If they want perfect, bug free code, then their developement time better be in the hundreds of years. If they want bugs to be fixed that you didn't have time to fix during developement, then they better be ready to PAY you to keep working on it.
Except there's a new twist this time. Microsoft is REQUIRING secure-boot if OEM's want to put the "ceritified for windows" sticker on the machine. Believe it or not, that sticker is worth a LOT to OEM's.
Actually, some lawyers start class actions all on their own, then find people that they can "represent" in it just so they can get paid. Ever seen the "you may be entitled to compensation" advertisements on TV? Yeah, guess who pays for THOSE!
I never said that caching would destroy them, I said that the companies ALREADY want to destroy them (since they are a competition that is starting to win).
1) Did I mention companies?
2) Auctioning off the TLD's by definition doesn't allow ICANN to enforce any such "porn must be on.xxx" rules. They MISSED that boat and can never do it now.
3) Companies block different stuff for different reasons. Some block gmail for security reasons, other USE gmail for work stuff. Same goes for facebook (online social precense), twitter and even forums. What TLD does a child-friendly forum go under,.kids or.forums?!?
4) Who gets to decide what has to be under ".xxx"? The US doesn't like nipples, but Europe has them in f*&ing shampoo commercials while the middle east would banish female knees to the tld.
5) The same goes for ".kids", people have VERY, VERY differing opinions on what a child should be allowed to see. Remember, the internet is INTERNATIONAL!
Splitting up the internet into the equivalent of ESRB ratings will NEVER work for the reasons metioned above as well as the fact that they will NEVER be able to enforce it on an international level, just look at china to see why.
I think the real story here (which the summary completely missed) is that Netflix is not just setting up caching mirrors, they are trying to get the competitors to host the caching servers! Most ISP's in the US (which is about the only place netflix works anyways) are the same companies that have been trying to destroy netflix to save their cable-TV interests.
Not only does it have a large userbase, but with the way steam works it means users don't have to RE-BUY all their games if/when they switch to Linux. Contrast this with other systems where switching between PC/Mac/PS/Xbox means buying the same game over and over again.
It *used* to deserve it, but it is MUCH better now. Remember all the crap KDE got until they stabalized 4.x? Now nobody even mentions it anymore, it's once again "just another DE" like all the others. Unity (in my eyes) is now stable and ready for the masses. I personally stick with gnome3 (I just like the layout better) and dwm (for my laptop), but I still highly recommend it to newbies.
Because then internal domain names would be nearly impossble to manage. Before this "TLD's for everyone" bullshit, you could safely name all your machines after LOTR characters, or greek gods or episodes of Futurama, but now you just may be overriding the "tld" of an ACTUAL website.
Alright, fine, trademarked in WHICH COUNTRY?!? With the old system (us owns com net gov & org, canada owns ca, france owns fr, etc it was very easy to decide which trademarks qualified). How are you going to enforce that on an INTERNATIONAL basis?!?
I worked for a guy who needed me to straighten up his domain names. Of course the domains were registered through his personal e-mail account (with his ISP), so I asked him to log into his e-mails (from work) to validate the domain transfer. He type his e-mail address into google and looked at me with a puzzled look on his face wondering why he couldn't get into his e-mail.
I know another guy that created a NEW gmail account because he couldn't get into the old one. Turned out he was typing his password into the e-mail field and his e-mail into the password field when logging in.
This is why 99% of my support calls begin with "tell me *exactly* what you did".
You can get a ticket for unintentional covering just as easily as intentional covering. 4x4 people in Canada make it a habit of wiping the license plate clean before going back on public roads for a reason. It's not uncommon to get a ticket if the bikes on your bike-rack are partially obscuring it.
No they are not, when you see the pricetag next to the item (or better yet ON the item) that is a legal contractual offer. When you bring that item to the cashier you are accepting that legal contractual offer. They cannot change or resind the offer after you have accepted it.
Most cameras allow you set set a prefix or at least the starting number, you can use that to distinguish them. Failing that, just make a folder for each camera!
Python is named after MONTY PYTHON. In fact, if you read through the docs, you'll start the notice quite a few libraries named after various skits the group did (bicycle-repairman being the most well known).
There is no radar element to these devices so they cannot be used for speed or movement checking. They are obviously for spying on the population and not for law enforcement. Number plate recognition used over a large grid like this is for tracking your movements over your lifetime. They will know where everyone is at every moment of the day.

Google didn't copy, they recreated. That's like saying Dell "copied" HP when they made their desktop.

Hmm, break the surface tension, just might work!

Citation Needed? I *LIVE* in Canada!
I honestly don't remember writing that, nor even reading the post above it. I must have been randomly typing into the wrong window or something....

So I guess my water spritzer isn't a good bug fighting weapon after all. Back to the wash cloth I guess :(
And watch the number of "missing" cats in the area skyrocket!
And save you another $1000 because you would have f*#$ed it up if you did it yourself!
Most people have at least 1 friend or family member that knows how to hit a power button.
