People back in the time of Columbus would have not understood what that Italy of ours is, if you could tell Columbus that he is Italian he would not know what the heck you would be talking about.
That you are claiming that a nonsensical situation would be desirable.
Since we humans can record our achievements we pay homage to people that are original and talented, your comments wish for a situation that is simply against human nature: we prefer innovators to imitators.
If you are going to defend a situation that goes counter all what we humans naturally understand as more valuable you surely don't expect to get a free pass from other people reading your nonsense.
Wishing stupid things is anyone's prerogative, the real world has this nasty habit of behave in ways that don;t conform with our wishes specially if they are bizarre and devoid of any logic.
Authenticity is not a hidden property. A piece of art is either authentic or not, and the authenticity is based in as much documentary evidence as you can possibly gather.
Authenticity is neither imaginary. Either the person claiming to have painted something did, or did not do it, . That is not an imaginary contraption, it is a matter of fact which may or may not be possible to verify.
Although your bizarre point of view may have some merit in a pure philosophical sense, back on earth, in the real world, people value what is scarce, and there are few things as scarce as the produce of talented *and* original people.
You don't like it? Don't buy the real thing, buy the forgeries, the forgers still have no right to claim as theirs the work of people that can actually come with original ideas. Such practice is simply immoral any way you want to slice it.
But they are carefully side stepping the issue, until they get tired of nonsensical attempts of compliance.
If MS keeps doing its stunts the regulators are going to go mental and may take dramatic actions, as they have done with other companies or in mergers and acquisitions...
A browser is firmly in the application space, any serious operating environments make sure that this remains so.
MS has made a muddle of this (and many other things, or can you run a headless MS server?), so lets not change Operating Systems practice, and theory just because some companies have complete disregard of sound Engineering practices....
COBOL handles with ease big volumes of data, because normally the data is organized in a very methodical fashion (more often than not DBMS are the direct replacement of old COBOL systems).
People deriding COBOL for its speed simply don't know what they are talking about.
Copyright protects the creation of original content.
How trying to reproduce something exactly is creative?
The NPG should have in their budget the photography of the paintings without any expectation of holding copyright of the photographs themselves.
They can publish the photographs in as many formats as they wish (books, post cards, calendars, whatever). Those works would certainly be protected by copyright.
So we can point all all the reasonable advice at hand and people that are fat will no practice it, because first they need to touch bottom.
I used to give the same excuses, until I decided enough was enough (i touched bottom).
Then I began exercising. I am not even trying to eat properly, just exercising. I know it is not enough, I am trying to change my diet, but I know that the answers are with me and only me alone.
Yesterday I ran 10km in one hour. Nothing to write to home about. Enough to have stopped me ballooning out of control.
Last year I ran several 10k and one half marathon (2:20 if you must know).
The good news is that you don't have to do all that. 30 minutes a day doing pretty much anything will be enough. Tweak a bit your diet and you will be fine. The problem is that nobody is teaching people how to do this and we have lots of scams around (Atkins diet, I am amazed how many/.ers believe that bullshit).
I have posted some tips about what actually works, proven scientifically, under controlled conditions: soups and liquids, protein, low release carbs if you don't exercise much and low fat diary.
Think about this: I burned around 1200 calories yesterday, after the race I ate a burger with fries (and diet drink). That may well be approximately the same caloric content. So I actually lost weight yesterday once all things are considered.
I know it is not easy, because nobody like to hear one is lazy or weak, but most of us are just that, for those of you that really have underlying problems (like depression or similar affections) I am sorry about you. Still, you could put those trainers and walk around the block...
You could chosse to put some other foods (lots of them by volume, and thus as filling), but the problem is that we are not thought how to do this.
Eat vegetable soups (as much as you like: how much can you realistically have?) with a bit of lean protein (a bit of lean meat of any kind, a handful of nuts, one or two eggs) and a roll of wholemeal bread (witha little bit of olive oil or perhaps cottage cheese).
Those food will not only keep you full, but will tell your brain you are full.
High fat foods is a highway to a painful and early death, but feel free.
The only thing the good Dr got right is that protein suppresses appetite, that is a scientific fact, but the high fat nonsense is hocus pocus.
You also need carbs (it is where you get your energy from), but you can get them from wholegrain bread and rice, sweet potatoes and any other foods with low glycemic index (which release carbs slowly, and thus don't promote cravings).
Eat as much as you want of the right kind of food.
Tell us something, how much soup can you have? Any nice vegetable soup, or perhaps chicken soup.
I reckon that after 2 litters you would be begging not to have more. Well you will have eaten far less calories and you would feel full for longer.
YOu really have to talk to your nutriologist and ask him what science has actually found about food in recent years. Small portions is not the full answer (it certainly may be part of it, it seems like if you eat in smaller plates we tend to eat less).
That does not mean it is wrong for the same reasons, but it is not healthy either way (now please who me somebody with a BMI of 40 obtained only by extra muscle, lets see how the poor bastard looks...)
People that are monitored properly are shown just to be eating too much, not bullshit metabolism excuses.
The problem is that people don't know how to eat (that half kilogram fruit salad in the morning isn't good for you, it is a sugar cocktail with goodness know how many calories).
Facts:
- Protein will make you less hungry (that is the only thing good Dr Atkins got right). Add a bit of protein to each meal (lean meat of any kind, an egg).
- Fact you have to move. Anything will do. But for the life of the bunnies, move! Walk around the block. Go for lunch to a place a bit further away. Go for lunch and take half of your time actually walking. Just move!
- Soups. Soups take longer to digest, and thus you feel full for longer. Half a litre of soup fits the same volume as a serving of fried potatoes, but has far less calories and lasts longer. Make a potato soup with the same amount of potatoes. Take half the amount of french fries, mix them with tomato juice or soup, and enjoy. You will not touch the other half anytime soon.
- Diaries: you will excret more fat if you eat diary products. Skimmed milk and yoghurt, lof fat cheese: you want lots of those for a while.

