for god. Therefore, Science has no opinion on god.
The moment there is empirical evidence for god, it will fall into the realm of science.

I love the book, but you people turning this into an American vs. British thing are ignorant buffoons.
In the end, Adams was nothing more than a poor rip off of Kurt Vonnegut--an American author.
If you are deciding between Python and Java, you obviously don't understand the question.
AAPL is zooming downwards because it has had a tremendous runup that has significantly outpaced the market.
I bought at $17 and I am quite happy right now.
You might want to get educated on the finance industry before you go off making idiotic comments like this.

It tends to be the institutional investor who focuses on EPS. Home investors tend to do so for a variety of reasons, including having a pretty logo.

You can configure this behavior. ReplayTV lets you play a slideshow from your photos collection if you have one while paused.

Oh, yeah.
And for trademark, it is word X in field Y in region Z.
The key difference being that in patent law, there is no "in field Y" clause.
You are not at all talking about the same thing. "Prior art" in patent law automatically does a blow to your patent (assuming it is the same thing).
The existence of someone else using your trademark before you is not in itself problematic for a trademark holder.
It depends on the context of the so-called "prior art", including industry and scope of exposure.
Trademark law does not require uniqueness.
Look at all the retards commenting on trademark law.
Your mark is a trademark as long as you treat it as a trademark. You don't need to register it, but registering it enables you certain powers.
The only problems Microsoft has are
a) with the generic nature of the term Excel
b) that they had not sent cease and desist letters earlier
Unlike copyright, failure to enforce a trademark is the same as giving up a trademark.
Unlike patent law, prior existence of other examples does not itself render the mark invalid.

It is only a violation of the treaty to place WMD in space. Non-WMD like lasers can be placed into space.
In addition, a country may withdraw from the treaty.
