If you know it's not clean and it's FOSS you can pretty much remove the parts you don't want and its clean again. Unless I'm missing something here and you some how aren't getting access to the source code...
I never said anything opposite. The fact of the matter is that the official stats has the gap at far more than "a few" tenths of a percent. You can't both make a claim that there is such a small gap between their usage stats and then blast my post claiming that there is no way we can get reliable stats.
Safari is probably a few tenths of a percentage point ahead of Opera, but both of their market shares are pretty insignificant compared to the top two.
I didn't realize that 59 tenths a percentage point was "a few".

He was convicted based on that. As the person quoted:
Candice, still convinced that her reminiscences were true, hired Larry O'Brien, a private detective, to investigate the case. He broke into Schneeberger's car and obtained another DNA sample, which, this time, matched the semen on victim's panties and pants. As a result, a third official test was organized. The obtained blood sample was, however, found to be too small and of too poor quality to be useful for analysis.
So it wasn't useful for any analysis. On the other hand the reason he was convicted was because of this other portion the person's post:
In 1997, Lisa Schneeberger found out that her husband had repeatedly drugged and raped her 15-year-old daughter from her first marriage. She reported him to the police, which ordered a fourth DNA test. This time, multiple samples were taken: blood, mouth swab, and hair follicle. All three matched the rapist's semen.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that the only thing that makes the Apple Public License incompatible to the GPL is the fact, that you have to redistribute modified code under the Apple Public License and not the GPL.
You are wrong. If that were the case three-clause BSD code would be incompatible with the GPL as you have to redistribute modified code under the same BSD license and not the GPL.
Competent computer guys aren't nearly as common as your post would indicate, and if you have a good one, it's well worth keeping him around.
Not if they pull shit like what is being told of them to do. I've seen people with 10-15+ years of experience be dropped immediately because they tried to pull a similar act.
if there's already someone there, and the position is justified and working well, why change things?
Why change things when a dime-a-dozen IT monkey acts like some irreplaceable prima donna? Probably because managers don't want to put up with such bullshit.
The trick is making sure the position is justified, as the original poster is trying to do.
I understand. That's why the person shouldn't follow the shitty advice given or else some other IT monkey is going to take his place and, as usually happens, they will do it for less.
Sure, but if the person asking the question were to follow that advice he'd be out of a job in short order. I'm pretty sure he would want to keep his job, no?
The whole point is either keep me around or see how much you suffer. The meaning is the same. But hey, if the idiot doesn't want to keep his job for much longer, please do follow the advice. I'm sure being unhireable for some time afterwards due to a shitty reputation was worth showing your boss up!
Yeah, because it's so hard to replace IT people. The guy would be fired in a few days and replaced by another IT monkey that can do his job and most likely for less pay. There are few ways faster to get yourself fired then to do stupid shit like you're advising. Plus I doubt he's going to like such a reputation following him around for subsequent interviews that he was abandoning his job in order to make a point.
If, however the boss balks at 2 weeks without IT support, you are vital.
Or they just let you know when you come back that you are being let go and replaced by someone else who was around to do work for them. Ultimatum stuff like you're advising the person to do never works like people think.
Wow you must work in the only software company on earth where every single requirement can be had up front before any coding is done. Those of us in the real world, though, realize that such a thing is never possible.
So when they are the only game in town who else are you going to buy from?
And they will learn from your consumer power. There are usually other companies that aren't doing this within many people's ranges...
Actually there are usually NOT other companies to choose from. It's usually either dialup or some shitty DSL or Cable provider (if there are any alternate providers they are usually just using leased infrastructure from the local monopoly company).
Under your system any and all potential whistleblowers would never come out ever again because of the retribution they would receive as they were no longer being protected against the actions of their superior. Great system, dude.
Since you apparently are too daft to read the summary to see they are only claiming copyright of the schedule itself, not any program summaries etc, I'll just let you keep rambling on and on and think you've won something.

Well of course it's not new, they are a well-known supporter and user of Linux.
The hand that feeds them is the British public. What exactly is the government going to hold over them?
The authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce and in fullfilling those duties the FCC was created. That was hard.
So the government is able to stop people from modifying and recompiling the source files? Wow that's pretty amazing power.
You don't know much about ssl tunneling do you? People in China do it all the time to bypass the filters.

Sure, if you live in some remote rural area that might be true. IT monkeys are a dime a dozen in almost any other place.
Not having an internal IT department is not the same as saying you have no use for technology.
Yep, so priceless that they will fire you and replace you with someone who will do the same work for less. Enjoy that unemployment line!
