And it's pretty silly, as if July 4th is the only day we should be independent, as if using free software is just a symbolic gesture. And to compare something which has had the feedback of many like them over decades to something that hasn't (since not nearly as many people use it) as if they should be in parity is also silly. I imagine if they actually committed to free software, they'd find they became more efficient, in part because they have the freedom to improve and customize the software to precisely meet their style of doing things (and no, they don't have to have programmers in-house; they can hire someone).
So by reading the fine article you answered your own question.
He was just documenting one of the first explorations of The Fine Article that a Slashdot inhabitant has ever made, so that others of us might be able to learn from his experiences. I was intrigued by how his initial "well that's dumb" thought was actually addressed by the article. It shows that reading The Fine Article that is so often spoken of might offer something new, untapped. I hope other daring Slashdot inhabitants venture into this new territory in the near future.
I was making the point that it's silly for Microsoft in 2010 to say that application developers need to have their code observe security limits, rather than have the OS enforce them on the application. My joke was illustrating a clearly absurd example where modern operating systems do enforce it, so that the reader might ask why it can't do the same for these security features as well.
Never mind this changed word; what about all the changes made in the drafts that existed only in the founding fathers' minds? Sure, this finding shows some of the thought processes going on at the time, but there were plenty more that never left such direct evidence on paper, and just as important.
I take you to be saying that it's the most-clicked because it was placed in the upper-left. I think you've got the causation backwards; it was put there precisely because it's the easiest to find and click.
If a thief stole a diamond ring and passed it to a friend who resided in a college dorm, would the jeweler ask the University Housing department to handle the investigation?
Talk about a flawed analogy! A diamong ring might cost up around $10000, but here we're talking about songs whose theft is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Simply and directly pass all the costs off to the students. Tally up what all the hardware and maintenance will cost, the hiring of new staff to deal with it, etc.
Even simpler: charge the copyright holders for whatever policing is necessary to protect their imaginary property from imaginary theft.
Microsoft also added, "If only those applications would use our special memory access functions, they wouldn't go overwriting other programs' memory. There's nothing we can do at the OS level to prevent this, so it's up to application developers to do the ritght thing."
Here in the developed world, this $2 device will cost $1000, because it will be classified as a medical device and thus require lots of testing to satisfy the FDA, and kickbacks to keep the opticians from trying to ban it due to it stealing their jobs.
Packed aboard the spacecraft are 1,918 pounds of propellant for the station, 110 pounds of oxygen, 220 pounds of water and 2,667 pounds of dry cargo -- which includes spare parts, science equipment and other supplies.
There must have been an enormous amount of them, given those weights in near-zero G! Seems like they should really be trying to dock on its next orbit.
I actually liked those, when they were just a single pair of buttons you had to press out of the blue. The ones where it's multiple throughout a cutscene, those were annoying because they were stupid hard sometimes.
Interesting idea. It's a Linksys BEFW11S4 with firmware 1.44.2z, Dec 13 2002. I didn't see any OpenWrt for it. I've been using it as a router, saving my spare WRT54G units for when I need wireless or OpenWrt, which I have loaded on them.
Actually, you seem to be the one misunderstanding the -graph suffix. Or missing the joke.
I'd have caught the joke if it were at all funny. I'm still trying to figure this out. So the announcement a few days ago was a lead up to this? Somehow the humor totally failed for me.
It's exactly what I figured it'd be (actually, I figured they might have also used an SPDT switch pressed by the nipple, otherwise you have the battery's negative connection sitting a couple of millimeters from the positive connection, which I'd worry might short out). They had better label these InstaLoad battery compartments well, otherwise you'll be tearing your hair out looking for the non-existent polarity diagram. But really, battery loading is such a non-issue, I don't see how it'd be worth the extra few dollars this patented technology will add to device cost.
That's exactly what copyright/patent laws is about: I get to tell you what to do with your property. I get to list things you can't form it into, and things you must do to prevent others from doing so as well with it. It's much cheaper for me to make you bear the costs of this. It helps prop up my artificial monopoly. It's the law, so deal with it.

Does this mean that you learn how to teach it?

Given all the cyber-this and cyber-that, I think cyber has taken on a new meaning in the past several years:
Cyber (prefix) - signal to reader that he need not think critically about what follows.
It's a shortened version of the phrase using a computer, which has also had the same meaning in the context of patents.
Yeah, there's good-for-you natural arsenic, and the awful-chemical-that's-poisonous-for-you artificial kind.
Shhhh, don't upset the tenuous logic that he offers as justification for his dislike of banks.

What do you mean a five-bar meter isn't a calibrated, precise, linear measure of signal strength? I know what the bars mean, I'm not stupid.
Why does a Mac critic have a problem with the chain on a bicycle?
It restricts what you can do with the bike.

Yep, I've always hated browsers for reloding when going back. Yet another reason I open new things in tabs, rather than use the back button.

Don't forget to make claims about this health supplement also helping to reduce the possibility colic, nausea, bad breath, and high blood pressure.
This will be great to be sure my vision is good while driving. Don't worry, I can multitask.

Careful, or she might get arrested for these exploding batteries.
