Thank you. None of the torrent sites has ever offered me a nickel to click a link - or induced me to click a link. I don't build up points by clicking links, which might be tradeable for some inducement. I don't get a score to post for competitors to see. There IS NO INDUCEMENT ON THE PART OF A TORRENT SITE. Period.
We are a nation that elected a president who couldn't define sex. Of course we are incapable of defining inducement. At least one person has posted the obvious. Some of the rest of slashdot would do well to refer to Webster's, or Oxford, or any of a number of other dictionaries.
A court ruling is a government action. No matter that the suit was filed by and for a corporation. No matter that the judge has a poor (if any) understanding of the case. No matter even if the judge was bought off. It remains a government action. Today, we have a corrupt government that caters to the corporations.
Unemployment hasn't been around 3 or 4 percent since about - 1960? If then.
Go to shadowstats.com to begin your education. Every time unemployment "officially" approaches 10% the government "fixes" the numbers and/or the method they use to calculate those numbers.
Today, unemployment in the United States has topped 20%
There's no need to believe me, though. Go to shadowstats.com and look for yourself. Refute their numbers IF YOU CAN.
We see that in real life, all around us. A brother in law finally died after decades of being drunk. He was only sober on a very rare occasion. Abusing that liver finally paid off though. They didn't even consider giving him another liver, because he would have pickled the new one in short order. Ehhh.
Maybe not, though. Novell is not really representative of the entire Linux and/or FOSS community. Your first comment is right - most of the community will work around and obsolete MS' work. It won't matter much that Novell provides an island for MS to piddle around on. In fact - MS' piddling may scare off some of Novell's best developers. Only time can tell - I'm just seeing possibilities here, not predicting.
"You'd be a fool to make avoiding the GPL some sort of mandate."
Well - there is no shortage of fools in the world. Off topic, but look at Houston. Little more than 1 in 10 voters bothered to vote. Apparently there were no issues that anyone cared enough to vote about, that either candidate bothered to address. Utter apathy, really. But - the winner has this supposed "mandate" to do all kinds of stuff. Among other things, she's gay, so she has a mandate to make Houston gay. Yeah, I know - I already mentioned that I'm off topic. But, fools and mandates go together.
You don't read much of English, do you? Americans actually speak an outdated English. Our English is much more like England spoke back in the days of the Puritans, than English people speak.
Whatever - does it really freaking MATTER??? If I can get a pint of ale, a meat pie, and the attention of the pretty red haired lass in the corner, I'm happy. Who cares how she sounds? I just want to play in her hair, alright with you?
Ho-hum. This sounds like a microsoft fanboy, munching away on his sour grapes.
Let me ask - when was the last time Google charged you $100 bucks or more for using something of theirs? Or, if you are in enterprise, when was the last time Google had you count heads, and send them $50, $75, or maybe even $1000 per head? (or seat, whatever)
So far, Google has never charged me a single cent. Nada. Zip. Zilch. My total cost for doing business with Google is $0.00US. Meanwhile, Microsoft dipped into my wallet for $100 or more about 7 or 8 times. That was before I got smart enough to pirate their systems. And, well before I got smart enough to switch to Linux.
I hear you saying, "But, wait - Google is making money off of you through ADVERTISING and" yada yada yada
Cool. You have something of a legitimate complaint. Google is a bit greedy, and they are making pennies and nickles off of my browsing. BING!!! BING!!! BING!!!
That binging noise? Don't pay it any mind. It's just Microsoft trying to make pennies and nickles off of you - AFTER they raped you for a system or two that didn't work (WinME and Vista) then forced you to pay up AGAIN for a system that DID work.
So - who is the Big Evil?
Whatever. I don't like everything about Google. You won't find me singing their praises on the street corner, and I won't believe, or try to convince you, that Google is the best thing since my generation created sex. But, please. Google ain't the evil some of the fanboys try to paint it to be.
Those of you who don't like Google should just stop paying them. Seriously. Don't use their search, don't use their software, don't use anything of Google's. That'll teach them. I mean, it's not like Google has an actual monopoly on anything. Just stop using them.
And, I'll take my own advice. I'll vote with my feet. I'm off to google some new porn . . . Later!!

Think about it for a bit, though. The most screwed up law ever put on the books can probably be shown to have done SOME GOOD, SOMEWHERE, at least once.
