Dude, calm down.. Its called a first job. He won't be making the same pay the rest of his life.
BTW, renting versus owning is no longer such an obvious choice either. In many places in this country you will throw away $1000+ a month simply on interest, taxes and insurance, not to mention maintenance. Often its wiser to spend that $1000 on a decent apartment then sock the extra you would be paying in principal into a good investment. Possibly real-estate even, but not necessarily your real-estate. It all depends upon where you live in the market.
The best argument against perpetual copyrights is this.
Assume there is no government, You could potentially protect your physical property, it might be more difficult, but possible. You could in no way hope to protect intellectual copyright once more then a few people outside your circle have seen it, so you have two choices, don't sell it to anyone and keep it, sell it to people and risk it being stolen with no chance of control.
In comes government, they offer several deals, in exchange for taxes they will help you protect your physical property (though you have to do your part as well). For free your government is also helping to protect your copyright, but for a limited amount of time. At which point you will be expected to release it to the public. Want to change these rules, don't use US copyright, write your own license and hire your own goons to protect it. Good luck with that!
Good point, infact even if an extremely honest guy wins and becomes President in 2008 (unlikely) the simple fact is the President has very little real power. Most of his actual power is thought the party. If for instance some of the guys running on income tax reform and smaller government won, there is a high liklyhood that all of congress would just ignore him for 8 years and nothing would happen whatsoever. Though a government passing no laws is a good things.
My idea to fix everything, 4/5 vote to pass any new law, 1/3 vote to throw out any old law (has to be the entire voted law, not individual lines).:) Because realistically the federal government should only be involved in those things that nearly everyone agrees it should be involved in, otherwise leave it up to local
Not true, individual pirates often do suffer the effects. Its just that there are too many of them. Imagine us saying we want to wipe out jaywalking but with only enough enforcement to catch 1 out of every million or so...
When you press a big button, the button is pressed, letting go confirms it, this is true of existing interfaces. When you press a small button a copy of what is under your finger is displayed in a circular window above or to the left or right (if your on an edge above won't always work) You can see what your finger is pressing exactly in this window, and then you can let go to confirm.
Unless your talking about a really big fing bomb (which these terrorist generally don't use and if they had wouldn't need cellphones etc to use) the blast range is a few feet at best. Meaning it will receive the jamming long before there is anything interesting to blow up.
A judge isn't supposed to be a peer, the jury is. They should request a trial by jury is they are wooried about impartiality. Now if its some sorta non jury, secret terrorist trial, then I'd agree. The judge is simply supposed to be impartial and understand the law.
That doesn't mean the judge doesn't understand publishing media in general. It might be hard to understand how to use a computer but being shown printed versions of websites and explaining how anyone can view them or publish them is fairly clear.
The catch is the fact that the more expensive premium editions are accounting for 78 percent of their sales. The people who don't want Vista aren't buying the premium editions.
As article one problem where the partition manager during installation (its very unclear as to what its doing, I know personally that I went and found another partition manager myself as the one that comes in the installer implies it won't adjust partition sizes, though this article implied it did.. I'm confused).
Besides that the only "problems" are small problems with drivers, fonts, and third party software.
Hmm, I'd be willing to bet mobile phones "could" have voice quality of "hear a pin drop" thing is especially when your dealing with spectrum every bit cost. The cellphone providers know what level of service the average customer wants, and thats what they provide, if they provided more it would cost them more and yield very little profit. There may be a market though for higher quality calls. Some kinda system where you pay extra if you want the higher quality. I don't know if anyone offers such a service, but its a novel idea. I bet if you tell them you need to hookup a dialup modem to it and offer to pay more they will bump up your quality.
China has and would block google.* addresses. This doesn't mean its citizens would be upset (they might mildly be, but they are used to these sort of things) it simply means they would just go and use yahoo or someone else. Google when it comes to towing the the line in terms of China is the least cooperative, Yahoo turns over IP addresses and such at Chinas request at the drop of a hat. Google figures just being available in China and being better in comparison to Yahoo is "being good".
Because for average Joe, its not about total payout, its about monthly cost. That $15K will run you maybe $100 a month extra for a 30 year loan. Depending upon where you live you will save much more than $100 a month in electricity.
15K added upfront to the cost of a California home if virtually nothing. Problem of course is you need to put some money aside to pay for the eventual replacement, but in 10 years solar should be cheaper.
It's the first instantiation that matters.. Applets are so uncommon that the average user will only come across them once per reboot.
And thus it really depends upon how this is used. If its used deep into a page say for something like an online word processor, where you know and expect to be waiting, versus a homepage which you expect to open instantly. Really its up to the developers to use it where it makes the most sense. Sadly few do.
Strangely enough human, as well as most animals herding instincts are programmed towards others that are working for the same goal. So in reality its very much instinct to consider an opponent worthless wither they are similar to you are not. Our brains simply don't work this way.
Mozilla is a not-for-profit. They never intended upon making money, at least not originally. And the money they do make has to go back into development.
In general open source apps have made money from support, or else they were commissioned from the start. Also, some companies need special in house apps and they don't care if other companies benefit from their work, and can often get cheaper pricing from open source developers than closed source ones)
The offending bit was. "WashingtonWatch.com provides a more user-friendly and interactive way for the public to learn about legislation than the Library of Congress' THOMAS site. It's all about government transparency."
Sorry, but its still legal to say that Nike provides a better running experience than Reebok (assuming its true).
The Library has no trademark ground to stand on, BUT they have extra Federal Statute protecting their name. When did it stop becoming a government "of the people"??
Yea, buts its not stored content, its simply regurgitating what you just typed. If for some reason other users could view your searches, then it would be comparable.
That was quite possibly the stupidest thing I've seen in years. For those not clicking the link, its a picture of the site local search engine saying "Sorry your search for 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 was not found."

Na article said 2^20 (well the 20 was superscript) commenter just copypasted lazily.

Yea there were days when nations would go to war over just a few billion. But now it has to be at least a trillion.
Understood as the cost of war itself in in the hundreds of billions a year, so you do risk losing your investment if the war goes on too long.
Did ANYONE Watch the fing video.

Because slashdot has sold out!!
Actually slashdot uses some dynamic ads that simply trust the ad provider won't do shit like that. The admins here will fix it soon I bet.

Apparently from adclick revenue. They get money from google when you use the google search bar next to the url bar.
