It is fair use, but that's only good for the Americans. Of course dubya is only interested in exporting the restrictions to the rest of the world, not the rights ("rights exports" are only for those with oil). So we get the DMCA, and all of your evil copyright extensions, without the fair use provisions. Hoorays!
Like I said, the original is better written and includes the supposition that the warden will pick randomly, but without malice so it will eventually even out, and you have to assume the king/warden won't interfere, or the answer becomes mu.
It's a terribly written version of the "warden and his prisoners" problem, which you can google. The only difference other than confusing language is the original problem has two on/off switches, and each prisoner must flip one, rather than one that can be left alone.
*Spoiler* Don't read the following if you don't wanna know the answer:
1) The prisoners elect one of their own to be a counter, the rest we will call non-counters.
2) When a non-counter comes into the chalice room, if he can he will put the chalice right side up. If it's already right side up, he'll leave it alone. However, each non-counter will only do this once. If he's already flipped it in the past, and it's upside down, he'll leave it upside down.
3) Every time the counter comes in, he checks the chalice. If it's upside down, he'll do nothing. If it's right side up, he'll flip it, and add one to his count. Once he's flipped it n times (n being the prisoner count), he knows everyone has done it. If the original state of the chalice is known, the problem can be modified so he only needs to flip it n-1 times.
And that's where they'll go. The real reason they won't open source RISC OS is they know first thing will be porting to x/86, and for some reason (like so many oss developers) they're absolute pouting little girls about that point.
I felt I should step in with some explanation on the Neo-pegan regligion. The basis of the neo-pegan faith is that we are all beings borne of the heavenly plastic basket, but are cast upon the backyard of sin at birth.
We strive to live by the 3 washing tenets:
1. Thy levis shalt be hanged waist-bottom, lest the water of sin descend thy pant-legs and lengthen thy drying.
2. At all times should the tshirt thy soul be hanged outside-in, for the unholy light shall fade thy good.
3. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife's panties.
It is believed that if we live good and holy lives, we will eventually ascend onto the holy hills hoist and forever bask in the blessed breeze of drying.
Hell no it's not. I had to move from google back to outlook because I was rapidly approaching my space limit. Some of us get a lot of mail. Of course had google let me send them $20 for another 5 or 10 gb I'd still be a customer...
And that's what's wrong with the world. So you don't care that you wanted something, paid what you thought it was worth, and got exactly what you asked for. You're mad coz somebody else got more. Am I the only person who was 8 years old when I came to the realisation that some people get more, and to get over it? There's always someone who makes more than you for doing less. There's always someone who can eat what they please and never gain a kilo while you stress out about that pie and your waistline. That's just life. If you let your happiness be tied to something you can't effect, and that doesn't affect you in any other way, you're destined to be an unhappy bastard all your life.
Bullshit. This is exactly what RMS wants. He wants people to have to give away the source for any web app you use that is based on gpl (3) code. He hates the fact you can get linux, add to it, and farm out the services you create via the web without giving away your source. That is the only reason for GPL 3. to stop the people using the license he's been preaching for a dozen years and charging people for the software while not giving source to go with it. You may agree with him or not (I choose not coz he's a flaming nut) but don't pretend that's not what he's angling for.
That's exactly what they'll do. If you want high definition video out of Windows Vista, you need to use the copy-protected output, cables, and rendering devices. That's a fact. Once people are used to it, they'll do the same with audio. And sure, you guys will all use XP, or linux... Until you want to play WOW2...
Ok children, let's see you put your hands up if you know what the depleted in depleted uranium means? Depleted uranium is unhealthy, in the same way lead is (don't eat the shit) but don't pretend you're going to get keel over handling it or being around it.
That's the point, nobody wants you to be able to make your rank higher in google. If your site is good, people will link to it, and its ranking will go up. Jebus!
Like most people out there in the real world who are older than 18 and into tech stuff, I have a big screen, excellent picture quality, has-ten-more-years-on-it sony trinitron. Why the fuck should I pay an extra $40 for my revolution so you can feel better about being suckered into buying a tv that serves only to hilight the dodgey compression in modern broadcasts and dvd?
Regular resolution plus FSAA will sure as hell beat the pants off a high resolution, no AA display that runs at half the FPS whenever there's some action, just so you can brag to your mates about your HD tv.

I understand.... I'd be upset if my music collection was full of Paul McCartney too.
And here's me outside drinking XXXX in the pool every new year....
Blow me, it was bush that made it perfectly clear he'd bankrupt our farmers if we didn't implement your idiotic IP laws.

If by barely skirting you mean breaking, and writing mr Jackson a huge check every month, then yes!
Jesus christ man she's like 14. Dirty pricks.

No on, I believe you are watching the wrong pornos... he seems to be watching the good ones.

That would be funnier if it were true. Applesoft basic took the first 5 or so characters into account. Certainly not two.
Pegasos would be great, except they don't offer anything less than like 2-3 years old in the CPU department.
I'm sure I'll get it for this in here, but eclipse is a big, slow, horribly monstrosity. Long live InjelliJ Idea!
Gestures make menus obsolete.
Anybody caught uttering a statement like this should be banned from even using the word usability.

What do you expect when none of us want to pay for it, and we block the non-content ads?
Maybe they mean local days, not earth days? Ie, it orbits at a regular old speed, and just turns really slowly?
Suck shit.
