You need to sell it, because you spent the last year doing nothing else but make it and now you have to pay your rent and buy food and clothes.
Well then this person is an idiot, isn't he?
I want to sit around in my pajamas all day and make macaroni necklaces; where's my god-given right to get paid for that? Huh? To get paid for something, I have to do something that someone else is willing to give me money for.
Copyright is a state-granted monopoly to encourage the creation of creative works - it's for the public's benefit, not the artist's benefit.
Everything that you write, even a shopping list, automatically has your copyright,...
Not exactly - only if it is a creative, intellectual or artistic act. If you are just copying the track names off the back of a CD case, it is not any of those things.
Arguably, even a shopping list is not copyright, because it's hardly intellectual or artistic, and its creativity is disputable!
I guess they're doing much the same thing that Apple did with iTunes on Mac OS X. It blends in, but it's full of widgets that simply aren't found anywhere in any other application.
It's not at all "obvious the inquirer is looking for better ideas or opinions", since they don't mention that they've exhausted (or even examined) medical store offerings.
Actually, I spoke to some of the ERTOS people today. They're doing some interesting stuff, but like another poster has pointed out their focus is not speed, but reliability and "trustworthiness".
The summary is misleading a bit - it's only faster on ARM v4 or v5 processors.
From TFA:
Wombat, NICTA's architecture-independent para-virtualised Linux for L4-embedded, can be faster than native Linux on the same hardware. Specifically on popular ARM v4 or v5 processors, such as ARM9 cores or the XScale, Wombat benefits from the fast address-space switch (FASS) technology implemented in L4-embedded, while this is not supported in native Linux distributions.
Maybe for the same reason girls read Nancy Drew and boys read Asimov.
We've already narrowed it down to "SciFi", more so than just "books". If we were asking what types of gentle sleuth novels teenagers like to read, Nancy Drew would apply to both genders. Apart from the odd scantily-clad busty barmaid, what is it about some SciFi that would turn girls off, if they were interested in SciFi at all?
I know my Australian-bought Sony DVD player (bought from Bing Lee) is region-free. It is careful not to mention it in the manual or on the box, but I just need to put a DVD in, and it will just play. I've only tested it on a single region 1 DVD, so YMMV.

You idiot. Where in the summary, or the article, does anyone take issue with Facebook generating a profit?

The "MelindaGates" hack? Is that because people are getting sick of being screwed by Bill?

On my first job with NCR I took all of the vacation days I had the first two years I worked there. I was fired for that.
You fool! What's the point of "vacation days" if you can't take them without being fired?
Uh, this was on MSN chat, not on Steam itself.
From TFA, it's only for WinXP.

No, you wouldn't, because you would not get the double/triple letter/word benefits.
No, I'm Spar... err, Walrus!
Yeah, and everyone who posts a comment has, indeed, RTFA.

So how do you remotely access your new installations? Via telnet?
Look at my user ID. I'm not new.

And with an attitude like yours, I'm not at all suprised that the divorce rate is that high.
No, I'm Spartacus!
It'd be funnier if they *didn't* work out, and grew a bit broader around the midsection as a result.
Duke Nukem Whatever...
-1? WTF? This was tongue-in-cheek humour. Damn you moderators!
Anyone got a torrent?

That's a shame. Especially with the speeds they would get, the bottle necks would shift back to the computers themselves, rather than the network.
