This doesn't mean that all nor most judges are "bought". They're humans and they're imperfect, the only people with a higher probability of being "bought" than everybody else are politicians.
Hey look, this stuff is common sense for us, and yes, many judges could be biased by whwatever influences. But if he ruled the other way, it doesn't mean that there's foul play. I think in most of these cases, people are just afraid of the technology.
You don't tell anybody where you live, what University or any relevant information. What do you want us to do? Search in all job engines and look a job for you?
My university has a "co-op" programs, have you tried to see if yours does too. I can see several positions open, companies like these because they're cheap labor.
But if you are serious about looking for interships or coops, maybe you need to get serious and do better searching yourself, or at the very least, provide relevant information!
Geez, kids today!

I remember his rants a long time ago, they were annoying and persistent. Did he just give up on slashdot, get a real job?
Maybe we need more examples, but it's not only about keyboard shortcuts. That's a simple example to give, but not the whole story.
Examples of configurable things that can impact documentation of a product are window managers / behaviours, configuring "single click / double click" functionality, skins, etc.
Imagine you change to a look and feel where buttons are triangles. But in an application, the triangle shape represents some "state" or "status" information. Now the super customizable look & feel clashes with your application.
There are much better examples of this, but it's way too late to think of many. The point is, I'm not only talking about shortcuts, but UI configurability in general.
This sounds like a simple but it's a very important point. Configurability can be powerful but it totally screws up documentation.
It also makes it so that users from one system to another don't know how to use the UI.
Now, you can have high configurability, but in most cases THE DEFAULT configuration should be solid and easily available.
Simple configuration (like desktop colors, fonts, etc) should be easily available, but more advanced features should be kept for power users. And there should always be a quick way to "use the defaults" (like login dialog with a use default window mgr settings option).
It's limited by one hour, because the quality is already crappy and they were only able to put a small drive in it. Can we all agree that if they put a 15 Gig drive, the camcoder would be a lot more expensive?
You do know that 1 hour of DV is about 11-15 gigs, right?
Additionally, you can record 90 minutes on some digital camcoders, and there are movies that are 90 minutes long.
So I decided to visit the redesigned altavista.com, and the results are almost just as bad.

I was a bit surprised Apple developed a browser, and with Open Source code, but when I read it wasn't using Gecko I was even more surprised.
However, seems like the KDE folks have done a great job here, so congrats to them. The Mozilla folks shouldn't feel "hurt", this should motivate them to improve what is already a really good browser.
The competition is not only IE, but more stuff is showing up all the time. That's great, competition in the browser arena is back. For a moment I tought we'd be stuck with IE forever!
The phrase "bread and circuses" clangs loudly in my head every time I see another ad for "reality TV." "Here, watch these people risk their necks and stab each other in the back, to take your mind off of the real world falling apart around you." It's not a new thing; anyone remember American Gladiators?
You are aware that reality TV is not a unique American TV fad, right?
So the rest of the world is also a decadent crumbling empire?
I guess I'm typical of europeans here in that I find the US dislike of anti-hate laws as strange as their predilection for firearms. I guess its a fundamental cultural difference.
He, he, Europeans love to say Americans are arrogant, but they should travel to Latin America to see what it's said of them over there, specially about the subject of "arrogance". This post is just another great example.
Hate speech laws are and free speech don't go together. That's why millions of people like me, who came from opressive dictatorships, and governments full of unelected bureocrats that "know better" than the masses, leave our countries to a better future for ourselves and our families at the shores of the United States of America. When that same freedom an opportunity is offered in Europe, let the rest of the world know so they can all go there to try to become citizens of your ancient countries.
So please, don't give us that better than thou attitude, because ignorant racists here can say whatever they want. WE WANT THEM TO EXPRESS THEIR HATRED, that way we can figure out who are the idiots and ignore them accordingly.
You think because you have anti-hate speech laws you have no racists in Europe? Better wake up buddy.
|Germany [bbc.co.uk] go to jail for a web post.
Umm DMCA, 2600, DeCSS ?
I don't like the DMCA, but what's worse, putting somebody to jail because they stupidly posted on a web site an (joke he says, doesn't matter) anti US and pro Bin Laden comment, or somebody posting arcane code for DVD ripping? Which case restrains speech more, which case is more likely to happen?
I certainly appreciate the Americans that go to Iraq to become a human shield
I don't know why you would appreciate them, it's the ultimate act of stupidity. Not only is it not going to deter the US, but in a way it "legitimizes" the use of civilians as shields in war.
Or are you going to tell me that the human shields Sadam has used before volunteered for the job?
I worked in a program to help migrant farm worker's kids get a better education, not to mention that I have met a lot of Mexican people. Not a single one of them has ever expressed those views. That's like pulling out KKK literature to say that the US is a hotbed of facist aryans.
Instead of coming up with weird 'royalty' reasons, come up with good business reasons for IBM to open source this product.
Hey, I'd love if they do that, and you could argue that there could be some benefits financially to IBM. However, from IBM's perspective, I don't see this is a great move, or something you do right off you buy a company.
Swing is not a window manager which is the first thing they need.
Plus they said in the article to write your apps in Java (they'll provided the look & feel) or GNOME, so I don't think it's a statement on Sun admitting anything on Swing.
Why waste money with yet another desktop environment when there's a free one? That's the thinking that probably went into this.
What we parents (you forgot to answer if you were one) welcome this idea.
I want a very restricted domain, for kids. I would still browse with my daughter, but I would do so to explain and discuss, and not be worried about going to the wrong website.
My two year old doesn't care about reading "criticism of the government", and she won't for quite some time. I totally do not care if that's included or not. I just want her to access the stuff she likes and that's it.
Ironically this is a matter of choice. Now we have the choice of a potentially more safe domain, that's great. And you still have the unrestricted internet, perfect.
I just don't see you coming up with a better solution. Criticizing all parents as lazy is well, just lazy in itself
Even if "hate speech" is too broad, I would like a domain like this that is very restricted and controlled.
When your kids grow up and you think they're mature enough, just turn off the kids domain stuff, and let them surf away. This is the best solution, no restrictions on the "regular" internet, and a very restricted optional space for kids.
I just remember playing SuperMarioBros in a video machine in the theater where I saw Episode 4 the first time in 1977 or mayby in 1978... Well, since SMB firts apperrance was in 1982, mayby it's episode 5.
Whoa, you're way off. Donkey Kong was released in 1981. In 1977 Pong was years out but was not very popular, until the next year 1978 Space Invaders is released and kicks off arcade mania.
In 1983 Mario Brothers is released, not "Super Mario brothers".
Super Mario brothers is released in 1985, and it was not an arcade game but a NES game.
It seems like if this gets implemented, an individual small business owner like youwould have to keep records of different tax rates from different states on all your sales. Ouch, yes, you'll definetly will need an accountant. This law is ridiculous.
