imo, if bush gets four more years, the fiscal uncertainty he brings with him will trigger a market crash. On the order of 1929, not relatively mild like 1987.
Do you really believe that there will be no fallout from these decisions down the road?
IMO the only way that outsourcing (as it currently is done) can be profitable is to ignore the long term effects of decreased QOS, the deleterious effects of eliminating those salaries from our economies and the inevitable decrease in GDP, not to mention the fact that these decisions make people HATE the decision makers and that hurts sales.
From the state of their site, it looks like the company is still viable. It's an indictment of the US system that Rambus wasn't involuntarily dissolved and its officers punished, either by the courts or by their shareholders
There is absolutly nothing wrong with smoking magic mushrooms - you get the psilocybin buzz much faster, although its weaker and tastes nasty. Next time you do some, eat 3/4 and smoke 1/4 (of a gram or whatever).
after reading your link, i think matrix's point about download saturation was and is insightful ...as was yours, although the belligerence made it hard to wade through
With the potential for essentially limitless solar energy on the moon, wouldnt it be possible to look into extracting the oxygen and hydrogen and whatnot from the existing rock as well as from asteroid and meteor detrius? If you're going to spend billions over many years, why not look into some kind of non self-sustaining elemental fusion since the energy requirements are so easily provided
I recently switched to a PS/2 optical and found I needed my old mousepad on the shiny white painted table I was using. I changed to an old metal office desk with a jet black resin surface and the mouse works flawlessly without the annoying pad.
The concept of how and why applying traditional patent methods to the software industry has been a slashdot staple for some time now. What has been missing in these discussions is a viable alternative. Since OSS cannot avail itself of other traditional methods of securing authorship/ownership, (eg. the GPL and its available source requirements make trade secret protections moot).
What methods could be used to honour the intent of these protections? (eg. reasonable profit for the innovator or their delegate)
