WTF are you on about? Your link doesn't back up what you seem to be implying, and except for some racers and professional mechanics, I've probably worked on more cars, trucks, tractors, and motorcycles than 99% of the people on Slashdot.
Again, there are plenty of automobiles for which one can work on the entire circuit, custom program EEPROMs and various other activities. Hell, there are more advanced vehicles available that use vacuum and centrifugal advance for ignition timing and carbs for fuel metering. The VW Beetle is a quaint relic that should be relegated to the scrapheap.
It didn't have a radio. (That I saw: I was looking over his shoulder.) The main reason he was so into it was precisely because he could fix everything on it -- and he did, too. He had a lot to say about why people shouldn't own anything they couldn't fix, and about how nice it was to be able to walk down to the corner auto shop and get most all the parts he needed to repair or replace anything on the Beetle.
Sounds like his time was past if he couldn't own a car any more advanced than a 42 year old Beetle and be able to work on it.
Even if your strategy wasn't impractical, what would make you think that Google would want to make Java public domain?
Google, for all their recent goofs, still believes in making things available - grow through acceptance and use of technology, rather than standing over customers and developers with a fee schedule and a large club.
We did, in '74. Worked pretty good for less than a decade, then Reagan got elected, and within a second decade, all of the people involved in Watergate were back in their offices, almost as if nothing happened.
That's complete bullshit, and you know it. Only Rumsfeld was back in the same office. The other guys got promotions.
No. This is a fiction that even the Supreme Court encourages (for obvious reasons). The Supreme Court does not have the authority to declare more power for the Federal government than laid out in the Constitution. This was made abundantly clear to the states prior to ratification of the Constitution. In fact it was a condition that some of the states insisted upon before they would ratify.
That's not the false claim. He says "DC as part of the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation", which is arguably false. Commodore64love appeals to the authority that is wikipedia to put to rest an argument that has been ongoing since the release of the DC. Date of release is not the sole arbiter of what generation a console is a part of.
No. Let Hasbro build a frickin' monument. I 'paid' for it over the years by buying D&D and AD&D stuff. He was a businessman. Now that he is dead, our business is concluded.
I suggest this documentary about Rupert Murdoch. It covers at least some of the story about his relationship with China, but doesn't cover the Saudi issue mentioned at the end of your post.
BTW wikipedia lists the DC as part of the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation. It was released four years after the PS1, one year ahead of PS2 and two years ahead of GC and Xbox.
If you're going to use the failed 'appeal to authority' approach in an argument, you should at least use an 'authority', not, you know, wikipedia.
Slashdot Mirror
Just to be pedantic, Obama won a Nobel prize. They named it after a guy. He didn't get the prize for being particularly noble.
Also, they gave the prize to a terrorist one time.
They did it at least twice.
and just where are you going to go exactly?
Galt Gulch?

Bob Pease is also the author of the book "How to drive into accidents - and how not to".
Those who can, do; those who can't...

Yeah, like SketchUp Pro.
And like I implied, Lincoln wadded the Constitution in 1861, and every president since has been using it as toilet paper.
The Egyptians had also such a storage facility.
In 48 BC Julius Caesar accidentally burned down the library of Alexandria.
Accident? I bet you believe it was 20 hijackers who brought down the WTC also.

You thought the guy in office was a thug, so you voted for a Chicago machine politician hoping the thuggery would stop?
You don't know much about politics if you think that machine thuggery is limited or particularly noteworthy in Chicago.
Enough (of the right) lawyers and you get to modify reality.
Hell, my ex-wife only needed one (three if you count my lawyer and the judge) to bend the reality that she isn't a good mother.

This is pre 4/12 thinking.
Wasn't a knife used in the murder?
Shhh. It's all just part of the Chewbacca Defense.
He did what most murderers don't do: STFU (eventually) and hired God's own defense team.
It's the Hegemon all the way down...
I can't be bothered because it is a discussion of old video game systems. Who gives a shit?
(Further, the link to Steven Kent of GameSpy/IGN isn't particularly authoritative either.)
Where the fuck is West Richland?

Yes, but did he win the game?

So what kind of games are these? Never heard of any of those titles.
I think the OP means he hasn't seen it used to describe (in clinical terms) a condition or treatment, he hasn't seen them used to issue orders, etc.
