Great, Slashdot is already agreeing with a man who wrote a book who is ignoring the Nurture in Nature v.s. Nurture. Camouflaging racist statements behind "science" is still racism.
It's really tough to do. If you want to make a for loop, I'd really rather write it than drag the block. Making anything moderately complex is hard to make. I saw one that had multiple types of for, while, ifs and forget nested loops. Variable become hard to keep track of and I felt like I had so many extras. I can't believe anyone actually makes games that way.
If you could change one thing in Java what would it be and are there any criticisms that bother you or you would like to respond to about language syntax or security?
"We know from Galileo that all objects near the surface of the Earth accelerate downward at the same rate," he says. "But you also have to think about air resistance. That's why a bowling ball and a piece of paper don't fall at the same rate. You accelerate at a certain rate, but the force that's pulling you down depends on that number and your mass."
Everyone knows this. But then...
As for rides with steep drops instead of curves, heavier riders do go faster, he says.
Now I am confused. Is this assuming heavy riders have more friction with the slide/water or more air resistance or that Newtonian Physics can suck a fat one?
The Supreme Court has set aside nearly a century of antitrust precedent that condemned minimum resale price maintenance (“RPM”) agreements as illegal without regard for their effect on competition. RPM agreements typically are those in which a manufacturer and its retail customer agree that the retailer will resell the products it purchases from the manufacturer only at or above an agreed price floor. In a landmark 5-4 decision, Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc., 06-480, the Court overruled Dr. Miles Medical Company v. John D. Park & Co., 220 U.S. 373 (1911), and held that the legality of vertical price fixing agreements should now be judged under a “rule of reason” in which courts balance the procompetitive and anticompetitive effects of such agreements on a case-by-case basis. http://winston.com/siteFiles/publications/SupremeCourt_RuleofReason_07_02_07_v3.html
We change laws in America. I know the case is about RPMs but now ALL vertical price fixings are no longer illegal per se
Is there any case where a price floor has been found to be illegal? Apple is providing them with a "service" of advertising and purchasing. They aren't forcing companies to sell their product on the iStore.
The separate pieces of paper is just to clarify that the agreement is between apple and the publisher, not publishers with other publishers and apple because that would be collusion between publishers. Could you please link the witness testifying? Because it sounds like this isn't illegal price fixing.
But they don't fit the definition of cartel. The agreement is not between Amazon and Apple. It's between Apple and someone selling an eBook.. If Apple and Amazon had an agreement, as in a Horizontal price fix, then it would be a cartel.
If I were to have a book on the store, I could prize my book at $20 on Amazon, and if tell apple they can sell it at $25, they have the right to not allow purchases through their store. Im not sure why someone would do that other than the hope people probably blindly buy things without price checking on some sites more than others.
Vertical price fixing pertains to arrangements between a manufacturer, distributor, supplier or retailer. Horizontal price fixing, which would involve competitors colluding to set prices, remains illegal. Courts have held that vertical maximum price fixing, like the majority of commercial arrangements subject to the antitrust laws, should be evaluated under the rule of reason. Therefore, suppliers of goods and services don't necessarily violate antitrust laws by setting maximum prices their retailers can charge.

I don't like Apple, as in refuse to buy their products and services, but this seems like Vertical price fixing which seems fair as this agreement guarantee's Apple prices are fair within the market of that particular eBook.

I like those shows I just see very little to do with that particular show in the article other than OMG AI which is about all the article is, which is very uninteresting.
I never expect end user products to work on anything Linux. Maybe it's narrow minded or pessimistic. I hope you do convince Amazon, but this rant on slashdot is preaching to a choir. Quit giving them your money and do something other than talking to tech/customer support.

Brakes are for squares
I love high contrast and my sports news.
The program is still classified, so it does not exist. Just like drones bombing several countries do not really exist.
How many bombs are being dropped on countries so that they no longer exist?
And I don't want to tell websites I like porn.

Those defaults are hardcoded...The blurb is only kind of misleading.

Never. I do love to make the annoying high pitched "BING" noise though.
I do eat Ding Dongs but not very often. The rest of it, no.
They didn't change the scoring of the letters.
some anti-women and pro-rape pages on Facebook... humorless feminists.
We have different senses of humor.
I saw a video and assumed this was another Slashdot advertisement disguised as a story but surprise! Why all the Wii U hate?

"agreement" among competing firms.
