Of course, at this current time the world is pretty much run by huge corporations who lobby with millions of dollars to politicians, but soon in the future, laws will be passed, and that problem will be gone.
Unfortunately, this part is pure fantasy. If you want to get in power, you need money. To get money, you need to promise favours/sell out to the people with money. With shitloads of money, enough to spare some on politicians. Thus effectively, the people with shitloads of money are the ones who make policy. The interests of people with [shitloads of money|power] and those of the common man will never coincide. The only way to keep shitloads of money/power and have it mean something, is to make sure the average man has a lot less than you.
Of course thes problems all go away if the people revolt and make sure that the ones who want power never have it.
Well they could use something like the MPL or the APSL.... They allow for third party updates to be merged with the closed-source versions, don't they?
Last year, in Fairfax County, VA -- the local cops went into bars, and breathilyzed the patrons. Anyone who blew over the legal DUI limit was arrested for public intoxication.
Their position has to be understood in terms of the medieval philosophical doctrine of accidental and esstential properties, which in turn derives from platonic idealism. From a modern positivist standpoint these statements are meaningless.
But in 40 years, when organ cloning is widespread, can I clone myself up a nice big g-funk brand(tm) rump steak and hook in? I've always wanted to be able to do that... I guess that probably makes me a little weird:)
ANDY: Which one was Rimmer? RIMMER: (Smiling) Me. ANDY: Ohh, he's amazing, in't he? RIMMER: You can say that again. ANDY: How long did it take you to suss him out, then? RIMMER: Ahh, I had him sussed right from the beginning. ANDY: Really? You found the Captain's message right away?! RIMMER: (Taken back) _What_ Captain's message? ANDY: The one that's hidden in the microdot in the 'i' in Rimmer's
swimming certificate. Well, that's the clue, isn't it? Rimmer having
a swimming certificate and not being able to swim! KRYTEN: That's a clue?! ANDY: It's a blatant clue, isn't it?
Balls to using low-res movies though, I'd like to be able to take 5-6 shots of a scene with my 4.1Mp camera, and have similar software get more details just from the slight movements of the camera in my hands, even if it simply added detail at the same resolution, it'd be awesome technology... Of course the next step would be cameras that do this themselves, with a 32mbish high speed ram buffer to hold several full-res images taken in rapid succession...
Don't use too many caps... It's like shouting. Not that that would be the point in the text "aargh". Hooray for the lameness filter. Don't use too many caps... It's like shouting. Not that that would be the point in the text "aargh". Hooray for the lameness filter.
Somebody was funny in that? Man, maybe it slipped through the editing phase, and I saw the special edition or something where such errors would have been corrected.
Hey! I was that kid! I was poor tho, so I wasn't playing for hours. It was always good to be one of the few white guys who could beat the local asians at street fighter:-)
Why is it even a discussion? Microsoft didn't kill real. Real killed real. Because their product sucked balls, assaulted your computer, and produced terrible tiny low-quality video and awful sound. And microsoft didn't kill quicktime. Quicktime's doing just fine, thankyou. I don't know about you guys, but I don't use DRM video files, but I do use windows media player because it's easy to use, doesn't look stupid in some horrible skin (not from the factory at least), and.wmv files have a decent quality/size ratio. And I sure as hell don't want MS or anybody else putting realplayer anywhere near my computer.
EPROM is not flash, EPROM needs physical interaction to be erased, you peel off a sticker and shine a black light into a little window for a while to wipe. Flash is a form of EEPROM (electro-erasable PROM)
Will somebody please mod the parent down? I'm fucking sick of seeing it, and seeing it modded up every time there's a remotely IP related story posted to/.
Ethanol takes energy to make. Lots of energy, possibly more than it contains.
Yes... possibly... We call that one the second law of thermodynamics.
Ethanol isn't supposed to be a source of energy, merely a better way to store it than petroleum or hydrogen (for now). The only source of energy is fusion or fission, wether done here or inherited from the sun.

You're right, even windows can't do it... It should be simple, there should be 3 choices:
a)Printer is connected to this computer
b)Printer is connected to another computer on the network
c)Printer is plugged into the network or is wireless
Then the world would be a happier place.... I wish OSS people would talk to designer people before / during designing their interfaces.

Wow, this intrigues me. Anybody got a link?

Sweet as, I'll try that out tonight when I get home from work, cheers!
Am I the only one in here who's become conditioned to not click on any link with the word "goats" in it?

Help out on the mono support in #develop (www.icsharpcode.net) and you'll get your wish :)
Erm, they get some money when you buy a cassette, wether you're using it for priated music or not... And soon they'll get it for cds as well.

how does the machine know it's money?
This came up lst time this was asked here. The detection is based on a pattern of circles, hidden/featured in most notes of most currencies.
And then he was like beep beep beep?
Bummer.
