Delve not into the editing of ROTK lest a similar fate await you.
To be fair the PBS scheduling does lack transparency and could be seen as favouring some companies over others (as some pharma companies have former employees on the existing body).
Publishing reasons for deicions and having a review board does seem fair.
Of course when dealing with manipulative bastards like giant maultinationals armed with legions of lawyers there's an argument for not letting them muck with the inner workings of your decision making process.
similarly as an Australian who follows the issue I'll admit our quarantine has been used as a trade barrier.
Having said that the bastardry of the american political economy to outsiders is breathtaking to behold.
I deal with a huge variety of word docs every day and any dev team that asks i can send the ones that barf, but I'm yet to have any of them take up my offer.
They're a nation because they wanted to be, what are you, some kind of nation nazi?
Now they're thinking about changing their mind, no business of the rest of us.
The South Pacific is full of tiny nations operating largely under the umbrella of Australia and New Zealand, and to, a lesser extent colonial France (yes still around) and the USA in parts.
When you're 400 nautical miles from the nearest other people you tend to get ideas of nationhood.
As if Bush would invade Canada, they're all pro-abortion pro-gun-control, pro-public-health Demcorat weenies!
He'd have to let them vote one day!
(actually this is almost exactly the argument British diplomats used on Southern Senators in the late 1860's to persuade them to block moves to seize canada - "Do you really want millions mroe northeners in the union?")
but also they turn their own organisation into a troubleshooting database creation shop.
If they document the process well (anyone want tobet they won't) then they can save a lot of their own time (which = money) doing similar rollouts for other people.
External organisations won't let them gather the same grade dtata on a systematic basis.
Plus it must be tough to sell an organsiation on a linux desktop rollout when they see your own desktop is still windows.
strangest of all being that Walmart would be paying it's staff more if not for the cheap electronics. (as opposed to loss leader sales in general)
mom and pop electronics stores that only sell commodity items shouldn't overly concern anyone but themselves.
I got a DVD player free just last week.
It was thrown in with a 5.1 receiver unit and speakers which, on the other hand, cost me $1,500.
Hurrah for commoditisation!
The speakers were hand made by skilled people in Sydney, Australia being paid real money (as an australian that's buying locally) the totally reproducable DVD player was made by those willing to do it.
these are good times, maybe the best of times.
but we're going to have to do work others can't if we don't want to be at the bottom of the food chain, no more free rides.
For the record the sound is simply incredible, the speakers were worth every penny.

newspeak, Orwell, 1984.
I thought he was being pretty funny with that useage.
I think you mean Galactus
servers tend not to do as many weird things.
standard scsi, standard ethernet, video.
you can normally run a stock debian on em without compiling strange modules..
laptops on the other hand...

for debian you need 4 floppies and decent internet.
who pisses around with CD's??
So how good are the word import filters?
I deal with a huge variety of word docs every day and any dev team that asks i can send the ones that barf, but I'm yet to have any of them take up my offer.
the point is that linux is a product of the GPL and free software, not a cause.
so we're talking about fashionability now?
"Linux and the Open Source/GPL movement wasn't around when Linux came to be"
Linux fitted into the pre-existing GNU framework which was (and is) most definitely GPL and predated it by many years.
"The titanium used to coat these blades is the same as the titanium used to build the space station.
Well that would explain the leaks.
Giving them aid beats them selling their sovereignty to the taiwanese or the russian mafia.

licensing cost saving,

unless they keep repressurising?
In any event they really need to find it fast.
Perhaps a material science expert could comment but my experience of this sort of leak is that it tends to force a bigger hole as it goes.
I'd be worried about it hitting a tipping point and really getting nasty fast.
Carts before horses even.. whoops.
The article made some strange assumptions.

ICQ did a good job of cutting out the spam they had on their network a few years ago.
But 350 messages a day compared to the 10 or so messages you actually want (my numbers) is far better than what comes in through my *(snail)mailbox
yeah cool, boosters all the way down the wire like ribbons on the tail of a proper kite...
When we goto the beach
And when you want to take pictures anywhere but the beach you won't have the kind of wind to support a 25lb kite with 200 feet of steel cable.
on the other hand if you are using steel cable anyway (what the hell do you do if it starts to storm, cut the rig?) then shoot, run a signal down it.
if you can find a wire with a 25lb breaking strength I suppose you could.
cost of the wire might run to more than the wireless kit though.
and it would still be much heavier with a worse breaking strain than dedicated kite string.
hmmm, I dunno what sort of wind you have around where you live, but most of my long line kite flying the string becomes a major weight component.
you're already carrying a deadweight of camera and now you want to add kilo's of wire?
Quite tricky tensioning to prevent the wire becoming load-bearing at any point I imagine as well.
Wireless could be interesting, you should have quality LOS.
in a parliamentary democracy the "government" is the group who command the majority in the paarliament.
when they talk about "stable government" they mean a sable parlimentary majority.
but I'll grant thats not a universal definition.
as for agricultural surplus, if people are hungry everything else goes to hell.
it's the foundation of all civilisation, we just take it for granted these days.
