Indeed. How about letting us know when India has 400% as many developers as the United States, which is just about an equal proportion of the population.
Sadly, you do require the copyright holder's permission to create one...which is sad if the creator of the original work chooses not to authorize it in your language.
Yet its a victory for things like Open Source.
For instance, suppose I was to translate a popular LGPL'd JAVA project (LibreOffice, for instance) into C# or VB.NET. The LGPL restrictions would still apply to my derivative work, so I couldn't release my translation under a BSD license nor could I just release compiled binaries. I have to continue to respect the original license.
What we see here on slashdot, judging by the comments, is that its supposed to make a difference if the original license was mainly prohibitive (commercial movie) instead of mainly permissive ("open" source code.)
I would argue that in both cases the license should not carry forward, which is a consistent stance to have, but thats not how the law currently works. I observe that most people are not consistent.
Usually how this works is that the harming party is forced to set up a large fund from which the harmed parties may make claims. For example, when Intel was convicted of monopolistic and deceptive business practices, one of the things they had to do was set up a fund to reimburse people who purchased certain versions of their development suite that contained certain versions of ICC (their C compiler) that underhandedly crippled performance when compiled code ran on AMD processors. This fund hits sunset sometime this year (might already have, but I'm not sure and dont care to look.)
your facts are the problem, in that they arent factual.
The publishers ADMITTED to colluding. Period and full stop on the "fact" you claim exist that the publishers werent colluding. They were, and we know because they admitted it.
GPU caches are designed to maximize bandwidth.
CPU caches are designed to minimize latency.
These two goals are at odds with each other.
It is no surprise that there is a market for GPU's. I think the surprise was that 3dfx could offer much-better-than-using-the-cpu performance so cheaply.
Ah yes, and when the American libertarians tell you that you are wrong about them, you just keep repeating this same shit.
You are wrong about American libertarians, and have been told so repeatedly. Hasn't stopped you from continuing to mis-characterize them, because you keep listening to the liberals who want so desperately for you to think that the libertarians arent actually the ones with the values that match yours.
Medicare will only lead to "national bankruptcy" if there is insufficient revenue to cover it.
Thank you mister obvious.. where are you going to get that revenue?
However, I expect you to argue that taxing the rich kills puppies.
Did you verify your assumption that the rich can cover the shortfall, even if you have to take 100% of their money to do it?
The numbers dont add up, chief. The rich dont have enough money to pay for the coming shortfall, and thats the shortfall projected by the Congressional Budget Office, not the Heritage Foundation.
You stopped thinking as soon as "tax the rich" was a solution on the table. You didn't bother to check if it actually solved the problem.
Abrash told them that AR wasnt ready for prime time, but that VR (always his favorite thing) was ready. He is probably right, however technology is advancing at an ever faster rate. Google seems to think AR is worth investing in, after all.
[...] assembling and selling computers. When she and her partner later had a disagreement, Ellsworth opened a separate business in competition.
I have notice how you have failed to quote the part about how that separate competing business that she started turned out to be quite successful. So it was her partners fault, after all.
[...] she moved to Walla Walla, Washington and attended Walla Walla College, studying circuit design for about a year. She dropped out due to a "cultural mismatch"; Ellsworth said that questioning professors' answers was frowned upon.
I have noticed how you have failed to quote the part about her being a success prior to attending this college, or how much bigger of a success she became after leaving college.
This is a girl that forges ahead to success, not a failure like you claim. Starting to think that you are that original business partner. A person that completely missed the boat, and it was your own fault.
And the Wikipedia page you link to clarifies that this "cry baby", "I'm a victim!" attitude of hers is not new. Apparently she didn't fit into formal education, either, because "questioning professors' answers was frowned upon".
We are talking about a person who was a success well before trying formal education. She clearly wasnt there to get the degree. She was clearly there to learn.
