I'm pretty sure pro civil-liberties and Obama went opposite directions when he started talking about mandating what temperature I keep my house, how much food I can eat, or how much gas I can buy.
You could say wealth & resources are available to anyone who works hard enoughYou could say that, but you'd be wrong.But the amount of wealth available to someone who works hard in the Congo is quite different from the wealth available to someone who works hard in the UK.In the UK, as in most countries, the amount of wealth a person has is generally inversely proportional to how hard they've worked for it. The richest people are mostly the ones who inherited it and didn't work for it at all.Intellectual "property" is rapidly reaching the same state. Consider the notorious copyright on the century-old "Happy Birthday" song. It is currently owned by Warner Chappell, and you'd be hard pressed to show that the officers of that corporation have ever done anything that qualifies as "work" to realize the several million dollars in royalties that it brings them each year. OTOH, the Hill sisters that wrote the song never received any income from it at all, but as elementary-school teachers, they worked rather hard their whole lives (and produced the song as part of their job).This is typical of how Intellectual Property actually works. The actual creators rarely realize any significant income from their creators; the income generally goes to the owners of corporations that control the mass-production and distribution channels. This control generally comes not from any sort of hard work, but rather from financial and political power that makes it possible for them to exclude competition.
And of course there's always Xanadu.... Another example would be Lotus Notes, which was/is sort of a network-based HyperCardish thing. It probably did not have a lot of direct influence on the academic thinking, but it was widely deployed because it was the
Personally, I think it would be damned cool if they found an indisputable fossil. It would force a whole lot of philosophical re-thinking, and probably give a huge-assed push towards getting humans into space (well, those who don't suddenly get scared silly and decide to crawl into a cave, hoping the aliens pass us by or somesuch).
But then... what if they do find evidence of life? I mean large, complex forms of life, not some fossilized bacteria that everyone will debate and ***** about. That's what I'm hoping they dig up./P
Actually Greek originally DID have an H letter, and it sometimes was an H and other times an ETA, depending on the dialect. By the time the Koine dialect had become the lingua franca of the classical word however it was replaced by the daseia .

You open-source a protocol by providing a specification with no attached IP rights, such as patents covering the protocol. A reference implementation kind of helps, too.
Actually, they were the second ark. The first ark was the intellectuals, the third ark was the workers. The second ark was the useless third of their population.
Money can be a strong incentive, but it can also cause trouble in open source project, as Debians "Dunc Tank" [dunc-tank.org] project showed.Therefore I'd advise only to donate to projects that already accept donations, and clearly show that on their homepage. Otherwise your well-meant action might actually stir greed and envy, and thus could be counter-productive.
As someone who has worked around and at several very large data centers including those who hosted servers for ebay, google, accenture, ford, honda, etc, I would suggest that it is very likely that the "rest" have a very good understanding of how much powe

There IS a story, but the gameplay is not story-driven. You can basically test this like so: ignore all of the story scenes and check if you know what to do next regardless. If you do, the gameplay isn't story-driven in the sense that I used the term. An e
Agreed. And moderation doesn't necessarily have to mean deleting posts. As a FidoNet echo moderator many years ago, 90% of what I had to do was to tell users to cool off or they were gonna get banned. Only nodes that were deliberately sending spam (or refused to listen to the moderator) got banned. It wasn't like we could really delete messages anyhow (there was no equivalent of UseNet's 'cancel'), but my moderation for local boards (where I did have the power to delete) was basically the same.I only ever deleted a very small number of posts, most at the request of the original posters.
I'd require a lobotomy before I could enjoy American Gladiator, but I never miss an episode of Medium. The episodes of Medium which I watch are worse quality than most other shows. It really lookslike a recode from ripped streams. I think some people aren't
Honestly, if you're at the point in a relationship where you're spying on each other, it's time to just throw in the towel and find a partner you can trust.

Like, I said, it's HIGHLY configurable. Multiple glossiness levels going from none to way too damn much. The dependencies it needed were probably QT/GTK themselves. If you install the theme before any QT programs, for example, it'll pull in QT as well a

Just link goatse like a normal troll. That vent clearly belongs to a Sony executive, and is thus filled with hot air with which said being can speak.

There are outfits which will rebuild your old battery for around $50. I had mine done about a year ago.
