You're right, dumping lowers demand for local farmers driving them out of business. This is why you give them some way of having demand such as money or food stamps. They then buy from local farmers, and it encourages a local farming industry. In times of famine and crisis, you can import foods, but for lasting change, you need to be able to give the poorest of the poor some way to exercise market demand of their own.
You have a good point that it isn't good to write them all at once. Isn't one of open source's strong points is that things only get better over time with more people checking for errors and polishing the product?
I enjoyed watching. I like the stuff coming out of Blender. I just wish I could find a 3d artist who wanted to do a virtual world with me. I wrote code for an action MMORPG engine over 7 years, but no artist ever wanted to sign on to do 3d models. Ah, I can always revisit it in the future.
This is basically another aspect of muscling out competition. By getting licenses that forbid competition, they make it hard for another video game company to compete.
Exactly, there's not enough jobs for STEM. Microsoft calling the world having a lack of shortage of workers is just cover for them to get cheap labor. There's tons of unemployed yet educated and skilled labor out there. Its why it is called a recession. There aren't enough jobs out there that people can feasibly pay off their student loans with.
Well said.
Also Telcos sue the local governments when they compete. Apparently the state competing with a monopoly is unfair. I'm still waiting for UPS and FedEx to sue away the Post office.
In a utopian world, smart meters could get you motivation to use electricity on non peak hours. In our corporate screw you over the best they can legally world, smart meters is just an excuse to jack up rates and confuse consumers. Right now we just have cost per kilowatt hour, and you can simply choose your electric company based on the cheapest offer. Throw in the smart meters, and the most expensive company could have both the lowest rates for peak and offpeak: All they need is a sneaky curve where you're nearly peak all day long.
Not just IE. All of Windows could be sandboxed. Exe should not be able to modify files outside their own install directory. Leave legacy support for old trusted.exes though.
MMO Pong: Everyone gets a side of an nsided polygon where N is the number of players. There is n-1 balls in play.
MMO ET: Everyone gets thrown into a pit, and you need to jump on top of other people's heads to jump out of the pit. I would think this would have to be a minigame inside an actually fun game, otherwise how would you get people to play it:P
My math is old, but with P2P where you update everyone around you of your position with 640k upload, you can do about 50,000 players if your attacks are melee only. The key is not updating people far away as frequently, since they can't get in range and get a hit on you, you only have to calculate a full run between you for the time between sending out data. The biggest trick with P2P as everyone knows is dealing with hackers though... Even games like WOW, I would think you might be able to fly with a hack because their central server probably isn't calculating your collision detection.
"For anything non-trivial, it is simply illegal to develop software." Companies are getting away with patenting things that are trivial and obvious, for almost any piece of software, you're tripping over dozens of patents. If we were to enforce the letter of the law, developing software is illegal.
Using the Internet is similar to freedom of speech. Once a man is banned from the Internet, he is silenced.
Of course, France maybe interested in free speech like the civilized world is.
The people trying to push censorship on the Internet, try it in the US first, and if it fails there, they try and push it in other countries to see how it could be spread around the world.
Commodore 64 has one thing going for it that modern day computers don't have: The ability to properly boot up each time no matter what was screwed around with the software.
Still, that computer is too far out of date, like a previous posted suggested, an ol XP computer with some games is good.
Make a.exe standard across Linux versions. This.exe cannot escape its install directory or access root privledges. You might allow them to access other directories by assigning privledges, say if one application needs to play with another application.
The reason I quit Linux is that not everything installs via C++ that well. Last I tried was back in 2003 when you needed to install every program you added via a compiler.

It all started with the success of the X games. Now we have extreme librarianism. Just don't mess with Conan the Librarian.

Why do people buy EA again? They just buy out good companies to put them out of business.
200$ laptops even with replacements over the years are cheaper than 10,000$ in books for k-12.
They should do studies with some kids to see if they learn as good on a computer as a book.
Once this data is compiled, throw in some educational aps too, and you're probably beating what you can get on just books alone.
Wait... You're on Slashdot and you're saying STEM fields are terrible?

Does my Tshirt come with a moderation check box list on the back? Then people can check mark if I'm funny, insightful or a troll.
Oh you had clay tablets? You're lucky.
Back when I started programming, I was on a Pentium with floating point division errors.
You're probably right, but people from the UK would probably be delighted they don't need to put in effort to warm their beer.

If I was to make a product and I just wanted money, but didn't care about improving society, I'd do a gimmick:
Every release, I'd have some things better and some things worse. Then I could tout,"Improved THIS AND THAT!"
Next release, I could make the worse things better and the better things worse, and tout,"We improved this now!"
The trick is that it can't be things the user easily can see in action like screen resolution.

Yep. I moved from Godaddy when they supported SOPA too.
All seriousness aside: By looking at the scantily clad women they advertise with, is it any surprise they go down?

Also if we restrict the highway to motorcycles only, there would be almost no car related accidents at all.
