If you don't like it, there are still plenty of wild places where no one will bother you, and you can live with all the freedom you can create for yourself, by yourself.
SF Laos doesn't have to "deal" (legally affiliated) with SF US: they just happen to download stuff they found on SF US website (just like anyone else).
In fact, I would be surprised, if the people in N Korea, Iran etc. haven't set up tunnels to do that.
... but the vast resources we'd need to put a radio telescope on the far side of the moon would probably better be devoted to making sure that the Earth remains habitable.
Later, when we're not at risk of drowning in our own pollutants, then let's go back to looking for aliens.
Well, we have visual programming languages, but they aren't really easiser for the users to use them. (Not easiser than a regular scripting language)
I tried one which generated J2EE apps, but actually, but it just slowed me down, and making the diagrams look neat took much more effort than to make the code neat. (You know, a lot of wires crossing each other etc.) Actually, writing an autoindent module for textual code is much easier than for a graph based language.
Actually what makes diagrams in general (e.g. in documentation) useful is that they only show only the aspect of the code that you're trying to explain. Deciding what is important what's unimportant in a given situation needs human level intelligence.
Well, you can use some open-source engines, like Apocalyx or Panda3d, where you can do everything with a scripting language (Lua or Python) and no C/C++ skills are required. Of course this only takes care for rendering and physics, you have to do the AI yourself. (But that's the most intresting part anyway.)
B. Terms of the License -- the Entitlement
In order to use the Solaris 10 software for perpetual commercial use, you must obtain the Entitlement Document. The Entitlement Document is delivered to you either with a new Sun machine, from Sun Service as part of your service agreement, or via email when you register your machines through the Sun Download Center. For this reason, ensure that you have the correct email address in your Sun Download Center account before trying to register your Solaris 10 machines. If you do not receive the Entitlement Document, you are only allowed to use the software for 90 days of evaluation usage.
I recently installed Ubuntu and had no problem with Flash. Although I only tried streaming videos.
What I had Problem with:
1, Ati driver: I installed the thing offered by Ubuntu and the one from ATI's site as well: blank screen; tried to remove it (followed instructions from community forum): didn't work out, left me with a broken system, reinstall OS, don't install binary driver; I don't have nice desktop effects, and can't run games but otherwise works ok (later found out, they moved to a newer version of Xorg; but hey, why couldn't they warn me before I downloaded it? I would have sticked for 8.04)
2, SWI prolog: the one from SWI's site is built for Suse; tried to install it with alien, but it says it's broken. Ok, install the less fresh one from the repository: some prolog packages didn't quite work (XPCE - some parts don't work as should (Navigator e.g.)); the really funny thing is that it works on Windows like a charm
It's not all those proprietary stuff that ruins the experience, but poor package maintenance.
Can they cure Slashdot addiction?

Tell this to the Unabomber.

That's why we have to colonize Mars :)
There is the Blender repository ...
Ok, it's not quite turbosquid, but still nice
Guess the irony doesn't quite come through.

Just build a few extra treatment center, after it's just a QUESTION OF MONEY.
"People do not experience a reduction in their quality of life with one kidney. " They do. Their strength and stamina will be decreased.
Why would the owners of the robots decide so? Having a robot is just another form of capital.
The most important thing is to persuade the Pirate Bay to support Theora but not H264.
(Windows, Mac, Linux -- US corporations are the primary workers on the kernel, Red Hat, Novell, Oracle, Linus lives in the US)
Just to nitpick a bit. Suse was a German company, but they got bought up by Novell. But I guess most of Suse users are in Germany.
I think she should really talk this through with his husband. (DMCA, anyone?)
Umm, Solaris is free. So, of course support is above and beyond what you pay for it.
Ahem, you mean OpenSolaris. From the license agreement:

Speak for yourself. There're a lot of people out there that want their cheap noname stuff to "just work"(tm). And hey, what about ATI drivers?
or German (the generic pronoun is "man,"
At least they do differentiate the two: man and Mann. And there's a difference in emphasis as well.
Please don't stereotype, it's just so sexist.
Actually, woman are pretty oblivious to sexism agianst men as well.
Sorry, I'm not a native speaker.
"He" is the less sexist one, and anyone who disagrees, I'll puch them in the face.
I, the knight in shiny armours, always fight the ugly creature called sexism, so that I can get laid.
It's one of the many sexist pathologies of English that the male third person pronoun is used to indicate a generic third person.
So you replace one pathology with another. Well done.
In Capitalism, man exploits man. In Socialism, it’s exactly the opposite.
