More importantly, there are some things no amount of personal compensation could provide: ethnic diversity, world class cuisine, sublime landscape, beautiful weather year round, municipal infrastructure (no boil orders for septically contaminated water), and a dozen other things even 50 years of economic development could not deliver to places like the one I lived in in Ohio.
Yeah, but I don't live in Ohio, and I already have those things.
Considering the amount of effort in getting a job there, the hours worked, and the cost of living in Mountain View, I think that roughly equals minimum wage.
You were moderated funny, but that's actually insightful. According to an online Cost of Living Comparison Tool, if I wanted to accept a job at Google they'd need to more than double my salary.
I think that their insistence on moving engineers to Mountain View is likely hurting them.
There is no reason why a convict should be denied the tools and space to develop software when that software is in everyone's best interest.
In general, no. However, have you seen his handwritten letters and read the text of his complaints and demands? The guy is seriously delusional and deep in denial. I don't think I'd want to trust my data to code written by a mind that unhinged.
I tried KDE as well - I believe my problem there was that the screen corners are "numb", all panel buttons start one pixel away where they require attention to click
Have you looked at Markdown, specifically MultiMarkdown? That way you could use any text editor, and produce both LaTeX and HTML output (as well as all kinds of other things).
Also, are the formats expected by publishers standardized at all? Is the standard documented?
I live in Austin, and it's a hell of a lot easier driving than Boston, which has all the features you mention plus angry Massholes who will cut you off as they lean on the horn and give you the finger.
USA independence... All of them would have failed if the people involved had been anonymous cowards.
You seem to be unaware that the people who organized the Boston Tea Party weren't merely anonymous cowards, but actually disguised themselves as American Indians.
So if the linux community would just provide the infrastructure for Optimus for the nvidia driver, you might just see that feature pop-up in their closed source driver.
So Linux devs should do a bunch of work for free, to help nVidia release closed-source-only drivers? Fuck that.
If nVidia release the specs for their hardware, then Linux devs will add the necessary infrastructure for Optimus, and nVidia can also use that infrastructure in their closed-source drivers. But it has to be a two-way win-win cooperation. The Linux developers don't exist to serve nVidia's selfish whims.
1. In general, companies don't want to rent perpetually from a sleazebag, and sleazebags don't want to deal with regular billing.
2. It may be arbitrary, but consider how many domains are squatted by companies that don't use them. The way trademark law works, if two companies have trademarks on "Foo", they ought to be able to have "foo.biz" and "foo.com". The way it works right now, more often than not one of the companies has registered "foo.*" even though they aren't using anything but foo.com.
1. Make domain name registrations non-transferable. That would eliminate the parasites who squat on domains.
2. Make a rule that if you have a domain in one TLD, you can't have the same domain in another TLD. That would eliminate corporate squatting of every single variation of a common word or phrase that they want to own.
The problem is that Oracle is saying that although the code is GPL, the API is proprietary, so by writing code while referencing the API Google has violated copyright and needs a license for all of their code.
The interesting thing is that if Oracle won this argument, one could presumably argue that Oracle's database on Linux is dependent upon the Linux kernel API, and hence must fall under the GPL.

Actually, my BlackBerry was a fantastic phone, in 2004.
The problem was, they were still trying to sell the same phone in 2011.
It's their stock-ticker symbol. People often refer to companies by their stock-ticker symbols.

How about something with a nautical theme, like Shipman?
I'm using Ubuntu Oneric w/ Libre Office 3.4.4 (which is what was distributed with it).
In which case, this problem does not affect you. Import and export of OpenDocument from Google Docs is unaffected.
Why the hell would you use XLS format for processing in Python and Perl, when you could download in OpenDoc format and use a standard XML parser?

They aren't in Kubuntu 12.04.

On the desktop, I've yet to see a single application written in Java that didn't have huge flaws, even if you ignore the huge flaws in the JRE itself.
Try jEdit.
Like the new logo I designed for them?

As far as I can tell from the TSA web site, PreCheck still requires that you go through the rapeyscan machine. So that's no solution at all.
Your vision is mostly here too, if you're willing to use Google services and Android.
So a whole OS that is dumbed down so even a retard would find it frustrating to use?
Look at how much money Apple makes from iOS.
The Boston Tea Party involved an amazingly large number of tea leaves. That doesn't stop it from being a single incident.
Bradley Manning's data leak was a single tactical incident too.
USA independence... All of them would have failed if the people involved had been anonymous cowards.

Unfortunately, the Internet is dominated by slacktivists, unwilling to put their money where their mouths are.
Or unwilling to donate money to a Republican.

Does your experience concern Philips CFLs? I have one that has lasted since 1998.
