Given that in the message they contrast "machine-readable" with "binary version," I think that "machine-readable" means the source code. I agree that machine-readable sounds like the non-source version, but I think this is just poor wording, not a GPL violation.
I should have said the only real reason to buy Office, not use it. If you have it, came with your computer, got it for free, etc., you have plenty of reason to use it over SO/OO if you prefer it.
Not true, really. Anyone who needs to footnote a paper is past Wordpad's capability.
Back to the original point, though -- the only real reasons to use Office over Star/OpenOffice are 1) document interchange or 2) very advanced features. Both of those only apply to the business world for the most part (SO/OO can easily handle paper-type things in.doc format).
He'd have to make $8.25 an hour to make the same amount as unemployment. Maybe he could do that, but why would he?
Because when his unemployment runs out, he'll be making $0/week? Also, I don't know the structure of benefits under unemployment, would working at Wal-Mart give him better health care, etc?
It came from a misunderstanding of the way Canadians pronounce the "ou" diphthong. It is in fact different from the American pronunciation, but it's not a phoneme we have in American English, so it's been printed "oo," leading people to make fun of it as being pronounced like a long "u." Canadians for the most part actually pronounce it halfway between "oh" and "ow," and you can definitely tell a Canadian from that pronunciation vestige. Even Peter Jennings has a little bit of it.
Plus, it's really funny. You Canadians are weird.:)
What about the auto-deployer? Don't try to update your EAR or WAR by overwriting the archive if the file's larger than 4MB. JBoss'll undeploy your aplication and fail to redeploy it.because it doesn't know how to wait until the copy operation is over.
Yeah, cos rm application.jar ; cp ~/application.jar . is so difficult.
Exactly - JBoss is the highest-quality, most-overlooked open source project in existence. It's just absolutely fantastic. The only thing missing is clustering, but 1) I don't need it and 2) it's coming in 3.0 anyway (I've messed around with the alpha builds' clustering capabilities). I highly recommend anyone thinking about J2EE at least give JBoss a shot, and why not, it's free.
But on the other hand, I don't really have a problem with Sun not certifying it, and I don't really understand what all the fuss about it is. It's simple -- certification is a major cash cow for Sun. All the money they spend developing standards like EJB gets recouped when IBM, BEA, etc. pay to have their app servers certified. JBoss, since it's free, can't afford that. And who cares? I trust that JBoss works because I deploy EJBs and Servlets written to the standards and they Just Work. If you're in a bigger organization than I am that's spending $millions on your infrastructure so you don't just trust JBoss out of the goodness of your own heart, you have two options. 1)Test it yourself or 2)Pay IBM or BEA or someone else because they certify that they've tested it for you.
What exactly is the big problem? Sure, Sun isn't the second coming or anything, but they provide well-written open standards that are unencumbered by patents that open source projects can implement. What the hell is wrong with that?
Dude, I have one of those mobos. Got it off of a friend of mine (he got a virus, bought a new computer, sold me his old sis, k6-2, 4x cdrw for $50), and the video on it fucking blows. The worst part is the no AGP slot thing, and I'm not putting out the extra cash for a PCI card. Luckily, new mobos and processors are cheap.
Which was my point in my angry flaming reply - the SCOTUS wasn't ruling on whether guns in schools are good or bad, but on the legality of Congress's act. Of course, I couched it in enough rudeness and vulgarity to be almost unreadable, but hey, I've had a bad day...
You're a total idiot. You obviously don't have ONE SINGLE FUCKING CLUE what the school-zone gun law was about. Will you please shut the fuck up, read about it (instead of just pulling its meaning out your distended ass), and come back when you have at least one coherent thought in your brain. Jesus fucking Christ, wake up, dipshit.
In the US and many other countries, you are allowed to make copies for acquaintances, as long as you have no expectation of compensation for doing so. This may not apply to filesharing, because the expectation of compensation comes in the form of getting other material in return, but in the case cited, it certainly is legal to do so, regardless of what the recording industry would lead you to believe.
No way, dude. I'm partial to the Battle of Britain. Sucked up more hours of my life than any other game of my childhood. Course, it looked a lot better on my Atari ST than my friends' PCs.
Sure, there are still good eps, but there are some truly atrocious ones as well. Beyond Blunderdome (with Mel Gibson)? What the hell was the point of that? The one about the body in the quarry this year? Totally pointless.
You're right about the morals thing, though. I don't know what that poster was talking about. If anything, the middle seasons contained the largest amount of moralizing, whereas now the show is almost nihilistic. Not that the moralizing was ever overbearing, IMO, but to say that it's moreso now is a real strech.
You just answered your own question (well, not so much question as pointless flame). H cells = portable storage of energy. Source of that energy = solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, etc.
Cars need portable energy. You can't just say, "We need to use renewable energy sources" without thinking about things that can't use them. How are you going to power a car by wind? By tidal forces? So what you do, is use those sources to charge H cells, then use them in cars. It's so simple, but if a Republican is pushing, it must be towards the ultimate end of clubbing baby seals and pumping oil directly into the ocean, right?
Are you aware of the difference between signed and ratified? Please go look at the US Constitution. The executive branch has the power to sign treaties, only the Senate can ratify them. The treaty was explicity not ratified.
The problem is that the treaty is really just a way for the European countries to keep whining about pollution and the US and cry cry cry, while they cut down all their forests and avoid shutting down or fixing the old Soviet Bloc factories that are spewing toxins above and beyond the worst the US has ever done. The treaty was designed so that EU countries could get credits for taking those factories offline, but the US, Canada, etc. don't get credits for things like having already done so and keeping their forests intact.
Welcome to the real world. This isn't a Captain Planet cartoon, there are shades of grey.
You are a total fucking idiot. It is a waste now, because the tech hasn't been refined yet. That's why we're putting money into RESEARCH. Get it through your thick, useless, whiny, slashbot skull, dipshit - Oil is going to run out, so we need something new. Either figure it out, or fuck off.

The difference is that with an iPod, you can finish the download and leave before the store closes for the night.

Well, nobody encodes their cds at 32k or 64k, but they do broadcast at those bitrates. An improvement there could be useful.
Heh heh. Although the likelihood of my being able to sell tickets for people to watch me hack on the kernel is pretty low...

Why not ask JBoss?

Yeah, that is cool. I wonder why no one has ever thought to do that before!
I wouldn't really consider Indymedia news, so much as a collection of stories too good to let facts get in the way of.
I really really doubt that. I mean, Jeanette Rankin voted against both World Wars, but she didn't get kicked out of office by hordes of pro-war hawks.
You wouldn't happen to have a link to this, would you? I would be real interested to read up on this.
