It depends on your point of view. I live in a developing country (Argentina). What makes the difference between my country and our neighbours is that we have fee hospitals, free universities, and so on. Our "evil" taxes don't buy us bombs and destruction; but at least 30% of the population has a graduate degree. Our models are Sweden and Finland, because those guys are so advanced that they can call broadband connection a "right".I find it natural that anyone can get medical care. I would be shocked to see a bolivian inmigrant dying in the street.
There's something else that would be nice to discuss, I don't know its name in English. The key concept is that anyone should have equal chances in life, so it doesn't matter who your father is: what matters is your attributes and defects.
It is fair to get the fruits of your own work. But, is it fair if a $sport player earns tens of millions? That's a big question. And, if I develop an innovative way to use the net, then everyone uses it and I don't complain; is it fair to change my mind and make billions of dolars off it? I think it is not. I believe in hard work. The lawsuit industry slows the advance of technology.
as anyone can claim to be the owner, I think anyone can sue.
IANAL, but I've read many papers on the subject. The original author holds the legal copyright. He is the only one to have the right to copy the code. Then he allows other people to use this right in a limited way (this is the licence). If a second person changes the code, he owns the the changes' copytight: but the original code's copy right is still owned by the original author. So if a company misuses the modified code, both the original author and the secondary author can sue that company.
So,
a) IDK, it depends on the country and the laws.
b) the authors (a part of the money goes to the lawyers & stuff)
c) IDK, I'd believe the same person in a.
When calculating the number of bytes of "information" they add: TV, Radio, etc etc, and GAMES. Games are 54.62% of the total number of bytes (see the figure 2 in page 11). Of course, you play 30 minutes GTA 4, that's like 8 gigas of your daily average. (estimate you dont access 100% of the gameplay in 30 mins, but car physics and 3d textures add a LOT of "information". Figure 11 in page 26 shows how computer games affect the equation: they take less than 10% of the average "time" and over 50% of the average "bytes of information".
Iron Mountain cut energy consumption for cooling by between 10% and 15% compared with the company's traditional data centers
For now, Iron Mountain uses the lake water.... the 50-degree water could eventually be circulated to the data center and back to the lake to naturally expel heat.... "We'd like to get to the point where we expend no energy for cooling," Doughty explained
The company also said it would permanently disable Google AdWords accounts that provide a "poor or harmful" user experience whether or not they use Google's trademark illegally.

Your post made me question myself, now that Facebook claims 350M users, is it really 350M people?
It would be very difficult to make accurate statistics if puppets are not taken into account.

Now, back on topic, I believe the downgraded netbook version of Windows 7 may be excessively downgraded, so Linux is not percieved as a bad alternative by average people.
I think it's impossible to enforce that ban. Children can benefit from the internet, because it has learning materials, games, videos, etc. The potential danger is undeniable, but a massive prohibition is not the way to protect them. There have been teachers who abused their students, and children still go to school. IMHO the overall damage of banning the internet altogether is so big that it just won't happen.
Ok, thanks for the flame. I'd rather say it has roughly the same ammount female and male players, which is not common for *most* pc games. "To date, men still outnumber female players" in WoW.

Hi I'm a guy from Argentina, a country in South America. This entry is an EPIC fail, a biblical fail. Please!
Our country is a "melting pot", so we have some tv channels in french, protuguese, italian, english, german; and many us channels are either translated or subtiteled.
I am absolutely sure I've already seen this aircraft on "The History Channel". I dont know if in the US it has the same disgusting ammount of propaganda it has here. They're pushing the borders of cultural imperialism and everything they broadcast is designed to show us the "greatness" of "our nation" (they not even say United States).
They have many military documentaries, showing how "advanced" they are in killing and destroying, etc. Unpiloted aircafts had been a recurrent topic for some months last year.
And now you say its the "new secret". wtf
First of all, his screenshot has 3 words, not 5. And this is not the florentian dialect ("he would have used the language of Dante" - Author says)
He claims "Povere leter rimon mist(e) ispero" means "Plain letter reassemble mixed inspire".
1) "ispero" means "I hope" not "they inspire". It is a gross error. He cant have taken a 1 year course and do this.
2) "leter" is by no means florentian. latin "littera" > florentian "lettera". With double t. ALWAYS. And it is in singular, plurals end in "s".
3) "rimon" is not florentian too. It can be split in prefix "ri-" that means "again", suffix "-on" that is present mood, third preson plural. I cant immagine any connection with the italian equivalent of "reassemble".
4) Leonardo at age 14 and 15 was an apprentice at Verrochio's. He painted. How would an apprentice painter get 200 pages of precious paper?
100% crap.
