How much does it cost to post a comment on slashdot asking "How much does it cost to buy a slashvertisement against your competitor, with a headline that implies that the competitor's product has negative value?". It should cost the same I guess.
Wallstreet expects a rockstar CEO with solid track record. Employees on the other hand, need someone like Mayer to lead them. She has solid technical experience and has has proved to a good leader. I would definitely love to work in a company led by her.
You should check your reading comprehension. I never said one can do evil if the end is good. I only said if a thing exists and is being used for evil, and I start using it for good. Then there is nothing bad about it.
You can repeat this lame argument all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that RMS is adopting a self-contradictory position.
Would you care to explain why you believe this is lame?
The fact is that the GPL restricts the free sharing that RMS was advocating for other creative works and uses the copyright law he often criticizes to do so.
Er, as I said GPL depends on copyright law. So for GPL to work he does have to use copyright law, even though he despises copyright law. Though, as I said (and you conveniently ignored), he would be glad if GPL and copyright law disappear altogether at the same time. GPL restricts sharing to promote free software (logically copyright free software, legally GPL software), which I think is necessary as long as copyright exists.
GPL itself is a protest of copyright laws, that depends on copyright laws for its existence. If there was no copyright law, GPL would not exists, and RMS would be happy about it (Well EULA should go too, but that is a different topic). But until copyright law exists, RMS would like to defend the free rights of GPL using copyright laws.
This has been repeated on every RMS and GPL post, and still someone has to write this. Sigh.
The artist gets paid $60,000 for producing the music, the artist pays the sound engineer. Since the artists and everybody that need to make a living has already been paid, the file can be shared around freely without impacting anyone.
Wasnt this obvious from the GP post? Did you even read it?
Blasphemy! Apple invented the rounded rectangle. I hope you get poked by the corners of the same rectangle you claim apple had invented. You might then learn to appreciate how innovative the rounded rectangle is.
Putting it inside of SSL also ensures that any intermediate carriers won't be stripping Google's adverts.
Why is that a bad thing? I dont think any intermediary is currently stripping of google ads, and I would rather strip them myself if I had to, rather than depend on any intermediary. Host file list will still work, browser side stripping will continue to work too. I seriously do not see the downside for this.
Not every product Amazon has will be available at these "same day warehouses". Only the popular ones, ones that are predicted to be sell well for the season (or a special day) will be stocked. Next time you fire up amazon.com, expect them to push products that available at the warehouse near you, and sell it to you with their next day delivery guarantee.
Mmmm strange. I know the author personally, will report it to him. From what I understand, a lot of the percentages are calculated from analysis of content on the web (mostly blogs), I sure there must be a bug somewhere that misidentifies gender pronouns, when it comes to Jason.
The theory is you start with substance that can give you high, is not that dangerous, and is illegal. Now that you have already tried illegal stuff, and on a bad day you could use a higher high, you reach out for more powerful substances that can cause serious physical and mental issues. Water does not give you a high, nor is it illegal, and hence was not part of the study.
Well three reasons, why I dont believe this is applicable to movies... 1) Most movies I watch are more than 20 years old. I firmly believe they should be in public domain. Since I cannot change copyright law, I choose to ignore it. In fact I believe the movie studios are stealing work from the public by lobbying to keep work on copyright for such a long time. If the beers you buy are 20 years old, and you believe they should be free and you can obtain them for free without stealing, go ahead. 2) If the movie is available on DVD, I still queue them up on Netflix (or at my local library), and I return it without watching them. So it all evens out, I guess. If you can postpone paying for your beer at the supermarket, I suggest you do. 3) If the movie is not available on DVD, I assume the MAFIAA has not intention on making money on it. I happily torrent it. If your brewer stops making the beer, and you still manage to get you hands on it, without stealing, I suggest you do.
Er, they do it all the time. Defendant offers a deal, prosecutor counters with another deal. When they can agree on one, both of them shake hands and leave.
I am a film buff. I easily watch 3 movies a week (if I have good company it can be more). I have a Neflix account and a hulu+ account, apart from premium cable. Guess what? I still have to resort to not so legal means to get content. Netflix and hulu online collection suck. I am not even taking about new releases (which I would gladly watch at a movie theater), but movies that were released 20-30 years ago. I sometimes look it up at the local library, sometimes queue it up on Netflix-dvd, and about 60% of the time download the damn thing, get some beer from the fridge and start watching the movie. And my film buff friends abroad, easily get 90% of their content from not so legal means.
Just open it up, already, I would gladly pay for content. But I guess MAFIAA, does not want my money.

The whole thing looks like a bad 90's spam filter.
Fast food is not a replacement for lazy planning/parenting.
It can supplement good parenting though. There is nothing wrong with an occasional (as in once in few months) fastfood experience.
Well, 28 years is not enough to know all the important people on earth I guess.

She was also taken off the Operating Committee (Larry Page's inner circle) at the end of 2011. Yeah the writing was on the wall.
Well, $4 is cheap enough.

People do. Present day movie actors would be awful as stage actors. Stage actors overact (and make it over dramatic) to help people suspend disbelief.
You should check your reading comprehension. I never said one can do evil if the end is good. I only said if a thing exists and is being used for evil, and I start using it for good. Then there is nothing bad about it.
Using something that is used for evil, to do good and to limit the evil, is good though. Its like taking a niche out of evil and making it good.

Makes me wish I hadnt spent all my mod points. And feel free to mod me redundant, I can take the karma hit.

If she were like RMS, she very well might be. Assuming most people are like oneself is very common, even among extremes like RMS.

Looks like someone disagrees with my definition of "gateway drug". Care to reply, sir?
Isnt there some contempt of court or something?
