I'd say it's pretty straightforward. If I know I stand a good chance of receiving the benefits of a retroactive copyright extension, I'll then be more likely to create and publish a work, because I'll have reason to believe my income from doing so will be greater.
I assume google polls sites, and polls faster every time it finds a change, slower every time it does not find a change. Eventually it gets to a wobbly around the probable update speed of the site. Otherwise they'd have to trust sites to call their API with updates, and that would let any search engine which DID employ a wobbly poll strategy to beat them in results.
Bank, in the US, has a specific meaning, and requires FDIC insurance of your deposits, as well as lots of other good stuff that would prevent the sorts of abuses PayPal regularly visits on its customers.
I'm not the OP, but I couldn't care less if anyone burns a bible, or a cross, or a picture of jesus. I can't imagine ANY of my Christian friends getting up in arms about it either. I really can't imagine there being enough people who would get offended to flood the streets like we have seen with the Muslims. Those people just need more to do with their days, frankly.
There is a second explanation for South Park, actually, and it's in fact the correct explanation. Sensationalism. They self-censored, and then mocked up a fight over it so they could get coverage in other media, and increase their viewership.
This has got to be up there in the competition. Doesn't layout a summary of the article. Offers an opinion about some piece of software I've never heard of. No hint of whether or not there's a proposed solution. Bizarre.
Yeahhh... right. I'll invest my time writing a complete player implementation when I could contribute to open standards like html5. Let me know when they open-source the code to their flash player.
That's depressing if true. The performance of flash is truly atrocious. At least with an open source stack you have the hope that a competent performance engineer will have a look at some point, with flash there's no hope, because such a person would have to agree to work for adobe.
Yes, that is clearly the case... I think we have about 10% left over dot-com-bubblers who can't code their way out of a paper bag, and, unfortunately, only about 6% unemployment.
Years of work experience, in answer to your question. And while most employers want max work for least cost, mine at least wants the highest quality work they can get for a fair cost.
Yes, well, the 55mph limit was adopted in the 70s, during the gas crisis. The pool of cars they based their estimate on was probably considerably different from the car you're driving today, which is the problem with laws that don't expire by default, rather than continue by default.
I made no statement regarding the $75000. I refuted only the zero sum game. Someone becoming richer does not require someone becoming poorer. Most of the remainder of your claims I have no issue with.

So I don't care about my heirs when I'm making economic decisions today?

Slashdot is a US centric site. By default, all discussions are assumed to be US-centric.

They keyword there is Luxembourg. What everyone cares about is whether or not they operate as a US-based bank.
Probably because in many cases they can't find a better solution.
Hah. I suggested paypal had serious problems in another thread and got jumped on by some paypal engineer. Bet he's enjoying this thread!
Seriously mod, troll? Who exactly am I trolling?
First one obviously yes, second one obviously no.
See if you can puzzle out the obvious difference.
So they'd basically be unplugging the KKK then? Hooray?

Actually, they did, and concluded Fort Gay does not exist.
They'd better, or by God I'll go over there and finish what the Revolutionary war started!

True, but offshoring comes with a different set of costs and consequences (and laws). One fix at a time.
Apparently, since that ad doesn't make any sense your way either. It's asking for experience that doesn't exist.

It would make sense to the people that argue that H1Bs are holding down wages.