The best law ever written can be horribly mangled by a dipstick of a prosecutor, or any lawyer, and ultimately subverted to persecute a target group of people.
Arthur C. Clarke may have been served well by UK libel law - but every freaking MONTH we read about some jerkoff putting an honest person through the wringer with it. It's crazy. For one thing, no provable, factual statement should EVER be considered libel. To an American, "libel" is synonymous with "false representation".
Face it - if you (or some female relative) is a known prostitute, especially with a long list of convictions related to prostitution, and I should tell people that you are a whore, there should be NO PENALTY for doing so. Stating a fact should NEVER be a crime, nor should it be a civil matter.
He certainly didn't run on any conservative or republican ticket. What kinda revisionist history are you trying to pull here? Bill Clinton is a democrat, and the democrats endorsed him, wholeheartedly, just as they endorse that skanky witch he's married to.
Wait - you've forgotten Bill Clinton and NAFTA? That sumbitch poured US jobs and US money into Mexico. Poured, hell, he pumped it into Mexico. Alaska has it's oil pipeline, Mexico has it's money pipeline.
Oh yeah - China, and "Most Favored Trading Partner" status.
Republicans are low life sumbitches who don't give a damn about voters or taxpayers, true - but they don't have any exclusivity agreement with the devil.
Nope. The health reform adverts run by republicans on my local TV stations are stupid and revolting. Those run by democrats are - ahem - uhh - well -
Crap. I hate to say anything good about either party, but the democrats run intelligent, well targeted advertisements, many of which contain a little bit of fact, in addition to hyperbole.
The first lowlife who started running at the mouth about those government death panels should have been laughed out of Washington. Remember, this is the same party whose Representative in Chief told the elderly that they would just have to tighten their belts. There was no money for increased Medicaid, but there was plenty of money for Iraq.
I can tell you that there are precious few people on this planet whose worth is more than ten times my own. And, NONE of them are freaking Hollywood stars, or rap singers, or corporate talking heads. On the rare occasion that I've met a person who really was superior to me, they invariably SERVED their fellow man. Nurses, doctors, volunteer workers - people who CARE about their fellow man, and are willing to sacrifice for them. Yes, there are people who are genuinely superior to me - but none of them will ever admit to it.
Real worth - not some score kept by the banking industry.
There's no way you can get enough mod points for that post. It just doesn't matter: Euro, US, UK, Canada, or Australia - every dick in office is on someone's payroll. The "rights holders" have money to throw around, so they can buy a LOT of those dicks. And, it goes beyond our little Euro & English Empire club - little third world nations are being bullied to fall into line.
What was it Forrest Gump said? "Crooked is as crooked does"? Alright, maybe I'm off a little bit - but it all works out the same.
I think Bing sucks basketballs through garden hoses. But, how has your service "materially" changed? Yesterday, you could browse the web, and do searches. Today, you can browse the web, and do searches.
Can you go to Google, and enter a search term? Can you set your homepage to iGoogle? Come on - you have to get more creative than this.
Oh yeah - google blackberry jailbreak. I did yesterday. Theres some moderately interesting stuff out there. I'm sure there will be more, as people get pissed at the Bing thing.;^)
Why don't I hear "jailbreak" yet? I read this yesterday - and googled around a little. Didnt' see much - but apparently, it's possible.
Some people might like Bing. I'm sure there are at least a couple hundred, worldwide, who actually CHOSE Bing. The rest of the world that DOESN'T like Bing should be googling like mad.
Jail break the damned things!!! It's YOUR phone, after all.
I've been scrolling, and scrolling, looking for a comment or reference to small blocks. Thank you, sir. Big block engines never were all they were touted to be. My kid brother and I bid on some 283's years ago - 9 engines. They lasted us for years. Those things were so old, they all had the original paper oil filters on them. Sweet machines. Beautiful in anything - a Jeep, a Nova, Camaro, or a pickup truck. You name it. Far more fuel efficient than any big block, easier to work on, and they run circles around almost any big block.
327 was another beauty, but with all those 283's, we never messed with the 327's very much.
Oh yeah - race car drivers who are serious about racing don't use big blocks anyway.
There are no studies that prove things either way, but the WHO thinks there is enough correlation to be concerned.
It's hard to take one study really seriously, when similar studies by another group of people find reason to worry.
As for me, I'll not be holding anything up my ear that emits energy. If it has speakers and microphone that I can hold at arm's length, I'll consider using it.
