Occupy wall street was a protest against the rich in the little country known as USA.
A typical muslim country is it ? Not really.
Well, it's at least a land full of religious conservatives who don't drink tea but rather push it into the river. There are many people who read and think too much about ancient obsolete books and think they have all the answers.
Knowing which is the oldest object in the world is like doing archaeology.
Looking at old objects we humans can determine more about how the world looked like when the object was created. The materials that was used. The way the object was formed.
It's important information that helps give a greater understanding of our universe and how it was created and the condition that then existed.
Yes, of course its trivial to block. Many already does that.
The name of the domain makes it easy to just block all content from just that domain. Doesnt matter if they call it ad.name.com or partners.name.com or media.name.com or whatever.name.com
If its all ads from one of the "legit" subdomains, its easy to block just that domain.
If that is hidden behind a URL scheme with www.name.com/ads/ (or/media//partners/whatever/ ) its easy to block.
If ads is added bya specific script file that all webpages include - just block that script file.
Blocking ads speed up the browsing. If you never intend to buy from internet-ads anyway and instead always use consumer compare sites for selecting which product to buy - who needs ads anyway ?
Its a very sad state in the world that any article - even those who not even talk about global warmning - get dragged into that flame war by the deniers.
The fact that 25% of jobs are claimed to be dependent on IP does not mean that those job will get lost if no IP existed. There is alot to suggest that most of those jobs would still be in demand even if IP does not exists. Because someone need to program that software. someone need to write that music and someone need to write that book.
The business would change yes - but there still would be a demand for the products so how much loss in jobs would one see if all IP was no longer enforaceble ? And how many new business oppurtunies and new jobs would we not see if IP was abandoned ?
Removing IP can lead to a world with even more jobs available then before.
Given the fact that the gain will reach 0 one day. Its built in that it will happen. That day the bitcoins will slowly get eroded away and lost in the big bucket in the sky.
In the end most bitcoins will mostly be nothings - lost bitcoins that will never be recoverable and the total worth of the bitcoin market will be highly exaggerated without anyone knowing if they still exists or are lost.
The scammers behind it has just moved from country to country and when done in one they moved on to the next. When gone through all the worlds countries they are back in the same old countries again.
So its still ongoing - they have never stopped. The fact that not Interpol has managed to stop them is a sure sign of the fact that the police is nearly incapable of stopping common criminals who operate out of other countries.
The fact that open source projects accept code from others don't mean that anyone can enter code into a project. New code is checked by a maintainer before being added to the project to make sure its dont suck like closed source code often does.
Most of the old bugs are not in open sourced projekt. Most of the open source projects find that security problems is in new code.
The smart people like me are slow to change to new code unless they have to because of security reasons. Doing that other have time to find any bugs and straighten them out before we use the new code.
Its a win win from a security standpoint to use open source. If you want - you can always do your own code review if you think something fishy is going on.
Since Microsoft bought out a big chunk of B&N from Nook to prevent B&N from destroying their "Linux" patents in a patent trial I presume this will be the new WP based Nook.
Thus who cares ? I don't, this just looks like another slashadvert for Microsoft in the making.
Well, there are calculations saying that the cost is about 2% of global GPD to fix it. Thats a small sacrifies as I see it.
The cost to global GDP to not fix it - its higher...
Its like fixing a house - either you fix the roof or you let it rain in. It you let it rain in; sooner or later your whole house need to be rebuilt from scratch because its rotten from the inside.

"Go To Statement Considered Harmful" was a text written 45 years ago.
Still many who think they are programmers uses goto today.
They should have learned by now.
Sadly some bad book teach people to use goto.

It's warm and feels good to let it flow.
But after a while you realize that in the end you will stink and be dirty.
Don't do it!

It's still there ? Hm, some might say that.
But thats only if you count the current USA as a civilization. ;)
As long as the old junk is better then the new junk. They continue to use it.
when did this site become the new site for Microsoft uninteresting press releases about their so-called successes ?

Actually the reverse is probably more true.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Bubblesort is a very easy algorithm to implement... and works well for a few entries.
Hominin a subtribe of homonids
Homonids is great apes thus humans gorillas chimpanzea orangutans
Homonin are all those related closer to humans than chimpanzees thus neantherthals etc
Well the cave could technically be in an mountain. Over ground level and inside the mountain thus making it a mountain cave.

Just upgrade to Linux Mint or some other Linux distribution. It should world on old hardware.
The correct answer are:
It's the new and improved version, they changed the name.
If you are right and comments are bad.
It's time to shut down slashdot.

or maybe just one word to many - remove "No"
Its definitly a joke. Its a very typical Linus joke.
As everyone know the US goverment has created laws that forbid anyone to publicly admit that they inserted backdoors into the code.
Sadly the slashdot editors aint too knowledgeable today so they actually accepted this so called "news" story.

Not at all, revenue has nothing to do with what you should pay for a patent. Turn-over is the more important figure.
5% is usually the opening bid fÃr non-standard patents so 2.5% fÃr a FRAND patent is reasonable.
Whats unreasonable is that Microsoft did not even give an counter offer.
The remaining parts is useless for Microsoft. So no need to buy them.
It was the devices Microsoft wanted all along.
