Out of curiosity, I fired up my Azureus BitTorrent client let a few peers connect and ran the IP addresses through traceroute and on a Comcast connection I got nothing, all of the traces timed-out because Comcast has blocked them, and Comcast was one of the companies working with Pango to develop a BT client that selects low hop peers first.
There are different type of power plants, some are very economical but take a long time to come on line or change output levels, these are called baseload plants; other plants cost much more to operate but can come online quickly and change power levels almost instantly, they are called peaking plants. On peaking plant we have locally that can cold-start in 15 minutes!
Usually the poles in a car alternator have enough residual magnetism to self-excite and once the alternator is generating power it will be difficult to determine if the field current is from the grid or from the alternator.
Another point is if you've got a perfectly operating uncertified cut-out switch and a highly viable wind-genaerator and the guy down the street has a totally FUBARed, certified cut-out swtch that fries a lineman off a generator that nobody knows about, whos going to get sued?
no idea about the sale but the point is, continued GPL fork development wouldn't filter back into the non-GPLed product of which the developement from Reiser will probably stagenate,
there could be some expenses they incur from the process of collecting tax The point is it is work, and it incurs expenses for a business, I have to make the records, maintain the records for 7 years, submit quarterly reports, some states are monthly to which errors could be prosecuted as perjury or receive civil fines penalties and interest. At least with a physical presence I'm receiving the same services as any other business such as Police and Fire protection, education for my and my employees kids etc; but as a foreign corporation I get nothing in return for my efforts. Or are you implying that a state's citizens are a chattel of the state and that a business should pay for accessing them?
People that avoid paying taxes are actually stealing from everyone else in the State that now has to make up for the shortfall. Like it or not, it all comes down to one word - GREED. I'm sure we'll see hundreds of posts here on how this or that is illegal or unconstitutional, but like I said - it still all boils down to GREED - gimme, gimme, gimme - In money we trust! Some would say that it is unconstitional and a violation of the 13th Amendment against Slavery.
Technically it the USE portion of the sales-use taxes that would be collected by Amazon, so here's a delema, My mother in NY loves books so I buy her one for her birthday from California and have Amazon ship it to her in NY, so who pays the use tax to NY?
Firstly The question is whether the vendors must collect those taxes on behalf of the state. Generally, only those companies that have a physical presence, such as an office or store, in the state of the purchase are required to collect the taxes. By have a physical presence in NY, I'm deriving benefits from the state; Amazon without a physical presence in NY receives no state benefits and should not have to work as the states agent withput consideration. Secondly Amazon's legal obligations are dependent on the actions of a third party over which it has no contract or control. It would be like the county tax assessor telling your your property taxes will increase 25% on sunny days! Thirdly NY is the poster child for it's mishmash of sales tax laws, my understanding is that you can be liable for state, county, and municipal sales taxes in some places of NY, the chief obstruction to a coherrent, unified national state sales tax system is NY
I'm not that sure it's all her work, the difference in style, tone and pace of the last four books is so different from the first three I wouldn't be surprised if she reviled that the studio screenwriters ghostwrote them; which might explain the vigorous defense worthy of a MPAA member. The first three were simple juvenile plots and each a story pretty much independent of the others, you could read or watch any with out the others without lose of context. The last four were serial with numberous plots intertwineing, if you wanted to read number 6 alone you'd be completely out of context and have to go back and get the earlier books or movies.
More likely you find trilobites on the moon, it would take a really big splash to send them all the way to Mars! the Moon would just have to slurp up some that made it to orbit. Finding Martian life on Earth is more plausible than finding Earth-life on Mars because the gravity-well is much shallower on Mars and that messy stuff is more likely to happen closer to the asteroid belt.
He's got Sagan-itis, the irrational fear that because he failed to get ET to call us, every civilization is doomed. Actually it wouldn't surprise me to learn that manned spaceflight is basically impractical. So far we've gotten to our moon, but we haven't been there long enough to live through one magnetosphere passage, let's talk about lunar colonies after we're sure one day doesn't include an ant-bully with a magnifying glass frying us. Next on the agenda is Mars, yet the radiation doses in the six month passage to Mars, pretty much means that if the astro/cosmonauts want any kids they'd better have them before the trip!
So if we want to go interstellar and want to go fast, that means using a Bussard Ramjet which should work yet any occupant would be exposed to not only many years of cosmic radiation, but additional radiation from the fusion reactor in the ramjet as well as synchrotron radiation from the hydrogen getting captured by the scoop. This still means anyone would be fried and infertile long before they got anywhere interesting.
That's what always bothered me, I could place 4 MB of random noise into a file and name it as if it were a copyrighted RIAA work and I'd get a letter. Now at least their toadies have to actually down load the file made "available" and then would have to comfirm it's what the title of the file purports it to be. Magic 8 ball says a lot of decoy file are going to appear on P2P networks now!
I just do not see any scenario where Reiser can defend the GPL for his code. I assume that Namesys is the legal owner of the code and Reiser is the owner of Namesys. There shouldn't be any limitations on Namesys's rights because Reiser got convicted. I may be possible for the court to seize Reiser's share of the Namesys profits to reimburse the state for his room and board.
The prosecutor would be laughed out of court without (1) the body, (2) the murder weapon, (3) any _relevant_ evidence, (4) any witness... same here but Reiser insisted on testifying, if he had kept his mouth shut he'd be a free man now. A big ego can be a terrible handicap.
120 kph is very fast (for a train), 73MPH for the metric impaired, 160KPH is a bit faster. If I had to bet a donut against a donut hole, I'd say the reason the diesel is 25 MPH slower than the electric is because the rails it runs on were designed to a 120KPH speed limit. Both could probably go even faster if saftey and economics weren't concerns.
It just isn't refined enough to be legally edible, it's a tariff law detail. Basically it's one notch below turbino sugar which people are paying a premium for.

Yahoo is already raped, form what I understand the headhunters have already walked off with any talent worth having.

If the phone calls expect to an elected official or a lawyer are listened to and recorded, can you imagine the resistance to an internet connection?
ReiserFS is just the thing to put /etc on, lots of small text configuration file is the sweet-spot for ReiserFS.
the embedded folks using the non-GPL'ed version of ReiserFS are the one that should be shitting bricks now.
The prosecutor would be laughed out of court without (1) the body, (2) the murder weapon, (3) any _relevant_ evidence, (4) any witness...
same here but Reiser insisted on testifying, if he had kept his mouth shut he'd be a free man now. A big ego can be a terrible handicap.
Why would any nerdy ego-maniacaly hacker believe that anyone else could do as good a job as he could?
only if he had sex with your best-friend, a self-confessed serial murderer.
We'd have watched a slow=speed chase on national television
if a person were legally incompetent, their guardian probably could prevent them from testifying
