"critics question whether Google has an efficient process for managing innovation"
Let that shit rattle around your head for a minute.
"an efficient process for managing innovation"
What a soul-sucking string of words that is. There mere existence of those words in that order is an affront to the true spirit of creative, explorative and _innovative_ thought. I certainly hope to fucking God they don't have any such thing.
I'd bet money that half of you people who see nothing wrong with MS capitulating to the totalitarian desires of China bashed the shit out of IBM for it's activities during WWII.
In a statement RSF (Reporters Sans Frontiers) said: "The lack of ethics on the part of [Microsoft] is extremely worrying. Their management frequently justifies collaboration with Chinese censorship by saying that all they are doing is obeying local legislation.
"Does that mean that if the authorities asked Microsoft to provide information about Chinese cyberdissidents using its services that it would agree to do so, on the basis that it is 'legal'?
"We believe that this argument does not hold water and that these multinationals must respect certain basic ethical principles, in whatever country they are operating," it said.
You don't pay unless you sell. If I grow tomatoes on my property and sell them, I pay taxes on the proceeds of the sale AND I still pay taxes on the property.
It's not risk free however. How many people are going to not buy from them now and how many others are now going to badmouth them when their name comes up? More of the latter than the former I'm sure, but together they definitely make the 'cost' of that letter a hell of a lot higher than just the cost of the lawyer.
Actually there was once a discussion panel of well known molecular biologists, organic chemists and the like, centering on what likely form extraterrestrial life would take. Their conclusion was that if life did in fact originate extraterrestrially, to us it would likely be unrecognizable as being a life form at all. I will continue trying to find a reference for this.
Your anger is misplaced. From the quote in the summary, it seems the person responsible for the 'spin' is Cryptoz, not InformationWeek OR/. The quote in the summary does not appear in the InformatioWeek article.
Also check out the Macpower M9 units. They have active cooling and will be sold sans drive, something the Micronet people have explicitly stated they will not do and which will likely make the M9 a better deal overall.
Actually the definition of 'alarmist' is someone who raises FALSE alarms. So no, Stallman is not an alarmist.
alarmist (-lärmst) n.
A person who needlessly alarms or attempts to alarm others, as by inventing or spreading false or exaggerated rumors of impending danger or catastrophe.
You are assuming an even migration percentage. Realistically I'd suspect it's going to be more like 20% (or more) of Linux mono-dedicated devs ultimately ending up developing on Windows (for use of Visual Studio alone, if for no other reason (another big reason being 'assemblies' that don't exist under Linux)) and 1% of Windows.net devs moving to Linux. And half to two-thirds of that 1% moving back when they find can't use their favorite special 'assemblies' and have no equivalent to Visual Studio. Net loser: Linux. No pun intended.
Bullshit. The GPL only prohibits taking open software, closing it and selling it as your own with no source available. You are free to use GPL libraries in your proprietary code without releasing your code, and to sell your closed code. Try again.
1 - The interface/widgets suck badly 2 - The find function crashes the app consistently (for me anyway) 3 - I have to set LANG=C in my/etc/profile or it won't run at all, not sure what this breaks as it is supposed to be iso-8859 or something
"Can you give me an example of something that is eye candy without serving as a visual cue?"
Transparent drop-down/pop-up menu backgrounds. Due to the transient nature of those kind of menus, having them be transparent is useless. Now in WindowMaker on the other hand, it could be useful for pinned menus.
The files aren't 'illegal' in and of themselves. If I understand things correctly (except in Norway, apparently), someone who paid for an album can download it legally. This is why the courts ruling is bullshit and needs to be stricken, overturned or whatever.
After poking around some more, anon CVS access from SF is active and appears to have both client and server source. I still think the licensing sucks though!:)
I see no client source code anywhere and it doesn't look like the server code is ever intended to be released. There are no files on the Planeshift.it pages themselves or on the SourceForge pages linked to from that site under the 'How to download source' section of the 'Sources' page. More ominously, one glance at their licensing page reveals that this is absolutely NOT a true open source project and anybody expecting to derive another project from it can forget it.
Doesn't fucking stop it from fucking polluting popular fucking culture and fucking spawning a fucking generation whose primary fucking reference when they fucking hear the fucking title will be fucking Burton's fucking crock-o-despair rather than the simply slightly fucking weird fucking original fucking movie.

You see, there is this thing called ETHICS:

MySQL was a bad example: http://www.mysql.com/network/support.html
JSP sucks. Check out Velocity at the very least.
Chess isn't a sport. A game and a sport are not the same thing. Goodbye to some karma for this one I'm sure.

"The "right" to break the law without having someone look over your shoulder?"
In a nutshell, yes. Reason being that 'they' shouldn't be looking over my shoulder all the damn time _to begin with_.
So I'm only allowed a backup copy of a work I've paid for only if I make it myself? Bizarre.

Iraq/Saddam had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11.
The submitter has it backwards. And it is actually MORE sobering that EA has over 6x the market cap of News Corp than if it were the other way around.
There's this little concept of "the punishment should fit the crime", otherwise we're back to chopping off hands for stealing apples.
