If more capital helps them ramp up production and get more exposure I'm all for it. Better than a new hummer or F150 I suppose. Economy of scale will hopefully drive down the price. One of Tesla's pr folks was on NPR saying just that, if they had GM's facilities the prices wouldn't be so high.
actually, unless they changed it (it's been while since I've played) you actually receive an XP bonus when you are a party of 3 or more as a way of encouraging grouping. The total XP of the mob is divided among the party but then everyone gets bonus on top of it so a party of 3 is actually generating more net XP than those 3 individuals would be generating separately if they were killing at the same rate.
No but if you break the rules such as do something to void the warranty they do not have to cough up resources to help you. The radio does not consume resources from the manufacturer to use it, where as the online portion of a game does, they can kick you out of there sandbox and you are free to continue using your licenses sans any further resources from the company. It's apple's and oranges because the multiplayer aspect is a service not a good.
While only tangentially related to Ubuntu. I've been following the OpenChange project and there work developing a MAPI plugin for Evolution. Unfortunately it has been pushed back to the GNOME 2.26 release which we will probably not see until Ubuntu 9.04.
This makes me a sad panda as one of the only things in the way of moving my workstation over to Linux is exchange access.
EVE's currency has depreciated as time has gone on. At the time the scam was run the real world value of all that in-game money was about $117,000 USD. It's by far the biggest virtual fleecing in the history of MMO's
Not sure how that got modded interesting when it's incorrect, I don't really expect mods to fact-check but a little common sense would be nice!
You most certainly can waive constitutional rights. You can consent to searches, you can confess to crimes, you can waive your right to a jury trial, etc.
You're missing the point. There are no keys to write down. If Alice wants to talk to Bob, then Alice will generate a random key and send it to Bob encoded as the quantum state of photons (There are several exchanges that go on here but for the sake of simplicity I'm not listing them). Due to quantum mechanics this exchange cannot be eavesdropped on. Once the key exchange is concluded Alice uses the key to encode her message as a One-time pad, and transmits the message via conventional means. The message cannot be compromised because one-time pads are mathematically unbreakable.
As you can see there is nothing to write down, the keys are generated on the fly for each message.
It isn't a new algorithm, it's a secure method to share a secret. You use the photon states to establish a shared secret and then used that shared secret as the key for a one-time pad (which is unbreakable).
No one can eavesdrop the key exchange because quantum mechanics prevents that, and no one can break the one-time pad used for transmission of the actual payload over conventional lines, because it is mathematically unbreakable.
I personally loved IBM's Larry Loeb's description of that.
If you haven't been following the cryptography area lately, let me assure you that this action by the NSA was the crypto equivalent of the Pope coming down off the balcony in Rome, working the crowd with a few loaves of bread and some fishes, and then inviting everyone to come over to his place to watch the soccer game and have a few beers. There are some things that one just never expects to see, and the NSA handing out source code along with details of the security mechanism behind it was right up there on that list. Up to this point, the NSA has embodied in itself the classic Cold War paranoia imperative of the past 50 years ("If you knew what we knew, you'd agree with us"). To see it spewing source like some long-haired Stanford student was enough to make for uncontrollable twitching.
Sorry, I don't really subscribe to the Debian definition of free. Firefox is FOSS, you can sub the images out if you like. Red Hat is the same way and RHEL is still FOSS, people don't piss and moan about it.
Except you are extending FOSS to something it isn't. Firefox compiled binaries with or without EULA have no affect on the licensing of the code itself. Since Firefox's code is in fact FREE (as in freedom) and FREE (as in beer) saying it isn't FOSS is disingenuous at best. Firefox's is as free as any other open-source project (Unless you want to get in to the BSD vs. GPL freedom debate), but Mozilla has every right to put an EULA on compiled binaries, which again has no affect on the distribution license for the source code and is mentioned right at the top of the EULA.

SUN Java is GPL now, and there are FOSS implementations of the Java specification.
We do in the US as well, it's listed in the exceptions part of the DMCA and has been part of the U.S. Code for awhile.
My question is how was this not already covered under other laws? Why was this special law needed?
The difference being Google is a useful tool to a lot of people. TR is just entertainment.
Mouth meet foot?

feel like a thief or a beta-tester.
Parent clearly did not play WoW at release!
Ubuntu doesn't put the same restrictions, with regards to licensing, on what goes in the distro that Debian does.
It's on the GNOME road map for 2.26, look for it in Ubuntu 9.04
It's a marginal tax. As federal income tax goes you will never be any poorer by making another dollar.

Apple's EULA isn't the law.

CBS and FOX won't do it to Obama because they *like* Obama.
You and I apparently don't watch the same FOX.
"Certainly he is a reluctant hero."
It actually just shows the mind-set of the people from the left.
Breaking the law = okay, as long as it is against the democratic party...which is scary if that same idea is applied to more situations..
I prefer to think of it as:
Someone violate government officials privacy. Outrageous.
Government violating your privacy. Patriot Act.

It does allow distribution of the binaries, the license clearly allows you to compile and distribute them, thus it is still FOSS.
Except you are extending FOSS to something it isn't. Firefox compiled binaries with or without EULA have no affect on the licensing of the code itself.