Italy is a modern state born in the 19th century.
People back in the time of Columbus would have not understood what that Italy of ours is, if you could tell Columbus that he is Italian he would not know what the heck you would be talking about.

If you would do that, eventually you would lose.
If that is the prevailing attitude in MS's HQs I suggest they are playing a game they can't win.
But they are carefully side stepping the issue, until they get tired of nonsensical attempts of compliance.
If MS keeps doing its stunts the regulators are going to go mental and may take dramatic actions, as they have done with other companies or in mergers and acquisitions...
You are muddling what an operating system does with what an user space application does.
Let me put it this way: you need an application to browse the internet out of the box.
Fine, no problem with that.
But your operating system should not need a browser to function (and well Engineered ones don't).
Your operating system controls the resources on your machine so you can run your applications.
In Linux and UNIX that is done elegantly and efficiently.
In other OSes, the users think that a browser is part of the Operating System.....
Don't argue about this please, it simply isn't.
A browser is firmly in the application space, any serious operating environments make sure that this remains so.
MS has made a muddle of this (and many other things, or can you run a headless MS server?), so lets not change Operating Systems practice, and theory just because some companies have complete disregard of sound Engineering practices ....
So, the person that buys a service (software) and is told that there is an upgrade procedure by theÂservice provider, is actually an idiot?
I will not throw a cheap car analogy, because it is so obvious how to do it that it is painful just to think about it.
What about blaming the manufacturer that says something is possible and the results are far from, er, desirable....
Because it provides a social necessity.
If the service was not socialized then small communicates will either not be served or would have to pay more to send (or even receive) a letter.
In which kind of Communist country do you live?
"I couldn't imagine anyone using COBOL to write a game or a utility or any complex application."
And then
"I learned it on a mainframe type of environment and used it essentially as a report generation language."
Well. Duh!
COBOL handles with ease big volumes of data, because normally the data is organized in a very methodical fashion (more often than not DBMS are the direct replacement of old COBOL systems).
People deriding COBOL for its speed simply don't know what they are talking about.

They can publish the photographs in as many formats as they wish (books, post cards, calendars, whatever). Those works would certainly be protected by copyright.
If the NPG does not want this to happen again, they can watermark the images or stop publishing them outside the UK.
If you don't understand the international nature of the Internet you should not be using it.
If you make a work public you must consider that it may be perfectly legitimate for people in other countries to copy it for a variety of reasons.
Look, if you are fat (and you know if you are) BMI gives you a trending tool about how your weight is doing.
It is simple and straight forward to measure, and it related to your size and structure.
so it may be an imperfect tool, but it is a useful one.
... can't be helped.
Like any addict really.

The extra weight does not appear magically there.
You have to puts that food in your mouth.
You could chosse to put some other foods (lots of them by volume, and thus as filling), but the problem is that we are not thought how to do this.
Eat vegetable soups (as much as you like: how much can you realistically have?) with a bit of lean protein (a bit of lean meat of any kind, a handful of nuts, one or two eggs) and a roll of wholemeal bread (witha little bit of olive oil or perhaps cottage cheese).
Those food will not only keep you full, but will tell your brain you are full.
Both the diet and the man.
High fat foods is a highway to a painful and early death, but feel free.
The only thing the good Dr got right is that protein suppresses appetite, that is a scientific fact, but the high fat nonsense is hocus pocus.
You also need carbs (it is where you get your energy from), but you can get them from wholegrain bread and rice, sweet potatoes and any other foods with low glycemic index (which release carbs slowly, and thus don't promote cravings).

No matter if it is muscle or fat.
That does not mean it is wrong for the same reasons, but it is not healthy either way (now please who me somebody with a BMI of 40 obtained only by extra muscle, lets see how the poor bastard looks ...)

Google is not selling anybody trademarks.
Nobody can, after paying Goolge some money, use those trademarks to advertise their products and services.
Google is selling ads, and they are facilitating the ad placement by telling you which information will exist in the same page.
That is not trademark violation by any sane definition....
