Could Apple ever be considered a monopoly? They have around 25% of phones worldwide, and I believe it is around 5% of computers (from Wikipedia it looks like around 5% of desktop OSes). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U...
I didn't post anything, I made an assumption as to what it was in reply to (my company blocks the link, what was the problem). I don't post AC, I put my handle on every one of my posts.
As others said, it is your type no one wants to deal with.
I never said "the GPL is this" I said my understanding of it was X. I am no lawyer, nor do I have a couple hours to dedicate to reading a license I already know I don't break (I don't distribute, at all). I was asking a damn question and get attacked by morons like you that have nothing better to do than rage at someone that was wrong on the internet.
Um, how is that me hating on Stallman? The guy made a tasteless joke about Stallman and I poked him for not posting anonymous and suddenly I think Stallman is a terrible person?
And to respond to cHiphead, I clearly stated that it was my understanding of the GPL, I am no lawyer, nor do I deal with software licenses on a daily basis, I am a user of GPL software (as in I have a couple Linux servers at home), I am no zealot on either side, and was saying thank you to the one person who didn't use personal attacks, but I guess it is too much to ask for people to be civil in an online conversation.
So, when it was recommended previously, and they chose to waste money elsewhere, you were all cool with it?
That part of California is practically a desert, not expecting the next drought is as boneheaded as can be. I believe the reasons they gave for not building the infrastructure was that it was too expensive to maintain when not in use. How expensive is that water now? Was it worth it?
According to the comments just above yours, the Mars number is using UK Billion, not US Billion, which would put the two numbers around on par with each other (1.5 b km^3 vs 1.35 b km^3 if I did my maths right).
Exactly, California's problems are political in nature. They could have built proper infrastructure after the last drought, unfortunately, they decided that that was not a good way to spend the tax money.
So the resisting arrest, and the heart attack/asthma attack had nothing to do with his death, it was all that evil cop trying to arrest a guy for selling loosies.
Here is what they did, with Windows replacing Linux:
They downloaded Windows 8, cracked the licensing mechanism, then redistributed the software on their own hardware. When someone pointed out to them that what they did is against the law, they ignored the request to rectify the situation.
Would this be illegal? How is it different when it is a piece of GPL software?
Actually, their stuff is lightyears ahead of most of the 802.11 stuff you can buy for home use (as it is enterprise grade) while being in the same price range.
That however does not give them an excuse to violate the GPL and just ignore the terms of the agreement.
I hope they realize the error of their ways and fix the issue before they have to be sued into oblivion.
I was thinking of commenting on the copyright issues with posting the full text of the post, then got to the bottom where he actually says feel free to report my stuff:) pretty cute there.
Interesting what they are doing, it does sound much worse than what I understood from the summary. I wonder if enough attention being brought to this may help the developers in Ubiquiti to understand what they are doing to maybe fix it. I like Ubiquiti's equipment, as they make great hardware that "just works", I replaced a dual band wireless router from Netgear with one of their single band 802.11 N APs, and have been very happy with the device so far, I would hate to see the company get sued into oblivion because of stupid decisions like this.
Hopefully the issue can be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties involved.
Thank you for your polite response (unlike the three above you). I was asking a question and you answered it. I unfortunately can't bring up the link in TFS, as it is blocked by the corporate firewall, so I can't see what they did.
I don't routinely deal with GPL code beyond just use, so am unfamiliar with the inner workings of the GPL.
So, you are saying that because you don't trust those sources, the statements must be lies.
Are you that blinded by your beliefs in the infallibility of the left that you can't even read the articles and attempt to understand that these things happened?
He called the Ferguson protesters Pimps and Hoes. Would he be ok with a white person saying the same thing?
He calls white people crackers, like derogatory names are acceptable for white people, when you know he would be flipping out if someone called a black person by any of the numerous derogatory names.
He defamed a New York prosecutor, Steven Pagones, saying he was involved in the rape of Tawana Brawley, that was found overwhelmingly to be fabricated.
He called Hasidic Jews "Diamond Merchants"
Heck, the Blaze link has snippets of video/audio from actual Sharpton speeches, see for yourself.
Habitual? Do you have links to other instances? Also, how exactly are they not complying? My understanding was that compliance in this case requires that they offer up the source code for whatever they use. If they then make changes, there is no requirement to post their changes as well.
Calling someone, who waited until they were in one of the most oppressive countries in the world (China) before admitting to "whistleblowing", brave is kind of silly. Snowden is anything but brave as he hides in Russia, which is known for far worse human rights abuses than anything that Snowden spoke about.
I have not heard that conclusion previously. Do you have any information indicating the dust bowl was due to inadvertent geoengineering? I was taught in school it was a natural event. Or was it due to draining aquifers and lack of rain?
How Does the Federal Government Create a Budget? There are five key steps in the federal budget process:
The President submits a budget request to Congress The House and Senate pass budget resolutions House and Senate Appropriations subcommittees “markup” appropriations bills The House and Senate vote on appropriations bills and reconcile differences The President signs each appropriations bill and the budget becomes law
Congress can totally ignore the President's recommendations on the budget, there is nothing that says they have to use his budget. At the end, the president can either sign the budget, or ignore it, or veto it, but that isn't really input, as Obama demonstrated in the budget crises.
However, the president has no input at all into taxes except sign/veto, so he ultimately has no control over the money coming in.
So, it is good to see you linking to actual information rather than spouting off about stuff you clearly don't understand and saying how horrible those Republicans are and how mean they are for picking on the poor defenseless Democrats.

If they correct the issue after this, would you consider penciling them back in? :)
If you have better suggestions of units that act as APs and can do bridging (for the Bluray downstairs), I am all ears.
I would take one of his outdoorsy chicks over one of your ditzy blond chicks any day of the week.
Also, outdoorsy chicks tend to support themselves, rather than spending all your money like those CA chicks.
In case anyone wonders, I am continuing a joke, not being serious.

Perhaps that would be the prospect of life in prison for murder and arson, but I could be off base here.

Snowden, for all his bravery and balls of steel
Calling someone, who waited until they were in one of the most oppressive countries in the world (China) before admitting to "whistleblowing", brave is kind of silly. Snowden is anything but brave as he hides in Russia, which is known for far worse human rights abuses than anything that Snowden spoke about.
My curiosity is pairing a 486 with a GPS receiver. The GPS likely had a faster proc than a 486.
When you compare it to other tests, it is indeed quite small.

There were some smaller, but many MUCH larger.

Thank you for finally agreeing with me, it is always pleasant when someone's eyes finally open to the truth.
In case you are being sarcastic (as I am sure is the truth of it), here is how the budget process works:

How Does the Federal Government Create a Budget?
There are five key steps in the federal budget process:

Congress can totally ignore the President's recommendations on the budget, there is nothing that says they have to use his budget. At the end, the president can either sign the budget, or ignore it, or veto it, but that isn't really input, as Obama demonstrated in the budget crises.
