The ability to monitor the government is a necessary foundation for free and open society. It is not a second "wrong", it's a fundamental right that has been increasingly trampled upon.
Except the GPL has a posse, and GPL violations generate far more publicity than just some guy getting ripped off. Corporations are scared of it for a reason.
Copyright clauses are hardly a license. If he cares so much about plagiarism that he's now crippling the source, maybe community ownership is preferable to controlling a string with his name in it.
Betraying your country is a capital crime; what do you think we should do to those who betray not only their species, but their entire genetic lineage, their planetary ecosystem, maybe even DNA itself?
We should keep our eyes open and our mouths shut. It's a big universe, and we don't know what's out there, or how long it's been there before us.
This idea is a stretch. Zaitsev is more or less free to "speak" to anyone he chooses.
Indeed. Why don't you open a dialog with China/Russia/Iran about whatever you observe going on at whatever military base you live nearest to. I'm sure your right to "free speech" will be respected.
Just do what I do: pretend the values are expressed in British Pounds. Then everything seems obscenely overpriced rather than just ridiculously expensive, so you never waste your money.
It also helps if you manage to get your balance down to a nice low 10 or 20. Then you'll avoid buying things just so you'll never again get trapped in that "oh no, I have points left over!" situation.
Never underestimate how quickly both of those can change.
I'm not saying one should never devote effort into design. Quite the opposite, actually. It's because careful design is so important that you want to do the cheap and easy part first - writing code. A prototype will save you many headaches later on.
Design time is wasted time. People don't know what they want, and they won't make meaningful decisions until they have something running in their hands.
The Register before: Wikipedia is full of half-truths, lies, propaganda, and poorly written amateur drivel! Strict editorial control is the only way to arrive at The Truth!
The Wiki cabal lets loose the banhammer on people who create multiple accounts to spread half-truths, lies, propaganda, and poorly written amateur drivel.
The Register now: Wikipedia is a totalitarian regime led by a secretive cabal who wants nothing more than to silence The Truth!
Wow, that's a lot of projected anxiety over vendor lock-in. It ain't our fault you bet the farm on IE.
You have absolutely no say in what another company does with their own product offerings.
Actually, every person on this planet has an equal say in what every company does with every product offering. The companies that succeed usually devote considerable effort to listening to them (or, at least, those who are or might be customers).
We live in a country whose government considers torture both moral and lawful. How else do they expect us to condition children to accept that if we don't start early? I mean, it's not like many eight-year-olds watch 24, it comes on after their bedtime.
It is my conservative opinion that you're more likely reprimanded for your presentation rather than content. For what did the mean liberals oppress you?
Of course, if you really want to see how "liberal" corporations are, start talking about unions or salary transparency at work.
When are they going to criminalize it when women post pictures that are five years and 100 pounds out of date? That's the real danger of internet dating sites.
Oh, great and wise Apple guru, what other objects does that action work on? Because so far, I've only found it on the Dock.
And how is my mother supposed to learn this? Right-click is non-destructive (unlike several meta-click combinations on the Mac) and it takes seconds to discover.
The selective delusion of you people continues to astound me. The laptops do not come with a second button. The "right-click" functionality is replaced by a "hold down a meta key and click" functionality. Hell, I just now figured out how to empty the trash by holding down the mouse button for X number of seconds. Oh, that was intuitive. That action doesn't do squat for folders or other objects.
Remove the Gay-Bar® (aka Dock) and put the trashcan back on the desktop Find a Finder replacement more like Explorer Put the minimize button on the side side as the scroll bar (and make it larger) Make the scroll bar not look like a smear of toothpaste with aliasing artifacts Provide a calculator and calendar that stays on top, but does not steal focus or gray every other application, nor disappear the moment I click something else and blunt weapon with the address of whomever designed the Dashboard behavior
Since I'm asking for the sky... Add a second mouse button to the laptops Fix the headphone jack to work with standard headphones Fix the backlight bleeding around the edges of the LCD Fix the horrible viewing angles of the LCD Accept the return of new laptops that come with dead pixels
The Disney movie Ratatouille is already sold with a commercial you can't skip, and the Mac movie player obeys that directive.
With this kind of crap, I'd rather steal the things I want to keep, and rent the things I'm too lazy to bother. What is the point of owning a disc when it is polluted with commercials?
The appeal to the lowest common denominator is destroying everything, because they're too stupid to know any better. That's where the money is. Being sophisticated and affluent counts for nothing these days.

Google's "network effect asset" is called the Internet.
Remember, like television, their customer isn't you, it's the advertiser.

Sure, and it was all fun and games until "The Daily WTF" was forced to rename by the World Trade Federation.

You have no say in what another company does. You only have say over what you purchase yourself.
Indeed, many companies desperately wish that were true.

Well damn, it looks like we need to pass a law to put warning labels on your kid's friends' parents.
We live in a country whose government considers torture both moral and lawful. How else do they expect us to condition children to accept that if we don't start early? I mean, it's not like many eight-year-olds watch 24, it comes on after their bedtime.
But it felt too childish for my tastes (particularly because it seemed aimed for a younger audience).
Out of curiosity, what constitutes a "grown-up" game?
For example, given a fan of Psychonauts and a fan of Grand Theft Auto, which would you consider to more likely be a mature, intelligent adult?
It is my conservative opinion that you're more likely reprimanded for your presentation rather than content. For what did the mean liberals oppress you?

There is no intuitive interface, not even the nipple. It's all learned. - Bruce Ediger
The only "hallmark of a good design" is that it is easy to learn. Everything else is a trade-off between simplicity and expressive power.

Don't you love how Apple can create national commercials dripping with sarcasm, but to the fanboy legitimate criticisms are Flamebait on Slashdot?
Perhaps they didn't like my confrontational in your face attitude. I thought that was hip in marketing circles these days.

I find it amazing that anyone would blindly trust an academic institution with any matter of policy, regarding climate,
And don't forget evolution! Those scientists, with all their theories, undermining honest God-fearing values! Have they ever seen anything evolve? No!
