Surely that would depend on whether or not they are building a road directly from his house to the pr0n shop expressly for the puprose of enabling his visits? That's what internet access is.
At the local level your vote has more leverage to defend your personal interests. By the time you reach the congressional level, we're all basically powerless to defend ourselves against the interests of idiots.
You're making an assumption that leaving the device overclocked at that level won't leave it burnt out after 3 months of use. If AMD can't guarantee that the processor will _continue_ to function for a long time at that level, they'd have to deal with all the warranty returns.
It's more like having the police post a notice that a crack manufacturing plant is in your building. 'There is a crack manufacturing plant in the basement of this building, and the building management has refused to allow us entry to shut them down.'
You have to remember that in this hypothetical, the police don't have any entry powers. They're powerless to actually enter the building without the owner's permission. So there isn't any way for them to shutdown the crack manufacturing plant without the owner's help.
Now some people will choose to stop doing any business with the building, affecting those already inside. If they choose to remain, they are implicitly supporting (by continuing to pay rent) the building managements' decision to support the crack manufacturing plant.
Closer to the actual point i've tried to make, maybe you should have inquired of the building's management whether or not they supported crack manufacturing plants _before_ you moved in. After all, crack manufacturing plants are a widespread problem, everyone knows they are a chronic problem, but if everyone would be sure to ask (and demand in a contract!) that their building owners refuse to support crack manufacturing plants, the problem would basically be eliminated. So by _not_ doing so, you are (perhaps just by stupidity, but nonetheless you are) supporting crack manufacturing plants. And at least in this country, there is basically no excuse for not doing so: there are numerous very inexpensive buildings in every state and every major city whose management have explicitly declared that they will not tolerate nor support crack manufacturing plants.
I'm sorry, you're trying to claim mpeg-2 isn't trivial? That has got to be the most basic, trivial algorithm on the planet. Throw some DCTs at a wave form expressed as a bitstream. Oooooooooooooh complicated.
The burden of proof should just run the other way. Assume you had the idea independently, and require some proof of breakin/code theft etc to get damages. Criminal law should cover this problem just fine.
Patents worked ok when the average level of education was much much lower and the number of people capable of inventing any given thing was much lower. There are so many inventive people around today it just doesn't make sense to have the system work this way anymore.
not trying to be a spelling nazi, but i think you mean vehemently. you were so far off, it made me think it was a word you learned by hearing, but it's rare enough in usage you might not have seen it in print.
RBLs really are a failure. I don't understand why more people/ISPs don't run tarpits. They're well proven technology, and pretty hard to imagine how to beat.
I find it stunning to see all of these complaints about RBLs from people who apparently consider internet email access vital to their business processes, but have service from only one ISP. Have these people never heard of redundancy????
The expected, desired response to this situation is to go hire a new ISP which _does_ respond quickly to spam complaints. If he and all of his ISP's customers start doing this, his ISP will either improve their spam complaint handling, or go out of business. Eventually all you have left is ISPs who respond quickly to spam complaints.
This is exactly how the system should work. Outraged customers make ISPs perform better.
pffft. You lazy people with your wells. My family treks over 30 miles with 20 camels to the nearest river on a weekly basis to bring home the water we need.
To call this one of the significant advantages of the language is stupid. There have been reformatting editors for all the major languages for over 6 years now. And as others have pointed out, the forced semantic whitespace rules also make translations to other systems not look structured even when they may be.
To counter your point, one might say that the Computer Language Shootout is very valuable, because it requires a particular style of implementation. By doing so, it helpfully requires that a language have good tools, rather than requiring good programmers. We all prefer to use a language with good tools, but hardly any of us have any choice in the matter of working with bad programmers.
To clarify my point, in case the word resources is causing confusion, there is a common need to perform the following activity in games:
(client) note updated object state send state over network
(peer/server) read updated state update object states
If your network system and objects are set up right in C, you can do this in one memory copy. That's impossible in java, it requires at least two and an extra context switch.
It's not obviously insane. There could be a range of gun manufacturer behavior. It could run the gamut from:
Performs psychiatric and criminal background checks before sale.
to:
Walks down the street yelling 'Planning to murder someone? Get your hot freeessssh guns here! Hot fresh guns, right here!'
I'd tend to argue (and I think most people would agree, but I could be wrong) that the latter bears some responsibility for crimes committed with their guns.
Now where you land on gun manufacturers whose actions fall somewhere in between is a matter of judgement, and that's why we have more than one person on a jury (to help reduce statistical anomalies).
There is no work around on java to the memset performance problem. Likewise the read resources problem. If these represent major performance barriers to your application, you cannot use java. Trying to write a high performance game, you'll hit both of these pretty quickly.

Theft yes! Reverse engineering no, of course not.

You find out when you get blacklisted. If you continue to support that colo ....
As gets pointed out in other posts, you are financially supporting a spamming colo, so you are a spamming collaborator.

You made a good choice with clones, it was worse than phantom.
pffft. You lazy people with your wells. My family treks over 30 miles with 20 camels to the nearest river on a weekly basis to bring home the water we need.
To control people's minds, of course. Who wouldn't want to own such a thing?

I've heard and used those expressions. Let me tell you what we mean by them at my company:
Processors are cheap -> it is ok to implement superior features, even if they are more cpu intensive than inferior features.
Memory/Disk are cheap -> it is ok to use a lot of memory or disk to implement a superior feature or a faster algorithm in important parts of the code.
As a result, we make the highest quality, best selling software in our industry.
To clarify my point, in case the word resources is causing confusion, there is a common need to perform the following activity in games:
(client)
note updated object state
send state over network
(peer/server)
read updated state

Unless, of course, you're reading resources over the network (ie basically any multiplayer game, which carmack was describing).
There is no work around on java to the memset performance problem. Likewise the read resources problem. If these represent major performance barriers to your application, you cannot use java.
Trying to write a high performance game, you'll hit both of these pretty quickly.
