The problem is that his son Christopher was involved in writing significant portions of the stories, so the public domain clock would not start ticking until his death. It's a shame that Christopher is being so stubborn on this.
Good points. Tournaments tend to reward generalists while match play tends to reward specialization & preparation.
The same debate occurs in most american sports - should the regular season determine the champion or a playoff system. There are good arguments on both sides but the fact remains that the two approaches along with the hybrids are measuring different things.
Yeah that's a good point. There was significant pushback when women have talked about joining the PGA tour. I think that MLB and possibly golf would be the only ones likely to welcome a female and that's pretty much because there is no physicality with the opponents.
You are confusing high level standards with tactical and strategic business operations and industry specific needs. A company that makes staplers is going to have much different needs and operations than a company that makes nuclear reactors, cars or airplanes.
The issues that a lot of people really don't get. Products like SAP are great if you do your business the same way as everyone else.
Exactly. That's why SAP's modules for areas like Human Resources and Accounting work decently well, but other areas that are industry or company specific cause more problems than they solve.
So I'm not sure what you're saying -- home schooling prevents bullying of nerds by taking other children out of the equation?
Yeah, it takes other kids out of the equation that are going to be detrimental to the learning experience. Home schooled kids still get to participate in science clubs, sport, music and other social activities.
The socialization that occurs in public schools doesn't necessarily prepare students for the type of socialization they will experience in the adult world. In (too) many cases, students the socialization learned in public schools is actually detrimental and must be unlearned.
Also, it's not like home schooled children grow up in a bubble. From what I've seen and read, they usually participate in sports leagues, orchestra or marching band and other clubs.
The best public schools are probably better overall than home schooling, but far too many do more harm than good.
When he started revealing US intelligence secrets and methods to foreign powers he became a spy. It really is a shame as his initial actions were a good thing, he just went down the wrong path later.
"Ah, you DO know that the NSA were not tasked with "snooping", right?
There's a reason why, for example, the CIA investigate external threats and the FBI investigate internal threats and that it is a bad thing for the CIA to be investigating internal threats EVENE THOUGH "Who would have guessed an investigation organisation would investigate, huh?"
That is because they aren't tasked with "investigate stuff". They have a remit, as do the NSA, and that they stepped outside it.
As you rightfully pointed out, the NSA snooping internally and sharing it with internal law enforcement are extraordinarily major issues - but that is where it ends. Everything else that Snowden revealed was espionage against the United States.
Foreign intelligence agencies have always spied and snooped so the rest of the world should drop their shocked outrage act.
Juries do not decide the sentence. They decide guilt.
Sure they do. If you want a recent example, check out the Jodi Arias trial. Her jury was tasked with deciding if she should get the death penalty - they deadlocked with 8 of the 12 in favor of giving her the death penalty.
Of course the NSA spied on foreign nations - it's a spy agency after all.
Allies have always spied on one another. In the past British intelligence has provided information to the FBI that it had gathered while spying on Americans.
The outrage was that the NSA was spying internally on Americans, since that should require a warrant.

Resolution isn't the only factor to consider. Bitrate is just as important.
Like tears in the rain...
Sure - that's why we all mentioned human resources and accounting as some of the few generic tasks that SAP is good at.

All right, I see your point. But actually the nationalism bit in my post was triggered more by these nuggets on the part of GP:
Ah yes. I love when British or Aussie wankers like you post that. Allow me to educate you out of your ignorance.
If the US cared about it at all, and we do not, we would own the entire world in the sport. I have zero doubt about that.
Not that I am particularly offended by any of this, mind you.
If you'd read Attila Dimedici's post above yours, you'd understand why the assertions you have such a problem with are actually true.
There are more middle class people in China than in America.
With a population about 4 times greater, I'd hope so.
You are confusing high level standards with tactical and strategic business operations and industry specific needs. A company that makes staplers is going to have much different needs and operations than a company that makes nuclear reactors, cars or airplanes.
If that were true, one universal software product could be used to run every company in the world.
That makes sense for areas like human resources and accouting, but not for areas that are highly specialized for an industry of company.
From what I've experienced the SAP sales teams usually include a hot blonde who the executives won't turn down for a business dinner.

To be clear, I attended a decent public school.
Apparently your personal definition differs from the official one from the USA as Snowden faces espionage charges.
Could you share your own personal definition of "espionage"?
When he started revealing US intelligence secrets and methods to foreign powers he became a spy. It really is a shame as his initial actions were a good thing, he just went down the wrong path later.
That doesn't strip a person of their citizenship - just the ability to travel.

Snowden did transition from a whistle blower to a spy though. He lost a lot of sympathy when he went down that road.
I think the OP is pointing out that the word Theory has a much different meaning in science than it does in everyday language.
