It's actually a pretty scary idea that google thinks it has enough power to change the governing policy of one of the biggest countries in the world
In the words of an individual who did have enough power to change the governing policy of one of the biggest countries in the world in the past;
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
A major issue, which I'm surprised is not being picked up more on on Slashdot, is that the Kindle uses a proprietary DRM encumbered format. If an open format were to be specified by the universities, then users could use whatever device meets their needs. Since text book publishers rely on the university market they would have no choice but to provide for the market if the universities were to band together and demand a change. It might be an opportunity to demonstrate to publishers that open formats are not worse for the publisher than DRM encumbered formats.
I thought VW were aiming for a 2011 launch of their diesel hybrid Polo. What happened to that? Also Toyota was partnering with Isuzu on a diesel hybrid due around 2012, with other Japanese and European manufacturers not far behind.
As a device manufacturer though, any drivers that I distribute need to be legally clear. This is not the case with closed source binary drivers. We have a statement from Linus that open source shims to load closed source drivers that are originally designed for other operating systems are OK by him, but closed source drivers in general are not acceptable.
The Flash plugin does not merely use dynamic linking to create a derivative work of Firefox. It uses a published API for the express purpose of making such plugins, with permission granted by the original author of that API - Mosaic Communications Company.
This seems to be a common theme in comments from posters in the US. 5 IP addresses, 32 IP addresses... Meanwhile in the rest of the world, you get one, and you're lucky if it is not NAT'ed. It seems the US treats IP addresses the same way they treat oil.
Malaysia is like Japan, in that the doctors profit from dispensing drugs themselves, and tend to over-prescribe. Go to the doctor here with the common cold, and you'll come out with a cocktail of 5 different drugs if you don't put up resistance.
In example one and three someone will say, "why didn't you just change the flight instead of buying an additional one-way ticket?" The answer is that the airlines are now charging more for the change fee ( >$150) than the cost to buy another one-way ticket.
The airlines that do that will also deny you the use of the return portion of a ticket if you fail to show up for the incoming flight. How did you get around that?
You do realise that the companies behind this train are the same ones behind the European high speed trains, and have likely brought whatever lessons they have learned in the past to the job?
The high speed trains in Japan and France only really get to high speeds in the rural areas, as noise restrictions and distance between stops in urban areas does not allow high speed running.
At the time of Eric Raymond's paper, Emacs development was of the Cathedral style, but that changed with the switch from RCS to CVS and the closed emacs-hackers mailing list to emacs-devel. Compared with other major GNU projects, this switch came quite late, around 1998 (not 1993 as stated in the summary).
I don't see how they are breaking any of those terms.
It seems to me that they used to have a page for Exercise Bike Clearance which ranked highly for whatever reason. Now that the promotion is over, the page no longer exists and requests for it end up going to a lame search engine that can't even direct users to the page for full price Exercise Bikes, which would at least help target to sell something instead of annoying users and sending them straight for the back button. The fact that Google is still indexing it with the old ranking is Google's problem.
The Americans who occupied Japan post-WWII recognized this, and forced the zaibutsu to break up into smaller companies. Now that the world's largest corporations are primarily US based and funding US politicians, they seem to have lost interest in limiting the control over government that such corporations wield.
Even their other divisions generally sold exactly the same kinds of cars. Holden has the Barina now, but it was sort of too little too late.
Holden has had the Barina since GM licensed a design from Suzuki in the mid 1980's. Meanwhile the European arm of GM (Opel/Vauxhall) already had their own subcompact (Corsa) a few years earlier, which Holden switched to 10 years later. GM in US has had a few subcompacts based on licensed Suzuki designs, and since the purchase of Daewoo in 2002, have the Chevrolet Aveo, based on the same Daewoo design as the current Holden Barina.
More importantly, however, is that it shows that a sizable chunk of this sector of the market is not entirely happy with the bland Pop/R&B fare that sounds exactly the same as the last one and makes up the bulk of their product. That at the very least pokes a few holes in their claims that people are not prepared to pay for music, and very clearly demonstrates that they are not catering for the needs of their target market as well as they could be.
The biggest problem with their current strategy is that the market they are pursuing as a target is a market that doesn't have that much money to spend. Perhaps as a satirical twist, and keeping with the early nineties alternative theme, next week's number one should be Porno for Pyros / Cursed Male.
If you go down the route of adding up, then you need to add at least J2EE to Java. But in doing this, you are counting a large number of jobs twice, or even three times for.NET (as you have three terms, all of which might match).
The UK has all that too. I haven't written a cheque for years, last time I needed to I couldn't find my chequebook and managed to convince the recipient that internet banking would be quicker and less hassle. I don't know why it needs to take so long to phase them out.

I defy you to show me any law that would bar me from showing a photo of any unreleased product?

He was awarded an OBE in 2001. Today's knighthood was the real thing.
This may be surprising to you, but outside of North America sidewalks are for walking on, not for storing surplus snow.

The engine may be unnaturally reliable, but the tail lights sure aren't.
Or just add the users that need access to the "video" group.

Is anyone really surprised that the amount and ranking of spam goes up when you include spammy terms like "clearance" in your search?
