Well, how about this. The judge in this case is the very same judge that has ruled against MS in the Java case, and likened MS to kneecapping Tonya Harding.
Yet Groklaw implies that the judge has only ever ruled in favor of MS, and paints him as a MS shill. Why is that? Why doesn't their "research" show that?
The facts are, the judge has a history of ruling AGAINST Microsoft, but you wouldn't know that from the groklaw article. That is how they show bias.
When a victim shoots themselves, despite the gun being in a locked safe, a safety, and trigger lock, being forced to load the gun themselves, and pull the trigger themselves... then yes.. they deserve to be a victim...
How much money should the taxpayers keep spending on this? It's been 17 years. If Novell can't make their case in 17 years, perhaps they should consider that it's just not worth it.
Court cases are expensive, and cost the taxpayers a lot of money. If the next case is likely to result in a hung jury as well, at what point do you stop retrying? It's been 17 years.
I didn't say anything about the court documents. I was talking about factual errors they made in their analysis and reporting, from which most of the blog articles are drawn.
You do realize, they report on more than just what courts publish. They also report on actions by the parties, claims made by the parties, random stuff people claim on the net, etc..
And like I said, they refuse to publish almost any comment that doesn't agree with them, making it seem like there is overwhelming agreement with their articles.
If by "every single time" you mean "occasionally", sure. I've tried to pout out factual errors in their analysis in the past, but they refuse to approve any posts that disagree with them.
Your problem is that you mistaken overwhelming agreement on their blog with "always right", but that's only the case because they censor anyone that disagrees with them.
Lucky you. Not everyone works in that kind of environment. Many of us sell software to clients, and they won't even consider us if it doesn't support IE6. You can't even get to the point of arguing against it, it's in the RFP. You don't meet it, you don't get the job. You don't even get to argue your case.
Your argument is naÃve, and simplistic. Most people who bring their potential client a bill that's 20-50% more will simply get fired and someone that will do it for the regular price will get hired.
Congrats on having an audience that lets' you dictate the terms to them. You have no idea how lucky you are.
FYI, anyone that thinks IE6 doesn't support the correct box model is incompetent.
IE6 fully supports the correct box model, and if it's not doing that for you, it's because you're doing something to get quirks mode rendering. If you don't know why that is, you are incompetent to be doing your job. Seriously.
You don't appear to be thinking clearly about this.
If my site uses jQuery 2, and I server 1.9 to IE users, then I want to upgrade to jQuery 2.1, or 2.2, i'm stuck because jQuery 1.9 may not be compatible with 2.1 or 2.2 or whatever later version i'm using. I'm then forced to continue to use jQuery 2 because it's compatible with 1.9.
jQuery comes out with new API's all the time.. Remember live was deprecated by delegate, then by on... this stuff seems to happen *EVERY* single version.
More than likely, it's the same code for IE6/7/8 that they're dropping. If you leave it for 8, you may as well leave 6 and 7, because you don't gain much.
I bought an i7 PC almost 4 years ago, first with 6GB and I upgraded it to 12GB, recently added an SSD. There is no reason to buy a new PC when 4 year old PC's are just as good.
The only reason I intend to upgrade is to get Thunderbolt, also the RAID controller in my system is borked and I would like to do striped SSD's so I'm looking to upgrade that as well. So once the Thunderbolt boards become commonplace, I may upgrade.
What the hell are you smoking? The Jobs act was for government projects, that are performed by private contractors. Roads are not built by government employees. They are built by private construction companies. Middle class workers. Workers that are currently out of jobs.
The ACA will not destroy insurance companies. Notice that insurance companies have not been complaining about the ACA. If anything, it brings them a LOT of new business. Even in England, and other countries with socialized medicine, there are still private insurance companies for people that want higher end care, so even in the unlikely event of a single payer system, private insurance would not go away.
Yes, if you make $250k of taxable income, you are rich. No ifs ands or buts. You may not be super rich, but you are in the top 2%. If you still find yourself living paycheck to paycheck with that kind of salary, then you don't know how to manage your finances. Middle class is basically in the range of $50k-150k. I'd consider someone making $200k to be on the lower end of the upper class.
And yes, the stimulus has been proven over and over to have prevented the complete collapse of the economy and turned around the economy almost immediately. It's been slow growth since then, but it sure beats hemmoraging 750k jobs a month as we were before the stimulus.
Really? not a single thing? You mean 1) Jobs act that will put many middle class workers back to work 2) Affordable Care Act that will lower the cost of insurance on workers with pre-existing conditions 3) Extending the bush tax cuts on the middle class 4) Stimulus plans that helped put more money in the middle classes hands...
And that's just off the top of my head, there's much much more.. I think you are confused about this.
I'm sorry, I have all the proof I need. It's called, judging the republicans based on their actions over the last 4 years.
Obstructing the functioning of the government, even to the point of bankrupting it is enough proof I need that the current crop of republicans have no interest in improving things.
You forget that the president has very limited powers in what he can do. Primarily, a president affects change by proposing legislation, but he needs a congress that will approve it.
Even in the first 2 years, when the democrats controlled both the house and senate, it was difficult to get things done because the Senate republicans would filibuster almost everything.
I have no doubt Obama would LIKE to help the middle class, I just doubt he can get it done with a congress hell bent on blocking everything he tries to do.
If you think making $250k/yr is middle class, it shows that you're out of touch with reality.
"MIddle Class" means "above poverty" and "below wealthy", and generally means for a family of 4 you're making between 40k and 120k. 120k-250k could be considered upper upper middle class, but 250k is definitely lower upper class.
We're talking taxable income here as well, not gross income. Business owners have lots of tax deductions, so if they're making 250k of taxable income, they're way above middle class.

You have a strange idea of what a 'verdict' is. Verdicts require unanimous agreement of the jury, 11-1 is as good as 1-11. Only 12-0 or 0-12 count.

This is fine for 1.9/2.0 but what happens when 2.1 and 2.2 come out? The API's will diverge.
I hope 1.9 stays api compatible, but I would doubt it.
Or use Modernizr's browser identification.
The motherboard is considered to be the PC. Not the case. That's just stupid.
I highly doubt you upgraded your P75 to a Phenom X6 without replacing the motherboard.

I shudder to think of how much atmosphere, ozone, and other vital systems in our atmosphere might have been burned up by these tests.
After all, Nuclear testing is what killed off the Martians,and made mars such an inhospitable wasteland...
