Interestingly it probably could have worked out exactly the same with the roles reversed: hire someone on the cheep the first time around, get something not at all what you want. Go for some bigger company the second time around, cough up the bucks (after redefining what it is you actually want) and wind up happier.
There are some serious advantages to solving a problem when there's a working model already (even if it's mostly broken)
John Lennon and Yoko Ono did a "Two Minutes Silence" - and Soundgarden had a cover of this on Ultramega OK. I'm pretty sure they credited the authors, don't know about royalties though.
There's a control register bit called EIEIO (sound it out if you're hard of thinking) - some sort of Extended IO control, I forget exactly what it was for
But, really, it's amazing that 6 or 7 billion people can all pretty much get along on one planet, and really, unfair stuff doesn't happen all that often
Cool! Which planet do you live on? I want to move there right away!!

Do you seriously think that you need to have a working knowledge of modern RISC superscaler processor architecture to write useful code? Trying to write optimised machine code for these things is a guaranteed migrane-producer. That's why modern compilers have all the clever execution schedulers and whathaveyou.
It's a far cry from writing assembler from something as simple as a Z80 or even a 486 for that matter.
It's really not that different to writing to a driver rather than direct to HW, or would you rather step the hard disk heads yourself?
If I were to set up a website, hosted in Australia, that slandered an American company, should I be sued in the US or Australia?
What if the company didn't trade in Australia?
...or if I were to write some software which decrypted audio-visual content in a way that was illegal in the US but legal in Australia (alas this is not the case) and post that on my website? Would I be liable to prosecution under US law?

Further to that, a goodly chunk of the workforce is not full-time. Not just the cleaners and receptionists but programmers and other technical folk. Not much incentive to strike when you're not even directly employed by the company.
Surely the maybe 10 seconds of song that actually gets used counts as fair-use out of the total couple of minutes? Don't know if this counts for audio as for books etc.

Well that's easy, we'll just ask Noby...
when I was under 18 (3-5 years ago),
So you were 18 for two years?
Slashdot math: 1 + 1 - 1 = -1
No more broken than your own I think
Too bad the CDs don't fit as well
Hell they fold don't they?
Actually for RS-232 serial a 1 is -5 to -25V and a 0 is +5 to +25V, so it's quite possible the LED is on for 0 and off for 1
Also, typically floating point operations are much slower than equivalent integer operations
Erm. On a 386 maybe. These days FP mults and adds are as quick as (and sometimes faster than)integer ones.
it won't burn, until you let oxygen at it.
So there's no danger of oxidation without oxygen? Who'da thought it?

I can't wait until they get to Hassium. They could name their chip Assium!
Or they could stick with Hassium - Half-Assium...
Erm. Isn't XP the first one to actually have raw sockets?
or the film based on it (think it was called 'Shreikers' or some such. Had Rutger Hauer in it)?
When will people learn? It's all in good fun until someone gets hurt...

They probably hadn't thought of that yet!
