The upward trend in global temperature has been in place since the end of the last ice age. However the *rate* of that upward trend has increased markedly in line with CO2 emissions.
You might prefer not to infer a link...you might also prefer to stick your fingers in your ears and go "la,la,la I can't hear you".
So let's see Apple Computer thinks its promise not to sell music meant physical media only whereas Apple Records thinks it applies to all music. If only there were some long established (800 years should do it) system of adjudicating such disputes...
They merely allowed other people to copy it under the terms of the licence. If the licence is breached then normal copyright applies. Similarly in the event that you had a line of code included in a project then you would be able to enforce the terms of licence for *your* line of code.
As to the rest, I might agree with your summary but I find the "how dare they compete with us" attitude of the middle bit a little silly.
Well it's only fair - we let you play with the web after one of our lads invented it at CERN (Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire);-)
If you think about it there are reasonable arguments on both sides - since the Internet (Internation Network anyone?) is so important to everybody - the idea of having its oversight by a neutral body isn't completely insane; whereas the argument that it is too important to transfer to an untested body is also very powerful. "We're not going to negotiate" isn't.
...is that the new series of Dr Who is a return to proper Saturday night family entertainment. You know when the whole family sit and watch something together. (My six year old sits on my lap and peeks over my arm at the scary bits - makes me all nostalgic).
Oh and actually on the main story - Christopher Ecclestone is well known in the UK, and *he* asked the head writer for the part. That he didn't run to two series is a pity but since it took 8 months and the second series wasn't actually confirmed until after the first episode went out understandable. He is committed to a Christmas special so that's when to expect the next regeneration.
Anyway, it's back, they'll have trouble getting rid of it a second time and the new Chairman of the Governors has been strangely quiet;-)
No, however the enquiry produced evidence that Campbell had a quiet chat with the head of the JIC about the dossier, who then inserted a number of changes helpful to government policy (and with internal protests from the spook community) completely of his own accord...which was nice of him.
What I thought pissed them off was the claim that they must have known it was bollocks. Which Gilligan didn't have evidence for but which if you stuck the words "unless they were complete morons." on the end, I'd agree with.
ZX-80? Remember it? I've still bleeding got one!...and no it's not for sale, I plan on inflicting it on my kids everytime they get stroppy about their PCs.
Scary as it may seem this is the sort of stuff that social historians *do* want to see - the throw away stuff which is gold dust because throughout history people have actually thrown it away.
Of course most of our 59 million are actually English so perhaps you should refer to "English English"? On the other hand that would sound silly. As a suggestion why not let the English speak "English" and the residents of the US speak "American".
A more rational complaint is that the whole thing reflects the relative staid written rather than the more vibrant spoken form of English.
Partially - they wanted to make sure you could complain about government.
It was also about avoiding a "Church of America" which would have been devisive in the extreme. Remember a large proportion of the original colonists had left Britain because any branch of Christianity other than the established Church (episcopalian in England, Presbytarian in Scotland)was subject to legal restrictions.
In Britain things are slightly different. Have a look at the Bank of England if you don't believe me. To quote:
"...legal tender is not a means of payment that must be accepted by the parties to a transaction, but rather a legally defined means of payment that should not be refused by a creditor in satisfaction of a debt."
My understanding was he was told to keep the interview going as they were running ahead of time so he just went for it. Bloody good laugh though...and they do repeat it suspiciously often.
Weirdly enough he's actually head of the *Labour* Party, and he only managed to get rid of this clause from their constitution in the last 10 years:
"To secure for all the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry of service."
The BBC is the biggest media organisation in Britain and goes regularly goes one on one with governments including our own.
If the "feds" were to ask the BBC not to release it we'd end up seeing one of your politicians getting an unexpected kicking in his next interview. A few years ago a BBC interviewer asked the Home Secretary (in charge of the police, prisons, immigration, "Homeland Security" etc.) the same question *14* times, when he wouldn't answer the question.
I agree with you. The only problem with Small Business Server is client access licences.
Basically your starter kit only allows you to connect 5 people. If you wnat to connect more you need to buy CALs in batches of 5 at (in the UK) £399/time. It can drive the price up very quickly. Especially if you've 11 staff. Sore point.

Go the whole hog, call CdrTaco & Hemos and get the band back together...

"...they automatically forfeit the copyright. "
C'mon you know better than that.

If you believe the local legend it's in a rather nice tomb in Srinigar in Kashmir.

...and this is a problem in what way exactly?
Squeak's license is neither FSF's idea of Free or OSI's idea of Open. Croquet's is *much* nicer.
...never let armed men with lots of money get bored...they just get ideas - big ideas.

er...only if the orchestra were also long dead. Otherwise they would hold the copyright to their performance. Nice try though.
There is a OO.o filter being developed and available for download - by the same project that developed the underpinings of the Abiword one.
