It can no be "wrongdoing" but still news. A lot of people have an expectation that donations to wikipedia go towards the maintenance of wikipedia, not $325/plate dinners.
I'll definitely think twice before donating. I know there are administratice costs - but this is excessive.
What the internet desperately needs is an application transfer protocol completely distinct from HTML.
We already have a perfectly good one. It's called HTTP. While the acronym may be misleading, it has nothing to do with HTML. In fact, no protocols (that I know of) have anything implicit to do with HTML.
I agree that we should be getting the damn code out of your hypertext, but that doesn't necessitate a new protocol.
I agree with some others about making the creator declare a value on which they pay tax. However, instead of making this a value that you can buy it from someone for, you could make it the amount you could sue someone for - or for a fixed licensing / royalty rate.
Of course this destroys copyleft. It asserts that the value of a work is directly related to its monetary value. If you're not selling it, it must not have value (unless you have the money in the bank to keep paying the tax without income from the property)
Let's also be clear that "non-profit" does NOT mean "does not make money". It has to do with what your goals are. In a for-profit company, your goal is to make money for yourself or your stock holders or whatever. For a non-profit, your goals relate to the betterment of the community you serve. "Non-profit" actually has very little to do with money. Many non-profits have vast sums of money in trust. In fact, if you spend all your money, you're probably not doing a very good job.

Shoot. With all those available cores, let's move everything back to the CPU. Get rid of graphics cards.
Oh wait. General purpose CPUs aren't very good at certain types of workloads.
I just watched it.. I can't believe it was 70 minutes. Other than the aggressive passive-aggressive stuff he kept doing throughout the talk, it was quite good. It got me excited enough to go try git.
Again I was impressed. It has been a while since I've tried git and I was amazed at how easy it was to do some easy stuff. I grabbed a source tarball and built it (on my mac) and it installed perfectly. Then I used it git to get the git source via http. That worked flawlessly. I went through some examples on the git site on the git code and it was all really nice. Everything made pretty good sense and just worked.
The only thing was getting the man pages installed locally.. and in that case, I logged into #git on freenode and someone immediately helped me, even though os x's tar is lacking standard functionality and the immediate command they gave me didn't work.
You don't "change" the copyright on something. You just grant a different type of license for newly made copies (copyright - right to copy). This is where this guy has lost touch with reality. Once you've allowed a copy it stands alone. As some other posters mentioned, it's not a contract.
Wow. That's really funny. When the dumb bitch asked the question at the beginning I was like "yeah, students should have a mastery of basic math algorithms". But then she showed me the problem solving skills taught in one of the books she was trying to speak bad about and by the end I was like "wow, no. Problem solving skills are far more important than learning how to do stuff slower than a calculator". By the time she asked again I was in total disagreement with her. Because of exactly what she showed me.
The other thing where they just taught messed up ways of doing stuff (lattice method of multiplaction) is just dumb. If you are going to teach strict algorithms, you might as well just teach it the right way.
And drinking underage is actually a CRIMINAL activity. Why don't we get the criminal activities under control first (not that I think underage drinking is a serious issue) before we start worrying about civil offenses by cutting off access to higher education?
Or we could just deal with the individuals responsible for breaking the law on an individual basis. What a concept.
wouldn't it just be less 'mirror-like' and more matte if it scatters light? In order to be black from all angles, it would have to absorb all the energy. ?
What more do you want? They're up to date on everything. They did just do a speed bump when they did the santa rosa macbooks.
, macbook,
Just got a big bump.
The mini is 161 days old
Yeah, not sure why this hasn't gone santa rosa yet.
The imacs are 161 days old as well and they have a weaker video card then the older a bigger imac before them.
Don't concern yourself with imacs. You don't want one. It doesn't matter if they bump them.
The macbook pro is 224 days old.
No it's not. No where close. And, as mentioned before, it's got everything they could put in it, anyhow. And they just gave it a speed bump.
also where is the xmac?
Nice try.
the mac pro starts at $2700 now but you can cut $500 by going down to 1 cpu.
Yep. They just updated this.
$2200 for 1 quad core with 2gb of ram and ati 2600xt is better then the older mac pro but what about people who need a good desktop at $600+ and $1000 - $2000?
You're not the target audience, apparently. They think they can do better without you. So far they're winning that bet.
The Imac screen is not good for pro work and the mini is over priced and underpowered for it as well.
Yep. That's why it's called a Mac Pro. It's for Pro work.
Have you ever seen a 30" monitor in portrait mode? I put my apple 30" in portrait mode (obviously it doesn't swivel.. I picked the whole thing up and put it on its side). It was insane how tall it was. You don't want a 30" in portrait mode.
Besides, it already has 1600 vertical resolution. That's sufficient for anything I've ever needed to do.
If you REALLY need it in portrait mode, get an ANSI mount for it that is fully articulating. Dell is pretty good about being standard compliant
RTFA. He DIDN'T pick the Dell overall. He just said it had a better design. The point here is that other manufacturers are (in his opinion) catching up and possibly even surpassing Apple on what Apple is known for: design.

How much bandwidth / transfer does $1.2 million buy these days?

I disagree that it looks bad on os x (using it right now), but it has already been addressed. If you have ff3b3, you can download the os x theme.

Yeah, because no one makes money from selling operating systems.. or is it that they do and there are no good open source operating systems?
No one makes money selling office/productivity suites.. or is it that they do and there are no good open source office suites?
And there are no commercial browsers (you think it'd be free if there was only one?).. or is it that there are no open source web browsers?
A company focused on MAKING MONEY via education wants to crush anyone else attempting to compete with them via teaching people
There's no such thing as an 80487. If you had an SX, you were stuck without a co-processor.

but my girlfriend did get a bit nauseous.
I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with the movie?
it can radiate it off as heat. that's fine -- no conservation issues. I should have RTFA, though before asking about scattering..
wouldn't it just be less 'mirror-like' and more matte if it scatters light? In order to be black from all angles, it would have to absorb all the energy. ?
$29 for wired. You're already paying $1800.
like the lack of a macbook pro update

And it's already 1600 pixels tall. That's the same as taking your 1600x1200 monitor and putting it in portrait mode.
I have a 30" monitor and am a professional programmer. It has plenty of vertical resolution in landscape mode.
