I can be as unbiased as it gets. Especially if both companies give me an equal-valued check. Send me sealed machines, externally similar cases, preferently ship both together (one company's courier meets the other in UPS's office, they wrap the computers in unmarked boxes). Make only one distinctive mark with a Sharpie pen in one of the cases, give me a week and I'll give you the result, posted in a website: "The marked machine performed..." "I put the unmarked machine in such and such situation and..." "Final result and conclusion: the unmarked machine wins." Someone else can open the sealed envelop and tell the world who is who. I don't care. (I get to keep both computers.)
at least, not when it concerned foreign citizens. in Chile and here in Brasil the CIA helped stage military coups (74 and 64 respectively) transforming what where democratic republics in bloody, raping/murdering dictatorships. As Deep Throat once said, "follow the money".
You can spend U.S. currency anywhere in the globe without exchange (for now at least). You can buy oil with dollars. You can buy steel with dollars. You can buy soybeans with dollars. You can buy cattle with dollars. Damn it, in Buenos Aires (Argentina) you can go to the market and pay with U.S. currency. Or you can pay ANY restaurant in any EU capital.
At least two times (Porto Seguro both times) I went thru carnival (starts friday night, ends wednesday noon) with no sleep at all. Ok, I dozed off half an hour each day, but no real sleep. Worked the thursday and friday, and then, lose the entire weekend (go to sleep friday 21:00, wake up sunday 17:00, attend mass, go to sleep again, wake up monday 7:00 to go to work again.
The good side is that it's 120h samba/axé, booze, making out, and occasionally having sex:-)
that abstinence is viable? Every person I know that is over 16 makes sex. A lot. In many cases (single people, no current steady relationship) with a different partner every week. And I live in the biggest Catholic country of the world. Now, what the Catholic Church (*) does is lobbying our government to stop free condom distribution... do you really think that without condoms all the crowd having sex will turn to abstinence? NO. They will turn to unprotected sex. (*) And George W. Bush. Do you know that we had to refuse US funding because the Bush administration demanded that all foreign recipients of AIDS assistance must explicitly condemn prostitution, thus we could not distribute condoms for free for the prostitutes in the streets? Do you think the thousands of new condom-less US$3 hookers will go out of business or they will start having unprotected sex?
There is no abstinence, really. Not for the great majority of the world's population.
The guy you know that owns nothing still can be made to pick garbage in the side of a highway for $5/hour, till he pays his debt.
If white-collar criminals become more likely to commit violence to avoid prison, wouldn't that suggest that prison is something they fear? If this is true and some become more likely to restort to violence, it follows that some will be less likely to commit crimes in the first place.
NO, this is not how deterrance works. Deterrance works when the punishment is big enough for you to consider not comitting that crime, and not big enough for you to consider that "if I will do this, I may very well to THAT too, makes no difference".
I'm not speaking with a great deal of experience here but I'd hope that someone who steal 80,000 dollars through fraud and someone who walks in to a shop and steals the same amount would receive similar punishment (assuming the shop robbery didn't involve violence).
So do I. In my perfect world, they both would have to pay $320,000 to the shop owner/defrauded person -- even if it takes the rest of their lives picking garbage all the Saturday long -- and a hefty fine to the State (to pay for the judicial system). Now, if they disobeyed this, then it's all right to throw them in jail.
Prision is not a deterrent against white-collar crime: punitive damages and fines, preferrably the type that drives one to bankruptcy, are. The possibility of passing many years in jail just makes white-collar criminals more willing to "step up" and resort to common violence to cover up their white-collar crimes.
This is not funny. Not in a million years. It's not informative, nor insightful, because the OP explicitly asked for something that "support the insertion of PDFs, images, and other documents for handwritten annotation from a tablet PC, PDA or by mouse from a PC." Let's see... it is probably a troll, and is certainly flamebait (I, for one, am hooked).
If/. was in South Korea, probably the parent post would be (1) e-mailed to YOU! so we all old folks could profit!
I say, get 12 WRT54G's at $60/piece, and a used/refurbed Cisco 2912, for about $200, load up the WRTs with OpenWRT, and you could probably do the a similar thing for about $1000. A little configuration and tweaking might be necessary though.
Yeah, a little configuration and approx. 20-50m (30-60yards) of cable:-)
"What happens to the forked version if and when the copyright holder decides to re-license their code under a more stringent license?" Nothing. The "new fork" people still have a valid license (especially if they didn't do any bad things) for the fork.
What will happen in the future is that new code laid out on the "old fork" side cannot go to the "new fork" side, but other than that, all is well.
"Is the forked version permanently grandfathered in, so that they can continue to modify the code?" Yes. Beautiful, isn't it?

I found it clear but verbose; things that are golf-able in perl take 10 lines to write in python. Perl, in general, makes things more clear to me because I can see the "big picture".
1) Ability to control nutrients that go into meat -- terrible, because expensive nutrients can be harvested (leaving a lot of people with deficiencies), as well as not-well-know-but-important nutrients can be forgotten and left out. 2) Ability to prevent salmonella poisoning from ever occurring in the general population in the far-off future -- worse, lowering overall population's immunity and effectively creating the possibility of a biological weapon. I am immune to small-pox and chicken-pox, are you?
AFAIK VmWare virtualizes the whole architecture,... when you get to the time the suspended machine state will be resumed, it already ironed out the differences. YMMV.
IIRC, the Windows encrypted filesystem keeps the key together with the data, still needing that the key passphrase is somewhat strong. There are Linux encrypted filesystems that permit you to keep your key in another media (like an USB drive or a floppy or a cd-rom).
Come on, wifi is one of the most free, unencumbered forms of communication besides talking low during a walk in an empty park. The objective here is ending this freedom. Period.

The cost that AOL pays for -- manufacturing and postage -- comes from AOL costumers.

You can adjust the virtual machine to have or not SSE3?
