yes, and to repeat the message, you also add - land mass used to grow soy beans to make those livestock grow fast, (amazon...) - methan gases, - phosphate (specially for pork), - CO2 in transportation of everything above, - shame in killing fellow mammals (come on, we only diverged ~50M years ago, they're cousins)
Probably that. And Putin's support of Assad with his and his father's 100.000s+ political kills. Or Ukraine meddling...but not too worry, real-politik is coming back.
I was part of that company. Talk about being too early...data charges for playing were ranging in the hundreds of dollars for the most active players. http://links.net/share/write/thefeature/Mogi__Second_Generation_Location-Based_Gaming.html
Not directly meaningful, but I follow closely foreign countries' leaders ' declarations in china. And, For all his big mouthing my dear president mr chirac never publicly mentionned political prisoners and freedom of press as Mr bush did. It's not pleasant to praise bush but sometimes i have to...
Well, maybe it wasn't like this 20 years ago because 95% of PCs weren't Microsoft software. Because computers weren't such a crucial part of mankind.
here is my analogy:
During critical crisis doubts, fair views, curiosity have to be put aside for a while by the community to change the trend. Few liked the propaganda taking place in the states during the war, but a nation walking together was needed to recover equilibrium.
Well, if you think like I do that software is a major part of mankind and you think it is wrong that so many use software coming from the same place you see this possible uniformisation of geeks as a necessary evil to brink back balance.
I bet that as soon as Microsoft start really losing ground on the desktop, slips below 80%, the community won't be one sided anymore. The rend will have been upset, uniformisation much less necessary.
There is urgency !
And yes I think Microsoft is the key of the article, his other example are much less convincing. It IS Microsoft against open-source.
To conclude I evoque a bood by vernor vinge taking place thousands of years in the future, where we see progammers manipulating blocks, libraries, evolved, polished, built on top of others which were built on top etc... Well this vision sounds true, it looks like the building of languages, and the open source fits that vision, Microsoft doesn't.
>Don't give me the old "competition" argument either. >There is only one Linux kernel, which seems to progress just fine without another competing project nipping at its feet and instigating flamewars.
And how exactly can you say the kernel wouldn't have progressed faster with competition ? If you lack any comparison element how can you tell ?
And in the long run...See yourself in 10 years; you have this incredible feature to integrate in a desktop. But badluck, at this time the comitty steering the UNIFIED DESKTOP doesn't deem your idea interesting (always remember that very bright people can fail to see - planck's idea took a long time to get through, and he was talking with the best crop of physicist of his time). Well, if there's a second project...you have 100% more chances to get your idea through. And both might consider your idea a bit more, being cautious that they could lose it to the other side, just in case.
Or you don't have that second destop solution: maybe you'll fork the UNIFIED one yourself, thus ten years later proving yourself wrong.:))
Na, I think it's better with competition. Safer on the long run.
Where I can't swim too far from the shore, where I first have to scuba dive in a swimming pool, where I can't drive faster than what ? no speed ? Where I need to be 21 to drink ?
Now the question I guess is why am I infering from the Post that it's a condescending way of calling other european coutries here ?
Maybe an inferiority complex...
Welcome to the country of free speech that law freaks have shaped out:
only lawyers can speak.
Honesty almost becomes a sin when you're aware that everybody's waiting to sue you.
Sure boosts spontaneous communication...i.e. free speech.
Bravo !
hey, for once that you guys feel like using one of our french expressions might as well use correct spelling, or you're risking to 'look' a bit nouveau riche yourself using this snobish french expression... Being french, I say without irony, that I find it quite appropriate that you picked up an expression that reflects our depressing awareness of social backgrounds and our contempt toward monetary success. So, after me, one NOUVEAU RICHE some NOUVEAUX RICHES.
just a tiny little remark. Mp3 have not just uncovered new names. They've made available live shows on a new scale. Many SIGNED bands have their live shows circulate on the net thru their fan base recording and encoding them. For a music lover it's a benediction. But escpecially becoz they're signed artists those shows have a piracy status. Now, I see this as a culturally rich use of.mp3 yet, it's illegal. It's not like there's anything close to that availability on the regular cd market. For some reason, even in the jazz genre, u'd be lucky to get 1 live of a given artist every 2-3 year in the stores when he'd actually play 50-100 gigs a year...

Ego. Desire to give life meaning through achievements. Sense of Responsibility to have received money (and mounting feeling to have 'wasted it').
Add to this, winter cold is a great disinfectant. Bacterias die in coldness but thrive in warm weather.
