It's a copyright infringement case that occurs because someone illegally distributed something they would have had a right to if they had complied with the terms of the license the product was offered under. "GPL violation case" seems like a nice shorthand.
Isn't that part of what Oracle is suing Google over? It seems safe to assume MS would sue over significantly less than that. Now, whether they could win in court seems to be an open question.
If you can save enough money in production by removing life support and in operation by reducing personnel, it's conceivable that I'm fielding 10 drones for each of your pilots. And my pilots gain experience even when their craft is destroyed. In a prolonged, real shooting war these things add up.
Of course, if it ever comes to that we'll see both sides fielding mixed squadrons so they get the best of both, at least for the foreseeable future.
I don't know, "Maybe we shouldn't have launched that nuke after all" seems like it would be a nice command to be able to send. This solution might not work, but it's still a useful problem to work on.
DealExtreme is actually a really good example of this problem, in that everything I've ordered from them has had a fraudulent customs declaration (either too low value, or 'gift'). I've considered trying to remedy it, and I'm sure that correcting it would be simple, but it requires me to get off the couch to pay someone money for something I already have, so the motivation isn't very strong and I end up forgetting.
In theory, they should already be collecting tax on overseas purchases. In practice, there's a real problem this law would fail to solve.
China's up in arms trying to stop the US Federal Reserve from devaluing the dollar, it'd be really interesting to see the reaction to a sudden about face on that.
It is indeed a profound difference, which might be why OP did not say, "PJ is evil because she does this," but rather, "Because she does this, the site loses value for me."
I know you said that it shouldn't be I/O, but I would still bet money that if you put an SSD in there you'd notice a dramatic improvement. (Although, you didn't mention RAM usage, but even then the SSD would help since it would speed up swap.)
No, that I'll buy. I live in Minnesota, and while it's not the same league as Siberia or Alaska, the middle of January does make you think about your priorities. If you don't make it a point to enjoy life, the cold will drive you flippin' nuts.
True. What blows my mind is that once upon a time, some adventurous soul left their home to make a better life and found it in Siberia. I can only imagine they were fleeing a war.
I would suggest obligating them to have any and all holdings in a blind trust. That's actually almost a de facto requirement in the US right now, in order to comply with disclosure rules.
Or even an advanced option to volunteer to be a supernode. I run my main phone line on Skype, and it has an old laptop dedicated to the purpose; I'd be happy to be one.
Having grown up in Kalamazoo and since transplanted to Minnesota, I have to agree with you about snow. Let me assure you, though, that if it's warm enough to snow I'm not worried about my battery. Those are the pleasant days around here.
I suspect that's because most of the time the people making these announcements either aren't serious (they're just using the threat as a negotiating tool), or they don't have the organizational support to pull it off (e.g. Munich). Who knows, maybe Putin's serious. As long as the threat remains viable, eventually someone powerful enough probably will be. But until I start hearing things about Russia's Linux deployment in the past tense, I'm keeping the salt shaker handy.
Given that their headquarters are in MI, I agree that it's highly unlikely that this would get to production without anyone thinking about cold weather.
There has got to be a snarky comment in here somewhere about the films reflecting the attitudes of the computer makers of their times regarding the amount of control users should have over their devices...
Dual stack WAS fine. The people who put off implementing a perfectly reasonable solution until it would no longer work have doomed us to increasingly ridiculous schemes to clean up their mess.
You are quite correct, but you're misunderstanding the error. People know that a significant portion of our electric generation is from natural gas (24%), and they know that the majority of the world's reserves are in the Middle East. What you need to correct them on is the reasonable (but false) assumption that what portion of our supply we import comes from there and not Canada.
Seeing as the point of TFA is that you can do anything you want with the Nexus S, it looks like that trade is yours to make. It does, unfortunately, mean being careful in the future about which phone you get since "any old Android" won't do it, but it still looks like progress to me.

Touche, but to be fair that doesn't mean we shouldn't still inspect our bridges.

See the difference?

Now that should have been the plot of the new Tron.

I see what you did, there.

I don't know, I find jiggling orbs quite 'healing', but if they start jingling you've got issues. Or you're in Japan.
Since whenever he made that video, apparently.