If "questioning the professors" is frowned upon, it is almost certainly because the professors are wrong, and at that point why keep going if you are there to learn instead of get the degree?
The NSA and CIA have nothing to do with the military.
I'm not sure about the CIA, but the NSA is most certainly a sub-branch of the Department of Defense, just like the Army, Navy,...
Anyways I dont see how his claim that the military will always expand its power holds water. The military is at the mercy of the executive branch with regards to policy and the legislative branch with regards to funding.
The phrase "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" is quite apt.
Either Obama maintained the Bush policies, or he expanded on them. If he expanded on them, then thats not the same as the old boss.
Even if one were to be of the position that many of the Bush policies were good, there is such a thing as "too much of a good thing" and even if one were to be of the position that many of the Bush policies were bad, there is such a thing as "not enough to matter" as well.
Bush never went after whistle-blowers as much as Obama has done, and he never wiretapped the press in order to try to find leaks in his administration. This is an entirely new paradigm where things once held sacred, like a free press, are no longer respected. A paradigm where both the IRS and the Justice department are used as a weapon against the political enemies of the administration. Not the same as the old boss at all.
Oh come on now, if you are going to examine things on a City-by-City basis you dont get to just stop at who the Mayor is. A blue City is going to have a blue City Council no matter how you look at it, and so forth, and most large Cities are very blue.
You mention Detroit, which might as well be a case study of the complex interaction between overly large and powerful unions, irresponsible fiscal policy, unfriendly business climate, and pandering to a larger and larger ratio of poor people as the middle class head for the hills. Even several of these together isnt likely to so completely destroy a city like Detroit was destroyed, but when you combine them all you get Detroit and its quite predictably so.
For the record, I am a member of the largest Detroit union, the UAW.
You need to keep tax revenue coming in, but that isnt sustainable when your only tool to deal with shortfalls happens to be raising taxes again. People need to want to be there, but that isnt sustainable when your only tool to deal with an exodus is increasing public assistance some more. People need to have a voice, but that isn't the case when the unions shout 1000 decibels louder than you ever could.
"But the Democrats that forced the through the ACA legislation arent real Democrats.. in fact, they are actually Republicans!"
I realize that it saddens you that the party that you imagined the Democrats to be just didnt fit with reality once they controlled the entire government, but that doesnt make them non-democrats. Thats makes YOU a non-democrat.
The Libertarians have been waiting for you to wake up. Seems that you are close.
She got paid, got to do what she wanted, didn't get enough resources because the rest didn't believe in it and she couldn't convince them
My observation is that they believed in it enough to hire Michael Abrash, who is working on the very thing that she was working on.
Looks to me like a possible "old boys club" mentality is going on there, with Abrash being accepted into it because Newell had worked with him before (at Microsoft) and had been trying to get him to join Valve since forever. This isnt to knock Abrash because that man knows his shit, but maybe Ellsworth was considered competition to what Abrash was doing and as such "had to go."

These sensors, being rotational sensors, dont show that information.
which sensors are right?

So, what's the problem then?

If the US has it as a national park, the others will likely be polite enough to avoid trashing it.
How naive...
This is how America falls... via people so disconnected from reality..

Of the $2.74 million spent, close to $1.5 million was on contractors.
So instead of me getting paid a boatload of money, its my wifes brother?
Let me ask his question again: "Where do I sign up?"
You do realize that in the US "Invasion of Privacy" is perfectly legal as long as the invaders aren't the government?
You dont seem to understand his point, or even really what he said.
Lawsuits have nothing to do with legality, and the cost of lawsuits arent affected by outcome.
What was happening in April?

Please explain how wanting an open and transparent market is being a thief.
You didnt ask for an Open market. You asked for a Well Regulated market. An Open market allows A to trade with B without going through C.

Unless the hardware manufacturer won't let you.
Isn't this argument essentially fear, doubt, and uncertainty?
See, Democrats are already blaming the ACA on Republicans even though it was the Democrats who passed it without Republican help.
