Cool. Kinda makes uploading suck though, doesn't it? Not so bad for distribution, but just plain icky for anything bi-directional or towards a central location rather than from it.
Hold a conversation with me, or with some 1337 luser? I think I can actually write the second in 5 lines of obfuscated perl...
I think the limits of faking conversation are most defined by the limits of who you're talking with. Who is this supposed to impress anyway? At the least, I'd like to see something that fails miserably, but attempts to "learn." That'd be better than a smoke-and-mirrors anticipation of what somebody might try to say, or by constantly guiding the conversation to a pre-determined point.
Depends on where you live at... many communities (mostly more "exclusive" ones) create home-owner's associations where membership is established by changing the wording of your property deed to state that you will abide by its rules. From that point, restrictions can pop up in all sorts of weird manners.
I think the big distinction was that the sofware these states wanted to manage would be code that was written by them specifically for governmental purposes... as opposed to something like a standardized version of Apache.
Come on... they'll have to internally manage anything that they use to some extent. What agency that writes their own code doesn't have some way to manage it? Why does making it sharable with other agencies make it different?
Yeah, and if they're in some really obscure place like, say, a meeting, or at lunch... the server will walk up and poke them on the shoulder?
Besides which, I'd just swap the cell phone for a pager. Yes, I definitely would prefer the cell phone, but life goes on, and honestly my preference is mostly for the convenience of personal calls.
Yes, and no. I'm basing my math on taking a 9 volt battery and putting in a zero-loss dc to dc transformer (and wouldn't it be cool to find something like that!), then measuring how much I can draw. Amperage is rated based on the voltage level of the circuit. If you didn't place each of those each in series to gain more voltage and instead used them individually, you'd find the rating I gave, and also the comparison I'm attempting to make to the parent of my post.
A 9V Energizer has 625mah while AA Energizers have 2850mah capacity. Parallel the two 9V and you are only up to 1250mah, which means that the two 9V batteries will be dead before the AA cells are even half of the way used up.
Basically, both you and I are arguing against that statement above, just using different arguments to disprove it. That statement above is wrong because he's comparing the draw against two sets of batteries that are rated for different voltages, but is still attempting to use the voltage-dependant amp rating.
I should be more specific... I was noting that point B in my parent's post was incorrect (over-draw and heat issues). So, they're relevant to what I was trying to prove, and still don't argue against what you say. As we both noted, the draw is still the same, and since there's now twice the available power, life is twice what is was. After all, I did say it wouldn't result in more draw - never did I make claims about the life (though the obvious answer is again twice what it was).
More available amperage shouldn't result in more draw. Plugging your cellphone charger into a 15 amp circuit is the same as plugging it into a 20 amp. No matter what, it still draws the same power - less than one amp (or you have issues).
I think that violation of the GPL would constitute removal of rights across all software licensed under it. It's not an individual piece of software that's violated, but rather the license under which that software is granted. Sort of explained in this earlier comment of mine
He doesn't have absolute control over the current existing state of his code because it contains other code that isn't copyrighted by him which has been contributed by other users of the software. This gets vague in a lot of ways. What happens when a project forks? Who is the owner of a project where the code has been contributed by 100 individuals?
I think it is only by the binding of all these project through common licensing that the licensing will actually work - and hence why the GPL's chance is both in careful wording that already exists as well as the common public usuage of it. In this manner, breaking the terms of the license invalidates your use of code licensed under it. Otherwise, we risk invalidation of code snippets, and that gets really ugly. Even then, this argument can be debated up, down, and through the mud.

Hmmm... until improves? Are they trying to ditch upper management?
Yeah, but can you ship it?

I agree. Feel free to explain it to HR, though. HR departments are generally taught to consider all other employees in the company to be their sheep.
Mary had a little lamb, it ran into a pylon. 10,000 volts went up its arse, and turned its wool to nylon...
I still don't understand how that worked to prove the point...

Does anybody know? I'm really curious now...
So why don't we just make the whole world learn English then?
... because it's a university network system? Where would he back up to anyway?
Yeah, but if you're the type that is mostly likely to use that, 3/4 is where you'll be stuck at.
Volvo's not attacking anything.

Dunno... some days it feels like they try and run IE code in the kernel space...
A 9V engergizer giving out 625 mah would provide 3750 mah if converted to 1.5v (or what an AA runs at).
