Given the kind of money math researchers at the university level make, redistributing it to everyone who's contributed to his win would be donating it to charity.
I'm stuck in the position with agreeing with the fact that no, Apple isn't abusing FLOSS, and disagreeing with your libertarian nonsense.
You do realize sometimes with the Free Market, the customer's largely not in a leverage point due to inelasticity of most goods? Food, housing, fuel, etc?
If this was the National Review Online, or Free Republic, or what have you, there would be a huge push to cover this up and blame the "liberal media"(whatever the hell THAT is) for any accusations that they did something wrong.
the iPhone is better than print. I can hit the center button and no one can tell I was looking at porn while at work/on the bus/etc. You do that with a copy of Juggs, Hustler or Nasty Asians
HuffPo's got it's problems(Vax denier writing about how vaccines are evil but vitamins and minerals are a cure all? WTF), but that article was the best i could find that summed up Sharron Angle's crazy, and it did it in a way that backed up it's claims.
HuffPo can't be a liberal version of the Drudge Report. HuffPo's layout doesn't make my eyes hurt.
The problem is, the government has gone from simply setting ground rules to ensure a free and fair market, to micromanagement of nearly every aspect of a business and to the point that it has distorted the free and fair market that was the original goal.
Could it possibly occur to you the reason for this isn't that the Government isn't just grabbing as much power as possible, but rather the unscrupulous have gotten more and more crafty at what they do?
Don't thank the government, thank the labor unions. The government was on the side of the corporations back then, and even encouraged companies using union-busting thugs to beat down union members protesting poor/dangerous conditions and miserly pay. It wasn't until the unions were able to organize into large enough voting blocs to threaten politicians' elections that the government suddenly found a need to seriously improve conditions for the average US worker.
As has already been said, these new regulations are just another distraction from the piss-poor job elected officials have been doing, and an attempt to have something to point to on election day
No, thank the Government too. The Government isn't a monoculture, the "one party system" that a lot of libertarians complain about is only on very large, very complex issues. For all other things, there are huge differences between parties. In the 30's, we went from Herbert Hoover to FDR.
A lot changes in between election cycles.
These regulations DO suck. They're obscenely stupid. They're the result of representative Government. But my post wasn't about that. It was about the nature of the markets. The markets do not exist for any other reason to perform transactions. This regulation is stupid, but, that doesnt' mean the idea of regulation
The market exists to conduct transactions, making it fair for all has been a result of Government intervention.
It was only 100 years ago when 16 hours of labor a day was worth enough scrip for barely enough to live off of from the company store. Now 16 hours of labor is worth 8 hours plus 8 hours times one and a half.

Uuuuuh
Isn't this kind of thinking what copyright laws are supposed to prevent?
Jesus Christ
Can you be anymore a paranoid asshole?
You just gave me an idea for a USB enabled fork of Grub.
I thought SuSE went out of business.
I don't know.
This is a neat headline and all but until there's a bill that describes what's being regulated how and why, I'm going to really hold judgment.
Some regulations are lousy, but that doesn't make regulation of industry or the markets lousy itself.
I understand that the new boss is probably same as the old boss.
the old boss was competent and didn't have a taste for throwing chairs.

I hope they get along.
Last thing we need is a literal distro holy war.
On the other hand if Pol Pot ran Fark, I imagine the site would get much better.
He proves P != NP.
Due to limitations with TeX can't be bothered to fit it into the margins
Only Fox has a preconceived political narrative in mind when formulating stories.
The rest of the media outlets are simply too lazy.
You mean, irrelevant to YOU.
Hulu's still going to have free ad supported access to current TV shows. But to some people this might be a boon, not a bane.
Actually, I do. And now They're suing the pants off of R2K.

+1 on this.
If Stephen Glass worked for a conservative rag like the National Review, he wouldn't have been fired, he would've been promoted.
Wrong.
72 DPI is way more important.
Mostly because that's the DPI I use to make my graphics designer friends cry when I need something printed.
I mean, sure, if your goal is to have crisp, beautiful graphics, 300DPI is great; but if you're out to make an art major cry, 72 DPI is where it's at.

I suspect the next few OSX and iOS revisions to start merging and sharing APIs, and maybe OSX will go away, but it won't be replaced by iOS.
you mean like Hulu?
Oh blah blah blah.

most of the interested voters in Nevada are largely in Las Vegas and Reno. They also happen to be out of state transplants.
So yes, Harry Reid's strategy is pretty sound.
You *really*
Really
Really
Don't know about Reid's opponents this time around do you?
Sharron Angle is fucking crazy.
Opposes fluoridation, the UN and the Department of Education.
She's got a lot of tough questions ahead of her.
If Government's success rate is around 90%, with 1 in 10 failing, I have way more faith in my Government than any corporation or business.
