The incentive here is to return the trolleys to where they are supposed to go rather than leave them spread all over the carpark. If you're going to remove the trolley from the carpark, you can get your $1 back with a paperclip or hammer once you're out of sight of store security, so there is no incentive there.
You've got to be more careful. Apple fans monitor these forums. What you posted may get you bitten by some blind fanatic.
Normally what you wrote applies, but we have about a week now where we can post what we like about Apple without fear of retaliation before all the fanboys give up trying to read Slashdot on a 3 inch screen over a GPRS connection and go back to their beloved MacBooks.
Javascript very much is at fault here, if it does allow submitting posts. Allowing HTTP requests only to the originating site is one of the basic security constraints of the Java sandbox, so its not like this is a brand new vulnerability that noone ever thought about before.
Yes, it'll break AJAX mashups, but it needs to be done.
With those prices, a two year contract, and unsubsidized handsets, AT&T had better not be playing any of the usual telco tricks with the definition of "unlimited".
There was one FreeBSD just like there was one Red Hat Linux. Or does the netcraft confirmation make NetBSD, OpenBSD, DesktopBSD, DragonflyBSD and now PC-BSD not count?
Emacs Emacs, X, KDE, Gnome are not ported and probably won't be.
The reason they never will be has more to do with lack of demand than incompatibility. Windows is also fundamentally incompatible with the posix systems they were originally written to target, but Emacs, X and many important Gnome and KDE apps have all been ported.
Public or not, what exactly is the W3C doing organizing a conference on Government Transparency in the first place? Shouldn't they be working towards the next set of standards for the Web or something? Or are they losing focus and trying to become the regulators of everything that touches the Web?
violation of the GPL to distribute GPL software and GPL-incompatible software on the same media.
That's not quite the full story. Binary kernel modules live in a grey area already. They get away with distributing them separately, because it is the end user who links the shim to the binary module, and under the GPL the end user is free to do what they like if they do not distribute the results. Once you start shipping a distribution with those modules enabled by default, you are breaking the GPL.
Without knowing exactly what libraries you're planning to link against, and what DRM "features" you plan this embedded device to have, the answers really can't be any better than that. With regards to static linking, if you can dynamically link to the library then you can statically link. I'm not aware of any software license that makes a distinction.
I think it depends on what you're buying. In Chinatown, here in NYC, you can buy a purse for $35 that looks EXACTLY like a $3000 gucci or whatever. Which would you want to pay?
I would be surprised if anyone in the market for a $3000 Gucci purse would go for the $35 knockoff. On the other hand, they might be dissuaded by the fact that every chav is walking around with the $35 knockoff and go for the equally gaudy $3000 Dior instead, so I suppose Gucci could claim the knockoffs caused them to lose some business. Not that I support a business model based on propping up the value of goods through artificial scarcity.
Why would we jail someone for spamming? They are non-violent offenders.
People who commit burglary while the owners are away are non-violent offenders. Serious fraudsters are non-violent offenders. Drug dealers are non-violent offenders. Violence is not a prerequisite for jailing criminals, nor should it be.
Harm to society is not always physical.
Who was harmed in the process of his sending spam?
Anyone who has ever had to swap a hard-drive out of a mailserver due to increased wear or disk space requirements, or upgrade a data pipe to the next size up, has been financially harmed by spammers. And if you slipped with the screwdriver and injured yourself while undertaking this otherwise unnecessary work.... It is not the victimless crime that supporters of spam like to make out.
I'm not sure why you were moderated informative, when there is no evidence anywhere to back this claim up. I'm fully aware that the chairman of Starbucks has close personal ties with Israeli officials, but as far as I can tell, he does not use the company to push any agenda in that regard.
There are many reasons to dislike Starbucks, but whatever your opinion of Israeli politics, supporting oppressive regimes is not one of them.
That's kiloBytes per second, not bits. Bluetooth 1.1/1.2 has a max transmission speed of 721kbps (roughly what I get from my HSDPA 3G connection in practice), hence the 64kB/s the GP sees (the rest of the bandwidth is taken up with error correction and other overhead as with any other wireless connection) Bluetooth 2.0 supports an enhanced rate of 3Mbps, so if both devices support 2.0, performance should be better.
Bluetooth 3.0 is where this technology will become a realistic alternative for everyday use, with UWB supporting speeds up to 480Mbps, putting it in the same ballpark as USB 2.0 high speed.
Assuming I'm reading this correctly... there already is a market for cameras with built-in wifi.
Right, and assuming I'm reading it correctly, that market just got expanded to all digital cameras that use SD cards as their storage medium. Previously a camera had to have the WiFi built into the camera, or support SDIO (or the Compact Flash equivalent) and have the drivers and probably some form of UI built in.
What you posted a link to was an SDIO WiFi card. Such cards are commonly used in PDAs and in this case printers to give them Wifi capabilities. They require SDIO support in the device and drivers. TFA is about a 2Gb memory card, which has onboard Wifi and the software to use it to transparently upload files to a server. To the device it appears as a 2Gb memory card, not as an SDIO Wifi card.
Slashdot Mirror
Oracle and Sun.
Which is why he got charged with perjury, and not with treason. Are you saying that knowingly acting as the fall guy should go unpunished?

TCP Vegas sounds like quite a fancy name itself. FastTCP is far more appropriate IMHO, so if it is merely a name change, it is for the better.

I guess that's the downside that Microsoft sees in Googles "college kid" atmosphere. Why innovate when you can embrace, extend, extinguish.
With the GSM modem in the iPhone? I'll stick to my HSPDA speeds thanks.

I think this sums up the recording industry's estimates of their losses due to piracy very well.
Will this fourth sensor finally mean we can capture Gendale in all its beauty?
May 2003 was when the case was brought against eBay. So the patent must have been issued by then, not merely filed.
The problem is when they get charged with contempt of court for wiping the data from the RAM before handing it over.
